Slightly off topic here but I thought people were allowed to enter what THEY wanted? :unsure:

Its *suppose* to be a song contest though. Surely you're suppose to vote on the basis of how much you like the song and not on how well known the song or artist is.....

two birds, one stone:

 

The contest is about discovering new music. Cheaper entries have always been discouraged, it's even in the rules and has been since I that this contest is first and foremost about new music you wouldn't have otherwise heard.

 

Who won't have heard Forever Is Over in 2weeks time? from the UK

 

Leona is one of the years most anticipated comebacks, the track will be a worldwide hit. Nobody will be discovering new music by having it entered.

 

 

The occasional cheap entry is tolerable, but contests like XIV and this one arent as fun. A lot of people are hear to discover new music and have a bit of fun at the same time.

 

That's why i'm here. Some of my favourite tracks i wouldn't know if it wasn't for BJSC. That is what it is supposed to be about.

 

Discovering things like Smack Me, and Red Blooded Women. Not ranking next months new releases. The Chart forum, your personal charts and the Multichart are for that.

of course but people get different pleasures (for the want of a better word :lol:) from this contest, for a number of us it's the aspect of discovering new music we wouldn't find elsewhere so it's only natural that people moan if suddenly one month you've already heard most of the stuff in the contest already.. Bleeding Love is generally regarded as one of the songs of the decade so by rights, if it was sent to BJSC by someone, it should be a runaway winner, but it would make a TERRIBLE winner of the contest even if musically it was the best song there :lol: I guess in my head there are unwritten rules of what makes a good BJSC entry, some songs I wouldn't even consider sending no matter how much I liked them, i.e. Madonna's Celebration :rofl: but obviously people are entitled to their own opinions on the matter and clashes of opinion are bound to occur on a forum of 50+ people all with their own minds...

If you mentio Madonna, how odd people are sending Lady GaGa, Saturdays, Girls Aloud or La Roux, but not Madonna :o

I agree partly on this basis.

A song contest is more based on different things, isn't it?

 

Or me, at least, looks at:

 

1. How good the song is

2. How much I like it

3. How big of a discovery it is to me

Is someone doing something similar btw? Or just from one of these..? :)

 

no I'm quite similar too, I will always favour new discoveries as they're fresher in my mind...if it's a song I already knew before then chances are that I'm already over it such is my short attention span :heehee: Stay The Night was an exception seeing as it's the song that never gets old :w00t:

Is sending something you know will do really, really good in this contest.. a cheap act?

 

If so, then most of us could at some time be guilty of that one.. I guess..

Hmm? I don't get you. :(

 

We do it from time to time yes but surely not everybody (me for example :kink: )

 

OK then Pavel, in the final i'll just vote on the basis of which artist has the best name for their song. And just wont bother listening to the songs. OK?

That's what i do anyway :D

Argh! Forgot about X-Factor :drama: Guess I'll check in for the results later. Good luck to everyone :cheer:

I think what people are scared of is this contest turning into a UK future release schedule contest, with people only sending those kind of songs because they know it will do well.

 

basically yes, I don't get this need to do well really

 

I haven't even thought about 'how will this finish' since about BJSCX and my first DNQ :snif: I only ever send a song I'm absolutely in love with now regardless of what other people might think of it, i.e. Example, Hafdis Huld, Blank feat Young Ivy :lol: Anna Abreu is currently No.1 in my chart :wub:

If you mentio Madonna, how odd people are sending Lady GaGa, Saturdays, Girls Aloud or La Roux, but not Madonna :o

 

I wouldn't be adverse to somebody sending Madonna, if it was a new demo or unheard song, but not her new single :lol:

basically yes, I don't get this need to do well really

seconded.

 

Risks FTW is the way forward to be honest.

I was thinking a couple of times sending her, but not with her new song. Some old but really good song from her.

basically yes, I don't get this need to do well really

I can see the temptation to be honest. People who keep DNQ after sending songs that most people havent heard start seeing others qualifying with cheaper entries, just makes them wanna join the party. Heck I certainly did. People wanna qualify at the end of the day, and songs that are considered "cheap", are almost always guaranteed to qualify regardless of how they do in the final. If I had sent Jade, it would definitely qualify and finish inside the top5 at least. I mean I do love the song, and I know people who send other "cheap" entries love their entries too, but it just makes everyone else wanna start searching for other cheap songs to guarantee a qualify. It would turn the contest into the battle of the big releases ;)

gomg i just discovered something trashy and amazing. :wub:

It must be Millionaires.
