Tell me about it! I was randomly blog searching for the first time and came across a write up with a link to his myspace. I didn't think i'd like it being male and all but i was shocked. I :wub: it.

 

I forgot miss Torrini was Icelandic.

 

Haffi Haff was in the Icelandic NF in 2008 with a different song. Something i found out after i'd ripped the audio :heehee:

 

lucky you didn't accidentally send his 2008 NF entry :lol: imagine if it happened by accident and nobody noticed!?! I know I wouldn't notice, I don't follow the Icelandic selections

I didn't think it was as good as GMS, which imo could be my best entry in quite a while.

Country: Ben's Sanctuary

Artist: Obel

Song: Just So

Youtube:

 

If the video is not available in the UK, here is the song to listen to (at least I hope you can listen to it :lol:):

I have to agree actually for 3 reasons

 

1) it's very risky :cheer:

2) it's a male :o

3) it's brilliant :wub:

 

I suddenly have a huge respect for countries like Rivandia and Utopia who always send obscure songs unlikely to do well, purely because they love them! I'm going to aim to be more like that from now on I think...it is the reason I joined the contest in the first place after all! I can't believe I got so carried away with how well I was doing in scoreboards etc...:lol:

It's been soooooo long since i last had a good result i figured it was time to change something.

 

Switching to a male seemed like a perfect experiment.

 

and thank you :wub: i hope it'll do well, better than my last couple of entrys.

 

 

- Puretone was too safe, and safe didn't exactly pay off last time.

nothing wrong with an experiment...better to fail with something risky, knowing that at least you'd given it a good try (e.g. Mira/Vincent) than to succeed with something safe (e.g. Sibel) :lol:

Indeed, but those 2 fails were epic songs :wub:

I liked them :lol: I would have been really annoyed if I'd DNQ'd with something 'safe', like a straightforward fem-pop song

 

to fail with a ridiculous chant from a Norwegian oddity and a falsetto male Swedish singer was a shame, but was easier to understand why people didn't like them, even if they are up there with my favourite Rontvian entries

Mira was so far removed from safe it was unreal lol.

 

She was an odd-ball and a half. But i loved her to bits. I have noticed a very scandipop influence in my music taste recently thanks to this contest, and i love it ^_^

 

Risks FTW :cheer:

 

My fave entries are Haffi Haff, RBW - Colour Me Dirty, Lily Allen - The Fear and Lorelei Carlson - Alone :heart:

I was just going to tell that it's a 2008 ESC Icelandic NF artist. :heehee: I wish Aaron won't boycott it now :(

Just listened the clip of Anthonio chez Popjustice, and on reflection I'm glad I stuck with Nexx, it's great but it's not as instant (I don't think?)

I know lol

 

but the song is brand new and is in no way connected to the Icelandic NF so Aaron should not be boycotting it.

 

Plus imo it's better than the NF song anyway

 

what does you think of ze track?

tbh Nexx are the sexx :kink:

one will send 'the sex' your way just the now.

 

obv in return for a bit of nexx innit

Aaron has given us all a change regardless of whether we have changed in the other thread or not.

Correct, I felt people might want to leave or maybe go for something a bit different. Plus, the people who changed to a NF songs from their initial entry NEEDED to change anyway. But another reason is that I hadn't been taking note of everyone who switched it up in the first place.

 

Question, have you changed your country name now?

 

Country: Ben's Sanctuary

Artist: Obel

Song: Just So

Youtube:

 

If the video is not available in the UK, here is the song to listen to (at least I hope you can listen to it :lol:):

Unfortunately, neither of those videos work in the UK. :( If you know how to make a video, ou might have to upoad it yourself, or ask someone who can.

 

but the song is brand new and is in no way connected to the Icelandic NF so Aaron should not be boycotting it.

Precisely. As I've said before, I don't care if you send artists who have been in NFs with another song. (Nobody Without You/We Keep On Rockin'/Release Me/Sorry etc. anyone?) I've already said I quite like Tone and I was glad Jerick decided to go with another song of hers, why would this be any different? other than him being male and I give very few males anything

I randomly became Republique d'Ashton a while back but it never caught on.

 

It's kinda my full title, Ashton will surfice however.

 

It managed to convert me into sending it so it has some form of power

u should name ur country Republique d'Ashton insteed of Ashton ^_^ it sounds cool :lol:
