September 12, 200915 yr My main source is Myspace [RBW, LA-I Don't Know, CT, Lorelei] It was my iTunes for a while [babes, Gabby C, Mutya, Laura C] Youtube is on the up for me though recently, Boys Will Be Boys appeared as a recommendation on the homepage, i came across Nevio/Cilmi while looking for a different Cilmi track :lol: Only Haffi came from a blog :o I really hope RBW make it, and Colour Me Dirty gets to hit the top spot :wub: Love that track so so so much Talking of seeing Ashvia entries on TV i saw Example on MTVDance just the other day :w00t: Still love it :wub: I had Boys Will Be Boys on my youtube front page earlier too, didn't watch it though as I assumed it was a dodgy cover of the Ordinary Boys track, which I now gather it's not :heehee: my main XXI contender is apparently being used by KoS (:() but I still have a couple of other songs that I'd like to send :D

September 12, 200915 yr Most definitely not :lol: it's worth a listen. I'm sure you'll come up with the goods. Thinking about that and the 12 battle that i've just had to decide [hardest 12battle ever] i wonder how many 12's Rontvia has gotten from me :unsure:
September 12, 200915 yr I'd be quite happy to race you for them? :lol: I'm sure you have plenty of great songs lined up though :P no, as long as they are in the contest one way or the other I'm not bothered, they don't have to be representing Rontvia! You'd better send them though, if you choose something else when I've already confirmed a different song then I shall be quite upset :heehee: I have two other songs, so I guess I'll pick one of those instead! I expect the artist we're fighting over is a surefire top ten though, it's very very very catchy! :wub:
September 12, 200915 yr I still personally think Hendinia & Zechonia, especially the latter, are the biggest dark horses. :w00t: Can't wait for my first ever final. :D Too bad I probably won't be there live tomorrow. :P
September 12, 200915 yr Author :cry: Haffi's flop was expected, but the rest.... :snif: You seem to be forgetting that there's not only pure pop lovers in this contest and some people don't like this genre all the time. That's why I'd say.
September 12, 200915 yr hence why I always skip from one genre to the next, even I get sick of too much pop :heehee: Blank, Example and Emiliana were perfect remedies :wub:
September 12, 200915 yr You seem to be forgetting that there's not only pure pop lovers in this contest and some people don't like this genre all the time. That's why I'd say. I'm saying that the flops that i've had weren't expected and i wasn't expecting them to be so big. Like Nevio/Cilmi DNQing, i thought that would at least qualify. I never thought they'd do overly well, but i thought CT would be 7th-12th as opposed to 23rd. I'm on about my expectations of the tracks, i didn't expect Haffi to do that well, so wasn't too surprised when he came 23rd.

I'm on about my expectations of the tracks, i didn't expect Haffi to do that well, so wasn't too surprised when he came 23rd. The half-foreign language track. What did you want?! :lol: A male. The main rule if you want to do (or not) well: send an electro/pop female artist/group, if you don't want to go to the level of Lorikeet then go for a male and ONLY THEN go with a foreign language song. The inevitable flop, especially with an obscure/not that popular artist.
September 12, 200915 yr my entries often surprise me... I expected Delta, Natasha, Sibel, Mira, Vincent and Hafdis to do better than they did, particularly Delta and Mira I expected Sara, Maria and Mira, Sanna, The Sound of Arrows, Uh Huh Her, Emiliana Torrini and Blank feat Young Ivy to do a lot worse than they did and was very very pleased with the finishing positions of all of these Andreas Johnson, Untouched, Thermostatic, Pixie, Beautiful Small Machines and Example all did about as well as expected...when I heard Robots In Love for the first time it struck me as a 'winning song' so I'm glad it lived up to my very high expectation for it :heehee:
September 12, 200915 yr Author I always predict my entries do bad and I'm only surprised when some do well. :lol:
September 12, 200915 yr Author I'm sure you must have expected the inevitable top 2 finish for Shakira :o Please, Shakira is like one of the most famous personalities in the whole world, no way it'd have flopped anyway, i knew it'd do well, i just always doubt in my entries' potential. It's my cheapest and my least favourite entry (yes :( ) to-date. I regret i'd sent it.
September 12, 200915 yr Author We appreciate the 7 cases of twelves given to us in that contest (even Silly Boy got less) of course :wub:
September 12, 200915 yr during the course of the contest I think the song went 49-10-1 in my chart :lol: talk about a grower!
September 12, 200915 yr The half-foreign language track. What did you want?! :lol: A male.

The inevitable flop, especially with an obscure/not that popular artist. I was hoping Cilmi's english would make up for the italian male given that she'd finished top10 twice for Ashton before :heehee: I knew it'd be a massive risk sending it, but i was soooooo close to qualifying. It made DNQing hurt that little bit more We've got our own little plans and routes. We made the choice to switch from known names to unknowns, and we aren't going back just for results sake. Eventually i'll come across a formula that works again. IV-XI i got the formula spot on everytime apart from X. So we'll just see where i finish this time and next.
September 12, 200915 yr Anyone liking the album version of Here We Go Again or is it just me? :dance: It's a bit nicer, fresh sound compared to the demo we're all used to hearing.
September 13, 200915 yr yes I do, but I prefer the album version of Turn It Up, which seems to have acquired a new part towards the end :wub: I still think The Fall would have been a better name for it though
