August 1, 20222 yr Gah! Congrats Cody :clap: I should have known the winner would be yet another song that was a commiseration for me, that is like the 4th one in a row lmao, aamourocean once again remains the only winner I've voted for this year. Still a perfectly cromulent winner though. I shall definitely wait until I have double checked the leaderboard to fully celebrate but :cheeseblock: if the grace of the Republic of Adonia deduction was what barely allowed me to clinch another unique position here!! (Completing the top 29 and now only missing #30 and #40-42 from the regularly possible positions x)
August 1, 20222 yr loved this contest! thanks Jupe for hosting! kinda gave up with my entry after seeing how things were going but I've managed to gain a unique position by finishing 35th! Results went my way too and happy to see a Cor Lupus winner! Something a bit bolder for the being rewarded is great to see! Although shame as it's my 15 and 18 just behind, great all round!
August 1, 20222 yr Author Only four nations ever led: Summercia, Jadakissnia, Beaverdonia and Cor Lupus. I had to do a lot of finangling with the results to stop Cor Lupus leading for a lot of the rundown! Cor Lupus and Aeroche picked up the highest number of votes, 33 and 34 respectively, but each only nabbed one 18. That has to be rare for a top 2 eh?!
August 1, 20222 yr Delighted with 13th!! :wub: Was hoping to scrape top 20 after some of the vote droughts so a lovely bump at the end, ty all x (not bad for yet another month of completely no hype ) Well done Cody!!
August 1, 20222 yr 32 lol. f*** this shit, I'm OUT!!!! Has anyone checked if Cody has a pulse? I'm not convinced he survived this tension
August 1, 20222 yr Well done Cody, it sounded pretty timeless a track! Wow, fab result - 4th *.* and my second top five in three contests, I thought it sounded big but was brought back to earth when it was given a borderline Q prediction. But then the recent hype raised my hopes again! Never thought this mad track could be a top five though but very grateful for all the votes! I’m in shock at Kath, what!? I thought it would have 100 more points, so many people I thought would love it didn’t go for it. Glad it crept into the top three in the end, what a banger Obviously elated to see my 18 next to me in the top five - what a great summer retro choice from Jade! Very disappointed at Crumble being that low, it’s such a great Carly-esque track! Shame. And 9-4-8 for Alba, I thought she’d be higher, I think she’s been well and truly exhausted in BJSC now but good to know she’s the Queen of consistency, another epic soaring pop anthem. Jupiter the hosting was great fun and a great pace - loved all the hints and tips throughout too, thanks a lot! Edited August 1, 20222 yr by gooddelta
August 1, 20222 yr That’s the second time I’ve scored 133pts in a contest but I’ve claimed a unique position with 33rd! Dw guys I’m just grabbing all the 30-something finishes before my impending dogwalk through the top ten.
August 1, 20222 yr Author Thanks y'all, this was fun (the spreadsheeting especially, my inner Marie Kondo approved) so glad you enjoyed as well, that was the goal! Competing with the final of love island, I must be doing something right ;)
August 1, 20222 yr I'll take 12th! Well done Cody, a decent winner! Not wild about a lot of the top ones, but happy for Kath and Jade too.
August 1, 20222 yr Wow, I only voted for two of the final top ten - Jadakissnia and Skall! (And would have been Beaverdonia I assume had there not been the reduction?)
August 1, 20222 yr Author As I say, Kathaldazia trounced most of the field in terms of high points, picking up six 18s and four 15s, but was let down by only picking up 26 voters to the leaders' 34. However, it was a very spread out contest with nearly everyone scoring over 100 but not even all of the top 10 crossing 200. Its not every contest that 25th is only 50 points shy of the top 10!
August 1, 20222 yr congrats Cor Lupus, amazing to have a dance epic take the pole position again and with Aeroche and Kath completing the top three it has to be the strongest podium of the year to date. very pleased with the 6th position for Danæviia this time making it our first top ten of the year (ta Quintessa and Summericia for the last minute big points) shame we couldn’t have had Yehesi smash this month (how did that get left behind when just about all the other big energy dance did well?) but an otherwise great showing for my faves and me.
August 1, 20222 yr As I say, Kathaldazia trounced most of the field in terms of high points, picking up six 18s and four 15s, but was let down by only picking up 26 voters to the leaders' 34. I had an inkling this would be the case. We can't win with the pop voters it seems </3 Very grateful for those high points. I remember watching the BOTA video when it had 100 views and to see it rising up the UK Chart now and going viral is a bit surreal. (Inb4 it suddenly grows on the non-voters now when it's a chart hit x) Amazing hosting Jupiter :clap: and congrats Cody!! Nice to see Skall snatch a top 10 and FSR Rontvia and Aeroche so high
August 1, 20222 yr Thanks for the last place position! It’s a first time coming last and I don’t mind at all this time as it was a bonus to have qualified in the first place, and hopefully when we see the full scoreboard and semis it will be clear I narrowly qualified. But thank you to those who gave points this month, especially East Rukahavian for the 15! Cody, I don’t begrudge you winning another contest; I just envy your talismanic ability to always pass up on a good song… until now when you won! :P I guess you can’t have any complaints this time, and I look forward to my first ever trip to the land of Cor Lupus very soon. ;)
August 1, 20222 yr Double checked the scoreboard and it all matches mine so we're all good! These were the tiebreaks for anyone curious: Skall/Summericia 26 votes to 23 Kyriatine/Yobnedorica 21 votes to 20 Séyetana/Dobago 20 votes to 18 N DNTN/Yehesi 18 votes to 16 New Lexico/Kluminican Republic 18 votes to 17 Eastovka/Cumulonimbia both 14 votes, 1 18 to 0 :clap: to Kath finally getting another podium finish even if not the winner so many predicted - to be honest I never really felt the 'landslide winner' vibes from it myself, I did think it was the most likely winner but never thought it'd be by that large a margin (although its recent appearances in a lot of personal charts was starting to make me more of a believer in that). A Kathaldazia win is still bound to happen one day I'm certain. Hope it'll be with a song I actually vote for xx Fabulous to see 'Bicstan' finishing top 5 even if its brief lead was too good to be true and nice to see Jadakissnia up there too, even outdoing the result of 'Yo Quiero Bailar'! (I still like that one more but this is good too, Jade talented at picking out the retro Spanish europop bops x). Those two and Aeroche ended up being the only ones in the top 10 that I voted for so it's yet another month of me being largely out of touch, although Beaverdonia would have been a fourth if they didn't have a deduction (something something no one knew what the deadline was this is an outrage!!!) - Cor Lupus, Danæviia and Jupiterdonia were all in my commiserations too so it's not too bad a top 10 really. Nice to see Yobnedorica just sneaking a top 20 with their first finalist, a little disappointed at Séyetana being as low as 21st though as that was a pretty clear 18 for me but I suppose it's still a fairly niche ish sound. Actually a lot of my faves (and myself) ending up in the 21-30 region so I choose to count that as the real top 10!! Also whaaat at KUČKA coming as low as 31st, I honestly would have earmarked that as a contender early on? (Admittedly I wasn't really keeping an eye on it during the results) Thanks for the hosting Joops and looking forward to returning to Cor Lupus for 147! (which I currently have nothing for again, coming for last minute realness again perhaps x) PS don't forget to post the spreadsheets x
August 1, 20222 yr 29th, not too bad! Thanks to any Pestolia voters, especially Wholune + Seyetana for your 18s (getting up to 13th in the leaderboards before immediately plummeting back down was quite the emotional rollercoaster :lol:). Most of my faves are outside the top 20 (:() but I'm glad Aeroche, FSR Rontvia, Jadakissnia and Skall made the top ten <3 Congrats to Cody and thanks Jupiter for hosting!
August 1, 20222 yr Congrats to Cody. It's a while since I have given any points to Cor Lupus so I'm pleased to see that the one I voted for ended up winning. Thanks Joops for making this contest so entertaining.
