January 17, 200916 yr I do have the #1 video at the top for a reason Rich! :lol: And Mdice's songs are, as you said, 'sacred arias', so it's no surprise that they get a little more attention :P I scrolled right past it, I just assumed it was one of those 'image collage videos', I didn't even know the official video was out yet... that Mdice comment is so true though, they are so known for their high quality entries that they are always one of the most anticipated confirmations...perhaps their absence is why BJSCVIII was seen as forgettable :heehee: shame that awful Japanese song ruined their stunning string of entries though :( and that Clea song was quite un-Mdice to be fair even though I love it :heehee:
January 17, 200916 yr Author I scrolled right past it, I just assumed it was one of those 'image collage videos', I didn't even know the official video was out yet... that Mdice comment is so true though, they are so known for their high quality entries that they are always one of the most anticipated confirmations...perhaps their absence is why BJSCVIII was seen as forgettable :heehee: shame that awful Japanese song ruined their stunning string of entries though :( and that Clea song was quite un-Mdice to be fair even though I love it :heehee: The original of Exodus '04 is GORGEOUS. I suggest you YooToob it :o They have had some stunning entries though...and I would agree with your VIII theory, but I also think the fact that the contest was setting up to be VERY cheap in the opening weeks didn't help either... And the official video has been available for a good few months, what with Canada and Aus needing videos too :P
January 17, 200916 yr Author La Roux :D Yes, I have quite gone off it :( 7 weeks at number one does that, as I'm sure you'll find out :kink:
January 17, 200916 yr Possibly, but I'll never tell :drama: Thanks for commenting ^_^ :lol: you're welcome ^_^

January 18, 200916 yr Author really, what did Ben send then, a remix? I should remember, I hosted that contest :heehee: It was embarrassingly cheap, the problem is that all of the cheap entries did well, Lily Allen, Alphabeat, Gabriella Cilmi for example whilst the risks like Thermostatic and Little Boots flopped (I know you think it was a success but in the grand scheme of the entries sent, Meddle really should have come top ten :heehee:) Usually it's the other way round with the unknowns at the top and the cheapness at the bottom/stuck in the semis :o He sent the Double J remix I think...the original is divine :wub: VIII I think is the cheapest contest we've had post-Untouched, in results and entries; it's been deservedly forgotten IMO, especially as the big unknown results-wise was a song from 2004! :lol: Well, that and Little Jackie, which is no longer a big unknown :( Meddle really should've come top ten, I think I sent it too early in 2008 before electropop became BJ's new fetish... Thank you Nick, RK and FM ^_^
