March 1, 200916 yr Who cares if the songs cheap? Doesn't stop the song being good LOL. I'M ENTERRING UMBRELLA NEXT TIME YAH
March 1, 200916 yr Oh i see, but tbh, the song has flopped hardcore on release.... basically, youre saying that because buzzjack likes it it's cheap? So Agnes was cheap? Or most winners? Sorry but i disagree with this. had Agnes been given TV airplay, had a UK release, then flopped, then been sent to BJSC, then I would have said it was cheap but the fact is that most people were introduced to Release Me via the contest, of all of the songs in the final, over half I had heard before the contest, this never ever happens, it's usually 5-7 that I have already heard so for me in that respect, it's not the most exciting final I will have ever taken part in, just because I'm not discovering a great deal of new music from it, which is the main reason I take part in BJSC
March 1, 200916 yr M83 got through! Thanks everyone. :wub: Excellent to see Imogen through as well - great choice Rob!
March 1, 200916 yr People are being so obnoxious with this whole 'cheap' thing this contest tbh. Anything that charts in the multichart is cheap? I mean honestly... If any song that has been known before this contest is cheap then around 70% of these entries are cheap as I knew of 33 of them before this contest... It's clear that cheapness is such a made up concept. Pet Shop Boys didn't go through yet they're probably going to get the most success out of any of the songs entered bar Love Story...it's clear people vote on what they like and not what is more popular...if your entry didn't get through yet wasn't known before hand, maybe it's because it simply didn't appeal to people? Very pleased to see Imogen / M83 / Kelis go through.

March 1, 200916 yr Only a small number of us follow these rules. :drama: Cheap can't be abandoned completely :P But still a lot of people here don't have time and don't follow the schedule of every new release...hence this time I knew only 14 songs out of 47 :o...so for me it was a new discovery to 33 songs...personally its one of the best contest that I participated.
March 1, 200916 yr If I can't wait for the semi-final non-qualifiers results tonight, will this thread be still viewable tomorrow, so I can see it? Thank you.
March 1, 200916 yr Check out the Tinnmarkian entry for BJSC XV Maria Mena - Power Trip Ballad sxYgUAoqmXM
March 1, 200916 yr Whut. I was defending your entry. LOL i know. Sorry, i'm not down with this whole forum lingo :blush:
March 1, 200916 yr I have no problem with cheap entries at all. Send what you want, I don't give a damn. But I won't complain that entries are cheap, then vote for them, and then complain that it's a cheap final. I don't understand how that logic works. :unsure:
March 1, 200916 yr Amy Studt and Rihanna aren't cheap at all. The majority haven't heard these songs. And artist fan bases don't really play a factor at all imo it's mainly the genre and quality of the song. 'Taylor Swift Love Story' a song that #2 this week on the Uk chart and 'Kelis Trick Me' a former top 10 hit, are some people thinking this is a spin off contest when entering songs like these. .?
March 1, 200916 yr So glad my 12 pointer made it through. Disappointed to see Remi and Dondria miss out, and extremely shocked that Pet Shop Boys didnt make it, even if I'm not a fan. Also, massive well done to Nick, MKL and Ojnoj :) Oooh...and no Tom in the final :o Will have to double check but I don't think my 12 did. And it's not exactly true there was no Tom in the final :teresa: (Sorry Tom :cry: )

Trick Me is an epic song. :wub: Who cares where it charted. JESUS THIS CONTEST IS HEADACHE-WORTHY.
March 1, 200916 yr Who cares if the songs cheap? Doesn't stop the song being good LOL. I'M ENTERRING UMBRELLA NEXT TIME YAH Yeah, but surely you see that a contest full of Umbrellas doesn't really serve much point? :/ People already know that Umbrella et al are popular, you don't really achieve anything by entering them and doing well...you only stand to make a loss tbh :/

There's your Umbrellas and your songs that people brand cheap that REALLY arent... the only 'Umbrella' in this contest is 'Love Story'... i dont think anything else is overly cheap. It's like Ben said, if cheap is defined as songs we've heard before then my GOD, we all need to have a serious rethink before entering XV
