Yes

I need to qualify, I can't handle another bad news after Dua missing #1 album lol.

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 3rd April 2020, 05:41 PM

Here for this! Hoping for a few shocks in Semi 2.

Posted by: Jade 3rd April 2020, 05:43 PM

I have a couple of things to do tonight so I'll be dipping in and out - c'mon Aphex Twin and as many favourites as possible!

Posted by: dandy* 3rd April 2020, 05:45 PM

I have no idea what to expect from these results, SF2 seemed so difficult to predict to me - I'm sure there will be a few big casualties but I'm just hoping one of them isn't DMAs!

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 05:46 PM

I should be safe to qualify myself so here to root for my most vulnerable fave instead which I think would be Skall (not really expecting them to qualify but they definitely should in a just world xx).

Posted by: dandy* 3rd April 2020, 05:47 PM

I think Skall will qualify!

Posted by: SevenSeize 3rd April 2020, 05:52 PM

looking forward to these Rob!

let's not shed too many of the best songs please x

can we appreciate Trifoski taking a song that'd otherwise be a winning contender, and making it a wooden spoon contender with a simple dubstep drop? *.*

me if I DNQ

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 05:59 PM

OMG Rob

not you throwing a proper show

I love it!!!

Posted by: dandy* 3rd April 2020, 06:00 PM

I love that!

Posted by: kyesolating 3rd April 2020, 06:01 PM

omg sharon!!

Soundtracking these results by doing a second listen of semi 1 ~

Will the results be done before I get to Arca? That is the question. (and yes I am going to let it play for the full hour again xo)

Posted by: I. :II: z 3rd April 2020, 06:02 PM

Here for it for once(!) and hoping all my faves will qualify (and me, but from perceptions it seems like I'm apparently far safer than I expected to be).

Posted by: I. :II: z 3rd April 2020, 06:04 PM

You've reminded me that I should make a point of listening to Arca at least as far as I want to. Can't go through this BJSC without that experience.

scoreboards also looking highly exciting!

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 06:04 PM

To the point that I am choosing to root for Skall instead! (Although I maybe shouldn't be too overconfident about clipping. for it is after all still a rap song)

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 06:05 PM

Posted by: Dexton 3rd April 2020, 06:05 PM

Hype for me

and paramore

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 3rd April 2020, 06:12 PM

Healing was a great song that I probably didn't give enough points to.

I think bottom 5 of the semi for me, I absolutely adore my entry and have continually been singing along to it (Scouse accent included) but listening to her EP reckon there's 2 or 3 that would do better in a contest like this.

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 06:15 PM

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 06:16 PM

oh first revealed

Thanks to everyone for making Adiemus qualify

Posted by: StayatHaus 3rd April 2020, 06:17 PM

LIZ Great start to the semi 2 results

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 06:19 PM

One of the best of semi 1 through already yas Unovia a pretty good start to semi 2 results also.

Posted by: dandy* 3rd April 2020, 06:21 PM

Addy-addy-emus

Posted by: J00ps 3rd April 2020, 06:22 PM

Suspect Persephonia won the semi

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 06:23 PM

lol didn't even think about it before...now making it official anthem of Bøtanikkä!!!

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 06:24 PM

Posted by: Jade 3rd April 2020, 06:25 PM

All of these qualifiers are great so far!

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 3rd April 2020, 06:25 PM

Expected but still great to see Rolloland make it in!

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 06:26 PM

Omg so far so good

I wouldn't be shocked if both Jack and Rollo finished #1 on their respective semi's!!!

Posted by: JosephStyles 3rd April 2020, 06:26 PM

Betty Who

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 06:27 PM

Both of the Britney alikes qualifying already then! 'The One' is another solid USoJ entry, will do very well again and deservedly so methinks. Yay for Rolloland also

We been knew

Posted by: I. :II: z 3rd April 2020, 06:29 PM

Great stuff from Rolloland this time around, and I think I can see what people are on about with that USoJ entry!

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 06:30 PM

What's the other Britney alike?

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 06:30 PM

'Lottery'. x

Well done Calum *.*

Posted by: dandy* 3rd April 2020, 06:32 PM

Glad 070 Shake are through, although it was never in doubt really

Posted by: Calum 3rd April 2020, 06:32 PM

omg YES 😭😭

thanks to all that voted <3

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 06:33 PM

Really...I missed Britney comparison/reference I guess!!!

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 06:34 PM

This is going too well lol should I be worried!!!!

All my faves going through...congrats Calum

Posted by: StayatHaus 3rd April 2020, 06:34 PM

070 Shake

Urging fans of this to check out the whole album too!

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 06:35 PM

Nice to be announced early, not that I was worrying much about this one! Good timing as I have just got a YouTube notification of a live version of the song being premiered in 30 minutes that celebration.

'makeup drawer' is easily the best entry from Sandénia since their return, huge improvement on the previous Isaac Dunbar entry, great to see this one qualifying! A big improvement on the previous one getting just one voter in the semi.

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 06:44 PM

Posted by: Purple Kecleon 3rd April 2020, 06:44 PM

lmao I was covering for someone's shift for work and completely forgot this was going to be earlier than usual

Posted by: Purple Kecleon 3rd April 2020, 06:44 PM

two anniversary entries down, two to go

Posted by: Jade 3rd April 2020, 06:45 PM

2/4 of the anniversary entries through! Fingers crossed me and Cody can make it a full house 🙏

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 06:45 PM

Yay Paramore <3 (announced just as I was listening to it again in my semi 1 relisten x).

Hope the other two anniversary entries should join those two in short order ~

Posted by: Riser 3rd April 2020, 06:48 PM

Cameron and Lindsey announced simultaneously :wow:

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 06:53 PM

Great to see Persephonia and Ojnoj safe nice and early x

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 06:55 PM

Joseph qualifying with both of his entries this month (iss funny because Calum likes similar music lamfoo)

'Black Leather' is becoming more and more of a guilty pleasure.

Posted by: JosephStyles 3rd April 2020, 06:55 PM

How long did it take u to come up with that xxx

Posted by: kyesolating 3rd April 2020, 06:56 PM

ojnoj

sharon’s dramatic way of announcing these (in my head) has done me in!

Posted by: Purple Kecleon 3rd April 2020, 06:57 PM

Black Leather sounds like a Lindsey Stirling song

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 06:58 PM

Keiino

I have tipped that as a winner...seems like it has the right formula!!

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 07:00 PM

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 07:02 PM

A flawless pair of qualifiers *.* #brizade

Hooray for clipping. not ending up being a surprise DNQ ~

Posted by: I. :II: z 3rd April 2020, 07:03 PM

THERE EXISTED AN ADDICTION TO BLOOD

Great to be safe in, Jadakissnia being in is also v. good.

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 07:03 PM

Congrats Jade and Iz

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 07:06 PM

Posted by: Calum 3rd April 2020, 07:07 PM

big yes for Bellamia and New Lexico!!

Posted by: kyesolating 3rd April 2020, 07:10 PM

yaaas!! 7th thanks for the votes x

Posted by: Jade 3rd April 2020, 07:11 PM

Yay thanks guys that’s my 10th qualifier in a row so I’ve matched my longest ever Q streak!! *.*

Posted by: Purple Kecleon 3rd April 2020, 07:12 PM

really loving all these qualifiers so far, not a dud in sight!

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 07:14 PM

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 07:16 PM

Yes at Rontvia

Congrats to Cody as well!!!

Posted by: gooddelta 3rd April 2020, 07:17 PM

Yay lots of my favourites already through from both semis too.

Incredible hosting, the graphics Rob *.*

Posted by: Purple Kecleon 3rd April 2020, 07:17 PM

I thought I read “Persephonia” in the semi 1 picture and I got confused

Thanks so much for getting Bury Us to the final! It’s like the clownery that happened in 120 and 121 never happened

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 07:18 PM

All anniversary entries safely through, woo ~ (I think Singerpurear remains the only anniversary entry to DNQ so far).

Good retro choice from FSR Rontvia! <3

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 07:20 PM

Lol you still mourning about 120 and 121!!!

Posted by: Klumzee 3rd April 2020, 07:22 PM

No complaints about qualifiers so far! Not biting my nails just yet...

Posted by: Toilet Rollo 3rd April 2020, 07:23 PM

Great to see Moderns safely through. I was more confident of qualifying this time than I normally am after the positive comments about the song.

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 07:23 PM

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 07:26 PM

Yes to Terra and yes to D'yermak'er

Fractile Dreamers and Adiemus right next to each other

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 07:26 PM

Yess for Fractal Dreamers semi 1 results are going amazingly so far. NIMMO also v good!

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 3rd April 2020, 07:27 PM

The Naked and Famous was an obvious qualifier and I listened to it quite a bit when it came out, but it's toward the bottom end of their output. I've been underwhelmed by this era so far

Posted by: Chez Wombat 3rd April 2020, 07:27 PM

Yay, not being left until the end *.* I was quite confident in this one even if I thought the other semi would be better for it.

Excellent to see Jadakissnia and Botanikka through <3

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 07:29 PM

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 07:30 PM

Yes Adonia was a must from semi 2

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 07:32 PM

Republic of Adonia delivering another great entry this month, yay for that being safe <3 (I think this one would also have qualified even if it had a deduction but of course we don't encourage this xo).

Posted by: I. :II: z 3rd April 2020, 07:32 PM

Oh good for Terra, I was keeping an eye on that one.

Adonia too, all great so far, still holding out hope for a couple of yet unannounced songs though.

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 07:37 PM

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 07:38 PM

Tartford also delivering some quality retro dance!

Posted by: dandy* 3rd April 2020, 07:39 PM

Glad Tartford are through

A few still to qualify that I'd really love to see through from SF2

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 07:41 PM

Tartford

This is shaping to be an amazing final which in return it will make so much harder to vote!!!

Posted by: Purple Kecleon 3rd April 2020, 07:42 PM

still waiting on FLJ

Semi 2 cleaning up almost half of the first part!!!

Is Aeroche going to be shock DNQ

EDIT:

Both semis actually cleaning first parts!!!

Posted by: Quarantilas 3rd April 2020, 07:51 PM

Was getting a little worried there!!! Glad to be through *wipes brow*

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 07:52 PM

Nice to see Singerpurear making it (2 of my 3 'borderline DNQ' predictions from semi 1 in already, I think all the other qualifiers so far have been ones I predicted so the surprises are coming late if there are any ;o)

Have reached Arca in my semi 1 relisten now

Posted by: 🍆 3rd April 2020, 07:52 PM

The qualifiers are getting good.

Just rip off the bandaid gurl

Posted by: dandy* 3rd April 2020, 07:55 PM

Sorry! Just getting nervy!

Posted by: Jade 3rd April 2020, 07:57 PM

Ecstatic that Tartford are through

Posted by: Qween 3rd April 2020, 07:58 PM

~~~nervous~~~

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 3rd April 2020, 07:58 PM

Great to see Tartford and Suedonia through. Just need Fljotavik and Vulkyria through now and that's all the songs I enjoyed (aside my own ofc)

Posted by: I. :II: z 3rd April 2020, 07:59 PM

Everything is holding with my predictions so far so come through my Nostradamus

Oh wow, really surprised that Kylienips are through. I didn't mind it but feared it would get lost

Posted by: JosephStyles 3rd April 2020, 08:01 PM

Brill entry from Summericia!!!

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 08:01 PM

Okay, so my internet is going in and out at possibly the worst time, bare with me

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 08:02 PM

Summericia is the first qualifier so far that I am a little surprised at - did sound a fair bit better on second listen for me though to be fair! Good stuff from Kylienips.

Still waiting for the fate of half of my semi 2 votes and 4 of my top 10 from semi 1 at the moment.

Awks. (I remember this happened when I was hosting results for the Pop Forum Song Contest and it was stressful xx)

Posted by: Klumzee 3rd April 2020, 08:02 PM

Flynnonda need to get through from semi one!

Posted by: JosephStyles 3rd April 2020, 08:03 PM

me during the chart show earlier :') sending u good vibes

Posted by: 🍆 3rd April 2020, 08:03 PM

Why can’t we all qualify

Posted by: Quarantilas 3rd April 2020, 08:04 PM

Because we don’t want to subject more people to your entry?

Posted by: 🍆 3rd April 2020, 08:06 PM

So much transphobia around here.

Posted by: Purple Kecleon 3rd April 2020, 08:06 PM

This is looking like an insanely strong final

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 08:10 PM

Posted by: Purple Kecleon 3rd April 2020, 08:11 PM

YAAAS

aeroche and oslol through now plz

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 08:11 PM

So, we have 15 qualifiers from each semi. There are five left, we'll now start posting one semi at a time to get there.

Posted by: dandy* 3rd April 2020, 08:12 PM

YYYYAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 08:12 PM

with only 6 spots left and I have 5 from semi 1 and 4 from semi 2 that needs to qualify...seems impossible but hoping for best!!!

EDIT:

Now down to 4 from Semi 1 and 3 from Semi 2

So happy for Varakë

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 08:12 PM

Yay for FLJ! Should do pretty well I should think although will always wonder if the original version would have fared better or worse...

Good to see Varakë back in a final as well though the song isn't to my tastes. ~

Posted by: LUKΞ 3rd April 2020, 08:13 PM

finally ❤️

Posted by: Purple Kecleon 3rd April 2020, 08:16 PM

Varake dance entries are usually top quality *.*

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 08:17 PM

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 08:19 PM

Yas Austra <3

Rooting for Daehun, Elëdan, Flynnonda and Holland-Oats out of the remaining semi 1 songs. x

Posted by: dandy* 3rd April 2020, 08:19 PM

Not heard SF1 yet but generally like Austra so hopefully this will be another good one

Posted by: Mart!n 3rd April 2020, 08:19 PM

Thanks everyone that voted for Louis The Child & Foster The People, the track grew on me when I came across it. It just felt like I wanted to share it, and this is best way to enter the track in a contest. I'm glad the track made it.

Posted by: Klumzee 3rd April 2020, 08:20 PM

Ideal last four would be Danaeviia, Flynnonda, Ramrynia and St. Burbia. Fingers crossed!

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 08:21 PM

Rooting for Danaeviia, St. Burbia, Land of Dw and Holland-Oats!!!

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 08:22 PM

Posted by: LexC 3rd April 2020, 08:23 PM

Yaboi qualified despite the deduction, buyakasha!

But we're gonna need Jayrusalem, Ramrynia and St Burbia through from Semi 1!

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 08:23 PM

Yes at Vulkirya...one of my fave from semi 2

Posted by: Jade 3rd April 2020, 08:25 PM

Sat here eagerly anticipating who gets the death slot x

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 08:25 PM

Oh we are still doing semi 2 as well - yas for Vülkyria, an essential <3

Aelandor, Skall, Thelonia and Why So Sirius are my picks from the remaining songs in semi 2 but not super confident that any of those will make it! (Thelonia probably the best chance)

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 08:26 PM

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 08:27 PM

Yes Dan

Rooting for Danaeviia, St. Burbia, Land of Dw and Holland-Oats!!!

Posted by: Purple Kecleon 3rd April 2020, 08:28 PM

Dan hopefully with a strong comeback?

Posted by: Jade 3rd April 2020, 08:29 PM

C'MON ARCA!!!

(someone has to x)

Posted by: Purple Kecleon 3rd April 2020, 08:29 PM

gonna need Flynnonda now plz

Posted by: dandy* 3rd April 2020, 08:29 PM

I'm hoping ARCA gets through also! Maybe take the last reveal?

Posted by: Coronarella 3rd April 2020, 08:30 PM

eeeeek nailbiting x

hoping arca gets through

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 08:30 PM

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 08:31 PM

Unovia being in the last slot in the final kinda makes me think Elëdan are already a confirmed DNQ considering Rob put them last in the semi running order on purpose and I oop

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 08:33 PM

literally the same thoughts lol.

There is still a chance though...it had some very vocal fans apparently!!!

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 08:34 PM

Posted by: Oricon 3rd April 2020, 08:34 PM

Oh PHEW

THANK YOU

Posted by: Chez Wombat 3rd April 2020, 08:35 PM

I think Arca would've had a good chance of qualifying if it were in the other semi just purely looking at the countries lol (or it may have here who knows xo)

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 08:35 PM

Yay Daehun! A bop ~

Posted by: Purple Kecleon 3rd April 2020, 08:36 PM

Greenfroze is the first qualifier that I’m surprised with, maybe we are getting some shock DNQ’s?

Posted by: Riser 3rd April 2020, 08:37 PM

I need Aeroche and FARC through in Semi 2 but would prefer it not be at my own entry's expense! D:

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 08:37 PM

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 08:38 PM

Ooh thank god for Aelandor!! That's one that seems like it should be standout enough to be a safe qualifier but you never know with these kind of songs ~

Argh at Aeroche still being unannounced. (And FARC actually!)

Posted by: dandy* 3rd April 2020, 08:39 PM

Will it be Aeroche and FARC or will someone upset the form?


Plus I'm needing Skall, Utopia and Thelonia through so this can't end well

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 08:39 PM

oh dear Semi 2 looks like will have some real shock DNQ's!!!

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 08:41 PM

Posted by: Jade 3rd April 2020, 08:42 PM

Daehun's entry is one of their best ever *.* the Aelandor one was really good too!

Posted by: uhsting 3rd April 2020, 08:42 PM

I would be overjoyed if mine qualified because that was a really risky entry on my behalf

Posted by: Purple Kecleon 3rd April 2020, 08:43 PM

I still think it could be Aeroche and Oslol for semi 2, idk what could happen tho!

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 08:43 PM

I predict Eledan and Ramrynis from Semi 1 and Aeroche and Thelonia from Semi 2

Posted by: dandy* 3rd April 2020, 08:43 PM

I honestly don't know what to expect from SF2, I could make a reasonable case for any of them

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 08:45 PM

Posted by: Purple Kecleon 3rd April 2020, 08:46 PM

EEK

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 08:46 PM

Omg yes Burbe

I enjoyed that a lot!!

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 08:47 PM

St. Burbia is another one that's grown on me on a second listen, a bit of a jam. x

Confirmed to lose at least 2 of my top 10 from semi 1 aw, it started so well. (Not that 7 or 8 out of 10 qualifying is particularly bad)

Posted by: LexC 3rd April 2020, 08:48 PM

JAYRUSALEM UP!

Posted by: Klumzee 3rd April 2020, 08:49 PM

Flynnonda pls! Yaeji is being slept on here.

I suspect it will be Ramrynia which is a good entry but not the best left If it does turn out to be Eledan that will be the gag of the contest.

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 08:50 PM

I am really rooting for Flynnonda here but gutted that either them or Holland-Oats or both will be out as I didn't think either were particularly at risk!

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 08:50 PM

Posted by: dandy* 3rd April 2020, 08:52 PM

Utopia!!!!!

Really liked this, wasn't sure at first but it kinda crept up on me on second listen.

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 08:52 PM

Well that one is certainly a surprise...! I did think every song in semi 2 had at least some shot but if I were to name one that I thought was most likely to DNQ it'd have probably been Utopia. Aeroche and/or FARC confirmed out as well then eek.

Posted by: Purple Kecleon 3rd April 2020, 08:52 PM

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 08:53 PM

now it got real intense lol in Semi 2.

Cute song from Utopia!!

Posted by: Coronarella 3rd April 2020, 08:54 PM

o NO

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 3rd April 2020, 08:55 PM

Oh wow I was NOT expecting that at all!

Delighted with that result.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 3rd April 2020, 08:56 PM

I was the same really. I'm absolutely obsessed with it now but took a few goes before I thought it was as good as some of her previous stuff, which was partly why I was convinced it'd do nothing.

Posted by: dandy* 3rd April 2020, 08:56 PM

Am starting to think that both Aeroche and FARC may not have made it.

Rooting for Skall now

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 09:00 PM

tbh I loved Tchami and out of all I didn't expect Tchami to be possibly the one ending Aeroche Q streak (I know this still have a chance to Q so finger crossed)

Posted by: Klumzee 3rd April 2020, 09:01 PM

Crying for Flynnonda - Yaeji was my 12! I believe I threw a couple points to Ramrynia but I'm more surprised that has gone - not so safe sending a Euro reject after all

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 09:04 PM

I was actually feeling quite strongly that last Q was going to be Jayrusalem for some reason even though I only had them as a borderline qualifier! Well done Jay, a solid comeback entry ~

From my semi 1 ranking:

5th Elëdan
6th Flynnonda
8th Holland-Oats
13th Land of DW
18th Lotunia
21st Wholune
26th East Rukahavian
27th Dobago
28th Ramrynia
29th Yehesi

No shock at Arca being out but noooo at Flynnonda being slept on again, and Holland-Oats (although I see they were v close). Thought Land of DW would have been a shoo-in this time too, very close again but argh!

Name and shame who blocked not one but two nul pointers in semi 1 xx (edit: ah you did already! it always has to be one person, every single time without fail!)

Not Thelonia with only 18 points

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 09:16 PM

well then...

The Tchami song seemed on paper like it should have been a super safe qualifier but I guess it maybe just fell victim to not getting high points from enough people... (admittedly didn't make my points at all oops but I did like it!) The top 2 of last year's EOY both losing their streak at once gah. (If this doesn't convince me to get around to getting the Q streak list back up to date... let me 100% make sure I do that now lol)

From semi 2:

12 QUALIFIED
10 SKALL
8 QUALIFIED

7 QUALIFIED
6 QUALIFIED
5 QUALIFIED
4 THELONIA
3 QUALIFIED
2 QUALIFIED
1 QUALIFIED
12th Why So Sirius
14th Aeroche
16th Niceland
18th Aesthetica
23rd Oslol
25th FARC
26th Ultraviolenceland
27th Harmonica

This semi was always prone to have a few shocks as literally everything sounded like it could feasibly qualify but who'd have predicted it'd go like this! Big shame for Skall but not surprised, Thelonia a little more unexpected, especially coming that low in the semi eek... #endtheloniaracism to be restarted etc. Did not think Oslol would be out either!

Wonderful presentation again Rob <3

Holland-Oats was my favourite from them in ages and I didn't think it would be out either Not too surprised at the other two but a shame. I did really love parts of Eledan and it was certainly a unique experience, I just found it rather difficult to rank as a song! Yaeji wasn't far off my votes either, shame.

Great presentation Rob <3

Posted by: dandy* 3rd April 2020, 09:22 PM

Most of my votes got through, the main casualties were Skall as my top pointer ( ) and Thelonia I think.

Really surprised by FARC in particular, that was 12th in my rankings but I thought it would be higher for the pop fans. I suspect it may be a grower as it was quite a lot lower on my first run through.

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 09:24 PM

We all had to PM our votes lol

Posted by: gooddelta 3rd April 2020, 09:24 PM

I really liked both FARC and Aeroche’s entries and don’t feel like either should have ended their respective streaks but Trifoski’s is definitely deserving of a place in the final, it stood out hugely!

I did wonder if My Corona might have been a nul pointer actually as the semi make-up didn’t seem especially friendly to it, plus I expect a lot of people probably looked to BJSC more than ever as an escape from reality this month, so probably weren’t on the market for a coronavirus related track! Very surprised Wholune equalled the all-time low record.

This really was stunning hosting Rob, and we have a fantastic final!

Posted by: Jade 3rd April 2020, 09:25 PM

The last time Aeroche DNQed was almost 4 (!) years ago and that was a near-miss as well iirc. What a run!

Thanks for this Rob amazing job ~

That really shocks me to no end! Aeroche and FARC both sounded perfectly safe to me, although both were growers, climbed up my rankings with each listen. Gosh I'll miss having both of those in the final

Oh and Harmonica last place? Whoops

Edit: FARC was my 6-pointer and Aeroche my 2-pointer, that stings!

Amazing presentation Rob!

Doing 3 Q streak updates in a row is melting my brain more than I thought it would but hopefully this should all be accurate!

I've super belatedly edited in the Q streak updates for http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=230123&view=findpost&p=6427804 and http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=231218&view=findpost&p=6454230 into posts of mine in that thread with some redux commentary.

* more consecutive entries (10 for Kluminican Republic, 8 for Hendinia and Ojnoj, 2 for Bhangra and D'yermak'er) have qualified but these streaks were broken by breaks from the contest
** runs extended by the grace of Leww in BJSC 122 (would otherwise be 1 for both)

Fljótavík swoop into the lead (I think this is the first time they have led on this metric although I don't have the history of that to hand immediately, could probably put one together quick-ish with some Excel wizardry but I'm not gonna do that right now xx) following the simultaneous first DNQs for over 2 years each for both Aeroche and FARC. Feels a little weird for the longest Q streak to be a mere 13 but no one is invincible! Only three other nations join FLJ in having an unbroken year of qualifiers. FLJ claiming the lead coincides with them setting a new national record after matching it last month.

Extending national records: Scherzland
Exceeding national records matched in previous contest: Fljótavík, New Lexico
Matching previous national records: Jadakissnia (previously achieved in BJSCs 93-102)

Kluminican Republic now match their record of 10 straight qualifiers in non-consecutive contests (matching the run from BJSCs 93-100 & 102-103). Their record in consecutive contests remains at 8.

Nope, FSR Rontvia's all-time record of 42 in a row remains well intact until at least 2023 Aeroche's 36 in a row is the 2nd longest streak ever though.

Posted by: dan.G 3rd April 2020, 10:54 PM

big yes for Shapov putting us back in the final! no longer have to worry about getting 3 consecutive DNQs for the first time since 2012 then.
that's a real shame for Aeroche, if only I'd been put in SF2 as I'd have given them 8 points. I also lost Skall (6 points) but that was to be expected.
the entirety of my top 10 of my own SF Qed though so yay for that.

Posted by: Klumzee 3rd April 2020, 10:54 PM

10 non-consecutive I will take that as a victory! I would probably be DNQing quite a few times if I did enter every contest regardless of whether I felt like it or not!

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 11:05 PM

I lied on two fronts! It's not the first time FLJ have had the longest Q streak, and also I'm bored enough that I did the wizardry to produce the list of all Q streak leaders after each contest. (Don't mind the unwieldiness of what my Excel formula spat out for the first few contests with giant tied records, it's readable from BJSC 10 onwards).

Shame to lose FARC, I rather liked it. Yay at extending my streak back into double figures for the first time in several years.

Posted by: dan.G 3rd April 2020, 11:10 PM

oh I totally forgot I led this thing once (and tying with Aquafina *_*).

do you have a list of the longest streak records of all time? would be interesting to see where my record run of 11 puts me (top 20 maybe?)

and I forgot to mention how annoying that we had two opportunities to have the first nil pointer and they both had to be ruined. will we ever see it in my lifetime?

Posted by: gooddelta 3rd April 2020, 11:12 PM

Woot at keeping the all-time record, I was sure I’d lose that!

Posted by: RobBot 3rd April 2020, 11:14 PM

I feel so robbed to never have been at the top of this consecutive list thing, behind FSR Rontvia for so long

Posted by: kyesolating 3rd April 2020, 11:17 PM

i love seeing stats like this - i try to find my own but i am hopeless at searching + just give up.

have we ever thought about a wiki?

Posted by: isolAddy! 3rd April 2020, 11:22 PM

Wow well done Aeroche :applause:

Hopefully I'll keep this streak record more than 8 or 9 (whatever my record is lol)

Posted by: LexC 3rd April 2020, 11:32 PM

I guess partly because it's not been posted on here as regularly but I totally missed reaching 8 Qs in a row so yay me!

Posted by: Bré 3rd April 2020, 11:43 PM

There is a BJSC Wiki out there from way back in the day but a bunch of pages on it have been vandalised (and it obviously hasn't been updated in a loooong time)

Other than that there is the stats thread of course... which is also massively out of date until I finally deliver on the increasingly MKS definition of 'soon' on getting it up and running again. One day. x



Ok, one more bit of Excel wizardry for tonight... here are all the streaks of 10+ qualifiers in a row (only counts consecutive contests because including ones like Klum's current 10 in a row in non-consecutive contests would be an annoying complication)

42 FSR Rontvia (BJSCs 13-54)
36 Aeroche (BJSCs 87-122)
34 Hendinia (BJSCs 19-52)
33 Cor Lupus (BJSCs 87-119)
28 Torchwood (BJSCs 9-36)
27 Quotosibb (BJSCs 6-32)
24 Qärenfanghoney (BJSCs 19-42)
21 FARC (BJSCs 102-122)
20 Numayania (BJSCs 14-33)
17 Daehun (BJSCs 60-76)
17 Numayania (BJSCs 35-51)
17 St. Burbia (BJSCs 100-116)
17 Trifoski (BJSCs 88-104)
15 Qärenfanghoney (BJSCs 1-15)
15 United States of Jack (BJSCs 17-31)
14 Altyr Muunilinst (BJSCs 53-66)
14 B.a.N.G (BJSCs 20-33)
14 Ojnoj (BJSCs 25-38)
14 Unovia (BJSCs 83-96)
13 Aeroche (BJSCs 73-85)
13 Bøtanikkä (BJSCs 22-34)
13 Espen (BJSCs 50-62)
13 Fljótavík (BJSCs 111-present)
13 Persephonia (BJSCs 60-72)
13 République d'Áskorza (BJSCs 26-38)
12 Fljótavík (BJSCs 45-56)
12 FSR Rontvia (BJSCs 79-90)
12 Hushkanukia (BJSCs 72-83)
12 Nonsuch (BJSCs 7-18)
12 Skall (BJSCs 49-60)
12 Thelonia (BJSCs 107-118)
12 Yuxhaaq (BJSCs 23-34)
11 Aeroche (BJSCs 54-64)
11 Aquafina (BJSCs 68-78)
11 Danæviia (BJSCs 99-109)
11 Elëdan (BJSCs 4-14)
11 Fljótavík (BJSCs 62-72)
11 Mdiče (BJSCs 9-19)
11 N DNTN (BJSCs 60-70)
11 N DNTN (BJSCs 81-91)
11 Persephonia (BJSCs 23-33)
11 Tinnmark (BJSCs 24-34)
10 Altyr Muunilinst (BJSCs 33-42)
10 Altyr Muunilinst (BJSCs 114-present)
10 Danæviia (BJSCs 68-77)
10 Danæviia (BJSCs 88-97)
10 Elëdan (BJSCs 26-35)
10 Espen (BJSCs 111-120)
10 Greenfroze (BJSCs 24-33)
10 Hushkanukia (BJSCs 114-present)
10 Jadakissnia (BJSCs 93-102)
10 Jadakissnia (BJSCs 114-present)
10 Kylienips (BJSCs 25-34)
10 Ramrynia (BJSCs 91-100)
10 Séyetana (BJSCs 101-110)
10 Taahino (BJSCs 78-87)
10 UnoShake (BJSCs 23-32)
10 Unovia (BJSCs 102-111)

So your run of 11 in a row is... joint 33rd (joint 28th for longest streak per nation as the data includes multiple 11+ contest streaks from a few countries).

Definitely extremely unlucky that Hendinia have never had the record.

Posted by: kyesolating 3rd April 2020, 11:48 PM

if only there were a global crisis that meant we could revive it because most of us had more time on our hands + could update our own pages

Posted by: Jonjo 3rd April 2020, 11:55 PM

THE PRESENTATION! Amazing job, Rob!

GUTTED to lose FARC & Aeroche! Both such brilliant entries

Posted by: 🍆 4th April 2020, 12:07 AM

Dandy relying on others failing to get that top Q streak x

Posted by: StayatHaus 4th April 2020, 12:21 AM

Doesn't everyone? Isn't that how streaks work when they start?

(Underrated post)

Posted by: RobBot 4th April 2020, 01:02 AM

I'll have the final post up tomorrow, guys, you'll still have like 6.5 days to vote. I didn't realise I've accidentally wrote over the .psd document of my banners for each topic some time this week so I'm unable to edit the banner from 'semi finals' to 'finals', and I care too much to put the final up looking incomplete xo

AHH I read this in order and I was left so late I air punched when I realised I was through hahahaha. Amazing hosting, so happy to have Qed.

RIP at Aeroche's Q streak- was very close to giving a couple more points too. Sad to see Skall and Niceland out as well, they were in my commiserations.

Posted by: I. :II: z 4th April 2020, 03:23 AM

Oof, I almost predicted Farc out along with Aeroche but I didn't quite have the balls to, but I could see both coming, shame for both but I wasn't feeling either entry this month.

Really great results given I only lost my 1-pointer in Skall and I'm through, excellently presented semi results Rob

Posted by: Quarantilas 4th April 2020, 06:50 AM

Wooooooow tonnes of surprises through this!!! Shouldn’t have had an early night I missed so much!


Thanks for the show Rob! Great way to do the semi-results!!

Posted by: uhsting 4th April 2020, 08:01 AM

Thanks for the 12 points and 8 points!! <3

Amazing presentation!!!

All my favs made it except my own entry rip. I try to be reasonable and send short tracks but if they don't get rewarded then I could always go full Eledan x

Not so surprised at FARC DNQ'ing but I thought the Aeroche track would've done fine?? There have been other Aeroche entries that have made me go 'sure, it's alright' and then finish 12th or something, a position I can only dream of, so that was totally unexpected for me.

Posted by: Popchartfreak 4th April 2020, 10:03 AM

Good hosting, thanks for everyone getting Jackson through, and condolences to Land Of DW and Holland-Oates, two of our significant pointers - so close to getting through!

Posted by: kyesolating 4th April 2020, 12:06 PM

harmonica definitely shouldn’t have come bottom of sf2! it’s a cute pop song

Posted by: Dobbo 4th April 2020, 12:35 PM

Not a record low points tally but a record low number of votes! Thanks Tim, Burbe & Jack I'm glad there was a least a few fans of punjabi I'm just sending a wealth of variety this year from my back catalogue rather than nailed on qualifiers because what even are those these days.

All my big faves are through at least

Wow Semi 2 certainly was a bloodbath to think the last time Aeroche DNQ'd was pre-Brexit referendum iirc! Thanks Bre for those streak statistics too, always very interesting to read. I was one short of appearing in that other list

Posted by: uhsting 5th April 2020, 09:56 AM

Also thanks to Harve for the 4 points! I enjoyed Lloren's "More" and should deserve a qualification. Thanks to everyone for all their entries!
