    I don't like the music people vote for in this nowadays :p

    We need more people to push the Pop through to the final :)

    I think what it is is people are taking it too serious these days looking for masterpieces rather than voting for what they like.

    I always vote for what I like - it is just others that don't agree with me :D

    I have to question whether people voting in this actually watch and enjoy Eurovision itself, the songs that do well here would never do well in the real thing!

    That was kind of my point last contest, the songs that seem to be winning nowadays don't seem very Eurovisionary.

    Still I think the pop is coming back into fashion here what with Kazakhstan coming second 2 contests ago and Pastora narrowly missing out on winning the last contest, even Softengine are more pop then indie in my book so things could be turning again.

    Anyways, how is the creating of the DSFE56 show thing you was talking about Pooley? Please don't say it's been abandoned.

    Sorry :(. I'm trying my best here. Keep in mind I have to take out 10 countries and Nagarno Karabakh and Kosovo are only two countries out of ten so if you wanted me to switch it, eight of the countries I already had would still be out...

    What countries do you suggest to take out? :)

    By the way I have no idea how to make sure everyone only has 1 song in each QF.

    It's easy enough to do, people had 3 countries in the last contest. The simplest way is if anyone is drawn 2 in the same QF just switch them around with a similar strength country in another QF. :)

    You are aware that this will only bring the total up to 55 countries, so 5 will still need to be dropped?

    If we are having to drop 5 I would drop the 2 new ones you bought in (Nagarno Karabkh and Corsica - we probably don't need a 3rd France) then also Kosovo and maybe Kazakhstan and Algeria.

    As for how to make sure everyone has only one song in a QF not really sure how to help there, I never found it a problem but there isn't really any sort of formula or way I think I can help with that.

    EDIT: But I see you've noticed that, so no need to drop any countries now. :)
