Without further ado I will pass you along to the host of each semi final for anything they might like to say and wish you all the best of luck (apart from Bellamia) over the course of the next week and I look forward to seeing 30 of you in Darpabrak for the final next week.
Baranski out
The citizens of the Capital city of Aquafina, Pixies, are in celebration that they are involved with Altyr's first contest as winners of BJSC and hope you celebrate the occasion by ensuring an Aquafina win. Semi Final 2 is ran by the superior host, while the quality in Semi Final 1 is at an equal standard, the main reasons being Aquafina are in Semi Final 1 and Séyetana's amazing song is in Semi Final 2. So 'What Are You Waiting For?' get voting in Semi Final 2, 'Up' is where Aquafina as a nation go from here. I am 'Not Giving Up'. I do give up because I'm rambling on a fair amount.

I am excited ! My entry (Hushkanukia) is by far my favourite entry so far
omg CHEZ!
rontvia/harmonica have the same song tho?
mess tbh
check them links lee
All links will be fixed post X Factor
Well that's me in big trouble. I'm sure Rontvia would have confirmed before me, guess I might be sitting out then :\
Just casually changing that stray 'l' in my artist to an 'i' It's TEI SHI
But anyway, yay for being in Lee's semi - and it's almost like it's 2011 again with IU and Smith & Thell in there too, ha! Will look forward to those.
BOOM
Sorry for the cock up/delay
MP3 packs have also been added, Zippyshare (the alternate links) and Sendspace have both been provided courtesy of Eledan.
wanted: 20 spaces
Oop I'd just bought my mp3 from Amazon (already late in doing so)
Going to use it to change the link though as the only YouTube video I could find of my song is slightly pitched afaia
what's an aquafina.p?
Been quite a while since a former UK top five was sent to the contest! Complete reminds me of working at Asda in the hot 2003 summer
Mess I wanted to send Feet On The Ground a while ago, but I figured it'd be veto'ed
Yep, We send a UK top 5 hit (from over a decade ago) and I still keep my no-veto record, when will your faves? I figured it wouldn't sound too out of place here and not everyone would know of it, so I hope it's a discovery for some of you.
I know a lot of the artists this time around across the two semis, less so in here, FSR Rontvia sending a former artist of ours as well (and Riser too initially I believe ), let's hope it does better than Anna Sun did for me!
I'm all about the DNQ recycling recently
So what happened to Susanne Sundfor? I confirmed her but was told she was already taken. (She is probably in these lists somewhere and I've just not seen her)
Well this is a pretty inspired looking semi, hooray. I think I probably should be able to qualify out of that lot as well (FURA hype).
I haven't been cheap for ages so I thought i'd earned a month off
Hayley Kiyoko coming for your qualification spot and/or relevance.
ya'see Lexico ha Math hype!
(that's what the kids are saying these days right?)
I guess it must be auto correction for Elvana song...it is Afer dhe Larg...not After and Large.
autocorrect? more like lee's incompetence.
p.s.: i do not see any misspellings in the first post (apart from the missing space) though. r u ok?
p.p.s.: lee still a hoe
Can I have a space between HellenVissers please? Should be Hellen Vissers.
It's also Jaimeson not Jamieson
(pedant hat coming off now)
mp3s and more specifically tags are ***flawless so you don't have to worry much~
Voted! Quite a decent semi, way more diverse than Semi 1 too which is good. I only rated one song 9/10 though, everything else was below that, perhaps I'm being harsher the longer I participate
My entry has finally been given the studio audio treatment and the link has updated from the live to that!
The link for 'Sex O'Clock' is broken. I have a feeling this may not be a bad thing.
https://soundcloud.com/breedloveandchewfu/sex-oclock appears to work ~
Was just about to post that lol. I found it on youtube so it was all good.
Cumulonimbia hype. CHOO CHOO
From the title I was expecting some sort of low-key remix of an indie track from 'Taxi'. Nope. Trance. I'm happy with that bait and switch.
Submitted my votes anyway, not a particularly vintage~ semi but it has its moments as usual. Six or seven great songs and then a few more good ones. There is one highly unexpected country in my top 3 alongside two absolutely expected ones
voting now re: my semi... but i'm in new york next weeka nd assume i will miss the voting deadline for the final, can i send full rankings or is this where the consecutive appearances end?
LEE ur inbox is le full.
Well really a FINAL RANK should be sent to MOI given I will be handling all that.
Elina Born is in this! I did remember I knew it from somewhere. Eurovision Estonian NF in 2013.
okay desbuanda's entries keep slaying 2014. 3 times in a row now. u need to STAHP it desbuanda

ps. all them guys and mariah scary too come n find me
Voted.
Varakë has voted.
Voted
Votes be sent. People may scoff at my 12 pointer but they can GTFO!
Breedlove & Chew Fu - Sex O'Clock link doesn't even work for me, 0 points!!
Fuming that the Anouk card already been played, a veto will do her justice.
Lol at Jack not even fixing his link ~
Before I vote, I need to be sure it's this one:
I think it's safe to assume that, as there probably isn't another song called 'Sex O'Clock' by Breedlove and Chew Fu
let's be honest though Take That is far better than Sex O'Clock in terms of Chew Fu productions.

BITCHES PLZ.
This might be because it's the first time i've been BUSY during one of these, but having less than a week to vote has proven very difficult. I know there were complications with opening the semi final, but it could have meant the deadline got pushed back a bit too? I understand John has to arrange it around his plans, but would have been nice to have more weekend time to vote, like Saturday morning/night too. I will try my best to get them done tonight anyway, just means it will be based on a very rushed listen through which isn't how i like to do it~
I won't be voting until the last possible moment, mainly to annoy Lee - but actually because I've just worked a 46 hour week and have had zero time to properly give these a listen.
Next time, if you start the semi late because of being a FLOP, how about extending the deadline a bit?
Desbuanda voted last night so bold me up please Lee
Doctor Bitch bitching it up
(it doesn't affect me as I was able to vote on time anyway but I agree the deadline probably should have been / should be extended by a day to make up for the start being delayed a day)
Oh sh*t, the deadline is today! Only gotten through 10 songs so will go through the other 20 this hour!
It was more of a shambles than the one in York city, and I put the blame fully on the ENTIRE BJSC team.
I'm stacked on homework, GCSE revision and sporting commitments on weekdays so they are gridlocked at the moment. Would've been a bit better if we had the weekend but no worries
I've listened to all the songs, so some further quick listens will be done later to sort out my votes but yeh I agree with the above. I know there's commitments and stuff nut I really could have done with the weekend. It's alright saying don't confirm if you're busy, but I confirmed in the belief that the semi deadline would be at least this weekend when I knew I had time.
No moaning or shade or anything, just points I would like to put forward before being moaned that I'm leaving it until last minute when that is not my fault as I have had bery important real life deadlines that have finished before this weekend (for now).
Anyway, no worries Lee.
You'll get my results sent over in 10 separate PMs (one for each position), since you're able to use your time so much more EFFICIENTLY than the rest of us. Enjoy!
Tension!
Triple checking my top ten by the way.
I have a prelim rank but I want to go through them all again for my peace of mind and I'm finding it very hard to motivate myself to start.
Votes will probably be in before 11, Lee.
I've had a ridiculously busy week and really have a mountain of other things to be doing other than listening to songs now, so I've had to rush through this with just one listen each. Apologies to all the growers, but yeah real life>>> soz
I'll still be voting soon.
There will be no extensions.
Geeky fact to lighten the mood: The last I recall Smith & Thell being entered it was with a song called Kill It With Love, now they're back for the first time since then and there's also a song with that same title with a different artist
I've now voted. Really liked my top 3 but the rest of my votes were merely good to a mere 7.5/10 so very, very disappointing semi. Hoping that Semi 1's better and a lot of these are actually growers that suffered with just one listen.
Voted.
I thought that was a coincidence too about Smith & Thell although I believe 'Illusion' was also entered in between this and 'Kill It With Love', but still a big coincidence like you say!
Are we sure this is the same Smith & Thell though? I mean, 'Illusion' was actually GOOD.
Voted
The start of Cumulonimbia's vid!!!!!!!!
I didn't notice it before, that's hilarious!
There's one song I really wish I'd given more points to here now Luckily it's one that'll have no problem qualifying so it will probably be suitably rewarded in the final
Glad Smith & Thell's new sound has finally clicked with you!
The only thing it clicked was the trigger of the gun I was holding to my head while listening to it.
I enjoyed revisiting Jaimeson ("Complete" was my fave, but I did also like "True") - the other song in the Top 40 the week that charted at #4, which I loved at the time, was Richard X and Kelis' "Finest Dreams". August 2003 was also when the UK recorded its hottest day on record. *Factoid*
Damnit Iz, this is why on your first listen you don't go 'oh that's one's nice, I like this one, and that one, that one's not bad either' until you end up with TWENTY EIGHT out of 30 you 'wouldn't mind' voting for. Best semi I've been in for a long long time. Or maybe I'm just in a good mood.
There were definitely quite a number of fantastic discoveries even if I raise my standards a bit though, 5 songs I'd happily call a favourite. Which gives me a nice top 5. And that means I've voted.
10 PMs heading your way Lee.
Voting complete.
I'm sorry for the tight deadline people, but 6 day deadlines are not without precedent. You will have a whole 7 days for the final.
Boted
Voted ~
A top 2 consisting of countries i rarely point highly, if at all, so yay for that.
Everything calculated.
Everybody voted minus Terra Di and Bignia
EVERY WOMEN EVERY MAN JOIN THE BJSC RESULTS AT 19:05
STAND UP.
how did Nicky Romero not make the final? just listening to semi 2 entries, that's the only one that leaps out among those flopping...
