Should I have faith? Is it a good day for me? Maybe I’ll just be stuck looking at satellites…

The song has definitely grown on me - it helps that it has a singing section

Is it weird to find Ginge attractive? Asking for a friend

I have a 33% qualification rate….. Do I win for the pop failures?!

Are the results tonight? Need a pick me up. Unless of course I’m last! But based on listen through comments I’m hopeful for a top 10 finish

#robbed!

Ready for our penultimate contest :)

Congrats Rich. The song was definitely a grower for me :)

Thanks all - looks like I’ve got my next entry picked out then!

In a way it’s kind of nice watching knowing you ain’t getting any points!

Some of these results need to change or I’m prepping another rant!!!!

I always do my votes as a series of eliminations - normally 3/4 per round until I get my final set

I always vote late but aren’t I an A type?

Good to see the host off of zero

Trying to figure out who would contend for the win Foster The People or Fiona Apple?

Votes sent :)

100% this. I was sooo confused when it kept getting NQ predictions, but did put it down to male vocals

Lol touché Although we rarely point each other! I'm talking about people I have chucked points at with nothing in return! Thanks for responding though. Think I am just being paranoid

Defo think Elëdan could be a dark horse

BJSC people - I have a question. And please tell me if I am being paranoid. I do not look at who sent what songs until I submit my votes. I've maintained this throughout my time in BJSC. From my votes received back, I can definitely see some nations who share a similar taste in music. I also have some nations who have been more generous to me than I have to them. I also have a group of nations who have never given me anything/next to nothing (in semi finals or finals) - I have 3 nations who I have given a combined total of 238 final points to & in response over semi finals/finals I have received 0 points from. Is this just a coincidence or should I be worried that I've pissed people off? (possibly beyond repair)

Sorry I never came back to you GD. Thanks for the comments, they mean a lot. I am going to get to my 20th contest and see how I feel :)
