Freeze

If that is the case, then, I can do my results on tuesday at the earliest. I have a japanese class to be at tomorrow night, and there's a test to prepare for as well.. so.. tuesday it is! ^_^ Does that work? If I present them early evening? Or later? :unsure:

Oh no, is it? :o *checks* "by Sunday 13 May at 11:59am. The results show will be broadcast the same or the following evening" Has he said anything about which evening yet? Because if it is tonight, then I can postpone my own results? I think it would be best if our results were at different times, and tbh I really want to listen to his results show as well.

Whoops! :heehee: I probably gave a bit away, but not too much apparently :D This is taking me a lot longer than I anticipated, mostly due to me wanting to be a bit creative again (:D).. but I will try to get everything set up before 9 PM - so stick with that. 9 PM! :cheer:

I know I can easily accept the votes without a deduction, but just because I can does that mean I should do it? I feel it's mostly a matter of principle; it's in the rules, I stated it in the opening post - voting after the deadline will give you a deduction, simple as that. Tyron knows this well from the moment he confirmed a song, and there were only two people that failed to make the deadline in time. Everyone else got the message and voted before the deadline. It doesn't messes with my preparations, and his deduction only makes him fall four places on the scoreboard and his votes doesn't change the winner as well. So I don't see the problem with the penalty, it is justified.

Hmm... I don't know about that :( Because I didn't say anything about an end of the weekend deadline (you should've made sure :drama:), and it wouldn't be completely fair given you've had quite a long time to vote + the two extra days. I'll accept your votes, but you are getting a deduction.

Alright, then. But how about if they vote some time early tomorrow. Should I count their votes, but still give them a deduction? :unsure:

The deadline is over, and two people didn't vote: Messiah & Horatio Given I gave an extension I'm inclined to give them a points deduction, but I don't know if I should count their votes as well if they do vote before the results take place. What do you guys think? Should I? I agree, it's quite difficult, but that's what guessing and discussions are for :D Besides it will get easier the more people I reveal.

Great! I'll arrange it then! :cheer: Oh. I was thinking about giving the name of the next voter and you'd guess what they have sent - before I post what they've sent and their votes. Like this: ---------- Pavel sent ... Pavel's votes: - Guess what Dandy has sent! ---------- Dandy sent ... Dandy's votes: - Guess what Tirren has sent! And so on... :unsure:

Semi-Final 2 1. FSR Rontvia: Mr Little Jeans – Runaway 2. Umiiruka: Aubrey O'Day - Wrecking Ball 3. Allecian: Jamie McDell - You'll Never Take That Away 4.

Fljótavík: Electric Guest - This Head That I Hold 25. Kylienips: Linnea Olsson – Dinosaur Trying to be as objective as I can, but it's difficult. Many of these are borderline qualifiers in my opinion. Tricky :thinking:

Why does my entries always confuse people? :drama: :P Every time there's a group of predictions saying that I'll DNQ, and an equally big group saying that I will qualify! I'll give my predictions soon! :D

Edit: Scrap that, I think I found a way to make it work! :D

Hi Rich! I finally got round to listening to 'Believe again' by Delta Goodrem (because I had to :kink: ) and I really like it. I don't love it, BUT I definitely see what that is that makes you love it so much. It's special. @1 - I know, it's incredible! :o I never expected to love their album as much as I have done, but it's so superb! :wub: @4 - I noticed your comment on it during the results show, I also (obviously) think it's a great pop song, and even though I'm very happy just to make it through to the final, something about it made me to believe it would do a lot better. How our love for certain musical creations can cloude our judgement :( I still love it though :wub: Wow, you liked a lot that week! Thanks for commenting again! :D

Thanks Martin! ^_^ I like your UP entry too :kink: It's fine, don't worry, my chart fell pretty quick that week :P *@1 - Haha, that's alright! No pressure! ^_^ *@2 - Me too; I usually seem to LIKE the winner, but I don't always vote for them, which is a bit :( But you're in semi 1 now, right? Hmm.. and what do you think? Is there a winner in there? ------------------ @1 - Glad you like it! It's a bit of a grower so please do listen to it more than once :P Hmm.. what is it about 'Pull of the eye' that makes you love it so much? @3 - She is so good, and I didn't think so much of her singing like that actually. It makes sense, and it seems a bit two-sided now. Both pleading and kind of like a spoiled bitch :heehee: @4 - I thought you might like it ^_^ And yeah, I guess I did :kink: @9 - Wow, is it? :o I really enjoy the song too :wub: But there are about 22-23 songs I like just as much or a bit more according to how they've done in my personal chart. 'Turn loose the mermaids' have the exact same year points, actually :P @10 - I hear that too, and that's the same thing that I love about this song as well. She performs it brilliantly! Glad to hear! Thank you for commenting! ^_^

Hi again :D I've been so occupied lately, so that's why I respond so late :drama: Anyway; Primadonna IS fabulous! This is exactly what I love about her too, so it's odd how this is the first you like about her. Have you heard 'Oh no!' ? It's in the same style as this. So catchy :wub: @5 - I love that bit too, but I find her voice my favourite element of the song as a whole ^_^ @13 - She has some good tracks on this new album of hers. Makes me consider buying it! :o Have you heard 'All around the world'? I know, but I think you'll like more and more from now on, because K-POP has entered my life again :w00t: One song this week, but more to come next week! :o Thanks for commenting again! You're one of few who actually bother too, so I appreciate that! :D

The pace isn't the only thing that makes a song different from the other, though :P I think there are a variety of songs in this contest, and I don't think a lot of songs merge into one another.. so either I'm misunderstanding something or we just look at things differently :unsure: :D Oh and I have an interesting idea for the final show; What if.. at the end of each post with votes, I give the name of the next participant in line to vote, and you can all guess what that person has sent for an entry - before I post the next votes! You'll get one point for each correct guess and I'll have an additional scoreboard ready for input and at the end of the results I will reveal the winner of that as well. It's a bit difficult, I know, but it will get easier to guess along the line, when there's fewer people and songs left. Just to add some additional fun into it ^_^ No problem! It's only fair to everyone involved if a group of people need a bit more time to vote, and I could also use some more time to prepare the results.

New deadline is set in the opening post! ^_^

I sort of wouldn't mind either way, I just want to give people the time they need to listen and vote properly - given it's alright to wait a few more extra days for the results. I can't do the results on a Monday, though, but Sunday works for me.

Alright. How much more do you think you'll need?

I am aware of that :P But there's just so many left on the last day :drama:

Does people need more time to listen and vote? Because I'd be happy to give a little more time as, I haven't recieved half of the votes yet and it takes a while to prepare everything.

How on earth? That's just terrible :drama:

This is a FANTASTIC idea, Tom! :D Thanks for letting me now before you posted it :kink: No really, I LOVE this! :wub: Looking forward to it already! Not sure if I will be recording a message, though, as I am also afraid to sound a bit weird and stupid :lol: I might go for a written review, at least ^_^ Do you need anymore songs? I have everything from XXXVI and XLI. Don't know if I'll be here for the results, though, which is sad because I really want to! I'll be at my japanese class from 5:45 PM to 7:30 PM - and I'll be home approximately at 8:00 PM - are you starting it around that time or? Because if I miss it I hope you can fix it so that we can watch/listen to the show afterwards!

I'm always in the middle of the odds! :drama: But that's not necessarily a bad thing, I guess - especially when there are so many countries involved!

Great! I wanted to vote from the beginning, but I had two other contests to listen to. I'm going out in a short while, but may I send them to you around 11:00 PM at the latest? :unsure:
