YAY for Los Camp! :wub: It seems this is a contest of risks and cheapness...and Saint Etienne :drama:

 

which is a mixture of risk and cheapness, being a hit technically, yet not as cheap as some of the other confirmed entries...

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

True, it seems odd how the contest went from 26 to 20 to 27 entrants. Is there a reason for this? I would have dvertised the contest if there were so few entries that month. I could have decided to join two contests earlier. :drama:

I wouldn't say it's that risky, it sounds like a better version of a song that finished 9th in this contest.

Since when did top 75 count as a hit? :o I thought it was top 40 for a hit...

I have no idea, but V was when the first odds thread was made and Rich did advertise it quite a bit...

Love me, love me, love me :kink:

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.

 

shall we say that they are, FSR Rontvia always win or come 2nd in the semis :heehee:

according to 'The Official Charts Company', top 75 is a 'hit' and is therefore featured in Guiness/Virgin books and on Polyhex :w00t:

indeed, I went all out to make sure that V was a success, putting links everywhere and of course my banner in my sig :wub: I didn't want another final with 20, IV was so boring, even though I won :kink:

It was almost a sleepwalker of a semi, and no offence to him, but David didn't put much effort into IV did he? :heehee: Then again, nobody really cared THAT much back then...and I think I put a few people off with my artist ban proposition, hence the lapse in popularity after II :kink:

Well, I'm sure Saint Etienne will rest easy at nights knowing they've totted up another hit :heehee:

Ah yes, I think it was Rich that led me to join with his sig but I was too late for V. I think there was a bit of an argument at the end of the results or something. :unsure:

 

Exactly, this contest just gets tougher.

Yes, let's split every contest into two separate contests. :lol: I wonder who the master of the semi finals is? :o

no not really, I didn't even care that much to be honest...I only started caring when I had to care, because I had to host the thing :P I completely didn't expect to win, I thought Love Song would come mid-table. I tried to get BJSC back on track in V because it looked like it was dying...the first thing I ensured I would do was a recap vid at least :kink:

 

ah yes, the infamous 'let's ban Rihanna and Britney etc... clause' didn't really have a wave of support did it :heehee:

Well, I'm sure Saint Etienne will rest easy at nights knowing they've totted up another hit :heehee:

 

I was going to buy their Best Of today but didn't have time...will get it tomorrow though :D

that was the end of VIII which had the argument, which I also hosted, Aceofbasegate where Botannikka and Kylienips were fighting over Ace Of Base, Botannikka didn't vote until half way through the live results and I refused to accept the votes because they were 18 hours past the deadline and could have easily been influenced by the way the results had been going

 

although it's all water under the bridge now of course, we have all got over it :D the only thing I mucked up in V was that I forgot to add 7 points from someone to Rontvia to my final score and had to amed the scoreboard before the end...although seeing as I was the only country affected by it, nobody else noticed :heehee:

I think there was something in V as it was before I joined, but it probably wasn't an argument, just someone complaining about a bad result that I didn't understand as an outsider. :lol:

:doh: :hithead:

 

anyway my votes werent influent at all...I had my votes saved into my pc and I just shooted to you without checking the live results...but in the end I saw that my votes could have made a different winner :kink:

oh :o I'd have to go back through the thread to see what it was...I was too stressed with the results to remember, I had literally done no prep work whatsoever hence the mistakes :heehee:

shame they didn't come in on time then, although Nonsuch wouldn't have been happy with the outcome had I decided to except them :arrr: of course there was no way of me knowing that you had done them a while before you sent them to me :P I did feel sorry for the country who would have won though but deadlines are deadlines :snif:

Maybe I'm just remembering it wrong. :lol:

 

Hmm...September is released physically on March 9th now according to HMV. :kink: I'm gutted I hadn't heard it sooner as I love it but it's incredibly old for everyone else. (a bit like my first Swedish entry :lol:)

common it was my fault and not yours...u did a great job for not accepting it...I would do the same...but that time I was mean for no reason and I promise that wont happen again anymore...and this contest just became a part of my life...I really appreciate whoever came with this idea :wub:
