Wow, you really think so? :o I'm glad you feel that way! Thanks, I'm honored! As I came in here checking the results expecting to DNQ with Rachel, but to my suprise she actually qualified! I'm very happy with that! :wub: But I'm very gutted about these entries DNQ'ing, though! :( Inescapable and Let it go are two FANTASTIC pop songs and should've been in the final above at least most of the winnters, but seeing the final list I do feel that most of the most important entries came through overall.

I am hoping for all of my DNQ's this year to qualify (well, I do love them all!) but I'm unsure about the chances of Xelle and Mutine. Xelle attracted minimum attention and interest, and even if there are some who seems to love Mutine, I think the competition is too hard in BJSC L for that one to get anywhere. BUT I am a bit more positive when it comes to Manicanparty; as it had some fans in the other semi final as well. Although it may seem that my biggest chances of qualifying is through Orange Caramel especially! :wub: I should really have voted that time, but still it's one of my favourite entries this year! :heart:

I have nominated as well! :D Gave each contest a listen through the recaps, looked at my votes and made the necessary swaps and switches, which I seemed to have done in practically every contest! TBO gives me perspective on the year and there has been some very good contests throughout with my biggest favourites being primarily XLI and XLV + XLVI being joint second somehow! I thought maybe the reason why I loved XLI so much was because I actually hosted it, but some of the comments in here seems to express otherwise. I enjoyed hosting that one :wub: The contest I liked the least was XLIX.. but other than that I liked most of the contests this year. For a very long time now BJSC is where I discover the best music :wub:

Oh. It seems my recent few entries all have garnered some heated attention one way or the other. Yes, I was very unsure on what to send after my first choice of artist got taken, and I honestly didn't think 'Living it up' would be such a terribly misplaced entry in this. I hope it didn't create too much spirit of fluster and dissapoint as that was never my intention. I just hoped someone really liked my entry, and realistically speaking (13 votes is more than most entries got and just as much as the winner!) someone did and I did ended up at 17th place! So I'm happy for that at least, but I've done quite well in this competition overall so I am going to try harder next time, promise!

Wow, that was close! I managed to vote on time in the end, although I cannot say I was ecstatic about everyone's entries this time around. I usually like most of the music in this contest, but there was something oddly uninteresting overall now. My 20-pointer was a song I was thinking about entering myself, and I didn't discover that many in which I'll be continuing to listen to from here on out, but there were some and I do hope they do well! ^_^

Greenfroze has voted! Amazing 50th contest! :D

Oh, my entry actually recieves some love! :D :wub: I'm glad you made a decent discovery out of it, that makes me feel better about this even though I DNQ'ed. But thanks for you big support in the semi finals, though, Ben's Sanctuary! ^_^ It reminds me of that time way back when I gave your entry "Rock to the beat" a 12 and it didn't qualified as well :( *sigh* Edit: I've almost listened to all of the songs now, and the quality is IMMENSE! :o I miss Tinnmark and Zechonia in the final, but I'll probably have a difficult time voting nonetheless!

And here are the rest... :( :nocheer: 31 - Greenfroze - 405 32 - Persephonia - 396 33 - Scherzland - 341 34 - N DNTN - 337 35 - Isconia 305 36 - Bignia-Zaragovina - 288 37 - Skall - 280 38 - Farahtyn - 266 39 - Usfland - 252 40 - Land of Jack - 245 41 - Lake Thermwoods - 241 42 - Sangria - 236 43 - Budtar - 185 44 - ChrIseland - 177 45 - Fervorosia 164 46 - N-Lazone - 154 47 - B.a.N.G - 153 48 - Yuxhaaq 150 49 - Kingdom of Shadow - 142 50/51 - Sandebörg - 101 51/50 - Herzebania - 101 52 - Letland - 95 53 - Terra Avium - 89 54 - Ojnoj - 88 55 - Aquafina - 86 56/57 - Danaelanda - 81 57/56 - Juranabaijan - 81 58 - Lievant - 78 59/60 - UnoShake - 65 60/59 - Lorikeet 65 61 - Keypopian Republic - 63 62 - Dalisska 61 63 - Bellamia 57 64 - Hogan-Burg Republic - 26

So I'll let the scoreboard speak for itself as of now. Significant changes to the scoreboard worth a comment: Happenings in the TOP FIVE: Elëdan fell out of the poll and in a true, romantic way gives their seat among the elite top five to Hendinia who reclaims this position just like in 2009, 2010 AND 2011! A feat very few of us actually share! Imagine that! Countries with a big improvement since the last contest: There were no “big improvers” this time around, but two countries takes a walk 4 places up (to) the (galaxy) scoreboard. PRoJ and Séyetana, that is. While Kylienips is actually the biggest improver this time, which is never too late to happen, with an absolutely IMPRESSIVE 5 places of flight up the scoreboard! Countries with a big regression since the last contest: Only two countries are worth mentioning in this segment; Botanikka and #00274E… who falls 4 places downwards.. Other significant stuff: Unovia are now inside the top 30! :D Does these sort of things make you lose control? As it’s quite fabulous, isn’t it? And Greenfroze are now out of the top 30. And I know I don't look all that fabulous right now, but I’ll get my lipstick back on again! You’ll see!

Greenfroze has confirmed as well! I can't believe I found something so wonderful in such a short amount of time and so close to the deadline. It's definitely a different feel for my nation and a lovely choice of entry to celebrate the 50th BJSC!

Sorry for the delay with this. It's been a bit hectic, so I'll do this during the weekend! :D

OH NO! :( I had my voting message ready to go earlier today! And because I was writing a paper on japanese history with a deadline this evening I got heavily distracted and forgot to actually SEND IT! *drenches myself in dark and bottomless sorrow* :snif:

Oh no, I saw now how easily my sentence could be misinterpreted. I was in no way referring to your entry as annoying. My attempt was more of a (poor) reference to another name for "that time of month" :P Because here in Norway we might say something like "I'm getting a visit from Auntie Red".. errr.. which is like a bad occurance, just like a DNQ... etc. Hehe! :D ( So silly of me! :( *nervous laugh* :nocheer: )

:kink: :heehee: No problem! :D That would be incredible! ^_^ Whoops, missed your post! Well I think you can do it, actually :o I like updating this, so again it was no problem at all! :D

And here are the rest... :( 31 - Unovia - 344 32 - Scherzland - 341 33 - Persephonia - 324 34 - Isconia - 305 35 - Bignia-Zaragovina - 288 36 - Farahtyn - 266 37 - Land of Jack - 245 38 - Sangria - 236 39 - N DNTN - 220 40 - Lake Thermwoods - 193 41 - Usfland - 188 42 - Budtar - 185 43 - ChrIseland - 177 44 - Fervorosia 164 45 - Skall - 155 46 - N-Lazone - 154 47 - B.a.N.G - 153 48 - Yuxhaaq 150 49 - Kingdom of Shadow - 142 50/51 - Herzebania - 101 51/50 - Sandebörg - 101 52 - Letland - 95 53 - Terra Avium - 89 54 - Ojnoj - 88 55/56 - Danaelanda - 81 56/55 - Juranabaijan - 81 57 - Lievant - 78 58/59 - Lorikeet 65 59/58 - UnoShake - 65 60 - Keypopian Republic - 63 61 - Dalisska 61 62 - Bellamia 57 63 - Hogan-Burg Republic - 26 64 - Aquafina - 25

So I guess everything is starting to balance out and how you view the result table currently might be close to how everything officially ends up. Of course, a DNQ could potentially ruin everything, so nothing is set yet, naturally. Either way, a lot of epically giant changes should be quite rare at this point! So if you’re true potential to join the elites is still in you somewhere, now’s the time to bring it out! Significant changes to the scoreboard worth a comment: Happenings in the TOP FIVE: Ramrynia is heavily back in the game again after their last DNQ. They can safely dance to the same song saying “they’re now in the top three once again! OH-ooohOOOOOOH! OH-ooohOOOOOOH! Top-top-top-top three again, top three again! OH-ooohOOOOOOH! OH-ooohOOOOOOH! That-that-that-that’s just basic, basic bitches! OH-ooohOOOOOOH…“ ^_^ Countries with a big improvement since the last contest: Oh, Espen! När ditt vinnarblod pumpar I dig, så gör du det så bra! + 7 is what you’re gaining! Most of everyone, that is! And that is great, I’m saying! :D Countries with a big regression since last contest: Only two countries sort of “stand out” with a five place regression due to a DNQ. Why? Well Batidas and Allecian might've just gotten a visit from the annoying DJ blues this month. If you know what I mean... B-) Other significant stuff: Järkangel is now in the top 30 for the first time this year! Yeeaaaaaaah! Burn it dooooown! :w00t:

Oh, right, this is my BJSC area! I am a bit busy at the moment, though, but I'll try my best to finish this by the end of the week! :D

Greenfroze has voted as well! This semi had a lot of great songs in it, but it also had a lot of songs I didn't particularly care for, which is rare..

Thanks! :D

Just to confirm my suspicions; what's the time in UK right now? :unsure:

I have finally decided on my entry and confirmed, but I'm a wee bit unsure still. Am I allowed to change my entry if I want to? :unsure:

Oh no, oh no! I.. why wasn't I informed of this happening? :( I've done really well in this the past few contests and I really wanted to join in! :cry:
