H8ers to the left pls thnx :P 'Black Or White' is a fantastic pop song imo. Being part of the MTV generation, when the music video premiered in late 1991 *.* I'd rather have the video to 'Black Or White' over the flashy high budget but bleh 'Scream' video.

Well, at least Jedward didn't make the cut. :D Was hoping for a little bit of "HEY, it's Chico time" for the LOLZ. :kink:

It's a wonderful track (one of the few highlights from SF2 imo) and I genuinely think you're gonna do well with this.

Really hope 'F For You' keeps climbing up. :D That's the one track I'm keeping track of right now (well, 'True Love' by Pink is already top 20 so doubt it'll peak much higher on iTunes now).

'The Way You Make Me Feel' is sheer brilliance, love the song. :D From the remaining, I'd really like to see 'Black Or White' win. Have to admit, I'm very surprised that 'Dirty Diana' is in the top 8. :o

Congrats John :D ...but yeah, got to agree with Chezy it wasn't among my fave tracks. :(

James Arthur is a billion times better than Jahmene will ever be. Ever. :lol: Without even hearing his new single, I'm already certain it'll be better the entire album of covers that Jahmene has released. Considering how dire last years X Factor was, it's a wonder they somehow managed to get a good winner. The massive success of 'Impossible' across Europe/Australasia suggests that J-Art is going to be massive when he returns later in the year.

Agree with Jonjo, wasn't expecting much from the video (just typical boyband video stuff) but that opening scene is brilliant. :lol: As for the song, it's better than 'OWOA(TK)' so it's an improvement on their last single. Still, Avicii for #1 again. :kink:

With album sales so crap, Jahmene Butcher is going to be #1 with his album 'Nicole Says I'm Jah-Mazing So She Must Be Right'. :no: His cover of 'Titanium' is woeful and removes everything that makes the David Guetta original so brilliant. Hurry up James Arthur, we need to sort out this mess. :D

I think it could well have been a case of wrong semi. Looking at those in SF2, 'Bad Boys Cry' might well've fared much better there and qualified comfortably over a small handful of others (knowing Liam's luck it might've been Unovia that would've missed out so he should maybe be thankful you weren't in SF2 :lol: )

To think I was initially going to debut with The Sounds 'Better Off Dead' before changing my mind when I discovered 'Riverside' in Denmark's top 40. Doubt 'BOD' would've provided a debut win so at least at the time I made the right decision.

...and for that I'm thankful. 'Video Games' remains my absolute best discovery in BJSC with Woodkid 'Run Boy Run' just narrowly behind. :wub: Mikey has had a couple of "could've been" BJSC hits but I reckon with Thomas Azier, this could be Kylienips biggest BJSC hit since Sky Ferreira.

Yeah, I think Thomas Azier could very well provide Kylienips with a top 10 placing in the final.

Beat Connection *.* 'In The Water' was a great track and iirc, you lost out because you never voted in the semi final and would've gone through as you had the most voters (think 3 songs all ended up on 34 points each). Oh yes, Batidas are firmly behind the next Persephonian entry. :D

There's another dance track on YouTube that uses the exact same vocals. TVQVXXyVbXI Can't say I consider either as being an anthem sadly. :( The Mark Lower track by far has the better backing track though.

My DNQ votes: 12 pts = 10 pts = 08 pts = 07 pts = 06 pts = 05 pts = 04 pts = 03 pts = 02 pts = 01 pts = FSR Rontvia: Mark Lower - Bad Boys Cry So all in all an excellent set of results for SF1. As for FSR Rontvia, they were practically neck and neck with my 11th place song and had I voted for that song, I would've had a 10/10 strike rate going into the final. The thing that lets down 'Bad Boys Cry' are the weak vocals on the track. With better vocals, it'd probably be an absolute anthem. On a seperate note, delighted for Anise K getting through and a special mention to my 12 pointer. :wub:

+5 Avicii · 'Wake Me Up' +4 John Newman · 'Love Me Again' +3 Icona Pop ft. Charli XCX · 'I Love It' +2 Robin Thicke Ft. TI & Pharrell Williams · 'Blurred Lines' +1 Passenger · 'Let Her Go' -1 Will.I.Am · 'Bang Bang' -2 Selena Gomez · 'Come & Get It' -3 Sebastian Ingrosso, Tommy Trash & John Martin · 'Reload' -4 Naughty Boy ft. Sam Smith · 'La La La' -5 Breach · 'Jack'

Oh I'll be really surprised if Kylienips don't qualify.

Well, surely your DNQ bad luck is going to run out eventually (kinda like opposite to Aeroche & FSR Rontvia getting a DNQ after so many successful contests in the final). Tonight could be when you buck the trend.

Unless, like me, you've already voted (just to ensure my votes are in before I completely forget :D ).

Sorry Ben but I have to agree with Kath. It's one of the tracks in SF2 that left me wondering "where is the song?" It ain't no Young Galaxy that's for sure. :(
