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.

Distant Dreamer is unlikely to finish outside the top 10 IMHO.

Lets see if I'm spectacularly wrong, but I can't see the winner coming from outside the Top 4 in my odds

 

Here are Nonsuch's odds:

 

Torchwood: Lady Gaga - Paparazzi 5/2

Mdice: Brandy - Right Here 5/2

JRK-off: Shontelle - T-Shirt 5/2

Utopia: PNAU ft Ladyhawke - Embrace 7/2

Allecian: The Saturdays - Up 8/1

United States of Jack: VV Brown - Crying Blood 8/1

Ojnoj: Katy Perry - Self-Inflicted 9/1

Quotosibb: MIA - Jimmy 9/1

Kopecka: Camille - Money Note 9/1

Eledan: Maria Mena - Just hold Me 10/1

Bokia: Ani Lorak - Smile 16/1

Ferverosia: Da Buzz - Dangerous 16/1

Bhangra: Kate Ryan - Free 16/1

Angellic Land: Charlotte Perelli - Bullet 20/1

Kingdom of Shadow: Roisin Murphy - Movie Star 20/1

Tinnmark: Marion Raven - Here I Am 25/1

Nonsuch: Duffy - Distant Dreamer 33/1

Vulcania: Kerry Ellis - Defying Gravity 33/1

Sangria: Yelle - Ce Jeu 40/1

Hitanya: Gwen Stefani - Bubble Pop Electric 40/1

Farahtyn: Dean Geyer - If You Don't Mean It 50/1

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

Tapatilandia: Christina Aguilera - Soar 66/1

BaNG: The Knife - Heartbeats 66/1

Lorikeet: Jamelia - La La Love 75/1

Land of Jack: Titiyo - Come Along 75/1

Faztickle: Daft Punk - One More Time 100/1

 

I think overall interest in Shontelle has really declined over the last week or so :heehee: I'd be very surprised to see it finish in the Top 5...

I think Distant Dreamer will do much better than what thisispop thinks it will.

oh my god Pavel :o Crying Blood at 40/1 :rofl: no way would it do so badly!

 

I really can't see how Duffy will do :unsure: it may be viewed as a tad cheap as it's from the biggest selling album of the year, and by far the biggest new star of the year, plus I don't think Distant Dreamer is anywhere near the standout track on the album

 

having said that, I know that the artist and the song has a lot of fans on here...I predict mid-table, 12th-16th but it could easier go higher or lower than that

TBH i think Crying Blood too overrated :(

^ agreed.

 

i'm still backing Money Note FTW

I think Allecian has this in the bag.

I don't see how Crying Blood is overrated as such, it's only made top odds on a few people odds. Like I said, I expected and it probably will be a mid table hit.

oh i forgot "is" in my previous post :( :kink:

 

MONEY NOTE FTW!!!!!!

MONEY NOTE FTW!!!!!!

Speaking of overrated... :lol:

I think Allecian has this in the bag.

I feel the same. Up is sooooo good :heart: The Saturdays FTW and Camille for Top3 :cheer:

:arrr:

Tinmark all the way :wub: :cheer:

Tinmark all the way :wub: :cheer:

Agree, the song is FABULOUS :wub:

Speaking of overrated... :lol:

:cry:

No way is VV over-rated.

 

I think Mdice will win it tbh

Right Here (Departed) is overrated in my opinion, if we're all saying what we think is overrated :lol:

 

I think Brandy has done far better in the past...

Oh and if were saying who's underrated then can i mention Jamelia LOL. Hardly anyone mentions her.
