Down to 20 songs (maybe less). Group D winner climbed to 25th overall, not enough to advance.

That's why you always give up on Group D.

 

You're familiar with the system of my voting and it somewhat helps me save quite some time.

 

Yeah, cool, this song is actually the best out of those that I disliked the most. Does it suck that I'll only listen to that specific song only once? Perhaps. But realistically, what chance does a song that starts from 28th position even have to get anywhere close to a top twelve? 

 

You can always identify a small portion of the songs that won't have enough growth to challenge the competition even after that singular listen.

 

Usually it's only the top 20 that can do some damage in the long run and I tend to have that sorted after the second listen as I say goodbye to another 3 to 5 songs before the actual bloodbath starts.

Well, I have tried several different systems, with every song getting one, two or even three listens minimum. These days I aim to give at least two chances to everyone, mostly because I wish to have a better memory of each entry for when the Grand Final comes.

Yeahhh, that moment when you see a song enter top 5 and you can't recollect a single note from that entry, so you run quickly to page 1 of the thread to listen to the song, thinking that perhaps you've made a mistake and quickly understand that the music taste in this place is just wildly wildly different

@heywoodu when official date of deadline of sending our votes will be published? I would want know as I just now started listening the songs  

[Agger 1,663]

Got through the songs for the first time. Have to admit that I'm not all too overwhelmed this time.

[Werloc 3,164]

I have finally settled on my votes, it was a tough battle, but I am very happy with what I've got. 

 

@heywoodu give me some sort of a heads up when you're ready to collect my votes and I'll send them to you.

[dezbee2008 819]

I'll start listening to the songs tomorrow. I'll have the votes ready when it's time

[rybak 3,218]

Well, this was quick, after first two listenings I'm already down to 17 songs  

 

Three songs (maybe four) are fighting for getting my 12 points.

[Dragon 1,844]

After five listens of each song I am ready to complete my voting.

Iceland, Guatemala and Brunei will get no points...
