Freeze

Really? I haven't heard it at all :drama: (But I only listen to P5, so that might explain it :P ) I am aware it's a popular song, I just haven't got round to listen to it yet. Looking forward to it, though ^_^ as I enjoyed 'Simon says' and 'Live tomorrow'! Is this song along the same lines? Btw, it should be XLII in your signature, there :kink:

Me too. Although I have been trying to find out when she was going to release a new single for some time now, and 'Aces high' was actually supposed to be released in January. Either way, she will be releasing more material in the near future, so there is no rush :D I'm just glad I opened my first thread in the Pop Forum, and look - it's about Mira Craig too! :cheer:

Perhaps, but I think it's perfectly placed in the song though, and as such a part of what makes the song so flawless :wub:

I'm sorry :P I intended to post this as soon as the music video popped up, but I just forgot! :(

They (Karmin is a duo :D ) are signed to a major record label, 'Crash your party' (almost 9 millions views on youtube currently) went top 40 in the US and their profil do seem to be rapidly gaining, yes. 730 000 views in less than a month withouth proper promotion is another indicator, but given they DNQ'ed last time and are not that well known in the UK (I presume) so I guess they probably don't need to be vetoed as such.

My DNQ votes! :nocheer: Malta – Olivia Lewis – Vertigo – 6 Ireland – Dervish – They can’t stop the spring – 4 Germany - Roger Cicero - Frauen regiern die welt - 3 FYR Macedonia – Karolina Gocheva – Mojot svet - 2 Portugal – Sabrina – Danca comigo - 1

Slovenia :wub: Can I reveal my DNQ votes?

I'm in the same semi final as you, although I haven't heard it yet. But I generally love K-pop, so there's a big chance you'll get my support! :D

I know these entries from before! ^_^ From semi 1: Aquafina ❖ Minnie-Oh • You And I ♫ Ashton ❖ Elen Levon • Like A Girl In Love ♫ Farahtyn ❖ Serebro • Mama Lover ♫ FYR Vojvodina-on-the-Wold ❖ Frida Hyvonen • Terribly Dark ♫ Greenfroze ❖ Xelle • Invincible ♫ Land Of Jack ❖ Karmin • Brokenhearted ♫ Numayania ❖ The Asteroids Galaxy Tour • Heart Attack ♫ Unovia ❖ Anjulie • Stand Behind The Music ♫ And from Semi 2: Budtar ✪ Ariana Grande • Put Your Hands Up ♫ ChrIseland ✪ Annah Mac • Girl In Stilettos ♫ Espen ✪ Jessie Ware • Running ♫ Séyetana ✪ Xenia • Sing You Home ♫ Not much, so I'm looking forward to my first listen through! :D I am wondering though; did you (the mods) consider vetoing Karmin? Did you talk about it? It just made me react slightly, as that song seems like a song that should be vetoed. No disrespect, as I don't intend to second guess your decision at all, and I know you discuss everything seriously and fair, I just mainly wonder if you talked about it and what your thoughts on it were?

Welcome! I Really like your country name! :wub:

I know Mira Craig has her fair share of haters, but I also know a lot of you love her as well! One of the reasons she has been away for such a long time (two years, last seen in MGP 2010) was that she felt hated by everyone and got depressed; she flopped in MGP and har previous album sold badly. Although her most important reason seems to be the birth of her son Mio Amioko. She is out with a new single at the moment, called 'Aces high'. This time she's diverted from her usual alternative Pop/RnB sound to the more organic Pop/Rock sound, and her new, fourth album ("See the light") is about epic tales from the cowboy era. 1ltzXBB17IU I like this, personally. It can feel a bit repetative at first, but at the end of the song it works! She still has that unique attitude in her voice, and I wonder if this style will work better for her. The music video is a bit chaotic and fussy, but works better in other parts where we can see the ice hotel they're filming in and Miras' good looks! Still hot :wub:

Even if everything seems to be deleted, there are ways of retrieving lost data; I once almost managed to delete all of my music files, but I remember someone telling me what's lost is just the information about the files' whereabouts - and not information about the file itself. Or something like that. Either way I downloaded a recovery program and that found and recovered everything I thought I had lost! ^_^

He didn't vote in the final last time, so he is not allowed to enter this contest :(

These are the official televotes from the public of Greenfroze: 127, 597 votes for The Boom Boom with It's not love (But I love it) 387, 188 votes for Sisse Marie and Kill for your love And finally.. 678 291 votes for Elen Levon and her song Like a girl in love

Hehe, you can just call me Nico! ^_^ @20 - I think it's fantastic that Nicki Minaj has gone more pop; I always thought that if she ever went that way PROPERLY, she should be an even bigger star.. like on the Britney Spears level :o I can't believe it. Nothing more you know and/or like from my chart? :o Not even 'Whoz that girl'? :( Thanks for checking in either way, though! ^_^ You too? I mean, five songs are more than usual, but I thought you liked more of the songs from UP. Ah well, thanks for commenting! ^_^

Okay, I will do that! ^_^ Well.. K-Pop does chart for me from time to time, though :D But after reviewing your chart I always seem to chart a lot more of them at the same time :lol: ^_^ Hello! @1 - I haven't yet! I'm unsure and afraid that I'm not going to like most of the songs on it :( I obviously LOVE 'Red hot' and 'Sailors', but that 'Darkest blue' track didn't do anything for me, sadly.. but do you know how the album is? If yes, is it more like 'Red hot' or 'Darkest blue'? :unsure: @2 - Oh I am absolutely certain that it will do a lot better! :cheer: @11 - Thank you! I am a bit unsure whether I should host the next contest or not, though. Naturally it is easier to host than BJSC, but I'm not that familiar with most of the participants in there, which was a great advantage when hosting BJSC - and it seems to be a great advantage when hosting UP as a lot of the comments seems to be based on personas. Thanks for replying another week! ^_^

@3 - I really hope she wins MF, because if she does she can SMASH in Eurovision! I just fear whatever Danny Saucedo send, he has a shot at winning as well, which would almost be predictable and uninspired given they sent Saade last year. @7 - His best work? Do you mean Lil wayne or Bruno Mars? If it's Lil Wayne, I definitely agree - although I can't say anything about that, as I'm generally unfamiliar with most of his songs. @16 - 'Black sunshine' is my favourite Neon Hitch track :wub: Have you heard that? And I like 'Stereo Hearts' more than this song, but it's still good for me! @20 - My rule is; if I like three songs A LOT from an artists album, then that artist deserves me buying their album - and then it's a big chance I'll discover more from them! @22 - Perhaps. I might give her a second chance, though. Obviously there is something unique about her that makes her this popular, but I'm wondering if it's only because of her voice, as her song style doesn't seem that unique :unsure: @41 - But you're a fan too, though? :D There are only three other songs in front of 'Honey and the bee' for me, which is ' Hot air balloon', 'Fireflies' and the glorious 'Strawberry avalanche' :wub: @59 - I'm not that gutted about it's placing in the final now, as I did win the previous contest, and the competition was indeed tough. I wish more people loved it the way I do, but some people discovered it, and that's what most important. I just love the song and since I PQ'ed it felt right to send it :wub: @60 - It's a shame J-Pop is this difficult to find; they would have so many more fans if it was more available. Again, thanks for sending them! :D @74 - Aaah, that explains why the song was so short compared to the others :thinking: Indeed I do! :cheer:

Oooh! I am really looking forward to this! :D

There is still time! :D

:drama: I never really wanted to do this, but I have changed my entry. As much as I really, really like that icelandic song (charting at #2 for me next week, which I'm probably going to hide and keep for a later contest), I just found something incredible! It's HUGE, catchy pop with an universal, important message. And it's quite close to schlagertastic as well! :D

Good day, honoured president of Séyetana! *makes a bow* I will now make my review of your personal chart! ^_^ Hehe :D So.. the artists and songs I've bolded are brand new discoveries for me! :cheer: 1. [16] The Crow, The Owl, And The Dove - Nightwish (25 - 20 - 16 - 11 - 1) [4wks] 2. [1] Turn Loose The Mermaids - Nightwish (6 - 4 - 4 - 1 - 1 - 2) [6wks] 3. [2] Euphoria - Loreen (2 - 3) [2wks] - Despite being this early, this should be classified as the best pop song of the year! :wub: I don't have an mp3 of it, though, so I can't listen to it more yet, but I will as soon as I am able to buy the whole MF 2012 album. 4. [20] Billy The Kid - Dia Frampton (20 - 4) [2wks] 5. [3] Bad Girls - M.I.A (3 - 5) [2wks] - Very impressive and bold music video! Sometimes I truly wonder how they actually have managed to make it, how much it must've cost and what they did in order to get all of those people in on the music video. This is one of those moments. Well.. I knew she had a new single out, but M.I.A. has never really interested me enough to go listen to more of her material. I like this song, it's really.. cool. She is cool, and swaggy :P I don't love this, but it is interesting and a bit different. 6. [10] Alone Again ft. Jump Smokers - Alyssa Reid (18 - 16 - 22 - 41 - 48 - x - 50 - 31 - 12 - 12 - 6 - 10 - 6) [12wks] 7. [--] Mirror - Lil Wayne ft. Bruno Mars (7) [1wk] - I generally just don't like Lil Wayne, but he doesn't do much of himself on this track; in fact I find his voice comfortable, and Bruno Mars makes me actually like it! 8. [9] Titanium - David Guetta ft. Sia (1 - 1 - 2 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 4 - 6 - 6 - 5 - 9 - 11 - 14 - 18 - 24 - 42 - 46 - 46 - 16 - 8 - 8 - 5 - 10 - 7 - 9 - 8) [28wks] - Longest Runner 9. [4] Somebody That I Used To Know - Gotye ft. Kimbra (29 - 31 - 45 - 50 - x - 27 - 16 - 4 - 1 - 3 - 3 - 4 - 9) [12wks] 10. [12] Get Out My Head - Redlight (32 - 15 - 12 - 10) [4wks] 11. [42] Live Tomorrow - Lena Phillipsson (Sthlm mix) (46 - 42 - 11) [3wks] 12. [21] Give Me All Your Lovin’ - Madonna ft. M.I.A & Nicki Minaj (21 - 12) [2wks] - That music video is hilarious! She still got it, doesn't she? :o 13. [23] Last Ride Of The Day - Nightwish (23 - 13) [2wks] - Feisty! 15. [14] Midnight City - M83 (12 - 4 - 13 - 14 - 23 - 15 - 21 - 38 - 41 - x - 37 - 14 - 5 - 9 - 14 - 15) [15wks] 16. [--] Ass Back Home - Gym Class Heroes ft. Neon Hitch (16) [1wk] - Is this Neon Hitch getting the attention she deserves? :D This is an highly enjoyable song, and I think I should give it a few more listens and maybe even chart it! ^_^ 19. [7] Twilight - Cover Drive (18 - 2 - 2 - 4 - 7 - 19) [6wks] 20. [8] My Dilemma - Selena Gomez & The Scene (36 - 8 - 20) [3wks] - Fantastic! :wub: You're welcome! 21. [--] Stay - Tooji (21) [1wk] 22. [24] Off To The Races - Lana Del Rey (49 - 24 - 22) [3wks] - I barely like this, but Lana Del Rey is generally quite uninteresting for me, which I'm probably alone in feeling :lol: 23. [15] Shady Love - Scissor Sisters (22 - 15 - 11 - 9 - 8 - 15 - 23) [7wks] 24. [13] Born To Die - Lana Del Rey (45 - 5 - 2 - 5 - 9 - 13 - 11 - 13 - 24) [9wks] 25. [30] Drunk - Ed Sheeran (30 - 30 - 25) [3wks] 26. [22] Who’s Gonna Love Me - SoSo (26 - 22 - 26) [3wks] 27. [RE] Breathing - Jason Derulo (33 - x - 27) [2wks] 28. [--] Hot Right Now - DJ Fresh ft. Rita Ora (28) [1wk] - This genre is indeed hot right now! Especially in the UK, I've noticed. I like it, as this is better than 'Louder' for me. Much more catchy and accessible. 29. [19] What Doesn’t Kill You (Stronger) - Kelly Clarkson (24 - 24 - 24 - 11 - 8 - 6 - 10 - 19 - 29) [9wks] 30. [32] Studio Killers - Ode To The Bouncer (27 - 32 - 30) [3wks] 31. [29] Flares - Prance Faris (19 - 16 - 23 - 29 - 31) [5wks] 32. [--] Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) - Arcade Fire (32) [1wk] 33. [25] Storytime - Nightwish (2 - 3 - 5 - 2 - 1 - 1 - 3 - 7 - 11 - 12 - 25 - 33) [12wks] 35. [28] Linjen I Min Hand - Elisa’s (29 - 28 - 35) [3wks] - Can't find this =/ 36. [16] Zola - The Wonder Villains (25 - 16 - 36) [3wks] 37. [31] Work - The 2 Bears (31 - 37) [2wks] 38. [--] When I Held Ya - Moa Lignell (38) [1wk] 39. [27] Sailors - Lise Karlsnes (21 - 21 - 27 - 39) [4wks] 40. [45] Turn Me On - David Guetta ft. Nicki Minaj (8 - 13 - 20 - 42 - 48 - x - 45 - 40) [7wks] 41. [26] Honey And The Bee - Owl City (26 - 44 - x - 21 - 4 - 1 - 3 - 7 - 13 - 26 - 41) [10wks] - It's still here! Great! :D 42. [38] Sunshine Girl - moumoon (38 - 42) [2wks] 43. [37] Mama Do The Hump - Rizzle Kicks (36 - 39 - 40 - 31 - 24 - 20 - 37 - 43) [8wks] 44. [36] No Light No Light - Florence + The Machine (41 - 25 - 25 - 20 - 15 - 18 - 22 - 36 - 44) [7wks] 45. [--] Sing You Home - Xenia (45) [1wk] 46. [44] The Night - School Of Seven Bells (44 - 46) [2wks] 47. [34] Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen (30 - 23 - 28 - 34 - 47) [5wks] 48. [61] Youth - Foxes (61 - 48) [2wks] 49. [43] Wintersnow - Mercedes And I (43 - 49) [2wks] 50. [40] International Love - Pitbull ft. Chris Brown (42 - 18 - 40 - 50) [4wks] 51. [41] Look Back - Tone Damli (41 - 51) [2wks] 52. [39] Pixelated People/Vultures - Jess Mills (39 - 52) [2wks] 53. [35] Wild Ones - Flo Rida ft. Sia (17 - 12 - 10 - 14 - 17 - 35 - 53) [7wks] 54. [47] Amnesia - Ian Carey ft. Roxette, Timbaland, Brasco (47 - 54) [2wks] 55. [56] Club Lights - Rachel Adedejii (35 - 56 - 55) [3wks] 56. [67] Hello Hello - Bic Runga (67 - 56) [2wks] 57. [33] You And I - Minnie-Oh (15 -14 - 33 - 57) [4wks] 58. [68] The Broken Ones - Dia Frampton (68 - 58) [2wks] 59. [62] Belanova - Mariposas (62 - 59) [2wks] - I'm glad to see you chart this lovely song! :wub: I also do recommend listening to 'Nada de más', which is actually a bit stronger, more charming and catchier song with more apparaent hooks and melodies. 60. [49] Love Story/Sit! Stay! Wait! Down! - Namie Amuro (34 - 49 - 60) [2wks] - I know I'll probably like this, but I don't know how to access the song :nocheer: 61. [73] Talk That Talk ft. Jay-Z - Rihanna (42 - x - 47 - 73 - 61) [4wks] 62. [--] Overflow - Ditte Marie (62) [1wk] - :dance: 63. [--] Still - Moonlight Breakfast (63) [1wk] 64. [52] My Crown - The Storm (31 - 52 - 64) [3wks] 65. [74] You Da One - Rihanna (12 - 18 - 47 - x - 48 - 37 - 30 - 43 - 74 - 65) [10wks] 66. [46] Makeover - Escort (46 - 66) [2wks] - I was disappointed when I noticed this wasn't going to qualify :( I gave it 7 points! 67. [--] U Got The Power - Swiss Lips (67) [1wk] - So catchy! 68. [55] Breakn A Sweat - Skrillex & The Doors (55 - 68) [2wks] - Skrillex is really capable of making good dubstep, isn't he? :o I really like this! Have you heard 'Skrillex feat. Krewella - Breathe'? It's probably his most poppy song yet, you might like it! 72. [--] Liar Liar - Mollyhaus (72) [1wk] 73. [57] Heat Of The Night - Paulina Rubio (37 - 57 - 73) [3wks] 74. [50] Taikatalvi - Nightwish (50 - 74) [2wks] - I don't think I've ever listened to so many Nightwish songs as I have through your chart :lol: I wish the frontwoman sung this, as then it would be perfect ^_^ 75. [51] You And I Know - Marigold (41 - 51 - 75) [3wks] GREAT chart this week; with many songs I know and like, including a lot of BJSC songs! Aaaand some discoveries made as well, which is always nice! :D

A little late, but.. thank you again! :D And now that I've hosted one contest, I'd preferably wait some time until I eventually host again. I don't think it happens in the near future, and it might not happen at all for that matter. So I'm quite pleased everyone enjoyed what I did! Thank you, too! Yay you're back again! ^_^

Ooh, so he/she sings in norwegian, then? :o And is it a relatively new song?

I've voted! :D This was the year I struggled the most with; cutting down from 27 countries to just 10 countries.. is CRUEL! :(
