Posted by: NocheLuna 18th October 2019, 07:21 PM
* Lotunia and Cor Lupus must vote in both semifinals.
* Only vote in the semifinal your song is in, unless you are Lotunia or Cor Lupus.
* You must only vote for your Top 10 songs using the Eurovision voting system (12 | 10 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1).
* Send your votes to me, NocheLuna.
* Deadline: 24.10 | 23:59PM (UK Time) . Non-voters will receive a 33% deduction from their entry's semifinal score.
* Results will hopefully be presented the day after, with 18 songs from each semifinal joining Lotunia and Cor Lupus in the final.
* Have fun

2 ghost related entries for Spooktober 
(I had GHOST DATA as a potential with a different song before so cool to see him showing up here, looking forward to hearing this one).
RÜFÜS DU SOL is Vülker's anniversary entry btw before anyone queries why that wasn't vetoed 
Posted by: Call Me Cody 18th October 2019, 07:36 PM
sorry I had to do it on em, had to be prepared for not getting an AQ 
this is probably my most polished Halloween themed entry after (ironically) “Ghosts”
lots of artists I recognized, moreso in semi 2 than semi 1. Harry sending one of my favorite songs from Jaira 
and great to see SKAAR entered as well, I’ve yet to listen to this one so hopefully it matches to her other two songs released within the past year!
Posted by: TheJü-Pumpkin 18th October 2019, 07:46 PM
Actually not too bad a semi for me perhaps this time!
Few I recognise here; BENEE, Olivia, Amber of course I sent before, Rufus du Sol, Erika, Tobtok, Moon Boots, Ralph and a few others but not with those songs! Some quite well known ones here too like Anohni and Gabby Aplin!
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 18th October 2019, 07:50 PM
So it was Espen who sent my first entry then! It is genuinely an beautiful track so I'll be really disappointed if it DNQs and even more disappointed if it wins
Posted by: lewistgreen 18th October 2019, 07:54 PM
Floored by Klum Rep sending Da Tweekaz *.*
Posted by: Klumpkin 18th October 2019, 07:57 PM
I'm on a novelty dance run currently! I did want to change up the genre this month but nothing else really stood out like Jagermeister does currently!
Posted by: lewistgreen 18th October 2019, 08:00 PM
Hardstyle is seriously underrepresented here. I can’t remember the last entry unless that was my own with LNY TNZ in 74!
Posted by: dandy* 18th October 2019, 08:02 PM
Looking forward to this!
Posted by: Wicked Wombat of the West 18th October 2019, 08:05 PM
That looks a pretty decent-ish semi for me going by assumptions, again, I don't have much expectations but I hope some can make a good discovery out of it as it's so beautiful :'(
I've heard of quite a few of these artists, but none of the songs!
Posted by: BridgeCow 18th October 2019, 08:12 PM
Omg Liam taking Franky Wah
Jagermeister!!!!! That is a STAPLE song at our seshes lmaoooo

come thru 6th Q

Jagermeister!!!!! That is a STAPLE song at our seshes lmaoooo
the hype is live and direct
although I can't quite imagine a yodelling section at pre's ??

Not the ideal draw for good old Kamferdrops, but we shall SEE
Posted by: Addy K!ng 18th October 2019, 08:45 PM
Oh so what was the double/triple confirmation in the end?
And I don't know why I was expecting my entry to be vetoed lol...i guess paranoia everytime I send a new song
Posted by: Bréxit 18th October 2019, 08:51 PM
x(Singerpurear also originally confirmed a different song by Cerrone)
Posted by: Bloodjerdling 18th October 2019, 08:57 PM
I don't think I know any of the other entries this time! Unless they've been played on plug. Looking like a potentially great semi for my song, hooray.
Posted by: Liаm 18th October 2019, 09:36 PM
Ojnoj and Hushkanukia !!! 
Posted by: danG 18th October 2019, 09:59 PM
Could've been when I sent Headhunterz & Sound Rush in 111 (even if 'Rescue Me' is quite tame by the genre's standards).

Ooh, which one? I’ve been listening to a lot of his Shepherdess album lately and strongly considered ‘Nuclear Winter’ and ‘Wolf & Lamb’ but TOMIE’s main melody line won out over any from that album.
Brilliant electronic stuff on the whole. As for the semis, I know nothing, great inspiration guys.

Quite a few artists I recognize but don't know almost any of the songs. As for mine, you could say Deandria is having a mid-life crisis for her 50th anniversary but it's a total racket banger tbh ha.

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 19th October 2019, 06:16 PM
Just noticed Wholune have sent a former potential of mine! Interested to see how well it does for them...
Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 19th October 2019, 06:54 PM
As if there's an extended Shinichi Pogo remix and it's taken me 11 years to discover it exists. I even bought the remix EP and it only contained the 3 minute version of it!
Posted by: Call Me Cody 19th October 2019, 07:44 PM
keep repping my state okay

This one:
That was actually the one month that I decided to try posting a bunch of potentials in my national thread as I wasn't sure what to go for and you replied to it then so it may possibly sound familiar if you have a good memory...
Posted by: Jonjo 20th October 2019, 07:07 AM
Wholune providing that taste!! The Struts album is amazing and this is one of the top 3 on it.
Posted by: dandy* 20th October 2019, 01:03 PM
I’m glad you’ve sort of made a discovery then - I knew you’d already know it!
The mp3 in the pack is one of my usual slightly alternative takes on it
Posted by: gooddelta 20th October 2019, 06:11 PM
Semi 1 is brilliant, so many people have brought huge choruses and melodies this month <3 There are 12 songs I adore, I'm gutted to have to leave two out of my votes! Can only hope the majority of them make it through to the final.
Semi 2 has way more filler for me, and really only five or six I'd want to vote for if I was in that semi, but there are a couple of big standouts nevertheless.
Voting now...
Posted by: Bréxit 20th October 2019, 09:02 PM
plug.dj session for semi 1 tomorrow? I can host xx
Posted by: Bloodjerdling 20th October 2019, 09:05 PM
Sounds good! 
Posted by: Popchartfreak 21st October 2019, 10:45 AM
voted semi 1, not heard the rest yet.
Mentions for a former Singerpurear act Marianas Trench, and expecting Ultrav/land and Bhangra getting through with some indie/pop delights. That'll be the kiss of death then

Definitely down for a plug sesh tonight
Posted by: Tones and Iz 21st October 2019, 12:07 PM
Seems like a decent semi 2 from a quick runthrough but I haven't found TOO much that is standout, good thing I have time to give a second listen before the end though.

Preparing the playlist now, will start around 8-8:30 as ever! x
plug has a Halloween theme now *.*
Posted by: Bloodjerdling 21st October 2019, 09:19 PM
Just heard semi 1 on plug - major hype to Cowtermont, Fljótavík and Taahino!
Posted by: Bréxit 21st October 2019, 09:22 PM
Lots of great guitar songs in semi 1! Hype to Niceland, Rolloland, Utopia and Taahino. + the very not guitarry Cowtermont x (sounding like a mix of Uun and REZZ *.*) A bit of an average semi beyond that but got together a decent top 10.
Will do semi 2 plug session same time tomorrow. x
Posted by: TheJü-Pumpkin 21st October 2019, 09:28 PM
Thanks Bré
Posted by: Wicked Wombat of the West 21st October 2019, 09:36 PM
Voted early as for once I managed to make the whole plug session! Definitely peaked early as a semi but some very good songs in there, I echo that Cowtermont hype *.
Posted by: Bréxit 22nd October 2019, 12:05 AM
YouTube playlists belatedly added in post 3 x (minus Cowtermont as their song isn't on YouTube).
The video for Daehun's entry is an abridged version which is only 2 minutes of the song but it's the link Yu submitted so I presume he's fine with that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ the full version is easily findable as well ~
Posted by: BridgeCow 22nd October 2019, 09:14 AM
Omg thanks for Cowtermont hype guys
Posted by: lewistgreen 22nd October 2019, 09:53 AM
Riots will happen if you don’t Q.
Posted by: Veles Shadow 22nd October 2019, 02:55 PM
Oo an Aelandor recycle with BT. Shame it's in the opposite semi.
ETA: Also seems like a huge tune, really hope it gets through.
Posted by: Riser 22nd October 2019, 05:33 PM
I didn't realize my own entry is being geoblocked from me, mess.
Holland-Oats recycling BENEE Don't let her DNQ again!

Posted by: Bloodjerdling 22nd October 2019, 09:20 PM
My votes are in for semi 2! Wow, this was a semi full of some incredible highlights it was a heavily synthy + spooky semi though so was to be expected!!
Posted by: Bréxit 22nd October 2019, 09:39 PM
Think I have a pretty clear-cut top 10 for semi 2, plus 3 others that are quite strong as well, but a big dropoff to just 'ok' after that (so basically exactly half above average on first listen). Will do a second listen probably tomorrow before voting.
Hype to Deandria (#midlifecrisisbloc), Dobago (once again!! lowkey becoming one of my fave nations this year), Espen, Jadakissnia and Jupiterdonia among others xx

Posted by: MɅ††ᏆɅS 23rd October 2019, 10:47 AM
Voted. One song I wasn't expecting to vote for during the plug listen snuck into my votes on 2nd listen. Dat growing potential into a 1-pointer xo

Another DNQ on the cards, we love to see it.
Posted by: FrankLuck 23rd October 2019, 11:47 AM

a couple of songs ended up growing on me and got more points that I thought they were gonna get, great discoveries!
Posted by: dobbo 24th October 2019, 07:50 AM
Right, anyone know how I can listen to the Cowtermont entry without having to sign up for a Soundcloud account?
Posted by: Bréxit 24th October 2019, 11:06 AM
You don't have to be signed in to listen to songs on SoundCloud do you?
This embedded version should work if the website isn't letting you listen for whatever reason.
Posted by: dobbo 24th October 2019, 11:56 AM
Yep that's working thank you!
When I click on the link in the OP it takes me to like the homepage or something and asks me to sign up or sign in with no other option to avoid either. Very odd...

Amazing semi final!

Just 40 min left!
Update: Missing Cadelicia and Kluminican Republic
Posted by: LexC 24th October 2019, 10:36 PM
New Lexico has stuffed it in (to NocheLuna's inbox)!
Posted by: Bréxit 24th October 2019, 10:38 PM
!! I'm relistening to semi 1 atm and just got to Trifoski again and this actually makes a lot of sense as a comparison
would never have occurred to me the first time hearing it.
Posted by: NocheLuna 24th October 2019, 11:06 PM
Voting has now closed
We got a full set from the voters in sf2. 28/30 voted in sf1 (missing votes were from Cadelicia and Kluminican Republic), they will receive a 33% deduction from their original score.
(I think that is correct? feel free to correct me if I am wrong)
Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner 24th October 2019, 11:35 PM
Yes mate that is indeed correct!!
Posted by: dobbo 25th October 2019, 08:12 AM
Well damn, if Jagermeister doesn't qualify that'll mean the 2 best entries of the year will both have DNQ'd (alongside Trip To Ireland). Who knew I had such a penchant for yodelling hardcore?
Posted by: lewistgreen 25th October 2019, 09:56 AM
Da Tweekaz still better qualify omg 
Posted by: coi 25th October 2019, 10:07 AM
I missed semi 1, just listened to Jägermeister and omg I'll be so gutted if it doesn't qualify.
Posted by: Bréxit 25th October 2019, 11:09 AM
Aw I was a fan of both of those songs (especially Cadelicia which was their best entry for a while), hope they might still have a chance to get through.
Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner 25th October 2019, 12:04 PM
I’m not holding my breath for qualification this month. Wrong semi effect has been a killer this year.
Posted by: CandyCornCody 25th October 2019, 12:42 PM
le sigh if Cadelicia dnq’s with one of their best songs because of a deduction 
Posted by: Oliver 25th October 2019, 04:10 PM
Sorry guys, these past few weeks have been incredibly busy, what with moving and now I'm going to Boston for a week.
I'll try and vote in the final (whether I'm there or not is another issue)!

we looking at results tonight m'darling? excited
Posted by: NocheLuna 25th October 2019, 07:04 PM
