July 16, 200916 yr I just don't see who's going to vote for it unfortunately :( Would that be your worst result (in the final obv :P) or did some of your early performances 'out-do' it?
July 16, 200916 yr Delta got 46 and Thermostatic got 49, but both finished top 20 (just)... not that I'm bothered of course as I was fully aware that this song was unlikely to have a huge fanbase on BJSC, it's more of a Rontvian entry diversifier and seeing as it's pre-qualified to the final I have nothing to lose...in fact I'm starting to think that the 'hosts curse' is due to the often riskier entries submitted by the hosts (due to pre-qualification) with the obvious exceptions of VV Brown (who is very BJSC friendly, proved by past form) and Cyndi Lauper, who was a real anomaly - not a typically BJSC friendly song, but a pleasantly surprising huge hit on here... Into The Nightlife is moreso the sort of entry I'd have expected Land Of Jack to finish 21st with, so for it do so well was brilliant and a complete shock looking back
July 16, 200916 yr I have to say NASA did come only as a result of going for the risk :lol: I realised what my perfect host entry would be yesterday but I've just forgotten it! :( Was it MYNX, Miike Snow or something else? :/ *thinks out loud*
July 16, 200916 yr Oh yes, that was it! :lol: My host entry would be John ME - Love Is My Drug (studio version, not the hideous live one I posted :P)...
July 16, 200916 yr I have to say NASA did come only as a result of going for the risk :lol: I realised what my perfect host entry would be yesterday but I've just forgotten it! :( Was it MYNX, Miike Snow or something else? :/ *thinks out loud* I do love taking risks but let's be fair, they do flop 90% of the time (Headhunted, Snalla Snalla, Gifted, Nevio/Cilmi) :snif: My only risk that really did any damage was I'm Going For Your Brother, which although you say is BJ friendly, it's not exactly the type of thing usually featuring in the top ten in a final and I definitely saw it going nowhere, Electric Valentine would have been much safer, but much less satisfying had it done well
July 16, 200916 yr Oh yes, that was it! :lol: My host entry would be John ME - Love Is My Drug (studio version, not the hideous live one I posted :P)... see I do actually love the studio version (it's on a compilation I have from Sweden), but that version you posted with Amanda Jenssen was indeed terrible I reckon that would be an easy top ten male finish actually which is not something I can say about many songs :o
July 16, 200916 yr Oh, don't get me wrong, I wasn't saying Blank/Young Ivy was BJ-friendly, but it wasn't as BJ-unfriendly as you made out :P I always thought it would be the dark horse that would go top ten...
July 16, 200916 yr Oh, don't get me wrong, I wasn't saying Blank/Young Ivy was BJ-friendly, but it wasn't as BJ-unfriendly as you made out :P I always thought it would be the dark horse that would go top ten... it definitely had it's BJSC friendly appeal but I was almost certain that either Blank's husky vocals, or Young Ivy's rap would put people off it, or it would just be a bit too odd to do well
July 16, 200916 yr I just don't see who's going to vote for it unfortunately :( Would that be your worst result (in the final obv :P) or did some of your early performances 'out-do' it? Serebro somehow came limped in at 17th... I learnt my lesson though, because I sent it purely to get a good result... Didn't you want to send it but I beat you to the reservation? Count yourself lucky :lol:
July 18, 200915 yr I do love taking risks but let's be fair, they do flop 90% of the time (Headhunted, Snalla Snalla, Gifted, Nevio/Cilmi) :snif: My only risk that really did any damage was I'm Going For Your Brother, which although you say is BJ friendly, it's not exactly the type of thing usually featuring in the top ten in a final and I definitely saw it going nowhere, Electric Valentine would have been much safer, but much less satisfying had it done well In all fairness Gifted was utter $h!te tho. Looks like mid-table for me ^_^ I'm happy with that, Delta was a bit of a risk. Not Nevio/Cilmi style risk, but a risk none the less.
July 18, 200915 yr I think I'm in for the midtable too, early odds and predictions had me as low top 10, but the momentum seems to have slipped
