Looking forward to it all unfolding later *.* I honestly have no expectations for 'Circles'. Just happy to be back in the final, really.
Posted by: danG 29th April 2018, 12:03 PM
won't be here live as I'm seeing the new Avengers film but looking forward to this, hopefully I'll get a top 20.
Posted by: Bré 29th April 2018, 12:38 PM
Here for me and my fellow #longsongbloc comrades to slay x (I hope I can at least get into the 20s).
Still thinking Niceland is the most likely winner but it feels pretty open again.
Posted by: Cody💧Slayberry 29th April 2018, 02:16 PM
I need this, I need something to distract me for the day so thank you
Gonna predict a Niceland/Aeroche/Cowtermont battle with Aeroche taking it by the skin of their teeth but wouldn’t begrudge the other two.
Posted by: Harve 29th April 2018, 04:48 PM
I'm mainly here for Rolloland.
Posted by: Liаm 29th April 2018, 04:54 PM
I'm thinking Aeroche or Nicleand to win but it could be something totally random
Pornoo for top 20 plz, top 10 as a few predix have said would be nice *.*

Well I'm very interested to see if all the hype that I've enjoyed and encouraged about my entry throughout the contest actually will translate into my best result for two years. Would be really cool to be back in the top 10 again.
Posted by: BridgeCow 29th April 2018, 05:03 PM
Hoping for a double top 10 tonight *.* (possibly even a double top 5???)
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 29th April 2018, 05:05 PM
Maybe coming second last in Club Bizarre is an omen that I'll come second full stop here?
Posted by: LexC 29th April 2018, 05:24 PM
As a warm up to tonight's proceedings, please enjoy last month's winners Metroplane feat. Bree Runway to the stage!
Posted by: Jade 29th April 2018, 05:37 PM
Tune *.* my favourite winner of the year so far. (I gave 'Sofia' one more point in its final but last month was a stronger contest)

Lowdown on tonights results reveal:
~ We will be going through the countries votes in performance order of the Final starting with FARC and ending with Espen ~ All of the votes of the non-qualifiers will be amalgamated into one "Purple Wave" of Votes to be revealed at the end. ~ Of our finalists, Oslol and Taahino will receive a deduction of 33% to their score at the end of the voting. Pupok and Daehun also failed to vote. ~ Due to mitigating circumstances, only Oslol and, regretably, Daehun will receive bans from BJSC 105. ~ But where will BJSC 105 be held? Stay tuned to find out!
Posted by: Iz 29th April 2018, 05:56 PM
a purple wave? I am so ready for that.
And that should mean my votes are up pretty soon, yay

I feel like this is infringing on my copyright on 'red tide' xo Cool cool at us doing this again though, my votes shall be up pretty early for once then.
P.S. In this universe if you don't have points, you don't exist!

SEYETANA
QUOTE
Hey, here are the votes from Séyetana:
18 Taahino: AmaLee & dj-Jo - Echo god I knew that AmaLee was good with her geek-pop arsenal of English-language anime songs (I recommend A Cruel Angel's Thesis and SAO's Courage if nothing else) but the dubstep on this is incredible and I had no idea she'd done anything like a vocaloid cover. Great discovery, thank you Lindsey, your best entry for a long time.
15 Niceland: Built By Titan - Broken Love (ft. Starxs) I said this about Varanasi but there's a music video that reminds me even more of my time out there last year, and it's this one! <3 I feel like though it's very impossible I must have been to at least one of the places there. But that's just secondary to this absolute monster of a dance tune, very addictive and something I'm very behind (potentially beating me but who are we kidding, I'm not really in this fight, although it's been nice to have good odds again)
13 Quintessa: ARCHIS - Let Me Love That said, it would be nice if I got my biggest success since I sent these guys in the contest they reappear. Let Me Love being in here has reinspired me to seek out their album and this and their whole repetoire is the sort of fantastic cinematic pop I seek after, big love to this.
12 Terra Avium: Mytischi - Cassiopeia incredibly interesting loud instrumentalish song, I like very much, the riff is so compelling and give you lots of points yay
11 Cor Lupus: Jorn van Denyhoven - Rising High incredibly interesting trance song, best Cor Lupus entry for a long time, do more like this because this is glorious trance
10 Persephonia: Set And Setting - Coping do more post-metal it's very becoming of you, the waves this track goes through. The top half of my votes are very instrumental-tune heavy, aren't they. As it should be.
the rest are less instrumental-heavy but continue this contest's great theme of strong dance and slightly weird and wonderful pop/german rock/retro electro-swing: 09 Rolloland: Propaganda - Das Testaments Des Mabuse 08 Cowtermont: NWYR - Ends Of Time 07 FSR Rontvia: Bart & Baker feat. The Billy Bros Orchestra - We Are What We Are (Wolfgang Lohr Remix) 06 BuzzJack Mountain: Amélie - Marbella 05 Mosquetania: The Brocks - My Love 04 Singerpurear: Ria Mae - Bend 03 Desbuanda: Middle Kids - Mistake 02 South Danaelanda: Andrew Rayel (feat. Lola Blanc) - Horizon 01 Bhangra: Molly Sterling - Plain Static
also good, I wish you and your countries luck: Aelandor: Kiasmos - Looped Bøtanikkä: KAAZE feat. Elle Vee - Opera Aeroche: LLLL - For F (feat. Calendula & Meishi Smile) Ojnoj: Alison Wonderland - Easy Unovia: Sanni - Pornoo Espen: The Pirouettes - Tu peux compter sur moi
Niceland and Rolloland seem to be the early leaders of the pack but at this early stage nothing is certain!

I don't currently have any other metal potentials but I have sent 3 of them in the last 14 contests so I'm sure it probably won't be long until the next one ~

First time I haven't pointed you in the final I think! It's weird because I do like and love other stuff those guys have done. Didn't quite click the way I wanted it to though it's decent enough.

PERSEPHONIA
QUOTE
Aloha from Persephonia, here are our final botes ~ thank you to New Lexico for your hospitality despite the cruel trick you played on us during the semi results. x
Making up our medal positions this month are two countries with their best result in the Persephonian televote ever, and one which is probably less surprising. Aelandor continue to outdo themselves in 2018 and now get their first ever top marks from us, with further proof that Janus Rasmussen is a flawless musician who can do no wrong, pure bliss of a choon <3 Jadakissnia we welcome back to the final with more medal points as usual (their 4th straight qualifier to come in our top 3 lawl) with 15 points for their archive dnb anthem, while Cowtermont have quickly lodged their first medallist for us with 13 points going to their epic Porter Robinson-alike.
Three more countries also get their highest points from us to date: Mosquetania, of course appearing in their first final, have smashed it out of the ballpark and get 12 points from us straight away with an addictive 80s-synth-indie-dance-pop banger; Bhangra are the recipients of probably our biggest ever U-turn as they walk away with 10 points (double their previous best from us) after at one point being in our bottom 5 of the entire final, the song eventually made sense for us though, beautiful stuff; and Aesthetica are also in our top 10 of a final for the first time, claiming 6 points with a BANGER and clearly the best thing to come out of Drag Race. It is with great reluctance that we also have to give 3 points to our troll of a host New Lexico for a solid ethnic bop.
Other points: 11 to an on-brand spooky delight from Terra Avium; 9 points to a lovely vibey obscurity from Aeroche (their latest winner? lol); Rolloland was a bit of a slow burner for us but ultimately we can't resist a 10 minute song so 8 points their way it is; 7 points go to Espen's lovely resurrection of The Pirouettes; banging opera house is worth 5 for Bøtanikkä; banging electro swing is worth 4 for FSR Rontvia; not so banging but still pretty awesome shoegaze is worth 2 for Trifoski; and our votes are rounded out with a mealworm point for Séyetana which was another slow grower but ultimately just scraped in to ensure we're not letting down #metalbloc this month.
Non-ramble version:
18 Aelandor // Kiasmos - Looped 15 Jadakissnia // Adam F - Circles 13 Cowtermont // NWYR - Ends Of Time
12 Mosquetania // The Brocks - My Love 11 Terra Avium // Mytischi - Cassiopeia 10 Bhangra // Molly Sterling - Plain Static 9 Aeroche // LLLL - For F (feat. Meishi Smile and Calendula) 8 Rolloland // Propaganda - Das Testaments Des Mabuse: The Third Side 7 Espen // The Pirouettes - Tu Peux Compter Sur Moi 6 Aesthetica // Shea Couleé - Cocky (feat. Lila Star and The Vixen) 5 Bøtanikkä // KAAZE - Opera (feat. Elle Vee) 4 FSR Rontvia // Bart&Baker - We Are What We Are (Wolfgang Lohr Remix) (feat. The Billy Bros Orchestra) 3 New Lexico // IZA - Ginga (feat. Rincon Sapiência) 2 Trifoski // Hatchie - Sugar & Spice 1 Séyetana // Beyond The Black - Night Will Fade
Commiserations: 16th Niceland // Built By Titan - Broken Love (feat. Starxs) 17th Buzzjack Mountain // Amélie - Marbella 18th Suedeonia // Jane Weaver - The Architect 19th Vülkyria // AMY MIYÚ and Rochelle - All Good 20th Tartford // Post Precious - Lose Myself 21st Tinnmark // HUMAN - HIGHER
it is with regret that we just miss out on giving Niceland their first points as well but you probably didn't need them anyway
And a diplomatic incident is avoided as Persephonia grant the hosts points! Elsewhere, Niceland retain their lead but only by a very precarious 8 points.

I felt a bit bad for cutting Niceland out of my votes at the last second as I'm still yet to vote for them in a final... but on the other hand, it also means I am not the one to give in (yet) in our little game of 'who will vote for each other first'

FSR RONTVIA
QUOTE
Hello New Lexico, this is Ricardo Delta calling from the RTVN Concert Hall with the results of the Rontvian vote. I'm watching the show live with 20,000 fans here in FSR Rontvia's second city Klurren. Thank you for an amazing show – while we went home empty-handed after last month's nail-biter, we were nevertheless thrilled to see New Lexico take the prize and it's been a fantastic evening of entertainment!
Many of our favourites went out in the semis this month, and a particular mention goes to Harmonica, which appears to have suffered from 'wrong-semi syndrome' and would surely have been top 10 in the final had it made it through.
It was, nevertheless, a high quality final and we have to offer commiserations to Rolloland, Trifoski, Espen, Bøtanikkä and Cowtermont, who all missed our votes by a whisker with some great entries.
But the Rontvian televoters and professional jury have spoken, and here is the combined top 15, and our points for this month:
18 Points: Singerpurear: Ria Mae – Bend 15 Points: Cor Lupus: Jorn van Denyhoven - Rising High 13 Points: Seyetana: Beyond The Black - Night Will Fade 12 Points: Desbuanda: Middle Kids – Mistake 11 Points: Ojnoj: Alison Wonderland – Easy 10 Points: Niceland: Built By Titan - Broken Love (ft. Starxs) 9 Points: Aelandor: Kiasmos – Looped 8 Points: Jadakissnia: Adam F – Circles 7 Points: Aeroche: LLLL - For F (feat. Calendula & Meishi Smile) 6 Points: Cadelicia: Sabella - Fortress (Blinkie Remix) 5 Points: Quintessa: ARCHIS - Let Me Love 4 Points: South Danaelanda: Andrew Rayel (feat. Lola Blanc) – Horizon 3 Points: Taahino: AmaLee & dj-Jo – Echo 2 Points: Oslol: Janice - You Only Say You Love Me In The Dark 1 Point: Suedeonia: Jane Weaver - The Architect
Thank you and goodnight!

QUOTE
Hello, the stars are aligned and the Libra moon has stirred waves of emotions as it has squared both Mars and Pluto. Under tonight's Sagittarian moon, we present the votes of Terra Avium as the sun trines earthly but retrograde Saturn
18; Aelandor: Kiasmos – Looped 15; Rolloland: Propaganda - Das Testaments Des Mabuse 13; Persephonia: Set And Setting – Coping 12; Cor Lupus: Jorn van Denyhoven - Rising High 11; Aeroche: LLLL - For F (feat. Calendula & Meishi Smile) 10; FSR Rontvia: Bart & Baker feat. The Billy Bros Orchestra - We Are What We Are (Wolfgang Lohr Remix) 09; Quintessa: ARCHIS - Let Me Love 08; Suedeonia: Jane Weaver - The Architect 07; Jadakissnia: Adam F - Circles 06; Niceland: Built By Titan - Broken Love (ft. Starxs) 05; Mosquetania: The Brocks - My Love 04; Taahino: AmaLee & dj-Jo – Echo 03; Espen: The Pirouettes - Tu peux compter sur moi 02; Trifoski: Hatchie - Sugar & Spice 01; Bøtanikkä: KAAZE feat. Elle Vee – Opera
Mercury made an angle towards Venus, which meant that good things would come from this final and they certainly did, but it also meant that we could not vote for all our favourites, apologies to these:
Cowtermont: NWYR - Ends Of Time BuzzJack Mountain: Amélie – Marbella New Lexico: IZA – Ginga Seyetana: Beyond The Black - Night Will Fade Tartford: Post Precious - Lose Myself
And here's hoping the constellations can bring only the most luminous stars to our own fortunes tonight, thanks very much!
As carmic retribution for trying to enable a Cody drama-free Semi Reveal, Cor Lupus have now joined Niceland on the summit of the points table!

Ooh thank you Chez and Oliver for adding to my points tally! I'm really surprised but pleased by the amount of people who have voted for 'Circles' so far, wasn't really expecting that much support outside of the #dancebloc.

SINGERPUREAR
QUOTE
"Hello and good evening all, with gracious thanks to our fab hosts New Lexico, here are the results of the Singerpurear BJSC app voters, following compulsory installation into every mobile phone, and compulsory voting. It has health benefits to be forced to listen to 37 songs in a row...
Condolences to Harmonica, who shock DNQ'd unfairly from semi 1, and Land Of DW and Kim & Ricky Wilde being booted out. Ageism! These are our points:
1 point: Espen: The Pirouettes - Tu peux compter sur moi 2 points: Aelandor: Kiasmos - Looped 3 points: South Danaelanda: Andrew Rayel (feat. Lola Blanc) - Horizon 4 points: Cor Lupus: Jorn van Denyhoven - Rising High 5 points: Cowtermont: NWYR - Ends Of Time 6 points: FSR Rontvia: Bart & Baker feat. The Billy Bros Orchestra - We Are What We Are (Wolfgang Lohr Remix) 7 points: Bøtanikkä: KAAZE feat. Elle Vee - Opera 8 points: Hushkanukia: Serena - Safari 9 points: Suedeonia: Jane Weaver - The Architect 10 points: Trifoski: Hatchie - Sugar & Spice 11 points: Tartford: Post Precious - Lose Myself 12 points: Quintessa: ARCHIS - Let Me Love 13 points: Tinnmark: HUMAN - HIGHER
runners-up goes to the best new song in the competition and a worthy winner, fingers-crossed
15 points: Niceland: Built By Titan - Broken Love (ft. Starxs)
Sadly for Niceland our love for old classics doesn't allow us not to give full points to the epic Propaganda, even with the slightly lesser second half extended into a perfect single-edit of Dr Mabuse which peaked at 2 in our charts way back in 1984.
18 points: Rolloland: Propaganda - Das Testaments Des Mabuse
30 Suedonia 29 New Lexico 27 Espen 27 South Danaelanda 23 Jupiterdonia 20 Vulkyria 4 Ramrynia
Aaaaaaand there goes the close race! Or is this Niceland surge only a temporary occurrence before one of those other thirsty hoes in the top 5 snatches their spot?

A medal position vote for the hosts sends the stadium into raptures of applause. Meanwhile Niceland could best be described as ahead but not way out ahead.

Is this turning into a fight for second place? Neither Cor Lupus in silver nor Seyetana in bronze seem able to make up significant enough ground to vault over the leaders. Also the world is stunned by Ryan giving 18 points to a National Final reject!

This BJSC has been unofficially fabulous. Much like the (not so sexy) LexC
18 Rolloland - fab ahead of its time 1984 track which just had to get our 18, epic, dark ,dramatic and I guess parts of it would qualify as dance too! Had already heard Dr Mabuse before the contest so that helped. 15 Cor Lupus - Excellent trance tune, one of the best newish trance tracks I have heard. 13 Mosquetania - Felt sorry for you because of you only having a spotify entry so bumped you up a tiny bit but amazing progressive dance track anyway which I really enjoyed. 12 Terra Avium - Slow and dramatic with house song, a wall of sound which is relentless. 11 Persephonia - great progressive metal instrumental 10 Trifoski - In style, this reminds me of the stuff I remember hearing on the radio when I was young in the late 90s so all in all a great 90s-esque nostalgic sounding indie tune. 9 Cowtermont - Great progressive dance track, has a lot of atmosphere to it in the quieter parts, great vocal too. 8 Bøtanikkä - Excellent big room track, we liked the dark brooding verses and of course the drop was good too! 7 Seyetana - Really lovely song, great atmosphere and emotion to it. 6 Bhangra - Very powerful song, even though we wouldn't usually vote for this style of music it really stood out for us in its genre. 5 South Danaelanda - Good trance tune, the climax parts do sound big 4 Taahino - An excellent change for Taahino, and I do like some chiptune! 3 Suedeonia - Nice synthpop tune, the background synths remind me of Messages by OMD which is a great thing of course. 2 Aeroche - This is a nice dance tune, I like the relaxing vocal in it 1 FARC - Nice drum and bass production from Rudimental, and Thandi is a good singer

I’m Mirai Nagasu, and while I’m preparing for Dancing With The Stars and Alan is bust getting sweaty somewhere, I’m gonna be presenting some votes! “Mirai” stands for “the future” in Japanese, and I’m confident in a brighter future, not just in this contest, but for everything.
But enough about the future, let’s talk about now.

...and that’s pretty much it. Cutting close for some points are:
12 POINTS | Ria Mae - Bend (Singerpurear) 11 POINTS | SANNI - Pornoo (Unovia) 10 POINTS | Serena - Safari (Hushkanukia) 09 POINTS | Andrew Rayel f/Lola Blanc - Horizon (South Danaelanda) 08 POINTS | Post Precious - Lose Myself (Tartford) 07 POINTS | Amélie - Marbella (Buzzjack Mountain) 06 POINTS | AMY MIYÚ & Rochelle - All Good (Vulkyria) 05 POINTS | Thandi Phoenix - My Way (FARC) 04 POINTS | Janice - You Only Say You Love Me In The Dark (Oslol) 03 POINTS | Built By Titan f/Starxs - Broken Love (Niceland) 02 POINTS | Antonia - Tango (Jupiterdonia) 01 POINTS | Shea Couleé f/Lila Star and The Vixen - Cocky (Aesthetica)
Now just who got the big ones?
13 POINTS | NWYR - Ends Of Time (Cowtermont)
15 POINTS | AmaLee and dj-Jo - ECHO (Taahino)
18 POINTS | LLLL f/Meishi Smile and Calendula - For F (Aeroche)
Thanks for an amazing night and good luck to all the contestants! And on Monday... you’ll know where to catch me. I just hope Adam doesn’t pour a ton of glitter on me...
Unless I do it myself. Bye guys.

Good evening. Prosperity calling. We would like to thank New Lexico for doing such a fantastic job as hosts of the 104th contest. The standard of songs was high this month and the Rolloland jury could find no room in their votes for Espen,Cor Lupus,Singerpurear and Mosquetania. Here are the songs that they liked the best:
1pt to Terra Avium - Mytischi - Cassiopeia 2pts to Trifoski - Hatchie - Sugar & Spice 3pts to Cowtermont - NWYR - Ends Of Time 4pts to Tinnmark - Human - Higher 5pts to Jadakissnia - Adam F - Circles 6pts to Desbuanda - Middle Kids - Mistake 7pts to Taahino - AmaLee & dj-Jo - Echo 8pts to Niceland - Built By Titan - Broken Love 9pts to Botanikka - Kaaze - Opera 10pts to Suedeonia - Jane Weaver - The Architect 11pts to Oslol - Janice - You Only Say You Love Me In The Dark 12pts to Seyetana - Beyond The Black - Night Will Fade
13pts to Aeroche - LLLL - For F
15pts to Persephonia - Set And Setting - Coping
And our 18pts go to Bhangra - Molly Sterling - Plain Static
Seyetana edge ahead into second place but surely Niceland have already got this, right?

Yes,Plain Static is a stunning song which gets better every time I hear it. It should be doing better here.
Well, now I've revealed my standings on all the songs, I've unwittingly revealed that this Niceland-Seyetana top 2 is all a result of my riggery. But have I succeeded?

Actual double-figure points :cheeseblock: thanks so much Jeff! I think you must be my second biggest stan in 2018 thus far after Persephonia as you've given all of my qualifiers double-figure points, slay.
Have I really lmao!! Well when your entries are this good

SOUTH DANAELANDA
QUOTE
Hello, this is Sir Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa calling for South Danaelanda, or to use the native dialect; Dánælandie de Só. The mobile app votes have been counted up and we can now reveal our scores. But before we do I would like to announce that we are now in peace talks with Dánælandie de Nó and a potential reunification could happen as soon as next month. We extend our love love peace peace to the rest of the nations voting tonight and our graciá to those who have voted for our Andrew Rayel and Lola Blanc.
Scoring 13 póix with a witch house banger, a genre we do not usually get too excited over but this one is rather brilliant, are Aviá de Terré!
Scoring 15 póix with a beautiful piece of uplifting trance are fellow dance bloc nation Cór Lupii!
And scoring 18 póix with a proper dance banger and in our medal positions for the first time in a long while are Vülkyríe
18 Vülkyria: AMY MIYÚ & Rochelle - All Good 15 Cor Lupus: Jorn van Denyhoven - Rising High 13 Terra Avium: Mytischi - Cassiopeia 12 Cowtermont: NWYR - Ends Of Time 11 Bøtanikkä: KAAZE feat. Elle Vee - Opera 10 Jadakissnia: Adam F - Circles 09 Niceland: Built By Titan - Broken Love (ft. Starxs) 08 Aelandor: Kiasmos - Looped 07 FARC: Thandi Phoenix - My Way 06 BuzzJack Mountain: Amélie - Marbella 05 Rolloland: Propaganda - Das Testaments Des Mabuse 04 Cadelicia: Sabella - Fortress (Blinkie Remix) 03 Aeroche: LLLL - For F (feat. Calendula & Meishi Smile) 02 FSR Rontvia: Bart & Baker feat. The Billy Bros Orchestra - We Are What We Are (Wolfgang Lohr Remix) 01 Seyetana: Beyond The Black - Night Will Fade

Final time! Here are Jupiterdonia's votes for this edition of the Contest!
1-10 first, this month we're pointing:
+10 Aelandor - Kiasmos +9 Singerpurear - Ria Mae +8 Niceland - Built By Titan (aka the parking lot song) +7 Cowtermont - NWYR +6 Bøtanikkä - KAAZE +5 FARC - Thandi Phoenix +4 Quintessa - ARCHIS +3 Bhangra - Molly Sterling +2 Suedonia - Jane Weaver +1 New Lexico - IZA
11 and 12 this month go to Aesthetica and Trifoski!
On the penultimate pre-wave votes, Niceland remains firmly in the league. But who know what the Purple Wave will wash up?

Afternoon all, Jadakissnia calling thank you to the people of New Lexico for your fabulous hosting! We are pleased to report that we actually enjoyed this final a fair amount and could have voted for at least 5 more songs definitely didn't seem like this was going to be the case after semi 2 was quite bleak so hooray! We hope that Adam F will perform decently tonight in the results show. We are going to present some pretty circular votes to you guys, in support of 'Circles'! Without further ado:
03 ● Rolloland: Propaganda - Das Testaments Des Mabuse
04 ● FSR Rontvia: Bart & Baker feat. The Billy Bros Orchestra - We Are What We Are (Wolfgang Lohr Remix)
05 ● Aesthetica: Shea Couleé - Cocky (feat. Lila Star & The Vixen)
06 ● Suedeonia: Jane Weaver - The Architect
07 ● Séyetana: Beyond The Black - Night Will Fade
08 ● Taahino: AmaLee & dj-Jo - Echo
09 ● Cowtermont: NWYR - Ends Of Time
10 ● Espen: The Pirouettes - Tu peux compter sur moi
11 ● Bøtanikkä: KAAZE feat. Elle Vee - Opera
12 ● Persephonia: Set And Setting - Coping
13 ● Aelandor: Kiasmos - Looped
15 ● Aeroche: LLLL - For F (feat. Calendula & Meishi Smile)
18 ● Terra Avium: Mytischi - Cassiopeia
Congratulations to Terra Avium who become only the second nation ever to receive 3 18s from us, tying with none other than Persephonia! This follows an 18 for Owsey, Jernalism & Resotone's 'I've Been Secretly Falling Apart' in BJSC 80 and Kids Of The Apocalypse's 'Better Life' in BJSC 89. We have serious entry envy with this witch house delight. It is seriously fighting Lotunia's 'Bánh Trôi Nước' by Hoàng Thùy Linh from 101 as our favourite entry of the year so far. Aeroche are back in our medal positions again very quickly after they received an 18 in 100 for TR/ST's 'Capitol', the eventual winner! Could 'For F' be another possible winner for 'em tonight? ;o Aelandor complete our top 3 with their join highest points to date (the other entry to receive 13 was Nu:Tone feat. Lea Lea's 'Tides' in 95) with an entry that made us absolutely melt. Iceland never disappoints shoutout to Cowtermont and Aesthetica who receive their highest points from us to date! Hello to Mosquetania who very quickly make the Jadakissnian votes for the first time with that solitary point. Another very catchy entry from our hosts this month following 'Word Of Mouth', we wish we could've had a bit more room!
That's all from us tonight.
Jade x

After receiving no votes from the last three finalists, Niceland's lead is reduced to a not insurmountable 40 points. Finalists, your fate is in the hands....of the PURPLE WAVE!

Thanks Jade and Cal! Actually sneaking back into the top 20 just before the wave ooh. Let's do this. x
Séyetana actually potentially still within snatching distance should have believed the early hype for that!

Well one thing's for sure, my 1-pointer won't be winning this edition this time.
Posted by: LexC 29th April 2018, 07:28 PM
So, the countries that are forming the wave are:
Lotunia Altyr Muunilinst Harmonica Fljotavik Zaminton Skall Medhelnia Deandria Dogabo Holland-Oats Republique d'Ashton Land of DW Ultraviolenceland Thelonia Flynonda East Rukhavian Greenfroze Cumulonimba
A pretty interesting cross section from the most pop-hoe country, die-hard indie hipster smoothies and other countries whose tastes cannot be as easily defined. What cumulative decisions could they have possibly made?

Wah wah wah wahhhh
Well that lasted long RIP my hopes of a top 20 xx hope 142 points will still be enough to have stayed in the low 20s I guess.
Oops at New Lexico not clearing 100 points in total, that was a banger! Bhangra deserved better too. </3

Posted by: Iz 29th April 2018, 07:43 PM
Aww! Well now everyone else needs to SHOO away from overtaking me so I can retain as high a position as possible (maybe 2nd if Cowtermont and Cor Lupus go out soon. pls, I'd like the possibility of an AQ xx)
Posted by: Jade 29th April 2018, 07:43 PM
Oh wow, I'm very surprised to have survived a batch as big as that (although only 3 points in it between all of those so still not expecting a lot for 'Circles')

Game set and match for Niceland now surely, I don't see Cowtermont being able to pull off that huge gap! Appears a finish in the 20s is confirmed for me now anyway, hooray *.* (surprised to have beaten the likes of Ojnoj I didn't buy that as a contender but definitely thought it could be top 10 or so)
Aelandor cling onto that top 10 please!!
Posted by: The Snake 🐍 29th April 2018, 07:44 PM

Well looks like I'll not even beat 22nd then oops, a little bit disappointed with that I will be honest, I was hoping for more. What's happened to the Witch house bloc? (At least I got an 18 from Jade ), Thrilled to see Rolloland and Aelandor getting lots of points though, brilliant discoveries they were.
Niceland have this in the bag surely, even I had this one penned!
Posted by: Selena GoHome 29th April 2018, 07:53 PM
probably a top 10 miss at this point, eek! decent showing for me but a bit underwhelming considering the predictions.

Posted by: Bré 29th April 2018, 07:54 PM
Think that's a 25th place finish for me then (after Taahino's deduction), basically exactly what I predicted I really thought I was on to be a fair bit lower than that after going out so early in the wave votes so that's a relief, yay.
It appears we're on for a full top 3 of countries that have never won before tbh, 2018 continuing to deliver all the firsts / new peaks (if Séyetana remain 2nd).

Woo! What a rollercoaster, I enjoyed that immensely! And I have a song that's now a lot more me as my highest peaker than my previous one was (no disrespect to Love Stuck at all, it's a banger, but I am so so pleased I got something that is just so me up so high). Thank you everyone who voted, that means a lot to me, Night Will Fade is one of my favourite entries already and I'm amazed it took to everyone as well as it did.
And now I have a 50% chance of getting an AQ (which inevitably will be a zero percent chance), I've never been in this position before. That's thrown my entry plans a bit

#11 whaaat how.
Ah well it's great to be that high still, thanks for all the votes anyway.
Posted by: LexC 29th April 2018, 08:11 PM
All of the DNQs votes will be posted in my next post but I will now be having a short (well earned!) break. Congratulations to Niceland, we look forward to passing on the baton of hosting (Pete's acceptance pending) after this historic occasion for New Lexico.

Omg clinging onto the top 3 there top 3 in both contests tonight wow
Posted by: Jade 29th April 2018, 08:11 PM
Absolutely thrilled to have finished top 20 after I was languishing in the 30s for ages pre-jury! Lmao at me finishing 17th in both this and the 90s vs 00s spinoff Sadly not a unique position in the main contest as I finished there with King Plague - 'Ave Plague' last year, but I'm so pleased nevertheless.
Thanks for your hosting Lex, you were brilliant! Excited for Niceland hosting now *.* (and to find out who else gave me points!)
Posted by: Oliver 29th April 2018, 08:12 PM
Pleased with 13th considering the odds and bottom 10 predictions.
Posted by: King Rollo 29th April 2018, 08:12 PM
So thrilled to finish in 5th place,easily my best finish,and with a retro song as well. Looking forward to seeing who else voted for it now.
Posted by: Cody💧Slayberry 29th April 2018, 08:12 PM
well that just... shattered my heart... this purple wave jury thing should be banned
I didn’t expect to be near the top 10 so getting in there and staying there is great! Unovia waaaaaay too low though, we’re you guys thinking straight?
Trance trio going 3-6-9 tho *.*
Posted by: Liаm 29th April 2018, 08:15 PM
Wd Pete - another debut winner!
Really disheartened and feeling out of touch with this contest and liking precisely 3 songs in the top 10 and finishing so low if I'm honest, I don't always care how I do but feeling so out of touch with what's in the contest and doing well makes me feel like I might have a break tbh
Posted by: Chez Wombat 29th April 2018, 08:15 PM
Congrats Pete! Was a great song, I got used to the pitchy vocals after a while and the ethnic instrumental is incredible, not at all surprised at the landslide, given it seemed a likely winner right from the start and a winner I voted for hooray *. (and yes please more of the Pete graphics) Rolloland in the top 5 is incredible, where did that come from?!
Could someone not have given me two more points so I could get 22nd again, would've been nice to keep up the pattern if I wasn't gonna Q Thank you for all those who did point me though, I certainly appreciated the couple of very high points.
Thanks for the great hosting, Lex!
Posted by: Cameron 29th April 2018, 08:17 PM
Massive congratulations Pete, so well deserved!
HUSHKANUKIA GETTING THEIR YEARLY TOP 10. Also, just narrowly missing our fav #9 position. Thank you, everyone who voted, I guess we should go on Hiatus more often . Really comes as a bit of a shock as once again we get weak odds, low predictions and slept on... When will Hushky ever get the recognition it deserves?
Posted by: Bré 29th April 2018, 08:17 PM
Oh oops, 26th not 25th, must have miscounted earlier xx well that's the same position as world's end girlfriend which makes sense as that was the song I was most reminded of when I came across this one! And... it's not bottom 10, hooray. Cheers to those who voted for me, fingers crossed I still might somehow find an 18 among these last few votes although probably unlikely when I only have 34 points in total from them also looking forward to seeing if I was indeed 18th in my semi.
Aw dammit at Aelandor ending up being kicked out of the top 10, S DNLD and Vülkyria coming out of nowhere in the end there 11th is still fine I guess, Aelandor's 2nd biggest hit to date yay.
Yayy for Cowtermont getting the bronze (3rd in both my votes AND the results in both of the contests tonight lel) and Rolloland grabbing 5th place. Some rather surprising top 10 hits there, wouldn't have predicted Singerpurear, Hushkanukia or the aforementioned S DNLD and Vülkyria to have been that high, a good month for the dance bloc I guess! I only voted for three of the top 10 this month and one of those was only my 1 point so that's not the greatest top tier ever but ah well, could be worse. Nice results for Mosquetania and Jadakissnia in the top 20!
Another great and smooth hosting job tonight Lex, though our diplomats are quite looking forward to jetting back out of the country now xx

Thanks to Skall,Cumulonimba and Deandria for 3 more 18s and to all the countries that gave points to Rolloland tonight. I originally intended entering Dr Mabuse to BJSC100 until I switched to Anathema. I don't know if it would have finished as high as 5th place in that contest,probably not,so it looks like saving it for a smaller contest has paid off.
Thanks for hosting Lex,you did a great job and in good time as well.
Once again,well done Pete on winning.

Blimeyyy at 'Circles' coming 17th in the semi, so close to DNQing! Matching that 17th in the final means I have outdone my projection and then some *.*
Posted by: Oliver 29th April 2018, 09:13 PM
I'll definitely take 2nd place in the semi, that's two top 3s in a row!
And a 10 from Cumulonimbia?! I could have sworn I was one of the two "washing machine" songs he was talking about.
Posted by: Bré 29th April 2018, 09:14 PM
Ayy I was 18th in my semi as I expected *.* getting through on the strength of votes from precisely five people, one of which was only 1 point (but still held on to get final points from all 5 of those countries yay). 34 points is matching the all-time record for the lowest score to ever qualify with as well. A record I am proud to own, especially as I got to have my mid-20s finish in the final anyway xx I was insanely lucky that this semi had so many no-hopers in it I guess, so I managed to scrape in even with nearly the worst possible draw for my song thank you of course to Suede and Mack for helping me out majorly in that semi.
Wow at FARC winning by so much in semi 2!! Surprised that they didn't come closer to Niceland in the final considering (although 4th is still pretty good ofc).
(I'll upload the semi spreadsheets in a screenshot form some time in the near future and edit them into this post so these semi scoreboards don't end up being lost to time by that Zippyshare link expiring)

Posted by: danG 29th April 2018, 09:23 PM
Amazing victory for Pete! Had a good feeling it would win but not by that much. Really deserved though, fab song choice. Looking forward to visiting Niceland next month too.
Wow at a S DNLD top ten finish!! It really seemed like I was flopping but just turned out that half of my points were to come in the jury vote, thanks y'all. Amazing to see fellow dance bloc nations Cowtermont, Cor Lupus and Vülkyria up there too (and honorary dance bloc for this month Farc). Amazed that Rolloland came as high as 5th too, that only made it into my votes after it really hit me on the second and third listen. Séyetana getting a deserved 2nd place too, not surprised though, if it made it into my votes it must've had a lot of cross appeal.

No the other one was Bøtanikkä - a washing machine spin cycle breakdown is usually around 5-10 seconds, milked to the point where you want to immediately skip and then a disappointing drop comes in. I really enjoyed your entry actually!
Posted by: Riser 29th April 2018, 11:52 PM
Congrats Niceland! Amazing winner and your victory caught me completely by surprise if I'm honest, I underestimated its wide appeal! Seyetana was an even bigger grower for me, really nice to see that as runner-up
Also extremely pleased to see 'Bend' go top 10 for Singerpurear (just my luck that I didn't send it in favor of Ary ) and Vulkyria top 10!
Looking at the semi spreadsheet, I don't feel like I shot myself in the foot despite DNQing by one point, which is a relief! It's all random.org's fault then
So excited for the next contest now, imma need all remotely pop-leaning countries on board.

Ok omg I am in shock that I was so high in the end placing 15th!! Thank you everyone who voted for me especially Greenfroze for giving me top marks in the final and Flynndonda for giving me 12 points in the semi <3
I'm very surprised that New Lexico placed last though as that was my second fav song in the final. Overall happy with the results though as Niceland was my third fav. Great contest everyone!

Thanks lex for afab contest very exciting my heart was pounding a bit in the purple wave, congrats pete total deserved win it was the right result and the best new song.
Thanks also jordan for turning me onto ria and so peeved i didnt give harmonica one more point in the semi!
Lastly thanks all to everyone voting for ria one of my fave entries of singrpurear so fab to see we got our third best placing - 5th 6th and now 7th. Finally filling in some gaps
