January 25, 200916 yr I don't think you can be upset if a song flops, when I sent Flo I knew perfectly well she didn't stand a chance in hell of making the top ten but I did know that she was my favorite artist at the time and that she would reflect my musical tastes in the competition - if everyone sent a sogn they thought could win then we'd end up with everyone enterring the same scandi fem pop every single time. I don't expect The Good Natured to make the top ten either, but I'm certain I will intoduce her to a few people who might like her just a fraction as much as I do which is 100% worth it!
January 25, 200916 yr :heehee: a fine looking top two :heart: and merci pour la douze points yes get on with it, start the BJSCXIV proceedings! at least I can now be sure that it won't clash with Melodifestivalen, which I had been worrying about :heehee: Oh goodness I hadn't thought of that! To be fair I'll be spending a long time in Stansted airport on the Sunday night so it would have been a good way to fill some time :P Edited January 25, 200916 yr by Peter30
January 25, 200916 yr Wow!!! I've been reading on the edge of my seat for about an hour!! Thanks for the votage people, and for restoring my faith in Swedish pop music in the contest. So glad FSR Rontvia finished 2nd as well :) Woohoo! Time to start running things properly around here :P well done mate ^_^ but only 7 points! :o :lol:
January 25, 200916 yr well done mate ^_^ but only 7 points! :o :lol: Is that what you meant by the crafty remark? :o

January 25, 200916 yr Is that what you meant by the crafty remark? :o :whistle: maaybe I'm honestly so happy Agnes did it though mate, dare I say she'll be taking Maggie B's crown as the Queen of BJSC ^_^ Now open the Green Room so I can plug The Good Natured already! :lol:
January 25, 200916 yr Oh goodness I hadn't thought of that! To be fair I'll be spending a long time in Stansted airport on the Sunday night so it would have been a good way to fill some time :P why, when's your flight over, early morning? it's just that MF is in what? 6 weeks, which wouldn't have been an impossible gap by BJSC standards, but I know you won't make it clash :P
January 25, 200916 yr A question (and yeah, I know the answer is probably somewhere easily to be found), can we use in this competition songs from countries' semifinals (ESC that is) that didn't make it?
January 25, 200916 yr Tyron - the record of the largest lead hasn't been broken: 1. BJSCVII - 42 (or so) 2. BJSCV - 32 3. BJSCXIII - 30 :P
January 25, 200916 yr A question (and yeah, I know the answer is probably somewhere easily to be found), can we use in this competition songs from countries' semifinals (ESC that is) that didn't make it? As far as i'm concerned - now we can't use the songs only from Melodifestivalen & UK Final entries. I'm considering Finland/Romania atm :kink:

I can't say I was over the moon when Headhunted flopped after being the favourite, or Miss Blue missed the final by 1 point, because I absolutely adored both of those songs...so it's natural to be a little upset if something you love flops, surely :o
January 25, 200916 yr why, when's your flight over, early morning? it's just that MF is in what? 6 weeks, which wouldn't have been an impossible gap by BJSC standards, but I know you won't make it clash :P My flight back to Belfast isn't until Monday morning.
January 25, 200916 yr did u find ur back-up for XIV because...u already won lol What an appalling attitude to have! I said that 2009 would be the year of Herzebania, and I stand by that. I've won once, and I fully intend to win several times more I'm still crossing my fingers for one of your artists :(

I've won once, and I fully intend to win several times more I'm still crossing my fingers for one of your artists :( well TBH the one that u consider its really one of my faves aswell...im sure we will work it out somehow.
January 25, 200916 yr As far as i'm concerned - now we can't use the songs only from Melodifestivalen & UK Final entries. I'm considering Finland/Romania atm :kink: Well, that is a silly rule since you can use worldwide hits if you like. There is such a small minority even on BJ following Melodifestivalen so why on earth it is prohibited to use Melodifestivalen final songs? I'd like to use a Melodifestivalen finalist from a few years back as my next entry but I cannot do that but I can enter Kelly Clarkson's new song that everyone knows and not a Melodifestivalen song that probably only a few would know. Stupid rulezzzzz.
January 25, 200916 yr My flight back to Belfast isn't until Monday morning. oh right, I don't think people would appreciate the final at 1-4am in the morning :rofl: I'm going in my car so I can just drive home straight away :P

January 25, 200916 yr Author As far as i'm concerned - now we can't use the songs only from Melodifestivalen & UK Final entries. I'm considering Finland/Romania atm :kink: No, no NO. We have never said it was only from the final - Melodifestivalen, Irish NF and UK NF tracks are ALL banned, regardless of whether they're in the final or not. Although this year the UK thing is irrelevant due to the way we're doing it :lol:

I'd have felt worse if I'd enterred a song that even I didn't like but which I'd thought would do well and that had failed to qualify
