[Iguana]

Waiting for the first vote like

 

[Iguana]

(just kidding, take some time!!)

 

[Lucille]

126 point deduction! Bitch ain’t PLAYING.

 

[Suomi]

126 point deduction! Bitch ain’t PLAYING.

this is exactly the sort of high stakes drama that would tempt me not to vote

 

[Lucille]

I don’t think I’ve even scored 126 in previous comps.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Will likely vote tomorrow after a second listen.

 

[Berly]

I’ll not be voting until last minute, I like to really get bedded in and listen to them all a good few many times

 

[BoysForSeles]

I’ll listen to these playlists during homeworking tomorrow instead of rubbish morning tv in the background. I have a clear favourite but already knew the song well so it’s only fair to listen to the others a few times.

 

[ButterTart]

Playlist downloaded. I think I’ve got my high scorers locked in, I just need to sort out the minnows.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I must say, having the SF2 spotify playlist on in the background has made many of the songs in the first half much more tolerable. Though being good background music is damning with faint praise I suppose.

I agree, I think some of the videos were more of a hindrance than a help for some Part Two songs!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

MR NAEF! MR NAEF! Japan isn't on the Spotify playlist!

 

[Iguana]

MR NAEF! MR NAEF! Japan isn't on the Spotify playlist!

This is CORRECT - see my comment from last night:

LAST ONE!!

21
JAPAN
I Will Catch You by Nokko

NOTE: This was on Spotify, but not available in the UK, so you'll be able to enjoy it on YouTube only. The poster who entered this song was informed.

*Mr Naef frown*

 

[win_the_game]

The sheer ARROGANCE from Japan.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

This is CORRECT - see my comment from last night:



*Mr Naef frown*

A Non-UK resident entering a Japanese song?

 

[GinAg (39)]

I wonder if every voter will listen to both semis

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

So touch my body if that’s what you want!

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

We are strong!
We are young!
Let’s take a chance

So many douze pointers to choose from!

 

[Iguana]

So many douze pointers to choose from!

Yes but don't forget you also give 14, 16, 18 and 20 this time!

 

[Tisch]

Yes but don't forget you also give 14, 16, 18 and 20 this time!

Have you thought up a suitable punishment for those who forget this and send a traditional 1-12?

(I'm thinking something like this NOF-fy pic)

Spoiler

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Don’t push it now, I didn’t say they’re THAT good.

Is that what you boys are into?

 

[Tisch]

No, just tummy swords and the odd bit of scat.

Spoiler

The vote will be invalid and they'll get a 126 point deduction if they don't correct it when prompted

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

No, just tummy swords and the odd bit of scat.

How vanilla

 

[ButterTart]

How vanilla

RS rejects the advances of Scatman John because he’s ‘too vanilla’. Being dead for 21 years, however, wasn’t considered a dealbreaker.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I must say that, now the songs are all over, the response to my song was very disappointing. I honestly think it's an absolute treat that reveals itself on repeated listens, but is also very instant. I also somewhat suspect the position of my song led to... well at best indifference.

Honestly I'm sending WHITE NOISE next time.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I don't blame Iguana for the position of my song either, not that it SHOULD make a difference, as I think he likes it.

ANYWAY.

I think sometimes the live comments don't reflect the votes... We shall see

 

[GinAg (39)]

I was just SURPRISED!

But yeah if you presume the results based on the comments, then you assume everything RS hates coming dead last and the novelty entries winning.

 

[Iguana]

I thought it was in a good position Can't say too much obv...

@Tisch already gave me grief about his position

But I can't complain as I did the same to @Soldi last time round

 

[Tisch]

There's s definite gap between "songs which work well in a first listening party" vs "songs which are actually very good without the bells and whistles of all that".

South Korea for example I loved last night, but it was a bit of a PAIN to these ears today.

 

[Tisch]

@Tisch already gave me grief about his position

Ha! Only because it was surrounded by songs that got more positive comments.
