Re: ICELAND || WV 56: Instrumental NF. Voting is highly recommended xheart

Thanks Grinch for your voting and for your advice!!

I know that Stargazer might like some songs of this selection but she doesn't like voting in NFs so I didn't count her in.
I totally accept her point of view and would never try to force her to vote in this NF.
That's why I didn't mention her in my NF post although I mentioned basically the half community.

Then again she knows that it would mean a lot for me if she votes
hello.gif
It's not that I don't like voting in NFs, it's that I almost never have time to vote in NFs. And I also don't like getting invited to vote in NFs since I then feel guilty about having to turn them down. :lol:

But, with that being said, I actually voted in this NF! :)

Actually the Deadline is already over for 25 minutes. However I decided to prolong the deadline until 0 CET cause I'm not satisfied with the current winner it doesn't make a difference if I send my entry now or later before I go to bed :)

You need to 'Zedd ft. Foxes - Clairty' this NF and ask certain people to vote to swing it, and also vote yourself. xlove Just helpful tips on successfully rigging a nf. xshifty

Re: ICELAND || WV 56: Instrumental NF - Post #384

Ladies and gentleman,
The lines are closed (that's not only a saying I think my inbox is full again :lol: ) and we have a winner.
In total there were 17 voters which is, I think, a new record for me and it makes me a little proud cause it proves that Iceland is neither inivisible nor insignificant in Worldvision xup (and my promotions have been penetrating enough)

These are all the 17 voters:
:lond: :nrwe: ::ista :id: ::onta ::atti :paci: :no: :fi: ::puglia :de: :lv: Lavie's region :ch: :svea: :sc: :us:

The result is as follows:
149,5 points
142,75
128,25
127,25
118
109
102,25
84

... I created some kind of coefficient system for the votings, that's why the numbers look so spooky suddenly. However, the winner would be the same also if I stuck with normal voting but it would be a little closer.

Some words about the winner: I'd say without spoilering too much that the winner is a surprising one... this song has some attitudes which I adore but many other people can't stand it - that's what I thought at least. It proved the community's good taste that this song won and it is a delighting surprise.

Before the NF started there were two songs I considered as favorites and these two songs were leading nearly the whole time. The song that was leading comfortably after 6 or 7 votings (I think) "collapsed" totally and finished only on 5th place which is a little shock for me. :? The lead was taken by the other favorite and it seemed pretty obvious that it would win this NF since it got big votings by nearly every user. However, it was sudenly challenged by another song that got high points as well. The last two votings have been crucial since they caused a change of lead which I didn't consider realistic anymore.

The winner song was permanent around 3rd and 5th place with some distance to the first place but then it managed this heroic comeback. Bravo! For sure my most exciting NF ever xcheer

Once again thank you for your support and for your votings! xheat

I hope you will be back for Söngvakeppnin 57 - Returning Artists Edition which I will publish in 2 weeks I think

I wish you could swap second and first, but they were both amazing songs. Great national final and best of luck with the semi!

Re: ICELAND || WV 56: Ólafur Arnalds - Fyrsta

On the weekend when the Semi Finals are over I will already publish Iceland's next National final Söngvakeppnin 57 - Returning artists edition

To whet your appetite I will post some random comments about the songs of my selection I found in the big world of Internet. In one case I didn't find a comment about the song itself so I took a comment about the album which it came from.

"There's something about this song that just hits your soul. what an amazing group of musicians."

"Beautiful flow of quality music and vocals creating an exquisite ambience with wave after wave of a special subtle magic. We have the fine guitar work together with the golden quality vocals which deliver the lyrics in a relaxed professional manner further to this the backing vocals provides that auxiliary quality which provides that icing on the cake which flies this track to ever higher levels of excellence."

"SUCH an addicting album...it's over before you know it too which makes you want to hit play again. Can't stop listening to **********, *******....hell, all of it! Excited to see where they go from here"

"Heard this song on a random radio station one day while I was cleaning. When it came on, I literally stopped what I was doing and just sat next the the radio cranked on high until it was over. Then, I found it on YouTube and listened to it over and over."

"Hypnotizing. Makes me spiral out from all my problems."

"Good job guys! Love that trumpet lick at the beginning."



xheat xheat You see there's some quality on offer. Big diversity as well. I think people from all pots can like at least one song at least a bit. The voting pattern I'm gonna use will be fine for everybody even for those who don't like my selection a lot

Brace yourselves! xcheer

btw, don't forget to vote for #9 in SF2 :mrgreen:

You gave 8 points to Fyrsta so it was your 3rd favorite :)

I think in a different thread you once wrote that always the last place of your voting wins the NFs so I guess you can be quite satisfied with the result of my NF :) :D

Well, "always" means "very often" :p Glad that one of my favorites won. I liked all the songs except my bottom 2 which as far as I remember was For a Minor Reflection and those songs came in the bottom. So yeah, great results for me xcheer
