February 23, 200916 yr Still haven't listened to semi 2. I might wait to see what qualifies first. Listened to and scored out of 10 (like Rich) my semi though, and will probably send my scores later tonight.
February 23, 200916 yr I've done nine countries :D My weird scoring system once again producing close results :P 12.0 11.5 10.0 9.5 9.0 9.0 8.5 8.5 8.0
February 23, 200916 yr I still have to listen to the songs, I like to listen to both semis out of curiousity, but both semis are over 80 minutes of listening this time. :o In the end, I only had 9/47 songs on my iTunes already, including my own.

February 23, 200916 yr I gave 9 or 10 points to all of my top 10. Well, 9.5 in one case. I just have to order the 9s now... I'm not going to lie there were a few surprises!
February 23, 200916 yr wowser! Amazing word :wub:. Chips Challenge :wub: http://newsimg.ngfiles.com/35000/35742_Untitled.jpg 1989 graphics ftw :kink: Sorry for the off topicness. I would say something relevant if i could think of something :heehee:
February 23, 200916 yr for me it was 19/47! I suppose the contest entries are slightly more geared towards your tastes. Tere are probably another 5 songs I had heard of but had been too lazy to download. But it turns out that I only had about one or two more entries than usual and one of those was the Kelly Clarkson track which was freshly leaked. Maybe I'm just getting behind on music. :lol:

February 23, 200916 yr OMG you just brought back a huge childhood memory :wub: I know its simply amazing. Its a childhood memory for me and also a teenage memory and will be an adult memory i'm sure :heart:
February 23, 200916 yr right, I've whittled my songs down to ten but don't really know how to differentiate them as I have five 9's and five 8.5's...no 9.5's or 10's unfortunately though, I expect my overall favourite (and the overall winner) is in semi 1
February 23, 200916 yr ive been only once in semi 1 :lol:...anyway all of my faves are in semi 1, which it makes very easy for me to vote is semi 2 :)...and Enrique looks the cheapest entry in semi 2 :heehee: and all countries who dont give votes to cheap entries are in semi 2 :nocheer: Good luck to everyone :dance: what a big false statement I made :heehee: seriously, I felt sorry for 6 songs that couldnt get my votes.
February 23, 200916 yr done and dusted! here were the Rontvian stats for semi-final 2: 5 9/10's 7 8.5/10's (two of which I sadly couldn't vote for) 5 8/10's 1 7.5/10 2 6.5/10's 1 6/10 1 5.5/10
February 23, 200916 yr I'm just wondering, I'm not the only person who doesn't work out their votes through scoring am I? What I do is as I listen to each song I add them to a list and decide after each song I listen to where the song goes in the list. (kinda ordering them as I go along) It's just everyone seems to give them points, that doesn't really work for me as I'd probably have tons of ties everywhere and it just doesn't work for me. :P

February 23, 200916 yr Right my votes are in. I just hope I did them right, I asked Peter for a PM to confirm...

(kinda ordering them as I go along) It's just everyone seems to give them points, that doesn't really work for me as I'd probably have tons of ties everywhere and it just doesn't work for me. :P trust me, I have used many different systems over the history of the BJSC, this is just my current one I rank every song out of ten, with half marks allowed, and the songs that I deem to be cheap fall to the bottom of that rating pack, so a ten out of ten song, no matter how cheap it is, will get points from FSR Rontvia, because 10/10 songs are rarities in the BJSC, maybe 1 or 2 per contest maximum! Firstly I rate every song out of ten, then the ten with highest marks go through to contend for my votes...any songs with an intital mark of 7/10 or more get another listen from me, I only instantly discard the really awful songs after one listen...then I'm usually left with around 15 songs after the first cull (all of the 9.5's, 9s and 8.5's usually)...it is then with these ties that my 'cheap songs go to the bottom of that pack' rule kicks in to determine which songs get my highest points... so I'm not as such deducting any points whatsoever from the cheap songs, they are just looked at less favourably than songs that are new to me which I have rated on par with them in the past I used to instantly discard all cheap songs, which in BJSCVI led me to the oddity of me not giving any points whatsoever to my favourite song of all time (Simondly: N-Trance - Set You Free), and this is when I realised that I needed to change my voting system!

I usually listen to the songs in my semi twice (once if I just know it wont grow) and then elimnate the songs that I thought were weakest. Then I maybe pick a few songs I just know I will vote for (like in the spin-off I didn't have to listen to "Shoulda Woulda Coulda" any more to know it would get my 12 :P) and then listen to the remaining songs a few more times until I can narrow it down to 10 songs. So usually the songs I listen to most are the ones getting 1-5 or no points. :lol: As for ranking them, I just go with what feels right, my votes usually change order from when I go to send them to when I actually do.
February 23, 200916 yr I'll be posting the SF2 recap in a minute.... Cool, I'll check that out and see what grabs me :)
February 23, 200916 yr Oh what hell that would be! :lol: :mellow: - Joke, I'm sure the album is FABulous ^_^ it's pretty good rather a inoffensive album
