Nah I'm not for it. It's altering history, and could even produce a hypothetical different winner for XXXI which would open up a whole other can of worms. Just let it be, it's the most successful nations of the year based on what has ACTUALLY happened, not made up stuff. Besides, come the end of the year when we've had at least 10 contests, the effect of the first one of the year will be minimal.

Let me guess, would Kopecka do a bit better under that system? :P I don't see anybody rushing to make these alterations to the overall scoreboard...

:lol: So true :P

A wedding and a major birthday? It isn't too much of a stretch to believe, surely.

Oh come on it's right there Tyron stop being difficult :lol:

ALSO, the one time that Kopecka won with Herzebania in the contest was also my joint worst result (Monica)!!

:lol: I like this pattern!

Also, yes I suppose it could have been a little bit more subtle than a batch of 5 twelves at the end, seeing as the gap was so small in the end, but I'm certainly not complaining!! :lol: It makes a change from starting off in the lead and then plummeting down the leader board! No reason it can't happen in reverse I suppose! I didn't think for a moment that Charice would win, although I did get the feeling it wasn't going to be any of the top five at the halfway mark, seeing at the indie voters were all suspiciously together at the start :P

Although on the other hand, one could say that a win for them is long overdue. However now I think the moment has well and truly passed.

Yayyyy!!! :party2: At the risk of sounding like that little twirp Ronan, thank you so much to everyone who voted! Hits, what a brilliant contest and what an exciting set of results! Ten votes before the end I was resigning myself to YET ANOTHER 17th place finish :lol: It feels great to have won such a good quality contest, with so many great discoveries this month. I do feel like it's a bit undeserved since Louder was such a last minute entry, and not one I was behind nearly as much as Release Me! But still, it feels good to finally get a 2nd win! :D As for hosting, give me a day or two...I'll think about it.

Ooooof!! How tense!!!!!!

I really hope it's Eledan if not Charice...

WOW!!! Just so y'all know, I won't be hosting!! :lol:

:o :o :o :o :o

My goodness!! :lol:

AHA now we're talking!!!!

Thanks John!

Oh right, I read in the other thread that everybody in the final had voted, which I mistakenly assumed meant everyone.

I must have missed something...I thought everyone had got their votes in, so how come there are only 39 votes being announced?

Oh goodness, the top two are one of my favourites and one of my least favourites!

I do recall Teardrops by Helena Paparizou leading up to the halfway mark :angry:

Phew! Finally caught up! Thanks for all of Herzebania's points so far, I'm OK with my middle-table position...at least I didn't start off top five and then plummet as I always seem to do!

Herzebania has voted. It was alot easier than I thought it would be.

Well that's obviously bull$h!t since an instrumental, by definition, has the lead vocal, ie. the melody REMOVED.

I'm with you on that one Jark...clearly there weren't THAT many great, unmissable songs if there are only 11 on Volume 1... :mellow: As for Popular it's a good solid pop song but FFS it's hardly the second coming!!!! Neither is he for that matter.
