August 13, 2024Aug 13 Well done Jade! 5th is very pleasing after starting off average, but I would have definitely wanted my collaborative partner to score much higher than 15th! If it is indeed an individual win rather than a joint win then really there wasn't any need to prevent votes for our partners in my opinion. But I'm glad to have at least given it a go so there wasn't an odd number.
August 13, 2024Aug 13 It had to be Jade, spin-off supremo *.* What a great top three there though. The foreign pop came through and POPHub was a great 80s discovery! Nice to see Scotland 2 do well, loved that one and must check out more stuff by them. 9th and 10th is great for Iz and I, nice to place next to each other and both in the top ten, very happy with that outcome. Thanks to all the voters. So who is the winning pair, once the scores are combined, AbelPOPton by the looks of it after Beaver's deduction? Thanks for running with this concept NocheLuna, was great fun to team up and I did find some good songs here. I didn't really have an idea how the theme would work in practice but you've run it well and I've enjoyed your hosting. Edited August 13, 2024Aug 13 by gooddelta
August 13, 2024Aug 13 Author so is it individual winner or the winning team? either way congratz Jade!!! its an individual winner! I decided against a team winning before i added all the scores and stuff. I felt that it would not have been fair for one person to lose out on a great placing because their partner forgot to vote (the results would have gone on as normal before i combined each pair's score together)
August 13, 2024Aug 13 but isn’t that the whole point of a collaboration contest? you either win or lose as a team? either way i’m happy Abeltesfayeton and I were able to finish so high on the scoreboard. thanks for hosting nocheluna :heart:

August 13, 2024Aug 13 Congrats on winning Jade! A fantastic entry indeed :wub: 8th is the highest we've come in a while :heart: I'll also happily share the crown for AbelPOPton, thanks for sending a banger Calum x. Jadakissnia did deserve to win after giving us that 12 :kink: Thank you! Thanks to Jack, Michael ('Abeltsyawistworth' made me laugh for so damn long :lol: Country renaming coming soon potentially :D), Noche and that bronze and the silver from Ansel and Wardy respectively :wub: Thanks for hosting a fresh and successful theme NocheLuna, we hope to be back in Lotunia soon!

Like an individual winner/ result makes no sense? :lol:
August 13, 2024Aug 13 That's great to see both Rontvia and myself finishing in the top 10 - I'd have given Casanova 12 if I could too, beautiful discovery. Thanks especially to Trifoski for the 12 and all the other votes, ly xx Called it for Jade, that was a great little song - very much enjoyed a lot of this spinoff really, the others in the top 3 were also highlights. Good concept NocheLuna, thanks for hosting.
August 13, 2024Aug 13 Also, thank you also to Cadelicia for the gold medal, Pestolia for silver, and bronze medals from POPHub, Sovarasma and Trifoski. :wub: Please let it not be another year before we do another spin-off contest. :cry:
August 13, 2024Aug 13 Please let it not be another year before we do another spin-off contest. :cry: Halloween spin-off should be up this year I think!
August 13, 2024Aug 13 Author Well done Jade! 5th is very pleasing after starting off average, but I would have definitely wanted my collaborative partner to score much higher than 15th! If it is indeed an individual win rather than a joint win then really there wasn't any need to prevent votes for our partners in my opinion. But I'm glad to have at least given it a go so there wasn't an odd number. Gonna try an keep this brief. The reason I did not allow each pair to vote for each other boils down to this: I did not know how each pair would select their songs. a) Did one person send a list of songs with similarites to the other so he/she/they could chose from that? b) Did they go hunting for songs together, find a bunch of songs that sounded similar and chose their favorites from that? c) Did they share their own potentials with each other and found from their own lists two songs that shared similarities? a and b would beg the question: How much is your song my song? I felt that if people went down either of these routes it would be kinda like voting for your own song. Which is not allowed. Option C would have been a good argument for allowing pairs to vote for each other. I guess I could have forced option C (or a variation of that) when I assigned the partners, but idk if that would have gone down well with everyone/been to dictatorial. I lowkey also did not want a Greece/Cyprus ESC situation where each pair gave each other 12 points/high scores... that would have been a bit boring. but isn’t that the whole point of a collaboration contest? you either win or lose as a team? either way i’m happy Abeltesfayeton and I were able to finish so high on the scoreboard. thanks for hosting nocheluna :heart: A very good point - Lets hope someone else wants to host another edition of this in the future!
August 13, 2024Aug 13 but isn’t that the whole point of a collaboration contest? you either win or lose as a team? I feel like a good idea for a future spinoff would be a similar duo concept but you choose one song between the two of you that represents you and your partner's tastes equally ! would definitely be fun although would probably benefit from 40+ entrants so there's more variety to vote from ~

August 14, 2024Aug 14 Congrats Jade on another comfortable win, it is a banger *.* and I voted for 7 of the top 10 but that was the only one of the top 3 I voted for oop - interesting to see Altyr do so much better than Sovarasma as I thought those songs were very similar. Fab to see Pestolia in the top 5 too + good results there for both Scotland 2 and Trifoski (7th place for Trifoski is basically a win tbh x), I wasn't sure how Wednesday would go down with the BuzzJack voters, I considered sending another song by them to the main contest in the past ('Bull Believer') but didn't have the guts to, 'Quarry' is a slightly less out there song anyway though x Aw at me missing the top 10 by just 1 or 2 points but 'Casanova' is a great song to lose out to. Happy to have got a few medal positions for this entry. If my quick calculations are correct all of those deductions only actually changed one position (Bøtanikkä would have been one place higher) - Hinterlandia being in the bottom 3 even before the deduction though :cry: y'all are doing them dirty so far, don't make me have to start a #justice4hinterlandia campaign already x I've had 'Starstruck' stuck in my head this evening. Thanks Noche for the hosting, nice to try out a new concept ~
August 14, 2024Aug 14 Well done Jade! Out of interest, what would the scoreboard look like if it was done in pairs? Probably better for Ansel that I don't drag his performance down though :kink:
August 14, 2024Aug 14 Congrats Jade on another spin-off win! Amazing result for POPhub, loved the song. Good to see Pestolia up there too, easy highlight! And good for Rontvia making Top 10, loved. Happy for my partner Scotland 2 - great song and would've been right up there in my votes. Thank you for hosting as well NocheLuna <3 Oop 12th not quite doing what I thought but happy for the votes regardless! Shame about the pairs not being the point of the results, think I would've made different choices had I known!
