July 23, 201212 yr VI: DNQ (Ayumi Hamasaki Mirrorcle World) IX: DNQ (Michelle Williams Unexpected) X: 12th (Shontelle T-Shirt) XI: 11th (Paris Hilton Nothing In This World) XII: DNQ (Trina Single Again) XIII: DNQ (Shaznay Lewis Never Felt Like This Before) XIV: 23rd (Natalie Bassingthwaighte This Can't Be Love) XV: DNQ (Se7en/Lil' Kim Girls) XVI: 8th (Space Cowboy Falling Down) XVII: 7th (Owl City Strawberry Avalanche) XVIII: 29th (Shy'm Step Back) XIX: 13th (Alexa Soulshock Push & Pull) XX: DNQ (Måns Zelmerlöw Freak Out) XXXV: DNQ (Jessica Folcker Snowflakes) XXXVI: 26th (SingerSen Drunk) XXXVII: 12th (Alpines Cocoon) XXXVIII: 6th (Medina Synd For Dig) XLVI: 7th (Namie Amuro Only You) So going by a 'hit' being a top 14 placing, my hit:flop ratio is 8:10. NOT BAD. Especially considering I chose some pretty dodgy entries in the early days.
July 23, 201212 yr Mirrorcle World will always remain your best entry EVAH and probably one of the best BJSC entries of all times. SWOON
July 23, 201212 yr Tbh I think Drunk is my best. Still to this day cannot comprehend that floppage. :(

July 23, 201212 yr XXXVII - The Wrecking Queens - Middle And Between - DNQ - FLOP XXXVIII - Emmon - Distance - 22nd - FLOP XXXIX - Alyssa Reid - The Game - 14th - HIT XL - Cady Groves - This Little Girl - 14th - HIT XLI - Nightwish - Turn Loose The Mermaids - 10th - HIT XLII - Xenia - Sing You Home - 29th (last) - FLOP XLIII - Shell Perris - Where Is My Happy Ending - 27th - FLOP XLIV - Poppy & The Jezebels - Sign In, Dream On, Drop Out - 23rd - FLOP XLV - Ruby Frost - Water To Ice - 13th - HIT XLVI - Years Away - Starting Fires - 18th - HIT/FLOP I tend to go by a hit for me being a top 20 placing (as I've done better than at least half of everyone else) so in that case my hit/flop ratio is exactly 50%. If it's the top half of the final, Starting Fires becomes a flop and it's 4:6. Not that bad. None of my entries have been massive hits. :( Although none have really been massive flops, my DNQ aside and even that did rather well for a non-qualifier.
July 23, 201212 yr XXVI: Krause - Soaring Through The Starlight - 28/48 = FLOP XXVII: Hanna Lindblad - Manipulated - 36/49 = FLOP XXVIII: The Storm - Wall Of Shame - 29/39 = FLOP XXIX: Ivi Adamou - Sose Me - 30/36 = FLOP XXX: Oesch's Die Dritten - Jodel Time - 24/30 = FLOP XXXI: Bermudaz - Dreaming Of Bermuda - 23/35 = FLOP XXXII: TinkaBelle - The Man I Need - 14/34 = HIT XXXIII: Katzenjammer - Lady Marlene - 9/28 = HIT XXXIV: B-A-B-E - (Itsie Bitsie Boe) Geef Maar Lekker Toe - DNQ = FLOP XXXV: Ane Brun - Do You Remember? - DNQ = FLOP XXXVI: Cecilie Fleur - Alle De Lykkelige Kærester - 15/28 = FLOP XXXVII: I Am A Camera - Endless Storm - 7/28 = HIT XXXVIII: Rebekka Karijord - Wear It Like A Crown - 11/29 = HIT XXXIX: Gabrielle - Bordet - 12/28 = HIT XL: The Modern - Sometimes - 19/29 = FLOP XLI: Marigold - You And I Know - 13/31 = HIT XLII: Katy Satyn - Magical Sensation - DNQ = FLOP XLIII: Susanne Sundfør - White Foxes - 9/29 = HIT XLIV: Above & Beyond feat.

July 23, 201212 yr VI: DNQ (Ayumi Hamasaki Mirrorcle World) IX: DNQ (Michelle Williams Unexpected) X: 12th (Shontelle T-Shirt) XI: 11th (Paris Hilton Nothing In This World) XII: DNQ (Trina Single Again) XIII: DNQ (Shaznay Lewis Never Felt Like This Before) XIV: 23rd (Natalie Bassingthwaighte This Can't Be Love) XV: DNQ (Se7en/Lil' Kim Girls) XVI: 8th (Space Cowboy Falling Down) XVII: 7th (Owl City Strawberry Avalanche) XVIII: 29th (Shy'm Step Back) XIX: 13th (Alexa Soulshock Push & Pull) XX: DNQ (Måns Zelmerlöw Freak Out) XXXV: DNQ (Jessica Folcker Snowflakes) XXXVI: 26th (SingerSen Drunk) XXXVII: 12th (Alpines Cocoon) XXXVIII: 6th (Medina Synd For Dig) XLVI: 7th (Namie Amuro Only You) So going by a 'hit' being a top 14 placing, my hit:flop ratio is 8:10. NOT BAD. Especially considering I chose some pretty dodgy entries in the early days. Falling Down still has PRIDE OF PLACE on my iPod. Lyrically it's HORRENDOUS and I should despise it but it's still the occasional shuffle jam. Your best is definitely Cocoon though.
July 23, 201212 yr My hit rate is only 12% (3/25) using the benchmark of top 14 = hit - Spark, Beth Ditto and Kidnap Kid are my only entries to go top 14. My qualification rate is only 60% (15/25) and taking out the 7 One Big Final contests it's just 44.4% (8/18) - this also leaves Kidnap Kid as my only hit to date and only barely, as it came 14th. Oops. I'd really like to bring the latter figure up to at least 50% but I'm so bad at picking songs :drama: My old tendency to not vote didn't actually make any difference to my DNQs because on no occasion would I have qualified had I voted. My other non-OBF qualifiers have come 17th, 24th, 29th, 22nd, 24th, 17th and 22nd in that order. At least I'm fairly consistent I guess. (My run in the 7 OBFs was 15-38-39-30-6-13-31).
July 23, 201212 yr I'm counting top fifteen as a hit, unless it was OBF in which case I'd count top twenty. 01 Jordin Sparks - Tattoo / 3rd = HIT 02 Vanessa Williams - Save the Best for Last / 11th = HIT 03 Jordin Sparks - Freeze / 19th = FLOP 04 Stefy - Chelsea / 3rd = HIT 05 Elena Paparizou - Gigolo / 4th/10th = HIT 06 Serebro - Opium / 9th = HIT 07 Rachel Stevens - I Said Never Again / 7th = HIT 08 Little Boots - Meddle / 12th = HIT 09 Ashlee Simpson - Little Miss Obsessive / 7th = HIT 10 Camille - Money Note / 8th = HIT (01-10 ratio: 9:1) 11 Janelle Monae - Many Moons / 19th = FLOP 12 La Roux - Quicksand / 1st = HIT 13 NASA et al - Gifted / 26th = FLOP 14 Saint Etienne - Method of Modern Love / 19th = FLOP 15 Erik Hassle - Hurtful / 4th = HIT 16 Dead Disco - You're Out [Frankmusik Remix] / DNQ = FLOP 17 Kaci - Crazy Possessive / 4th = HIT 18 Jasmine - Hot Lovin' / DNQ = FLOP 19 Priscilla Renea - Dollhouse / 3rd = HIT 20 The Sound of Arrows - Into the Clouds / 8th = HIT (11-20 ratio: 1:1) 21 Dollface - Miss Jamaica / 2nd = HIT 22 Adam Lambert - Whataya Want From Me / 18th = FLOP 23 Bon Iver - Skinny Love / 19th = FLOP (but given I'd expected it to DNQ, I'm happy with it) 24 Suzie McNeil - Help Me Out / 6th = HIT 25 Sia - Clap Your Hands / 4th = HIT 26 Girlicious - Maniac / 10th = HIT 27 Eric Saade - It's Gonna Rain / 1st = HIT 28 The You Know Who - Dance Tonight / 4th = HIT 29 BC Jean - Just A Guy / 3rd = HIT 30 Viktorious - When We Were Ten / 10th = HIT (21-30 ratio: 4:1) 31 Ro Danishei - Michelle / 18th = HIT 32 Elisabeth Carew - You'll Never Love Me / 2nd = HIT 33 Vendela - Punk Rock Song / 2nd = HIT 34 War of Words - Panic / 20th = FLOP 35 Selena Gomez & The Scene - Whiplash / 14th = HIT 36 Sisse Marie - Dirty Hands / 11th = HIT 37 Jody - Drama / 4th = HIT 38 Loreen - Sober / 1st = HIT 39 047 - Everything's Fine / 19th = FLOP 40 Washington - Holy Moses / 12th = HIT (31-40 ratio: 4:1) 41 Lena - Live Tomorrow / 11th = HIT 42 Lisa Miskovsky - Lover / 27th = FLOP 43 Catcall - The World Is Ours / DNQ = FLOP 44 Meiko - Leave The Lights On / 2nd = HIT 45 Moxiie - Dancing In The Dirt / 26th = FLOP 46 Diamond Rings - I'm Just Me / 28th = FLOP (41-46 ratio: 1:2) Really I could do with a COUPLE OF HITZ about now, and Meiko aside I'm on my worst run in quite a while, but overall I'm on 32 hits and 14 flops so I can be HAPPY with that. I'm still a little PUT OUT that my favourite entry of all of these finished eighth, although I think the result I treasure most still was Jody's 4th - written off by basically EVERYONE but coming top five against all the odds was v delicieux.
July 23, 201212 yr So going by top 15 is a HIT, let's see what my ratio is! BJSC 37: 22nd BJSC 38: DNQ BJSC 39: 21st BJSC 40: 16th BJSC 41: 6th BJSC 42: 22nd BJSC 43: 6th BJSC 44: 7th BJSC 45: 3rd BJSC 46: 21st That would make 4 hits and 6 flops! :lol: Katie was VERY close in BJSC 40 though!
July 23, 201212 yr Mine is rather poor as I've either came Top 10, Bottom 10 or DNQ and never in the mid-table. :( BJSC XXXVII: DNQ - FLOP BJSC XXXVIII: 7th - HIT BJSC XXXIX: 23rd - FLOP BJSC XL: 28th - FLOP BJSC XLI: 28th - FLOP BJSC XLII: DNQ - FLOP BJSC XLIII: DNQ - FLOP BJSC XLIV: 6th - HIT BJSC XLV: 21st - FLOP BJSC XLVI: 5th - HIT

July 23, 201212 yr I guess anything that finishes between 1st and 15th (average for midtable results) can be regarded a hit. 16th to 30th therefore a flop. :( Agnes Obel - Riverside (1st = HIT) SX - Black Video (9th = HIT) Brooke Fraser - Something In The Water (4th = HIT) Andain - Promises (4th = HIT) Gotye feat. Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know (13th = HIT) <--- I'd regard it a hit even if it had finished last in the final :P André Ola feat. Helené - Erase You (DNQ = FLOP) <--- should've been Lykke Li 'I Follow Rivers (The Magician Remix)' :cry: Amatorski - Soldier (DNQ = FLOP) <--- did relatively well in Unknown Pleasures upon its second chance Kyla La Grange - Heavy Stone (6th = HIT) Studio Killers - Ode To The Bouncer (7th = HIT) Goodwill & Hook N' Sling - Take You Higher (12th = HIT) Ida - I Can Be (19th = FLOP) Kimbra feat. Mark Foster & A-Trak - Warrior (19th = FLOP) Ivan Gough & Feenixpawl feat. Georgi Kay - In My Mind (Axwell Remix) (7th = HIT) Oceana - Endless Summer (8th = HIT) I feel gutted having to describe 'Warrior' as a flop as I really do adore that song. Less so 'I Can Be' despite both songs finishing 19th. My biggest regret is sending 'Erase You' purely because I thought it would do well, and I completely bombed because of it. :drama: :lol:
July 24, 201212 yr Tbh I think Drunk is my best. Still to this day cannot comprehend that floppage. :( Drunk is actually a little bit incredible. bj taste WOT
July 24, 201212 yr Oh I agree. Drunk was one of the best things in that contest, and that's no small feat considering it was one of the better contests I've seen. I'd have given it points if I'd been taking part, the intro espesh is incredible.
