Alright, you've all got to wait until tomorrow for my ALC votes. Boo hoo... I'm dying for you to know.
Anyway, without giving much away, here are my little reviews of all the songs, which I first sent to Harrow along with my votes...
Semi Final 1
------------
Good Result
Whoever wrote this is a clearly cunning linquist, but I couldn't make the words fit, or even work some of it out. And, as Stockport's representative in the ALC, I can't possibly vote for an anti-Daz song.
Best line: "If you give the voters time, they won't dial my line".
Every Song Is A Tale Of Woe
Good effort... I overlooked it completely until I sang it over the original. But it didn't make me laugh, and I thought it was Real McCoy not Real McCall (bloody Davina gets everywhere).
Best line: "Over sugared, till it's naff".
Pissadansen
Excellent... first one to make me laugh out loud. Simple but clever, though I don't understand the significance of the 'judo' reference... is there one?
Best line: "All toilets occupied".
The Tasty Moussaka
It's a catchy one this... ideal for remembering your shopping list. If you're gonna re-use the food theme, make it quirky like this. Do you know if the recipe actually works?
Best line: "Tomatoes; potatoes"
Mmm... Brain! (The Zombie Song)
Zombies again? I have such a rude imagination, I find one line particularly disturbing...
Best line: "Hungry for flesh, hungry for bone".
Gruppe Fur Dich
I'm sorry... I've tried and I've tried to translate it... so wanted to give it a fair chance. But I couldn't work it out... do you have a container for the song... that's as far as I got.
Best line: "Hast du Container fur den Song".
I Want Beans
Another food one... and it's pretty good, though I couldn't get some of the lines to fit the music. Would have got points from me if not for that, and the anti-climactic last line.
Best line: "You might think I'm a silly moo".
Inflatable
He he he... yes, this is at my level. The obvious one's are often the best.
Best line: "The boys all thought I was a hag"
A Little Botox
Alas, I couldn't get these words to fit, or make sense really. Nice try though.
Best line: "And I love dresses by Gaultier".
I Had Sex In A Van
Back on track now... bonus points for getting the word 'rim' in there. What's a G-Zone though?
Best line: "Offered him my ass to rim"
Umladi Meni Porvavol
Didn't really get this one... but this person chose such a hard song to do (I had a go at this myself and failed miserably), I give them credit for that (but no points).
Best line: "The grans and the pensioner clubbers are sewing"
Everything (The Culinary Remix)
I quite like this one... even made me laugh. But it's so unoriginal... I'm sure this person has the talent to do much better.
Best line: "I can't believe there's no chicken"
On Again... Off Again
Bit too close to the original for me... and some bits didn't seem to fit. Only points for one doll song from me...
Best line: "You're a poupee de cire wanna-be".
If We All Pay For Ticket
Proof that you don't have to have a perfect grasp of English to write a good, funny ALC song... in fact, I think it actually helps this one.
Best line: "If we all sleep with Svante"
No Gay Impossible
I'd make sure you lock your doors if I were you, Harrow. I think this is quite clever.
Best line: "Just let that desire rule all that you are".
Pasema
No, you can't do an ALC song in an made up language! (I quite liked what was there though)
Best line: "The sum of points they gave to me was quite unsatisfactory"
Torero
Oh goodie, another rude one. But there've been better, and some of this doesn't seem to fit.
Best line: "Cock-a-doodle-doodle-doodle-doo"
Superstar?
I don't think it really took much effort to create this one, I'm afraid. But it made me smile anyway. A Turkish cow? Blimey, good job they didn't write it about Chiara, or there'd have been trouble.
Best line: "Just milk me baby"
Ugly Girl
No, you can't do an ALC song for an instrumental! (I quite liked what was there though). Should have called her an Irish cow instead of an ugly girl.
Best line: "I'm the mouse in the back"
I'm Not Afraid Of My Nose
Now this one is really weird... bogeys! Nice and childish... just missed out on some points from me.
Best line: "Worry to see, if it's gone, hand inside"
Hertz
This is a very polished, professional ALC entry. Made me laugh a lot. This has to make the final.
Best line: "The ashtray had a condom"
Barbie & Ken
Funny how the draw brought out two Swedish based entries together... this one isn't as good as Hertz, but it's still got a couple of giggles in there.
Best line: "Try to undress me, there's nothing there to see, there underneath"
A Song On Speed
This one's better played with the video of Nicole's performance, not just the audio. And I always thought it sounded like "I see heathers on my sleeve" too... so I'm jealous I didn't write this.
Best line: "I see rabits (sp?) counting sheep"
Yay For Free Language
Yes, all the best one's are drawn together. Fourth one on the trot to get points from me. This is so funny... but aren't they the real lyrics? Classic... I know I'm easily beaten by this.
Best line: "Randy goat, desperate to reach to reach new whore? Aye, sons"
Elena Anthem
Sorry, but this seemed like a reject from last year... when Elena was nearly as popular as Chiara.
Best line: "I'm not scared of drops, it rains a lot in Sweden"
Mr A.
I think this is better than the other Tornero entry in this semi... but I'm hoping for better in the other semis (for my super-clever brain tells me that there will be others).
Best line: "That you offend a lot of people on the board"
Semi Final 2
------------
Addicted To Glue
Doesn't do much for me, this one, I'm afraid... I just don't think it's very inventive.
Best line: "The reason why it's hard: I'm so addicted to glue".
The Choice
Aw, poor Eimear. Made me chuckle, mind.
Best line: "I am the bitch in a dress of high quality".
The Factory
Are weak bladder's a common compaint for MBers, then? Good effort, but poor first (doesn't make sense) and last (doesn't fit) lines hurt it.
Best line: "Cheap labour, that is me, I need a break to pee".
We Can't Live Without Neighbours
When I saw the title during the draw, silly me thought it might be all about an certain Australian soap opera... doh! I like the satire in this. Best one so far.
Best line: "And just who of us, yes who of us is getting the douze?".
Brokeback Twist
Funny, yes, and good concept and theme. But some of the lines are little awkward, which is a shame... can't give points.
Best line: "Didn't fancy Fanny, or fannies at all"
My Monobrow
Can't put my finger on it, but this didn't really do anything for me. The title made me smile though.
Best line: "Should I wax, should I not, my monobrow".
Please I Need Help
Doesn't rhyme, does it?
Best line: "Lost my weight, and my wage, my home!".
Soulless
Oooh, arty. Clever. No points.
Best line: "It's lewd, it's lewd."
I'm No Stickler
This one's of particular interest to me, as I've got my own version of Moja Stikla in the third semi. I spent hours trying to think of something to rhyme with Stikla... never even thought of Stickler! Works well, I think... reminds me of the Spitting Image Chicken Song (if you remember that). I think my line of 'Europa, poop-scooper' is better though, so we'll have to see which does better.
Best line: "Tell your Aunt you want her in her bed".
Infallible
Carola gets it again... jolly good.
Best line: "And when I get maligned, I go out of my mind."
Sense A Two
Ho ho. Unfinished, is it? Well, the number of "bla"s is wrong. So there.
Best line: "Bla bla bla bla bla"
Di Di Da
I think that's an original idea, isn't it, put the words to old song to a new one? Very ironic, very clever, methinks.
Best line: "Oompah loompah, oompah loompah sing"
Je-t'a Dollelujah
Don't want to be bigheaded... but I personally still think Hard Cock was better that this. Sure this'll get more points though... it's pretty well written, and it uses the ole standard ALC gimmick of naming as many MBers as you can... how can it not do well?
Best line: "Done 6 rehersals but I'm far from prepared"
I Sue
Good, this needed to be said, and it's said well here.
Best line: "Turning up the dryer's heat, does it smell like meat"
I'm A Whore
Hurrah, someone can write dirtier lyrics than me! I'd have given this douze if it all fitted perfectly, but there's a few too many syllables in some lines...
Best line: "Don't be afraid if it's sore, take a condom from the drawer"
Llama
Only in ALC will you find songs about prostitution and beastiality nestling happily together. This made me laugh a lot.
Best line: "Want to stroke your sweet angora"
McCauls
This is one where the lyrics fit the music perfectly, it's funny, witty... can't fault it. Why're all the good one's together again?
Best line: "You should know you ain't no f*cking stars, and you're this far, only cause the Irish are quite bizarre"
Eyeshadow
Well, fair enough. On the whole, it fits nicely and rhymes... just doesn't seem to push any buttons.
Best line: "It makes me look pretty as I scream out my song on the stage"
Songs Like This
I'm British. Didn't like singing it. Cuddly wren? Skimpy vest? Eh?
Best line: "From Malta we'll get eight and Ireland will give ten"
Je T'adore
Blimey, I thought Ugly Girl wouldn't be beaten for least lyrics in ALC. Put some effort in, guys!
Best line: "Ah bein, zut alors"
My Darling
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to turn the silly Israeli entry from 2000 into a tender love song. Full marks for that. But none for ALC.
Best line: "But when I open them you're not there, I'm distraught"
Total Plagiat
Is this the first ever ALC entry about ALC? Well, I think whoever wrote this deserves some kudos.
Best line: "To the Tesco, from whence it has come"
Generacija 1642
Absolute masterpiece... brought life to an old song that had passed me by.
Best line: "The sad old nostalgic fans"
A Little Piece
Well, it's not very original... Take Me To Your Clinic anybody? But I don't mind, cause it's pretty well written, and made me laugh.
Best line: "What's this nipple on my cheek?"
Promotour
Very clever, very good... but I take marks off for the last line... tut tut tut. Should be Stockport.
Best line: "Wasting all their cash in hope of some votes"
Mr ESC
I thought Johnny Logan was Mr ESC... can't imagine him in a dress.
Best line: "Should I have shaved my beard"
Granny On Speed
Lots of plastic surgery in this semi, huh. Although this is quite good, it has more wrinkles than the others - see what I did there... wrinkles, plastic surgery. ;-).
Best line: "Doctor boobjob me"
Semi Final 3
------------
My Wind Machine
Good joke, but it doesn't really extend to a full song. Some bits don't seem to fit, and it doesn't rhyme.
Best line: "This love tonight - electrical".
Food
That's made me hungry, that has. Unfortunately, the repeated food items (pair of pineapples, bunch of grapes...) show that the diet is not varied enough to be healthy.
Best line: "Chocolate bars and beefy brew... pot!".
Water Polo
Ungentlemanly, unsporting conduct.
Best line: "Wearing my speedo, you can see my tool".
Bla Bla
Oh, such a shame we had Llama before. Can't see past it.
Best line: "You beg me all - some comprehension".
One Point
It is rubbish, crap and shameless... but I can't turn down an appeal for a single ickle point. That'd be mean.
Best line: "Give me at least one point, and I will give you two"
Chow Mein
Surreal. Like ones which sound like the original, even if it's mad... it's what I tried to do with Mucky Puppy.
Best line: "If England's famous for something, it's soap-on-a-rope".
He's The Host
ROFL! I bet you love this one, Harrow.
Best line: "Loves the grind, sixty nine".
Let Me Dry
Buy a dishwasher... much easier on everyone.
Best line: "I adore the plates, let's stay best mates".
I'm Into Porn
I normally like rude ones... but there doesn't seem to be much humour in this one.
Best line: "I'm in your dreams, that's why you came".
Not a Mr Nobody
"Scarring people badly" is 6 syllables. "So badly" is 3. Too much, too much, too much, I say.
Best line: "Bruno, you're freaking me"
Every Song Is A Irish Dirge
Highly unoriginal - but it's very well written
Best line: "Dana in a gimp mask, Linda Martin in a basque"
Why Do The Cypriots Cry?
Highly unoriginal - and not so well written
Best line: "Was it because the song was shite"
Kathmandu
(You) can't just put unsung words in brackets just so it makes sense.
Best line: "Suddenly contracted lice"
Let's Get Fat
Rule 1 of ALC: Don't use the word 'fat', or you could find yourself in trouble. I learned that last year. So must the author of this.
Best line: "Eating puddings is not a crime"
My Grand Prix
Bravo... it's so hard to fit the word Eurovision into a song and not make it seem forced. Much respect.
Best line: "And now she just looks like a transvestite slut"
We Give You Farts
Yes, nice and childish. Just not funny enough, I'm afraid.
Best line: "It's easy just eat some very strong cheese"
Strangled
We all love Carola, don't we.
Best line: "And I have confidence that one day you'll be cured"
Gay-Teen Life
That's the first ALC entry this year that's brought a tear to my eye. I want to hug whoever wrote it.
Best line: "Sipping gin with ice, 'her only vice'"
Super Troll
Yes, yes, it's obvious... but it works, I think.
Best line: "I'm here to piss you off"
Save The Pigs
Hang on a minute... is this a veiled 'fat' attack on Jenny?... ah, who cares... it's bloody funny.
Best line: "My big sisters are ham with fries, super sized, bacon pies"
Toblerone
No! Damn you all, making me relive my past crimes! (I so wish I'd wrote this one)
Best line: "My angel, the one that I love, why'd you go away"
High
The story of my life... told you Jonas was right about his guess about Hard Cock's author.
Best line: "I get no sex, it's too complex"
If You All Gave A Little
Can't make this fit. Sorry.
Best line: "Of flesh and skin, or butt you know"
You Say I Pong Again
Nurofen's a painkiller... not a toiletry... but maybe that's not a mistake.
Best line: "And I look like Cybil Fawlty from afar"
Harrow Harrow
Ah, now I know why none of my songs got a good draw... I mean, 3, 6 and 9... I'm as unlucky as Austria. ;-)
Best line: "There ain't no doubting that Dan Harrow is the best"
Seigel
No chiara-angel!
Best line: "I'll bring you victory without wearing thongs"
Direct Finalists
----------------
We've Got No Lubricant
Well, it's quite funny... but there're too many contrived euphemisms (dart, batter, ships and bays) to get any points from me.
Best line: "Ask me why the shops close at freakin' nine".
ALC Nation
How clever... this one must have been really hard to write.
Best line: "Or stripping Croatians".
Forgotten
One single funny idea made to stretch too far... and will get forgotten when the votes come in, I'm afraid.
Best line: "See, you've already forgot".
Paranoia
I thought the first two verses were some big political statement about Israel... then realised I was just paranoid. He he.
Best line: "Moderators deleted my thread"
2" Long
It made me laugh... I love a good cock song. I'd like to see more hard cock in ALC.
Best line: "I've been a faker, yeah, to hide I'm insecure".
Mr Dwarfbody
I suppose it's inevitable that the success of a certain dwarf sex song last year would lead to a gay dwarf sex song this year.
Best line: "Face down, biting on your pillow".
La Sophie Carle
Very funny bridge and chorus. The repetition of the 'put' to get the syllables right is a bit lazy though, isn't it? If it was 'Please put...', I'd have given more points.
Best line: "Eh-oh, Sophie Carle, XXL, Gemma-Jemini".
La Vache Qui Rit, C'est Moi
Babelfish... oh here babelfish... is this song all about cheese?
Best line: "Moooo"
Look At My Bum
Chuckle... yes, this one's quite funny. Another chocolate one.
Best line: "Look at my bum, it is so full of air, that any day, I'll float away".
Rafael
Unfortunately, some bits seemed a bit awkward to me... which is a shame, cause there are some excellent bits.
Best line: "I'm the joke of the messageboard, Barbara Dex Award"
So, if you can guess where my douze is going... you'll find out tomorrow. :-)
- LOL @ "Irish cow"! Now to read the rest... [R] - Yair - 2006-08-10 9:26:30pm
- (Great) reading, Chris! :) [R] - Yair - 2006-08-10 9:45:22pm
- Excellent comments - re ESIATOW - It was a play on words for 'Real McCoy, I just spelt McCaul wrongly!! [R] - David in Hull - 2006-08-10 9:29:58pm
- Ah, I see now... should have worked that out, shouldn't I. [R] - ChrisMcr - 2006-08-10 9:32:35pm
- I agree with a lot you say Chris! Pity you couldn't review your own songs! So here goes: - David in Hull - 2006-08-10 10:02:57pm
Hard Cock From Viagra
Hilarious. Great use of language. But Oh the guilt. I actually tactically voted and downgraded my points for this song (it made no difference as it turned out), only because I was sure it would qualify in a strong semi.
Favourite lines:
Striking down my impotence flaw and
My jap eye is red
Really Really Gay
Not my style of humour - sorry. But the phrasing was excellent!
Favourite line:
Look like a silly billy with your dancing
Mucky Puppy
I think I wrote something like when casting votes 'Toilet humour was over for me 30 years ago - but still very witty'
Favourite line:
Shits, shits, dribble down his arsehole
- Very interesting read, Chris! - Frank - 2006-08-10 9:50:59pm
I even seem to tend to agree with it quite a lot (even though I don't like rude lyrics as much) :)
No, ALCnation wasn't easy to write as the melody doesn't give you much room to fit things in and it has some very definite stresses, that limit you even more. But what's life without a challenge? :)
- I think i have found the 3 out of 4(?) people who - orionas - 2006-08-10 9:55:53pm
voted for I'm a whore! It must be you, Jeremy, Aviad and maybe Javi?
BTW a great review no matter if i agree or not! Good things should be acknowledged! I guess it took a lot of time to write all these!
- There were 6 (and 1 non-participant), and that's the only clue you're getting :) [R] - Harrow - 2006-08-10 9:57:54pm
- Absolutely great review!!! (And I got a ROFL) :-))))))) [R] - Jeremy - Mouss'd Paranoid Pig - 2006-08-10 10:18:15pm
- Actually the idea of connecting "Sense tu" with pigs DOES have to do with Jenny being fat, but not directly... - Jonas - 2006-08-11 2:00:14pm
Myself I don't think she's that fat really... she's big, sure, but she's no Joy Fleming. Besides, I don't usually find jokes about people's weight very funny...
Anyhow, this spring there *was* a lot of people who compared Jenny with a pig. Not only because she's a little bit chubby, but also because there's something in her face, and because last year Marian van de Wal recieved the nickname EL CAVALL (The horse), so Jenny was bound to get an animal nickname too... and the inventors of EL CAVALL (not me) invented EL PORC (the pig).
And that's what gave me the idea :)
- Arty - yay! Clever - yay!!! No Points - Booooo!!!!!!! but thank you for the compliments...... [R] - Niall@work! - 2006-08-14 3:42:49pm
- Now to our participants: ChrisMCR's really really gay votes... - Harrow - 2006-08-11 5:02:45pm
- HERTZ!!! LLAMA!!! And thanks :))) So 99 really is the maximum allowed, eh? :) [R] - Yair - 2006-08-11 5:07:39pm
- LOL!! [R] - [PL]TV HERTZoD - 2006-08-11 5:09:13pm
- LOL! [R] - Jeremy - Mouss'd Paranoid Pig - 2006-08-11 5:10:05pm
- Not to mention the lad won't get points from the last jury today :-/ [R] - Jeremy - Mouss'd Paranoid Pig - 2006-08-11 5:11:55pm
- He should've bribed himself then! :-) [R] - [PL]TV HERTZoD - 2006-08-11 5:16:20pm
- Congratulations Jeremy and Thomas! [R] - orionas - 2006-08-11 5:08:27pm

- Again, thanks for the points Chris! [R] - David in Hull - 2006-08-11 5:55:06pm
- Yay For Pete D's Votes :) - Harrow - 2006-08-11 5:59:13pm
- Congratulations Jeremy, Chris...And what about the pigs? Still no 100 points? [R] - orionas - 2006-08-11 6:01:56pm
- Yay for Jeremy, Chris and Nick! No yay for three digits :( [R] - Yair - 2006-08-11 6:02:04pm
- No three digits is not too bad - as it makes things more exciting! [R] - [PL]TV HERTZoD - 2006-08-11 6:13:36pm
- I fear about 10-13 of us will end with 99 points and have to share the trophy! [R] - Yair - 2006-08-11 6:26:37pm
- Hahahaha :-) [R] - Jeremy - Mouss'd Paranoid Pig - 2006-08-11 6:31:36pm
- For Pete's sake. Thanks!!!!! A very unexpected douze! Congrats Chris & Nick!! :-))) [R] - Jeremy - Mouss'd Paranoid Pig - 2006-08-11 6:07:03pm
- Unexpected! Thanks :) [R] - Frank - 2006-08-11 6:08:44pm
- Congrats Jeremy!! [R] - [PL]TV HERTZoD - 2006-08-11 6:13:16pm
- Jeremy's fortunes are definitely turning! Watch him win this too!! I like both his songs so what the heck. [R] - David in Hull - 2006-08-11 6:22:07pm
- You dear lad :-))) [R] - Jeremy - Mouss'd Paranoid Pig - 2006-08-11 6:45:13pm

After 26 voters 17 entries have gotten a douze. Pigs got 4, Hertz, Inflatable, Speed and the Puppy each got 2 (I hope I counted those right!)
Most supporters is a trie-way tie between My Grand Prix, Llama and Paranoia (15 each).
Avg points for Semi 1 entries is 65.7, Semi 2 60.3 and Semi 3 leads with 71.7.
Only 32.2 for direct finalists.
Avg number of points is 53.9 now and 9 voters.
your ALC-freak
- Wow@direct finalists points! Astonishing. Thx for the info :-) [R] - Jeremy - Mouss'd Paranoid Pig - 2006-08-11 9:24:48pm
- Was probably a lot less before Jonas voted, he was really generous to direct finalists [R] - Yair - 2006-08-11 9:26:04pm
- Indeed. I wasn't :-) [R] - Jeremy - Mouss'd Paranoid Pig - 2006-08-11 9:26:59pm
- Booooo! We don't need you. We have Jonas :)) [R] - Yair - 2006-08-11 9:35:14pm
- ... and the very best day for the wonderful "Vache". Thanks to all voters, great job! [R] - Thomas Moooooo-ssaka! - 2006-08-11 11:47:23pm
Oh no! My first "pointless" day in the ALC voting.

Is there a Mr. Sartre on the MB?
- Always remember the old Swede spreading his wisdom in 92! [R] - Frank - 2006-08-11 11:44:02pm
- LOL! A moron is another trog? [R] - Richard_CT - 2006-08-11 11:48:27pm
- Yes, quite the Shakespeare he was! :) [R] - Frank - 2006-08-11 11:51:57pm
- Damn, I wish I hadn't posted that quite so quickly... - Richard_CT - 2006-08-11 11:55:43pm
... think I could make an ALC lyric out of "A moron is another dog," at least!
But that's okay.... I'm only one chorus away from completeing the first of next year's entries, and it doesn't involve beer, Celine, food or failure.
Just a little interesting and pointless fact about my votes...

OK, I promised to post comments....it will follow later on... I guess :)
BUT!
My top 10 went toe xcactly the same people as olast year. My 12 to Rich and my 10 to Frank, JUST like in 2005. Isn't that funny? :))
We must be ticking some boxes right :) - Frank - 2006-08-12 2:56:25am
I got high votes from you in 2004 too! And I usually end up returning those votes in semi or final :)
Now get those comments ready, mine are for tomorrow :)
Some late comments to my votes from last night :-)

1 point - Mr Dwarfbody
No idea why this is doing so bad. I found it well-written and also quite funny.
2 - Paranoia
It is indeed full of some rather internal things, and many of them I wasn't part of or cannot remember, but still.., it shows that it's a pro who wrote it :)
3 - La Sophie Carle
The chorus is just *so* infective :) Don't really remember the verses, but I keep bursting out "Eeeeo, Sophiiiie Carl" at the strangest moments ;)
4 - Really really gay
One of the smartest approaches word-wise in this ALC. The title on it's own is a big laughter, and the rest of the song doesn't dissapoint :)
5 - Generacija 1642
And now we're approaching those songs that I would all want to give high points to, but couldn't.
This one's really smart and it's hilariously funny considering that there's many MBers that this fits with ;)
6 - Harrow, Harrow
Also a smart way to place with words, and it's not just a smart title but the rest of the song is also really great once you sing it with the song.
7 - The Tasty Moussaka
Perhaps not the msot well-written one lyrically. Sometimes things are difficult to fit, but it's also a very original idea (just to pick that song to write to is!) and it's also one of those I find myself singing at strange points ;)
8 - La vache qui rit, c'est moi
First I just thought "What the hell? Someone writes a lyric in french and thinks anyone's gonna like it?!", but then I read it and realised how brilliant this is :) I mean, one doesn't have to understand a word of french to understand this, one just has to familiar with the brand "La vache qui rit". Guess not everyone is, since it's doing so bad though.
10 - ALC Nation
Brilliant! Nothing here is left half-done, it's truly professional. It's just what an AL should be like (except maybe the theme, it only really works once - this time).
12 - Look at my bum
Even mroe brilliant! I kept lauyghing all the way through this song. Not only is it funny, but it matches the melody perfectly, and I like the fact that it keeps changing every time the chorus comes. And the intro line "Hi doctor, me again - I gained a kilogram" is perfect ;)
So, as you can see, I definatly preferred the direct finalist entries to those who came from the semi-final. My top 3 were finalists, and 6 out of 10 in my top 10.
This is probably simply because my favourites in the semi's didn't go through.
I suppose now I should be allowed to talk about my votes in the semis.
In the first my 12 went to "Mmm...Brain!", in the second to "Generacija 1642" (which did get through though) and in the third to "Bla bla" :) Also none of the entries I gave 10 to got through.
- Cool :)) [R] - Yair - 2006-08-12 10:37:26am
- So the la vache qui rit is the laughing cow?! Now it makes more sense :) [R] - Harrow - 2006-08-12 12:13:47pm
- It even said that in the song, didn't you read through? :) [R] - Yair - 2006-08-12 12:28:16pm
- Luke's inflatable votes... - Harrow - 2006-08-12 5:00:04pm
- Thx Luke for your votes. Congrats to all who scored. [R] - [PL]TV HERTZoD - 2006-08-12 5:04:13pm
- *starts planning the losing reprise again* [R] - Timoteus - 2006-08-12 5:04:58pm
- Congrats Richard! And leading can change within one voter, exciting... Thanks Luke :) [R] - Yair - 2006-08-12 5:11:25pm
- Thanks inflatable Luke! And congrats, Richard Cook! [R] - Frank - 2006-08-12 5:21:47pm
- Irradia pau! Irradia Llum! Aviad's votes... - Harrow - 2006-08-12 5:59:58pm
- HZ!!!!!!!! Vache!!!! [R] - [PL]TV HERTZoD - 2006-08-12 6:01
