Did it? Hmm, I guess a bit of interest ^_^

 

Does anyone actually like Sneaky Sound System then? :cheer:

 

I like them though it wasn't my favourite potential entry of yours. Not that I can remember what was...

 

I must admit I haven't really had chance to go right through this thread yet. I don't think there's been much Alcazar buzz either though :(

Trash, go with St Etienne :D

 

No one ever comments on my entries :(

 

I've stopped giving other people advice, because I've listened to others before and have ended up regreting it.

 

I think the best thing to do is enter the song you love the most rather than the song you think will do best. (Of course I won't be saying that if Marina & The Diamonds fails to reach the final of BJSC XIV).

 

But if it was my call I'd enter Saint Etienne.

 

And Matt I like the Sneaky Sound System quite a lot

 

 

I have a question, after midnight tonight can we use any act not listed here? I am thinking about using an act that has been confirmed in the reservation thread but not here and it says there all reservations will expire tonight midnight so are all tracks free after that even if the nation has said they have confirmed it in the other thread but not here?

I once knew a man, he drew a pitcure of a million faces and all of them were sad :(

 

Country: Kingdom of Shadow

Artist: The Good Natured

official confirmation - no turning back! :o

 

Ok, since this act wasn't confirmed by the deadline when the reservations expired I will use it then. Hopefully it is ok by everyone.

 

Country: Land Of Jack

Artist: Danny

Song: All On You

Thank you! I love yours too, I didn't know Enrique was making a comeback, so it was an excitement!

Right, I've decided to swallow my pride and go with it - leaving me in a rather amusing situation which hasn't happened before where my entire personal chart top 3 is made up of BJSC XIV entries before the contest has even started, with Love etc., Untouched and this song inside it...

 

Country: Kopečka

Artist: Saint Etienne

Song: Method of Modern Love

#58 FTW! :w00t:

YAY for Los Camp! :wub: It seems this is a contest of risks and cheapness...and Saint Etienne :drama:
my god Trashsson, there is a clear best song in those 4 and that song is by Saint Etienne :P :wub:

 

of course, you run the risk of it being tarnished by the fact that it was a #58 smash hit and will be three weeks old by the time the contest comes around! I'm getting bored of In For The Kill now :snif:

I'm quite bored of it as well, and it hasn't even entered my chart :lol:

 

Country: Nonsuch

Artist: Marina & The Diamonds

Song: The Shampain Sleeper

Roll on late May when this track produced by Pascal Gabriel is scheduled (subject to change) to be her first "full" release (unless this Welsh-Greek singer comes up with something better prior to the album release in June on 679 Records (Current Album Working title: "I Was A Teen Age Prom Queen"))

:heart: Marina And The Diamonds. Still to get into the song tho. :(

Los Campesinos! 'Ways To Make It Through The Wall'

OH MY GOD. I LOVE UTOPIA.

I'll be interested to hear the Los Campensinos! song, I think one of theirs came on a Last.FM station I was listening to once and it was quite good. I havent heard anything else from them though.

 

40 confirmed entries so far is amazing, though having all these countries in a contest where I'm not confident in any of my potential ideas can only be a bad thing.

 

I think if we get 46, or more, entries it might be an idea to have 3 small semis, rather than two large ones. It's rather possible that 46 could happen as Quotosibb, Simondly, MKL, FSR Farahtyn, Kellyana Kingdom, Frahliso and Skall are possible/likely entries. I guess it depends what works best. Is it better to have large semis which take longer to listen to, but you have more choice and will probably be happy to give 10 songs points? or are smaller semis better as it wont take long to listen, but with only 15-ish songs in each semi you may struggle to find 10 good songs?

 

In the past we've had a semi of 12 songs, but we've also had one of 24 songs, so both extremes have been used. Though I guess the thing about the earlier contests is that everyone voted in one semi, while this would further split up the entries.

4am for you is 2pm down under.

 

middle of the day ^_^

I'm talking about my aunt when she comes over here and gets up at silly times :P

Nooooooo, we're avoiding three semis as it rather complicates qualification - forces us into multiples of three rather than two. We're fine for semis until we get 25 to a semi (with 2 autoqualifiers and 13 qualifiers for each semi), so that's up to 52 participants, and at a stretch we're good for 28 to a semi, but once we get past 58 countries we'll have to take action. I don't see that happening for a while anyway. We don't have to start thinking about this until we crack 50 at least methinks...

I guess so, I didn't realise we already had 22 in semis for XII. I just think it gets a bit stupid when the semi finals are only a few songs shorter than the actual final, it's like the semis are becoming contests in themselves. Especially since we have IV in the history of the contest.

Everyone knows that IV is the stat-breaker contest, destined to forever remain an anomalous mark on every statistic, as you well know :(
