April 6, 200817 yr I just feel people like to send songs that for one, get points based on name solely, and then they pick songs that they automatically know Buzzjack likes and refuse to take risks. Everyone's played it safe at some points during this, i remember you winning in BJSC1 with a Britney Spears song, albeit a B-Side, but still im going to guess she got you some points based on name solely. People know what it takes to win, including you ^_^ Great contest, im glad with the winner :D Bit disappointed with my position though :lol:
April 6, 200817 yr Author I'm 4th :o thanks guys for all the votes, sorry I couldn't be here I had chart duties in the chart forum. Well done to Elidan And to RSF Rontvia for hosting sorry if it looks like I was skiving Mikey, I know I'm a chart mod but I'm never usually here on Sunday at this time...I just have 5 weeks off for dissertation writing...which reminds me I must write the chart commentary :rofl:

People know what it takes to win, including you ^_^ Great contest, im glad with the winner :D Bit disappointed with my position though :lol: I did, at that point, enter Britney mainly with the idea that it would score me higher points (despite also loving the song). But I don't plan on doing that anymore, as shown with the song I entered this time round. I'm not so much dissapointed with how I did, but some other songs that really should have done better. Whatever. *shrugs* It's BJ so I really should not have expected as much anyhoo, and not really like anything I say will change anyone's opinion, haha.

People know what it takes to win, including you ^_^ Great contest, im glad with the winner :D Bit disappointed with my position though :lol: I've only ever once entered a song to try and get points :lol: BJSC1: Delta-Believe Again (17th) was my favourite song at the time BJSC2: Natasha Bedingfield-Stumble (17th)...here I was playing on the famous person factor plus I know a lot of Natasha fans love this track as its not been on any UK album BJSC3: Andreas Johnson-Glorious (8th) I wanted to enter a male vocalist and this is one of my favourite male vocal tracks of all time BJSC4: Sara Bareilles-Love Song (1st) My favourite song of 2008...that's the one and only reason I entered it BJSC5: Sibel-The Diving Belle (8th) The best track off my current No.1 album...I don't think many people have ever heard of her so I hope they liked the song!
April 6, 200817 yr my biggest thanks goes to Triodopolis as I absolutely love the Kate Vogele song and will be looking further into her back catalogue :wub: your welcome :w00t: :wub: Your not the only one who's trawling through her back catalogue :D I've been looking around, one album on HMV for £11.99
April 6, 200817 yr you usually come up with great songs and I didn't think this time was any exception...shame people don't like The Revelations in separate Bhangra news, I never knew Maggie Reilly (who was on Bhangra's first entry Moonlight Shadow) did the original of Cascada's Everytime We Touch :o I discovered the song yesterday and I love it :wub: I didn't know that either! :o I'll have to check it out. :D thanks David, thank goodness I don't have to do it again though :o it takes a lot of preparation, as I'm sure you know David from last time! Oh I know it does. :o Although I didn't bother with a re-cap video haha so that was a bonus!
April 6, 200817 yr Author your welcome :w00t: :wub: Your not the only one who's trawling through her back catalogue :D I've been looking around, one album on HMV for £11.99 if I see it when I'm out tomorrow I'll get it...if not I might get it online! its just my genre really...
April 6, 200817 yr Author I didn't know that either! :o I'll have to check it out. :D Oh I know it does. :o Although I didn't bother with a re-cap video haha so that was a bonus! :lol: it took me so long listening to all of the songs to determine where the choruses were...trust me, I know every song in this competition back to front :lol: here's Maggie's video: same chorus, different verses jRzgTozNA2Q
April 6, 200817 yr Keyshia Cole said show is basically based by pop music...thats why she finished bottom 4
April 6, 200817 yr Balls, yeh thats the only word I have to say about Simmondly's progress yet again :rofl: I think Simmondly needs some new decieders for songs man. :lol: Well done Rich :D great show and well done to the winner :D
April 6, 200817 yr Author Balls, yeh thats the only word I have to say about Simmondly's progress yet again :rofl: I think Simmondly needs some new decieders for songs man. :lol: Well done Rich :D great show and well done to the winner :D thanks Simon, glad everyone seemed to like the show, apologies for my basic scoreboard, I couldn't understand the technical scoreboards used in previous contests :rofl:
April 6, 200817 yr Congrats Pavel & Eledan :cheer: Many thanks to Rich for a superb show, and on behalf of the Sugababes and the people of Ashton, i thank every1 for their votes. my highest finish to date :w00t: that risk i took by sending a live video paid off
April 6, 200817 yr Author well done Ashton, it was a great performance...one of the ones I regretted not giving points too because there were so many great tracks :(
April 7, 200817 yr M.I.A would like to thank everyone that voted her into ninth. USI always come in the top 15 somewhere, Next time.. We're going to win. :kink:
April 7, 200817 yr Author M.I.A would like to thank everyone that voted her into ninth. USI always come in the top 15 somewhere, Next time.. We're going to win. :kink: yes you recovered well! It wasn't doing very well until near the end when it suddenly shot up the scoreboard! It's a great song which I gave one of my hard fought points too :wub:
April 7, 200817 yr Oh my, I thought the final voting started on April 6th! :( I haven't been on much recently due to my fascist aunt forbidding the internet you see :smoke: M.I.A. totally deserved to win this thing :( Good winner though! ^_^ And Kopecka is still glad with #10, although we will be back with a vengeance in June :smoke:
April 7, 200817 yr Author It's a shame you missed out :( You would have finished 4th if you'd voted (well, unless you gave your 12 points to any of the six songs behind you) but it was only fair that I deducted 20% of your points :P
April 7, 200817 yr Author Sometimes I wonder why I still even bother entering this. The votes are so predicatble and all the songs that do well all follow the same forumula. It's a shame that the clear four best songs in the competition are smack dab in the middle. Granted, this is one of the better winners, but still...=/ Oh well. Can I just redirect Mdice to this thread: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=67404 which proves that you are the only country to have 4 top ten finishes and the second most successful country overall based on total points scored...
