Genuinely surprised by some of the non qualifiers, i really hope this doesn't end up being full of recent songs

Going by a lot of the NQ's and looking at the first round of qualifiers I'd say recent songs are at a disadvantage; older tunes more likely to benefit from "nostalgia" points.

This isn't a complaint btw; I'm not saying nostalgia is an invalid reason to give a song a high score, we all like a warm, fuzzy nostalgic feeling but it is something older songs will benefit from against newer ones that may be just as good or better.

I went for older songs in my nominations, for this reason, but half of them didn't make the cut. #sadface

99 red balloons Nena - Because The Night Patti Smith - if it was 99 Luftballons I might have gone for Nena but the English version is so inferior to the German one that it shouldn't be here. Also Patti is great.


Ironic Alanis Morisette - Sleeping Satellite Tasmin Archer - somewhat of a protest vote here because Alanis has way better songs than Ironic.

Somebody To Love Jefferson Airplane - Altar Machineart - absolute CHOON, plus I'm a little machineheart'ed out at this stage (Sorry LeVar)


Black Horse and The Cherry Tree, Live on Later With Jools Holland KT Tunstall - Love is a battlefield Pat Benator - enjoy both but going with the one that gets me more pumped.

Sleeping Satellite - Tasmin Archer

Altar - machinheart ; well at least one of my noms made it

I think I lost 3 or 4 in the culling stage and that yiz are all tone deaf f*ckers.
I think of these first rounds none of them scored highly from me at all - It looks like I may just give up and leave it to faith that I still think one of mine has a chance - sometimes these rounds go too quick for me - so I may not get to vote in them all
