Freeze

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.

[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! :(

What did you win with?

I remember there being some discussion about this :unsure: But I agree with you, even if I do like that song - it feels a bit inauthentic coming from us. If I remember correctly, we didn't have that many great choices that year, apart from Infinity with a fabulous eurodance track, wich I loved at the time and hoped could win it! *goes to purchase from iTunes to have some listens* Oh and 'Rocket ride', coming second from Siste sjansen :wub: But NO, the people voted for Guri Schanke :nocheer: Which seemed a bit random for me..

Does the song title have anything to do with energized body parts? :P

Haha, fantastic! :D I wish I had someone else to have discussions and do live ratings and scoreboards and stuff with, but I often feel very alone in liking everything Eurovision related, sadly :( Hell, I almost feel alone in liking pop music :lol: :nocheer: Not including Buzzjack, naturally ^_^

2003 made me a fan of Eurovision. 2007 made me a complete loon about it! I absolutely love this year, and after watching that recap I have about 27 countries I'd like to vote for! :drama: :wub:

Oooh, interesting! :o I wonder who that is. Is he/she famous here in Norway? Or completely unknown?

Nope! :D They're quite unknown, and has been making a lot of icelandic covers of many different, famous pop songs - and this seems to be their only original track :o

Confirmed! I don't believe anyone has taken it, as they are an icelandic act - with an icelandic song! Quite strange how this has turned out for me, as I never would've thought that I would be sending two foreign language entries in a row!

Thanks, but thank you too for sending that wonderful song :wub: It's a Kaizers Orchestra cover, but still I'm not sure if I've ever heard it before, so I'm glad you sent it! How overwhelming! :wub: Thank you so much everyone! :D

Thank you! And I'm glad you liked it to that extent. I agree; it most certainly is flawless :wub: :D :D It still feels a bit unbelievable, but thanks a lot! ^_^ So I noticed! :o I should be at the top end of your voting history right about now :D It's fantastic, as in BJSC you've only given me 4 points :lol: but yeah, glad you love it as well ^_^

WOW! This is incredible! :o First I actually managed to win BJSC for the first time ever since I made my debut in 2009, and just after that I win in Unknown Pleasures (which I thought I'd never do!) so I am quite surprised about this! Glad too, as it seems many of you made a great discovery in 'Nova' :wub: And how amazing isn't this outcome?! :D I did think to myself and played with the idea while reading the results and it seemed like I was doing very well - that IF I ever won this it would be very amusing and interesting to swap contests like that. And it happened! still trying to digest it, though.. Oh and I thought the results went rather well. That was only one mistake, so nothing to beat yourself up about ^_^ I liked reading your comments, and it was exciting too!

At least you liked it to an extent, I hope :drama: Hmm.. I think I gave you 1 point in the semi finals, so I might not've helped you as such :( ^_^ @2* - I guess you're right. At least she did get to perform in the finals, and hopefully managed to get a few more fans (like she deserves :D ) @5 - Oh? How do you see them? Are they having any promotional series of some sort? :o But I agree, though, this is better than 'Crash my party', which I didn't particularly like that much. This reminds me of Katy Perrys' 'Teenage dream', which can explain why I enjoy it so much! @7 - I noticed. You gave it 7 points in the semi final, and nothing in the final! :o Too bad you grew tired of it :nocheer: I think it's a great, catchy pop song with a latin sound to it. It's still a bit surprising that she's 40 years old, though. But it shouldn't matter that much. So good for her! @11 - I didn't knew you were participating until I saw you had an entry in it in your chart. I can't think of any entry who would obviously suit you, though. So I'm looking forward to the results tonight! @15 - I'm actually listening to it right now! It's so beautiful, I love her voice and the arrangements and how magical and adventurous it is :wub: Thanks! And thank you for commenting again! And you almost like everything in my chart too, which is amazing! :D

Aaah, nicely played! :D Well, my name is Nicolai Alexander ^_^ A russian and a greek name, actually :o And yours? I don't think you've said your name before :) Haha, you're right. I really want that to make me feel better :lol: And maybe it does, just a little bit :kink: @14 - That's great! Be careful, or you'll end up like everybody else :P Aaww, that's too bad, I really like her :( You know, I am currently listening to some new K-pop songs, so I am going to chart them next week! :magic: :cheer:

Hello! ^_^ A bit surprised you gave me 1 point in the final. Sorry I couldn't give you any points, as I did like your song it was just so many songs I wanted to vote for! :drama: Thanks for commenting!

I'm really glad my idea of using national flags has gotten such a positive response! :D Everything felt a bit more 'realistic', pretty and most of all including that way. As everyone participating is different/unique etc, and this is another way of showcasing that. When I was preparing my results presentation for the final, I then came up with the highlighting and recap part. I did have a lot of ideas before I even began hosting, but they came better late than never! Oh and to get such a compliment from you is extraordinary ^_^ :o Oh, stop it! :heehee: :blush: I believe in Dandy, though. He knows how to pull it off, I'm sure! But if he (or anyone else hosting in the future) wants to use all of the national flags I've resized, in any way or to any type of presentation, I would be happy to provide direct links for them! ^_^

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! :D

The name of my capital is Green Forest ^_^ Nocturne is the name of our airborn castle where the final show was arranged.

What do you mean? Are they changing any of the elements in the song for the semi final? :unsure: THIS! :D

Oooh, very cool graphics! :D I look forward to this contest, as it feels so good to be a normal participant again, but it feels a bit weird at the same time. I have many excellent ideas for an entry in this time as well :wub: so I might struggle to make a final decision. Oh and please don't feel like you have something to live up to in regards to hosting. I do appreciate that people have been saying that, but you don't need to make this contest as I made mine or anything like that as you should just do it the way YOU would like to do things.
