No worries usually the forum preferences are set to stop overly wide sigs. Anyway bring on the contest!

I have the same problem - your signatures are too wide. Any chance of shrinking them down a bit? Otherwise Peter has to scroll across and then back again for every single post he wants to read or check (really there should be a forum width limit set on sigs).

Inner Massivia New Music Melody Express Final anticipation Professor Sir Quintas de Cancellara, President of Inner Massivia, has expressed his excitement at tonight's BJSC XIV Final in Herzebania. In an interview with the Inner Massivia Herald Tribune he said: "Despite the shock of not qualifying with the brilliant Nikki, my enthusiasm for the Final and the BJSC competition as a concept has not been diminished. I'll be eagerly glued to the live satellite coverage on IMTV in the Presidential Palace with special guest Little Boots who we hope to have representing Inner Massivia in BJSC XV. I'm hoping for a win by one of the top three from our voting, interestingly three countries who have never received a single point from us previously."

Inner Massivia have now voted.

Is the deadline really tonight? What happened to Sunday deadlines ...... *eek*

Of course! Still in shock though at Nikki missing out - I had two tracks of hers I was deliberating on entering and thought both would make top 10 in the final. The other is much more in the Sara Bareilles mold so I might return with that for BJSC XVI by which time everyone will be Nikki fans. Anyway I know Little Boots has been entered before so might be considered on the cheap side by some, but there's still no sign of an album so I thought sod it, I love Mathematics with a passion and it deserves an entry into the BJSC.

After the failure of Nikki with Bring Me Down to qualify for BJSC XIV, Inner Massivia's Ministry of Popular Music has swung into action and contracted the brilliant Little Boots for BJSC XV with her song Mathematics: oSHd2h_bPKI

After the shock failure of Nikki to qualify from SF2 in BJSC XIV, Inner Massivia resolve not to be downhearted and have immediately contracted the divine Little Boots to sing Mathematics at BJSC XV.

Inner Massivia are gutted not to qualify with Nikki. If there wasn't a rule against it we'd re-enter it next month to allow voters to rectify their clearly horrible mistake ;)

Inner Massivia have now voted. Guest head juror Lulu was on hand live by satellite from the Chart Club in the Alt Markt, Attacktonia to pass on our warm greetings to the happy people of Herzebania and communicate the points for our top ten songs. The Inner Massivia Press Association News (IMPAN) reported Lulu as saying: "The Inner Massivia jurors on a whole were a bit disappointed with the overall quality of SF2. Too many generic dance songs which after a while merge into one long mash-up. We struggled to find more than six songs across the semi-final capable of generating any enthusiasm. Despite that we did think there were two brilliant entries and a third intriguing one we thought would improve on repeated listens and might get higher points from us in the final if it qualifies. So in the end we had something to Shout about!"

Yes I am. Sampling is taking a portion of a song, melding it with your own ideas and making something which is greater than the sum of the two. Lady Sovereign has just ripped off The Cure on a huge scale. Couldn't think of a quirky melody so lifted one. That's neither sampling nor innovative. It's an insult to compare this latest song with some of the greatest samplers out there.

Think our Nikki could do well for Inner Massivia if people get away from the hype surrounding the cheap entries and start listening to the lesser known songs. Think it has a real Pink/Kelly Clarkson vibe to it.

Absolutely loved that - brilliantly done. Sat to see Lady Sovereign's completey innovative new sound is already being ripped off by desperate indie bands: p3hdytcAUjI -3 on the hype factor.

Like Pink? Like Kelly Clarkson? Prefer to vote for non-cheap entries? Vote Inner Massivia and Nikki! Country: Inner Massivia Artist: Nikki Song: Bring Me Down t3NYfmWo0Qg

Tried searching for the info but couldn't find it. Anyone know what the shortest chart run is for a number 1 album (Top 40 or 75)? Noticed the White Lies spent just 3 weeks in the top 40 with "To Lose My Life", that must be close to some sort of record?

After four contests, Inner Massivia's voting record in finals is as follows: Torchwood 17 (3 appearances; 8 highest pts) Angelicland 15 (2; 10) Quotosibb 14 (2; 7) Herzebania 12 (2; 10) Utopia 12 Eledan 12 Kingdom of Shadow 12 Dalisska 12 Ojnoj 10 Botanikka 10 Nonsuch 9 (2; 5) Kathaldazia 9 (2; 8) FSR Rontvia 9 (2; 7) Ashton 8 Lorikeet 8 Cadbury 7 Hendinia 6 (2; 4) Juranabaijan 6 Bhangra 6 Kylienips 6 BaNG 5 Mdiče 5 Tapatilandia 4 FNR Tinnmark 4 Sangria 3 FSR Farahtyn 3 MKL 3 Rivandia 2 Kopečka 1 Simondly 1 JRK-off 1 Stats 31 different countries have received votes out of a theoretical maximum of 40. 4 countries have received 12 pts, all in their only appearance in the IM top 10 (Utopia, Eledan, Kingdom Of Shadow, Dalisska) 12 different countries have filled a top 3 position out of a theoretical maximum possible of 12. 8 countries have been voted for at least twice, with Torchwood the only country to receive votes three times.

Thought you did a brilliant job of hosting, just think it's a dog of a song which badly rips off a classic. Jamelia's done much better stuff.

That Nikki song is superb - part Pink, part Kelly Clarkson. Really glad someone entered it as it's a definite 12 pointer.

We would like to confirm: Country: Inner Massivia Artist: Nikki Song: Bring Me Down Youtube: t3NYfmWo0Qg

Well done Hendinia and thanks James for hosting - you did a great job. Big surprise to see Pink win - love her stuff but find U and Ur Hand bland so really surprised to see it do well, though it seems many people liked it coming into the competition. Biggest disappointment? Jamelia's dog of a song qualifying for the final let alone finishing in the top 25. I'm still denying the fact it made the top 3.

Inner Massivia have now voted - sorry for the delay, meant to vote Friday but got waylaid and yesterday was always likely to be a no go so had to be today. Btw some very good songs overall. #10 really is the new #1.

Inner Massivia would like to add Nikki to the reserved list. Currently deciding between: t3NYfmWo0Qg and Q8UPxawBNX4

Not a bad guess, 6 out of the bottom 7 in my odds failed to qualify Nonsuch bucking the trend at the expense of Herzbania.

Qualified at last! :w00t: Thanks for the votes! Also good to see all ten songs I voted for qualified for the final.
