Party starts at 9:30 BST
Woop woop x
We're ready to serve
I'll have probably fallen asleep in my chair by then oop but hoping for a Q!
yay!
Marie Davidson to qualify otherwise we've got seven little letters to spell out x
Here's hoping to be back in a final, I miss it x
Not sure what to expect here but hoping for 3 on the trot!
SF1 will be presented first.
Conoria has received a 15% deduction for voting late. No submission was received from Scotland 2 or Ojnoj
Oh no at Scotland 2, one of my favourites but not sure I can see it qualifying with a deduction :'(
What a shame Scotland 2 was a huge discovery for me! It's giving black midi which sounds destined to smash... I think they had the best entry to date ngl!
Damn one of those got votes from me - was definitely a grower
I blame Taylor swift personally
Whos ready?
Mama gonna try something a little new this time and is gonna reveal each of the 11 DNQs in reverse finishing order. If you are not handed your deportation paperwork, congratulations you are through to the final.
Coming in 31st and taking home the first wooden spoon of the evening with 15 points is...
Ojnoj
The 33% deduction for Taylor Swift obsession didn't imapct the fate of what was the host nations 12 pointer with it gathering just 11 more points from other sources.
Not yet another Italian ballad coming last
I blame the foreign language curse
With 21 points, in 30th position it is....
Scotland 2
Another deduction that has not impacted the final result
Glad it wasn't just denied by the deduction but that deserved much better, really nice ballad - it was only my 1 pointer but that's more than I usually give entries like this (and Ojnoj entries in general)!
edit: and likewise Scotland 2 not being affected by the deduction, hope they will still vote in the final. That was my 10 pointer.
Ojnoj got a few points from me. Sad to see it eliminated
ah a nice method of semi revealing, very comfortable (until later ofc)
shame about Scotland 2, but I figured that was slightly doomed - hope it's not a sign for the other rock
Scotland 2 was a great building rock epic, didn't think it had much of a chance (and even less so after deduction) but a shame.
Loved Scotland 2, gah, my 8 pointer!
Earning themselves 25 points on their way to 29th is...
Conoria
And that's all three deductions out
Jesus in the last contest all my countries votes qualified & in this one I’ve lost 2 already!
Taking home 28th position and 29 points it is...
Herbilore
the timing
In 27th with 30 points and losing the tie break is...
Chestoria
Also with 30 points but this time enjoying a 10 courtesy of the host and therefore finishing in 26th position is
Niceland
I did like the Niceland song, gave it a few points, that's a shame.
Slight jump to 36 points for our 25th place finisher...
Holland-Oats
24th position coming home with 38 points this month is
Kylienips
Holland-Oats were initially my 1 pointer but then got knocked down a bit after relistening, shame they couldn't return with a qualifier though. Does not sound too dissimilar from his work with his more famous band x
Kylienips are the third of my votes to drop out, got 2 points from me - I guess I can see why it might not stand out the most but thought it was a good Grimes-meets-PinkPantheress esque banger, aw.
WOW @ Kylienips DNQ-ing. Was one of my faves
Time for things to get spicy
20th position picked up 44 points
Taking home 41 points and 23rd position is.....
Zanmatony
Well looks like all my points are going to semi final 2……
A lack of 10's on their way to 43 points and losing the tie break to finish 22nd is...
Séyetana
oh Zanmatony
Oh crap, what!?
Zanmatony was great, I gave it 5 points iirc?
Taking a 10 to top the 43 point tie, but still losing out on qualification by one point in 21st is......
Eastovka
Commiserations to our 11 deportees, congratulations to the 20 states who have had their visa extended.
I've lost my 10-pointer (Kylieniips), 4-pointer (Niceland), and 3-pointer (Zanmatony) so far

Ah well, it was an overdue outcome, and I’m delighted at some of the qualifiers this month so well done the rest of you!
I'm happy to have had my visa checked and extended, Tulisa will be pleased
So, semi final 2 had a full suite of voters
BUT
Pagasa and Botanikka hand theirs in late...
ah this year started off so well damn
Aww no Eastovka was really close to getting 1 point from me :x here's hoping it was something I also liked that kept them out then.
Yay for averting flop era again and being back in the final and congrats to Mothertopia for a first qualifier x

With a total of 6 points, taking home our second wooden spoon in 31st for SF2 is....
Cor Lupus
Well done to all the qualifers, and commiserations to the DNQs, semi 1 was such a strong one.
Very happy to have taken my favourite song of the year through to the final, after chickening out last month.
Walking away with 9 points on their way to 30th place was...
Skall
OMG, wtf at Cor Lupus.
And Skall was magical. NINE points! I'd have given it 12 if I'd been in the semi.
let me slip this in before this thread's derailed...
Very pleased to be through and some very good results on the whole! Most of my favourites through though two quite sad losses.
05 // Kylienips // Mörmaid - Wet Summer
01 // Zanmatony // Infected Mushroom - Change The Formality
Yobnedorica qualifying *___
Landing 11 points on their way to 29th place is
Land of DW
in 28th position with 18 points is
Kyratine
Aw sad to lose Zanmatony and Séyetana. The former I thought would be safe to some degree.
these scores are low
Part of me feels like that Cor Lupus result post is just trolling Cody but if it is real that is certainly one way to end a long qualification streak *_*
Poor brave GDRN flopping again but at least she wasn't last this time x
Skall deserved better than a single figure result buuut I did think it was kind of disappointing for the names involved in it whoops (especially Amtrac)
Taking a small deduction on their way to a final total of 24 points and 27th place is
Pagasa
If I'm not mistaken I think this is my lowest placement in a semi yet.
Coming in 26th with 25 points is....
Lotunia
08 Zanmatony // Infected Mushroom - Change The Formality
04 Kylienips // Mörmaid - Wet Summer
Infected Mushroom?! I loved it. Shocked at both of these not qualifying.
Lost four of mine in SF1
12 XX
10 XX
8 Holland-Oats
7 XX
6 Ojnoj
5 Conoria
4 XX
3 XX
2 Chestoria
1 XX
11th Kylienips
Lotunia were my 5 pointer these points totals are seriously low!
Lotunia 2nd in the semi for me, wasn't too confident it'd be through but still boooo.
(Pagasa also weren't far off my top 10 of the semi and think it's one that could have grown on me further)
With the exact opposite of 26 points for 25th place its
Altyr Muunilinst
Not really a surprise given the quality of the semi sadly
'Love To Die' was definitely something different for Altyr, have to give them that...! (it was actually a top 5 hit in PopJustice's contest somehow but can't say I'm shocked that the same support did not materialise here x)
24th place with 30 points is....
St. Burbia
Taking 32 points on their way to 23rd
Aesthetica
Coming in 22nd position with a frankly inexplicable points total of more than zero 38 is
Sovarasma
Not Mary Wallopers out
that's my potential to finish the top in YTD gone then
Aethetica oh noo two of my top 4 are gone wth
my 8 pointer out - oh that's not
Sovarasma were 9th in the semi for me, robbed of the possibility of a barnstomper back to back of them and Yobnedorica in the final x
43 points were needed to qualify, and taking home just 42 and therefore 21st place is...
Suedeonia
Again commiserations to our deportees and congratulations to those granted visa extensions
Aww, poor Blarney Stone </3 Although you were braver than me to send that!
Thanks everyone who followed along live. The final thread is up, vote to your hearts content, imma go pass out.
Glad to see Tartford through, was surprised to see that one getting a couple of DNQ predictions.
East Rukahavian catching a break this month too + Freedonia (unsurprisingly) finally getting a second qualifier!
Lost these from my semi 2 ranking:
2nd Lotunia
9th Sovarasma
13th Pagasa
15th Skall
18th Aesthetica
19th Kyriatine
22nd St. Burbia
25th Cor Lupus
28th Land of DW
29th Suedeonia
30th Altyr Muunilinst
So that's 5 of my top 10s across both semis gone, could be worse, oops at losing my silver medallist in both though </3
Well done to all the qualifiers! Nice to see the likes of Tartford and East Rukahavian in.
Some sad DNQs this time but it's always the way.
Qualification streak top 10/11 as at BJSC 164 (underlined nations had matched or beaten their longest streak to date as at BJSC 161, streaks that are longer when counting nonconsecutive participations ('broken streaks') are in italics where applicable):
01 44 Hendinia (broken streak: 49)
02 30 Cumulonimbia
03 12 Kathaldazia
04 9 Aeroche
05 8 Fljótavík
05 8 Kluminican Republic
07 7 Bronzil
07 7 FARC
07 7 FSR Rontvia
07 7 Harmonica
07 7 Taahino (broken streak: 8)
If broken streaks are counted, the only other ones above 7 I know about are Cadelicia on 10 and Quintessa on 9, so even when combined with Taahino's 8, the other four nations on 7 remain in the top 10.
Cor Lupus end their streak at 32, just 1 short of matching their national record of 33!
I-
This… might be a good time to take a break

Thanks once again to anyone who pointed Zanmatony this month, it wasn’t to be, but that’s ok.
Yeah, another J Flop unsurprisingly. Thanks for the votes anyway, everyone.
NINE points lmao you guys just don't get Washed Out, it's not me it's you(s) sorry x
Like I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel about this or how to put it into words
It’s a mixture of things, like I haven’t been feeling any of the semis the past few months vs maybe a year ago where I’ve left listenthrougs thinking “omg this is the best thing I’ve ever heard!!!” so the burnout has been there, and these results really deflated me and made me feel disillusioned with the whole thing. I kinda hoped that some people would find that it was a good discovery for them but the numbers don’t lie so I’m left feeling kinda empty, as if I haven’t really contributed anything to the contest lately (other than being a whipping boy which like… 😵💫😵💫😵💫)
Not sure where else to go tbh, if I feel like I found something that I absolutely need to send I might go for it and muster up the energy to do it but it may be curtains for me 🤷♂️
Sovarasma and St. Burbia out.....okay, no fun allowed I guess.....
I can at least take solace in the fact Trifoski conquered the largest of obstacles yet again. Did we ever complain? Nope, we knuckled down, we persevered and we DEFIED
Holland-Oats back in full swing with our signature DNQ
P H E W
A mixture of my own pessimism and Uhsting confirming the need for pessimism really had me coming into this thread with a tense stomach. Was so sure I wasn’t gonna wind up in 22nd or something. Very relieved to have (probably) sneaked through.
Oh phew, I wasn't as confident as I'd have liked to be about qualifying, I wouldn't normally mind but since it's my anniversary I'm glad to be through! Surreal to be in the top 10 streaks atm, guessing my record is 8.
7 // Holland-Oats // Love Fame Tragedy - Don't You Want To Sleep With Someone Normal?
5 // Niceland // Galactus Jack - Words
3 // Herbilore // AYALA - Sorry For Nothing
2 // Conoria // Rainbow Kitten Surprise - Overtime (feat. Kacey Musgraves)
Semi 1 wasn't my favorite but I'm still sad to lose 4 from my votes, especially Holland-Oats! Hoping Semi 2 will be more to my tastes.
wasn’t really feeling my semi anyway lol
thanks for hosting despite being poorly Silas, grab a lemsip today and hope you feel better..
thanks for putting Singerpurear's dark track through, I literally had never heard it before 2 weeks ago, and it just popped up on Youtube suggestions I might like. I did like!
Sadly, I thought semi 2 might be a "nice" bloodbath, too many decent tracks to vote for and we lost these (but also some others we couldnt point):
12 points: Q
10 points: Q
8 points: Q
7 points: Suedeonia // The Auteurs - The Rubettes
6 points: Q
5 points: Altyr Muunilinst // SLASHSTREET BOYS - Love To Die
4 points: Q
3 points: Q
2 points: Q
1 points: Q
Where is the BJSC Redemption Island
Just checking the results now and I'm so grateful for this Q When I first competed in BJSC, I never would've expected a Q streak of six
I did lose two great songs from my votes + Sovarasma & St. Burbia were really close to getting a mealworm
+12 Q
+10 Q
+8 Q
+7 Q
+6 Q
+5 Q
+4 Lotunia // Infinity Song - Slow Burn
+3 Q
+2 Suedeonia // The Auteurs - The Rubettes

11th Sovarasma
12th St. Burbia
18th Pagasa
19th Skall
21st Kyriatine
22nd Cor Lupus
25th Land of DW
29th Altyr Muunilinst
30th Aesthetica
Thanks Phil for hosting, hope u feel better very soon!
I lost Scotland 2 from my vote (8 pts), that was a fantastic discovery and a shame it couldn't reach the final.
8 is still Harmonica's record indeed - sorry again for the continuing lack of full Q streak updates, I've got a couple of months behind with updating my spreadsheet again so need to find a couple of hours to focus on getting it back up to date again soon whoops.
Altyr song was fun, so that was a loss from my votes!!!
Happy to see Tartford Q'ing...he's been killing it with a retro songs!!!
Not too bad results from semi 2 lost my 3 & 1 pointers (Suedeonia & Cor Lupus respectively) but then Sovarasma & Aesthetica I had ranked 11th and 12th so could have grown in the final week.
However semi 1 dint go so well. I had earmarked 13 songs I liked and 5 of them were booted out...
But nice to qualify to keep the 2024 quali streak in tact for now.
Bit late to the party but from SF2 I've only lost 1 song from my points finshers:
1 Land of DW // Mathea - 2x
Also sad to see Kyriatine, Skall and Altyr to DNQ. They were all between 11th-14thin my list - just missed out on points
