No problems, it stood out to me as an entry I remembered the most out of all the ones I've rated highly (which is what the list was).

Oh and forgot to mention a big thanks to George for compiling this too!

Here's my FSC history, divided between Australia and New Zealand since I swap between the 2:

Australia

Oct 2003: (unfinished) Amiel - Lovesong
Apr 2008: (11th) Sneaky Sound System - UFO
Jun 2008: (1st) Ricki-Lee - Can't Touch It
Sept 2008: (10th) Joel Turner & The Modern Day Poets - These Kids
Dec 2008: (7th) Candice Alley - Falling

New Zealand

May 2008: (11th) Brooke Fraser - Arithmetic
Jul 2008: (2nd) Zed - Renegade Fighter
Oct 2008: (4th) P Money feat Vince Harder - Everything
Jan 2009: (1st) Brooke Fraser - Deciphering Me

So as you can tell, I've been somewhat successful with 2 wins, 1 2nd placing, 3 other top 10 placings and I haven't scored below 11th place so far. Don't know how well I'll do in this month's contest though.

OH NO, not with angry smileys again! poor people, you are so easily disturbed

let me remind you that, of course, nobody checks those old ones when they enter their contestants (they might start now, of course), there was a HUGE gap between contests and not that many of those from 2003 carried on participating. so you might consider that they had a fresh start rather than continued from where they left off

Those weren't angry faces, I was just confused to see the same song with same country twice, that's it.

I don't know why you always have this attitude, you could've been nicer and skipped the sarcastic intro to your post which is very much appreciated.

ok, ok, I take that back.. sorry
somehow this :-?

and this

emoticons always wind me up, cause it looks like people are passing unnecessary judgements or complaining

Grybop you rule! Thanks a lot!

Now it's easier to check which entries have entered the contest. 8-)

Cheerios!

Added links.

This topic is a VERY god idea! This way it will be so simple to see what songs were presented so that not to repeat them again. And for myself to remember what countries I had presented!

Great Post

Its a hall of shame for India (i've entered 10 times with them)
Never out of the bottom 3 and plenty of wooden spoons

How random... aside from one of the early FSC's, I was ALMOST the only one who's represented an entire CONTINENT! :lol:

There was Colombia early on which wasn't represented by me, but since then, I've been the only one to represent South America, where I've represented both Brazil and Argentina

The only other country that I've been alone in representing is Thailand for the current contest.

I have been pretty lucky with my entries.
My both entries managed 50+ scores.
My last song "Shut Up And Bounce" managed 64 points!

Great idea!

We can also make a special edition of FSC (25 winners in one contest! - and voting as in monthly fsc)

What I'd really like to see is a special Retro FSC with songs before 2000.

Yeah - I never fully understood the need for a post-2K rule.

All the best music is from the last millennium.
