That’s just anything though isn’t it? People (me included) will put off doing stuff as late as possible. D5K knows what’s up, after ESC Again is a loonier time on the schedule. YOU missed the viewing party twice, can you blame everyone else? I agree that the viewing party shouldn’t be an indication of interest, it’s more of a fun extra, everyone probably knows these songs inside out anyway. btw did you get my vote video? I thought it was a bit brave to strongly recommend videos from everyone! Is there a plan B?
A viewing party seemed a touch extra for such songs. For me I'd get this wrapped up ASAP. Regardless of lack of interest it's still complete at least.
I said in my very first post suggesting a delay that I take full responsibility for the drift in interest. It's no secret that I've been completely burned out on this project for a while. Also, video voting is strongly encouraged but it was never mandatory. Let's press on for now and see how things look on Sunday.
I’ll send my votes tonight or tomorrow. I’m glad it’s not been called off, I have a fully realised concept for my video and everything.
Gentle reminder to past round players @ButterTart, @Penelope, @Pingu, @sewerynsven, @wurst, @Kevin, @Kevin7, @David_5000, @Dark Carnival, @wurst, @lolly, @Alla, @Kalabaliken, @Raining On Me, @auretz, @Ill Advised and anybody else who wishes to vote.
DO IT FUCKERS! @ButterTart, @Penelope, @Pingu, @sewerynsven, @wurst, @Kevin, @Kevin7, @David_5000, @Dark Carnival, @wurst, @lolly, @Alla, @Kalabaliken, @Raining On Me, @auretz, @Ill Advised
I went home from work poorly today so I can't do the video tonight. I'll have a crack at it tomorrow.
Yeah, I voted last night too. On a whim chucked points at a song I hadn't been thinking of before then, and am now slightly regretting it.
@ButterTart, @Penelope, @Pingu, @sewerynsven, @Kevin, @Dark Carnival, @lolly, @Alla, @Kalabaliken, @Raining On Me - Still waiting, bitches. @Zu-Klara / @Ecce Homo or whatever the hell you're calling yourself these days, get in here too.
Apologies @dmlaw but after some of the semi results I've been forced to put a cap on heterosexual voting. Anyway, last few hours bitches. I'm open to one final attempt at a viewing party tonight if it'd help anybody.
Out of the kindness of my heart, and because @VoR and I are more similar than he likes to think - in fact I would suggest that we might be astral twins or perhaps fated to live together in a caravanette in Canvey, almost certainly resulting in a horrifying double homicide - I have VOTED
Very poor show on the lack of a recap video or CdM-sponsored viewing party I must say. Slothful wench. All these songs are new to me and I’ve never heard them before so I had to spend days on YouTube watching all the lovely videos
Sorting my results out now. Mercy is the real shitbomb in this line-up. The fact that anyone would think it was worth more points than Requiem or J'ai Cherche is just upsetting.
I hardly think that's our fault. If myself and ButterTart had been the only ones allowed to vote, we'd have had the correct finalists from Iceland and Hungary.
Just to advise that I shall be representing Hatari and, rather than waving the Palestinian flag, I shall be throwing several tons of sloppy dog dirt at evil Hera during la Grande Cérémonie de la Chanson du Grand Prix des Internet Queens
It's about a little baby, which is lovely and all but I think babies are quite boring and played-out.
She's mint! Seriously, though. Why would you Facetime someone to show them your baby? They all look the same and dress the same; unless it's got a cool feature like an extra leg or a big oblong forehead like him off Mask, I'm not interested.
22 votes in at the midnight deadline. We had bigger semis, but not a bad turnout all things considered. However, in an unprecedented move () I've decided to extend the voting window for 72 hours. I feel like a midweek evening results show is more likely to get decent ratings than a Summer Sunday. So @sewerynsven, @Kevin, @Dark Carnival, @lolly, @Alla, @Kalabaliken, @Raining On Me - you have until 23.59 on Tuesday 11th August. But that is the absolute final deadline. Also, where are the @dUb, @COB and @Alex votes at?
BTW, I only received a handful of video votes, so while I still encourage them, don't let that be a barrier to entry if you can't be arsed.
Hi loves, currently on holiday! We arrive to Valencia tomorrow, so I might have a little more time to do this before the deadline!
I had one song in my top four that I'd just assumed had qualified, and then had to remove it when I idly checked and found it hadn't made it!
Votes close at midnight tonight, for real this time, with a view to doing the results tomorrow evening. 30 votes in now, which is fabulous! Last call for the following holdouts - @sewerynsven, @Dark Carnival, @lolly, @Alla, @Kalabaliken, @Raining On Me and anybody else who'd like to play. Just to reiterate, video/audio votes are far from mandatory. Though I do very much appreciate those who've made the effort.
