Posted January 17, 200916 yr just interested, as the official stats thread so overwhelmingly states that all of our winners are female, I wondered what the actual ratio of people sending female to male acts is, and also as a side point, where do your acts come from, again just out of interest to see where we are sourcing our talent from :P here is Rontvia's stats for these: Gender: Female solo artists: 7 (Delta, Natasha, Sara, Sibel, Sanna, Mira and Pixie) Female duos/groups: 1 (Maria & Mira) Male solo artists: 2 (Andreas & Vicent) Male duos/groups: 1 (The Sound Of Arrows) Mixed duos/groups: 2 (Untouched & Thermostatic) Ratio Rontvia sends female acts: 61.5% of the time Rontvia sends male acts: 23% of the time Rontvia sends mixed gender acts: 15.4% of the time this is a bit low on the male side considering I probably listen to male acts to female acts in reality at a ratio of about 40%/60% so I should really send more males to the competition... Nationality Swedish: 6 (Andreas, Sibel, Thermostatic, Sanna, Vincent, The Sound Of Arrows) Norwegian: 2 (Maria & Mira, Mira) British: 3 (Pixie, Untouched and possibly Natasha) Australian: 1 (Delta) American: 1 (Sara Bareilles) New Zealand: 1 (possibly Natasha depending on if you consider her British or from New Zealand) oh dear...perhaps people are right about too many Swedes, I forgot Thermostatic were from there too :rofl: I must go American again, it was my only win :o
January 17, 200916 yr Quotosibb's stats: Gender: Female Solo Artists: 7 (Beverley Knight, Estelle, Sara Bareilles, Santogold, M.I.A, Robyn, Little Boots) Female Duos/Groups: 0 Male Solo Artists: 0 Male Duos/Groups: 0 Mixed Duos/Groups: 1 (A. R. Rahman & M.I.A.) Ratio: Quotosibb sends female acts: 87.5% of the time Quotosibb sends male acts: 0% of the time Quotosibb sends mixed gender acts: 12.5% of the time Oh dear, if I wanted to be really desperate to work males into my acts I could say that Jools Holland was on piano on Beverley Knight's entry and Robyn was a Christian Falk production and he is usually credited for it. This is the first time I've sent a song with male vocals on it so if that fails I know where I'm going back to. :lol: Nationality: British: 4 (Beverley Knight, Estelle, Little Boots and probably M.I.A.) American: 2 (Santogold, Sara Bareilles) Swedish: 1 (Robyn) Indian: 1 (A. R. Rahman) Sri Lankan Tamil: 1 (possibly M.I.A.) I'm not particularly surprised that I've sent more British artists, I'm not usually that adventurous with my entries.
