I also thought Tom has been very clever promoting his entry, Thermostatic got no support from me as I was busy with all the hosting duties, I completely forgot to promote my entry, I don't think they even had a prominent place in my signature, I had the contest logo, and then one line at the bottom saying 'vote for Thermostatic' :lol:

 

if I ever host again, my entry will get the full attention it deserves :heehee:

 

I don't regret sending Driving though, I love it, and it was a good risk for Rontvia to take, a good break from the pop

 

It will certainly be interesting to see the affect of shoving a song down peoples throats compared to letting people listen to the songs at their own pace - and indeed watching the votes coming in (I'll say it once again) is VERY interesting!

 

Back to the age old issue of the confirmation thread - I would say there are more people in favour of the confirm one song and don't change it arguement and I would definately lead this campaign. the way I tried to do it this time was to allow people to reserve artists in the same thread as they confirmed the artist they wanted to use which I think in future is a very reasonable compromise

I think it definitely works.

 

Gigi D'Alessio may not have qualified for me, but I'm convinced I would not have got votes from 11 out of the 21 countries had I not shoved the song down peoples throats. In fact among the 11 countries were all 9 countries I visited on my "promo tour." Coinsidence?

Hmm I reckon the host is doing slightly better than he thought he would, or maybe I'm reading into it too much. :lol:

Before i found my BJSCXI entry I was considering to send "Hate This Part" by Pussycat Dolls, their second single which is to be released in december. I really like the song :wub: Would it be cheap? :o

I thought the song with Missy elliot was their new one? :o - I do hope they've changed it as i do not like it at all!

Oooh and Tom...

 

anyone on nil points??

I think it definitely works.

I would've given it points anyway :P But it did make me listen to it once more than all the other songs so it could've made a difference. :naughty:

Andreas Johnson - Rontiva - Andreas Johnson - Really?!

I suppose FNT Nickodonia gave alot of points to Herzebania. It was much appreciated after our huge support of their entries in the past :)

Andreas Johnson - Rontiva - Andreas Johnson - Really?!

i know!

 

Bloody awful song, the only Rontivan entry not to have scored points from Ashton

and what's wrong with Andreas Johnson? :lol:

:lol: luckily not everyone agreed, it came 8th after all :kink:

and what's wrong with Andreas Johnson? :lol:

 

IMMENSE artist but it's just really not very Rontvian is it? :lol:

well...he's Swedish, and he was in Melodifestivalen this year, just like Sibel and Sanna :lol:

 

or do you mean because he's a male artist or maybe becuase Glorious was a well known song and I usually go for unknown tracks?

'Glorious' is fantastic. A forgotten gem from the early part of the century! :wub:

 

 

I might go for one of those for my next entry, it's either that or what's likely to be my next personal chart number one. :kink: (unless of course one of the BJSC X entries gets there first! ^_^)

that's why I entered it to the contest, everyone knows it, but few people remember it being such a big hit (No.4 I seem to recall)

 

look forward to seeing Utopia's next entry :D

Allecian are in talks with the band M People to represent them in BJSCXI although nothing is confirmed yet

and what's wrong with Andreas Johnson? :lol:

 

 

I hate to say this, but you have a fascination with Swedish artists, try something different preferably a female Austrian :heehee:

excuse me, Mira Craig was Norwegian :heehee:

 

and next time it will either be a Brit or a Canadian, although I am yet to decide

 

no Scandinavians for BJSCXI :cheer:
