Not sure. But you are definitely the first person to receive 0 points and not finish last lol

Was I the first person to ever receive 0 points?

Not sure either since we can't get point results for other contests that AlexZ posted...there has been several songs that were in the single digits though.

*random post*

Just like I did on the first page (although this is an update of sorts), Ima compile a little list of FSC tunes I still like long after they've been entered:

Electric Wire Hustle - Perception (New Zealand - Jan 2010)
This song is still sooooooo smooth & chilled to my ears. Reminds me of summer. There's a lovely groove to this.

Sistars - Inspirations (Innocent Sorcerers Remix)(Poland - Jan 2010)
The original/non-remix version of this song is good too IMO. My favourite entry from that month and for good reason. I still walk around sometimes singing the chorus to myself. I'm even singing it to myself as I type this post.

Little - Je Veux Des Violons (France - July 2008)
Just a cute little pop tune. I need to hurry up and learn French so I can sing along to this one. I kinda already do phonetically though. I chuckle whenever I hear this on the Garnier ads as I might just be the only person in Australia who knows this song.

Bonnie Bailey - Ever After (Eric's Beach Remix) (US - Sept 2008)
Another one that randomly gets into my head from time to time. I miss Ryan (ryan_9048) around these parts.

And more recently:

Tiziano Ferro - Perdono (Italy - Jan 2012)
If I had to lose by 1 point to anyone that month (which I did), I'm happy I lost to this. I can understand why it was such a hit in Europe at the time it was released, cos this is a gorgeous and sexy tune. Makes me want to learn Italian.

Kids of 88 - Just A Little Bit (New Zealand - Mar 2012)
As I mentioned in the thread, I already knew this tune before it was entered, but couldn't remember how it went or whether I liked it. Now of course I do.

Then from the last 2 contests:

Jessie Ware - Running (UK - May 2012)
Brodka - Dancing Shoes (Kamp! Remix) (Poland - June 2012)
Both will be featuring in my end of year list.

Gin Wigmore - Black Sheep (NZ - June 2012)
Like the Kids of 88 tune, knew this one prior to the contest. Had heard it several times and really badly wanted to like it since I'm a fan of Ms Wigmore, but I couldn't for some reason. Now, thanks to the contest, I rather enjoy it.

How could you dislike Black Sheep in the first listen, Shell?

I'm so addicted to this song. Probably one of the first of the FSC that doesn't get out of my head

How could you dislike Black Sheep in the first listen, Shell?

I guess I thought it was a letdown compared to the stuff on her first album, which I really enjoyed and I still play sometimes. That + my tastes can be fickle/too discerning and it can take me a while to warm up to a tune. Will probably end up getting Gravel & Wine (her 2nd/latest album) at some stage.
