:lol: I still can't remember who introduced this term to us (Trashlexmas i guess :unsure: )

 

I still don't know when untouched was :blink:

BJSC VI. I think post-Bev is a much better term. It was quite obviously Beverley Knight winning that made the contest grow. :kink:

 

I've just listened to my 7 entries and they're well good innit. :smoke: (off-topic, but you gotta love a bit of big-headed-ness)

not as good as mine -_-

 

I think Bev kicked off something special which peaked at Dame Maggie - It's down hill from now on :lol:

Post-Untouched doesn't refer in any way to people liking or disliking Smack Me

 

it's because interest in the contest had been flagging after V and we were going to have a long break whilst Eurovision was on...which may well have made a lot of people forget about the contest altogether

 

but then I discovered this Untouched song and asked if we could bring the contest forward because I was desperate to send this song...which quickly reignited interest in the contest with many new countries joining up for XI, which led to stuff like The Green Room, Odds Threads, general heightening of discussion/interest etc..., much of which may not have happened if we had left it any longer...it was fate :o

 

Pre-Untouched refers to 'the time when few people cared' whilst post Untouched refers to 'the time when everyone cared' :heehee:

 

even I didn't have that much interest in the first three contests and if I'd flopped with Love Song I probably would have pulled out

oh I see - Ha! that means I've been around pre-Untouched :yahoo:

 

Oh and we are of course forever greatful for your eagerness to prove how great you are ^_^

Nuh-uh, mine are all 12 worthy and well...you know how many points I've given you. -_-

 

Agreed, at least until I can win again. Never gonna happen though, I try to hard to find a good song that'll qualify and I didn't try with Bev at all. If only I joined this sooner, it was easier to qualify back then.

'Tis the gospel truth...we had even announced (I think...if we hadn't then we were on the verge of doing so) that contests would've been changed to happen only once every two months. Untouched/Rich saved us all! :heehee: The worst thing was, if we announced that they were going to be bi-monthly, I don't actually remember anyone caring :rofl:

although Rontvia is seen as 'so June 2008' by some sources and is looking to remind people this month that we don't like to miss the final :cry:

absolutely...I wouldn't have cared particularly at that point had it gone bi-monthly...but people at that point thought that we were doing them too frequently and needed longer breaks between each one

 

nowadays, 6 weeks between contests seems like a lifetime :o

 

Of course BJSC VI is the turn around contest in terms of Green Rooms, rivalries, discussion etc. but I don't really see it as the saviour contest. Most of the new countries were probably as a result of it being Eurovision time. I knew about this forum since it was made, but I didn't start here until Eurovision time this year as I was in the forum, so I paid attention to the sub-forum. I would assume Herzebania and Dalisska were similar as they both like Eurovision. I think Sangria and Dulpaen were the other new countries and one of them joined because I told him. :lol: Not sure how much moving it forward made tbh...

shh! (Rich is still clinging to his saviour status after failing to qualify for 2 of the last 3 contests :lol: )

Only by Emilia, and she ended up sixth anyway :kink: I'm shocked at how close my prediction for her participation in MF turned out to be :rofl:

I'm not pretending to be the saviour of the contest...I'm just saying that a lot of things slotted into place because of Smack Me :P I'm sure stuff like odds threads/green rooms etc... would have come later, but there may not have been enough people left in the contest to care judging by how quickly people were losing interest by BJSCV

 

I'm disappointed that of the two contests I hosted, V wasn't seen as much of a classic and VIII was seen as forgettable :cry: I'd love to host a contest with 45 countries but I can't see it happening any time soon

Emilia of Big Big World fame is much better than De Poret anyway :P

Look for an artist the same way you found Pixie :P

 

BTW, I've found an AMAZING duo - Lili & Susie. Far too dated to be entered into the BJSC, but I thought you might enjoy :kink:

try Bhangra with that duo :heehee:

 

Pixie didn't win :cry:

Yes, but she came damn close :o

 

Have you considered sending Hadise? Stir Me Up seems pretty BJ-friendly...

I thought there was an odds thread for V? I seem to remember someone saying t.A.T.u. were low on the odds once... :unsure: I can't remember who, but wasn't it Peter or Sabrewulf who suggested a Green Room? Could be the new blood having good ideas. :kink: I guess I can't speak for the situation before VI but I would have joined whether VI was before or after Eurovision.

 

I may have hosted one of the more memorable contests, in terms of entries, but I'm probably equally disapppointed at hosting VII than you are at either of yours. It's not as fun when the winner is so obvious. I'd have loved to host something like X.

Yes, but she came damn close :o

no, I haven't considered that :P

 

Pixie was maybe too much of a grower to win...this contest takes something instant I think

you're right actually...there was odds for V...

 

but Green Room definitely kick started the discussion and I'm 90% sure that it was Sabrewulf or maybe Alexxx who started it...can't remember off hand though

 

X would have been fun to host, definitely, so wide open, I certainly didn't see a Brandy win on the cards...it's the only winner I haven't predicted correctly in the past 6 contests :o
