for something you had no confidence in Brunoboi, Belinda did incredibly well, it was in my top 15 but missed out on points from Rontvia :cry:

 

Lights I much prefer, so by rights you should be back in the top 3 next month

:lol: Well actually before I announced her I really thought she would go top ten but then everyone gave their opinions and the odds - what was I sposed to think?

 

I also prefer LIGHTS but to be honest have no idea how she will do. i'm glad to have your support though, it is much appreciated ^_^

 

Oh and btw - Quicksand (by my calculations) scored 35.75% of the available points so doesn't make the top ten 'most successful songs' :o it was a pretty tight contest so Mdice et others took a lot of the high scores away from La Roux

many people don't give any sort of opinions though, and these 'silent voters' are where you will pick up most of your points

 

for fear of repeating myself, when I make a statement, in any thread in this entire forum, it is my personal opinion, out of 45+ countries...so if I say I dislike a song, there are still potentially 528 points on offer (12x44)...one person's opinion means nothing...only when you get 15 people in a row saying that they hate a song should you be worried[/headhunted] :rofl:

LOL, you didnt get 15 Rich, stop being over dramatic, it was 10 at the most LOL.

Which is why I dislike odds as they can give the impression of fifteen people in a row saying they dislike a song when actually they're just copying the first bloke :wacko:

actually I was always too polite to say I properly hated it :blush: (sorry Rich)

everything's updated :D we just need Peter to tell us if any of this contest's songs were in the ten biggest, percentage wise...I would imagine La Roux must have been :o

 

the top 5 remain unchanged although Ashton and Simondly have caught up with FSR Rontvia, Kopecka and Mdice will need a dire run of songs to ever be taken over at the top...Eledan, Quotosibb, Kingdom Of Shadow and Nonsuch are catching up whilst Bhangra, Simondly, Angelicland and Kylienips are never far behind...Ashton are now the most sucessful non-winners

Just remember Peter that it was 44 voters, not 45. I'm not having my only winner miss this list! :P

You still just miss out :cry: - 36.55%

or the other way round, people seeing something in first and everyone rushing to give it high odds...which is why I always try to do my odds first if at all possible

actually I was always too polite to say I properly hated it :blush: (sorry Rich)

 

:lol: that's ok, it's all a matter of personal taste

so that everyone copies you? :lol: And that's why you always overate yourself

 

lol j/k - I'm just bitter at being a rubbish predictor

so that everyone copies you? :lol: And that's why you always overate yourself

 

you got it in one :cheer:

 

no actually, it's because I know that I'll be influenced by other people if I don't do it first and I hate letting myself fall into this trap -_-

 

I have got the winner right 5 of the last 6 contests though, Brandy caught me off guard though :o

Just typed Headhunted into youtube, by Mira Craig. Make that 16 :kink: :P

 

I think the contest may be unpredictable but it isn't that unpredictable, this winner was predicted to do extremely well from the get go. Then again i've only seen one contest, i don't really know.

Beverley Knight came out of nowhere.

 

As did most of the Pre-BJSCVII winners.

 

IKAG was always gonna win. as was WYRMT.

 

Brandy was a shock in BJSCX

I was really quite pleased with my one win too, it's great to see people liking a song I love so much enough for it to win. The only live winner too. ^_^

Argh! corrected.

 

I did think it looked wrong.

 

Twas amazing :wub:

Heh, sorry, it's a bit of a pet hate I have.

 

I'd love to send her again but I don't think she has another song as good as 'Black Butta' so it would probably pale in comparison. Actually, I prefer one song of hers to 'Black Butta' but most of her fans even call it a MOR song. :( I want someone to send her again though, just to see how she'd go down in this 'new era'.

The Queen Of Starting Over? :thinking:

I have no idea how she'd go down.

 

There has been a drastic shift in what works, and what doesn't. As the contest shifted i had got into a proper groove of improving positions after the cheapness of BJSCI [21-16-9-4-2] since VII i haven't been so sure of what would do well.

 

I think most of my songs that i have lined up would have done well Pre-Untouched, but i'm not sure about Post-Untouched. I quite like Piece Of My Heart and Come As you Are.

 

I am considering entering a cover of POMH but am really indifferent about how it would go

I was thinking of Till I See Ya at one point. I dont really think Come As You Are or Shoulda Woulda Coulda would be too cheap eother as they werent exactly hugely memorable hits.
