some big changes, the most notable being the huge cut of odds for United States Of Jack...which is closing in on Embrace and Paparazzi...I think it's between 7 songs, but it's certainly more open than last time...

 

Utopia: PNAU ft Ladyhawke - Embrace 2/1

Torchwood: Lady Gaga - Paparazzi 3/1

United States of Jack: VV Brown - Crying Blood 4/1

JRK-off: Shontelle - T-Shirt 7/1

Mdice: Brandy - Right Here 7/1

Kopecka: Camille - Money Note 7/1

Eledan: Maria Mena - Just hold Me 8/1

Ojnoj: Katy Perry - Self-Inflicted 10/1

Quotosibb: MIA - Jimmy 12/1

Allecian: The Saturdays - Up 15/1

Bhangra: Kate Ryan - Free 20/1

Nonsuch: Duffy - Distant Dreamer 22/1

Angellic Land: Charlotte Perelli - Bullet 25/1

Bokia: Ani Lorak - Smile 25/1

Sangria: Yelle - Ce Jeu 28/1

Kingdom of Shadow: Roisin Murphy - Movie Star 30/1

Hitanya: Gwen Stefani - Bubble Pop Electric 30/1

Ferverosia: Da Buzz - Dangerous 40/1

Tyronosaurusland: Space Cowboy ft Nadiah Oh - My Egyptian Lover 50/1

Tapatilandia: Christina Aguilera - Soar 50/1

Tinnmark: Marion Raven - Here I Am 60/1

BaNG: The Knife - Heartbeats 60/1

Lorikeet: Jamelia - La La Love 75/1

Land of Jack: Titiyo - Come Along 75/1

Farahtyn: Dean Geyer - If You Don't Mean It 80/1

Faztickle: Daft Punk - One More Time 80/1

Vulcania: Kerry Ellis - Defying Gravity 100/1

Yeah, I was referring to the large semi-final era mostly because before then only one host had flopped in the following contest. 5/9 winners finished top 10 when they hosted and Eledan's isn't really a flop as it is top half. So the only host flops come from me, you and David so far. I think it's probably just a coincidence that two of the last three hosts have flopped, we just didn't pick good enough songs. If I had to guess, I'd say Roisin will probably fall short of the top 10, maybe at around 13th or 14th, which is pretty much on the border for flop/success.

 

I have reviewed my odds for Movies actually, I think it has more crossover appeal than I initially thought :o

Woah @ VV Brown's odds :mellow:

 

I was really expecting a mid table hit with this tbh.

15 (20) 25/1 Sangria (Yelle)

 

Sangria: Yelle - Ce Jeu 28/1

Yelle's odds are becoming much better then they were before the SFs :cheer:

It's interesting to see who people have put at the BOTTOM of their odds - Some people may be surprised on Monday *COUGH*possibly-missleading-statement*COUGH*

I think brunoboi might end up doing a pavel soon with all these clues :lol:

 

Although it must be hard to keep the votes to yourself.....I can imagine if I had results and the winner was someone who hasn't won before and they kept saying they'll never win I'd want scream "You won! You won!" at them :heehee:

 

 

I would never give clues - I make statements which could or could not lead one to draw a conclusion about the competition :thinking:

It's a lovely song. :wub:

same for United States Of Russiatron, who made the first 8 finals and have missed the last two :o

 

it's all about making the right song choice I suppose as Simon Cowell says to all the contestants on X Factor :lol:...

 

We will come back with a vengence. Once we get rid of that prime minister Paul Danan. :smoke:.

Are you saying that Kerry Ellis is defying gravity by being far from the bottom of the table? :kink:

Well we know that the winner so far is one of the songs at the top of peoples odds, and that there are a couple of songs at the bottom doing very well...top 5 perhaps?

Jamelia hopefully is one of them

I am led to believe you have read far too much into my posts :blink:

You are the most patient host i think, Tom :heehee: I would already got crazy :lol: But who knows

:P

I'm tempted to shorten the odds of VV Brown again...I now think it's a three horse race between US Jack, Utopia and Torchwood

:lol: :D :) ^_^ -_- <_< :mellow: :unsure: :wacko: :cry:

 

I could of course be completely wrong and they could all be outside the top ten! highly unlikely a prospect that would be though...

I find it is better to reply in this thread through the medium of smilies so as to avoid giving away any unwanted information as to the provisional results I am currently in possesion of so:

This will be a strange final for me, because I'm hacked off that I could not enter Ladyhawke - Dusk To Dawn which has been a personal chart #1 for me which I reckon could have won this competition (certainly a Top 5 finish), as I never used Ladyhawke's Paris Is Burning in BJSC8 because I'd heard Dusk To Dawn and figured it was a much better/stronger song, but then Paris Is Burning came Top 3, so I had to wait until BJSC 10, and then Utopia have entered Embrace which I don't think is as good as Dusk To Dawn.

 

So I've gone with Duffy's Distant Dreamer which I think will struggle to do better than a mid table finish in the Final.

 

Still at least (I think) I've got a cracker of a killer song lined up for BJSC 11. ;)
