Yeah I did kind of figure that. It's why I was subtly pushing during the Best Of Contest for this one be as close to Christmas as possible because I've had this entry planned since around September :( The best I could do was just leave it until the very last minute to confirm it.

 

To be honest I don't have very high expectations of it qualifying, but I just get anxious when I hear no feedback whatsoever about it, as if people are just skipping over it when they see the word Christmas -_-

 

Especially after I put so much effort into making the video :(

 

Oh well Herzebania's fortunes will change dramatically in 2009!!

 

Don't worry, I think you did a great job on the video, very christmassy and cheerful ^_^

Especially after I put so much effort into making the video :(

 

I noticed this, all those film and music video clips! it must have taken you hours :lol: I usually send album tracks/unreleased song and have to upload videos but Vincent's song has already had 1.5 million odd views!

Oh my...that Christmas song of yours would probably score very high for me :o

I think Herzebania seems to be my favourite country in terms of entries

 

Pity i'm not in your semi -_-

Got to say surprised at some of the odds in SF2 - feel that a few of the favourites are very derivative. The middle batch of songs in the odds are much stronger.

I wouldn't be surprised if any of my bottom 3 odds qualify though ;)

I'm guessing that that's odds to win SF1 Harve, otherwise you'd lose a hell of a lot of money :P

i think you're a good fave to win the whole thing Trash :heehee:

Ceknet are now offering full odds for the twelfth contest ;o

 

The following are my favourites to win, and I think it's very likely that the winner will be one of these eight countries - if not victory, then certainly in contention for top five:

 

5/1 Angelicland: Emilia De Poret - Pick Me Up

6/1 KopeÄka: La Roux – Quicksand

6/1 Kylienips: Lisa Mitchell - Neopolitan Dreams

8/1 Botanikka: Darin; Kat DeLuna - Breathing Your Love

8/1 MdiÄe: Frankmusic - 3 Little Words

8/1 United States of Jack: Jessie Malakouti - Trash Me

10/1 Sangria: t.A.T.u - Fly On The Wall

12/1 Quotosibb: Little Boots - Stuck On Repeat

 

The following songs are in with a good chance of winning, but I think top ten is more likely for these countries:

 

14/1 B.a.N.G: Santogold - Say Aha

14/1 Bokia: Britney Spears - Shattered Glass

16/1 Ashton: Red Blooded Women - You Made Your Bed

16/1 FSR Rontvia: Vincent - Miss Blue

18/1 Simondly: Brandy - Long Distance

20/1 Inner Massivia: Leona Lewis - Fool

20/1 Kellyana Kingdom: Marina and the Diamonds - Mowgli's Road

20/1 Torchwood: Lesley Roy - I'm Gone I'm Going

22/1 Rivandia: Architecture in Helsinki - That Beep

 

The following songs are the outsiders - some of these odds will likely be slashed loads if they qualify, but otherwise the majority of these songs will go mid-table IMO if they qualify:

 

24/1 JRK-off: Trina - Single Again

25/1 Lorikeet: Kelly Osbourne - One Word

25/1 Nonsuch: Lisa Miskovsky - Still Alive

28/1 Kathaldazia: Louise Carver - Impossible Love

50/1 Allecian: Kellie Pickler - I Wonder

50/1 Republic of Tron: Paddy Kelly - When You Sleep

50/1 Skall: Franz Ferdinand - Ulysses

66/1 Ojnoj: Gavin Mikhail – Brave

 

I don't see the following qualifying:

 

75/1 Iceyland: Bad English - When I See Your Smile

75/1 Juranabaijan: Feeder - Sweet 16

75/1 Utopia: LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends

 

There's more chance of Rivandia voting than these songs winning :kink:

 

100/1 Bhangra: Boney M – Rasputin

250/1 Tapatilandia: Panda - Narcisista Por Excelencia

500/1 Hitanya: Little Shop Of Horrors - Skid Row

i think you're a good fave to win the whole thing Trash :heehee:

And god it'd be an overdue victory :(

And god it'd be an overdue victory :(

 

But uber deservedness :wub:

La Roux FTW! :w00t:

Thanks for some decent odds :P

 

Let's hope I can translate it into a qualification...

I think it's definitely your best chance of qualification to date ;o If it qualifies, I reckon somewhere around 11-20th beckons, which'll be good considering your current record :lol: I think your first aim is to qualify and your second aim is not to flop! ^_^

I remain unconvinced by the odds for One Word, am I the only one who thinks i actually have a good chance of top 10. LOL.

I reckon that One Word definitely has a good chance of equalling Dumb, and could possibly go top ten...but with all the stand-out entries in the contest I reckon Kelly will have a tough time of it!

 

I can't see her finishing outside the top twenty though ^_^

I hope I do atleast finish ahead of some of those songs. And Feeder. :(

I hope I do atleast finish ahead of some of those songs. And Feeder. :(

I do as well, but I really can't see it qualifying :cry: It's Ara Batur all over again...

I'm guessing that that's odds to win SF1 Harve, otherwise you'd lose a hell of a lot of money :P

Yes :P

 

i think you're a good fave to win the whole thing Trash :heehee:

I'm not so sure until i've heard SF2.

 

Ceknet are now offering full odds for the twelfth contest ;o

14/1 Bokia: Britney Spears - Shattered Glass

50/1 Skall: Franz Ferdinand - Ulysses

75/1 Juranabaijan: Feeder - Sweet 16

75/1 Utopia: LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends

100/1 Bhangra: Boney M – Rasputin

250/1 Tapatilandia: Panda - Narcisista Por Excelencia

500/1 Hitanya: Little Shop Of Horrors - Skid Row

I think i'd put money on Skid Row qualifying. Obviously it probably won't but i think the odds should be shortened down from 500/1

 

I hope I do atleast finish ahead of some of those songs. And Feeder. :(

 

Just out of interest...do you hope you beat Feeder, or hope yourself and Feeder do well :lol: (I hope it's the latter ;))

The latter.... ^_^
