Welcome, ambassadors, to Polis, our city that lies at the heart of Taahino's Natblida Isle. We felt it more apt to host from a location known for forming allies, promoting unity and bridging connections between grounder clans and the BuzzJack Globe as a whole since we've formed a partnership with Ultraviolenceland in order to bring you this contest. There is much to see in Polis, it's surrounded by beautiful hillsides and has a dense history. It's the central meeting point for the clans under Lexa's Kongeda and the place in Taahino in which Commander Lexa herself calls home. It is said she can see the whole of the Isle from her tower. There's a bustling market, numerous tourist attractions and vibrant nightlife to be had in this part of the country so on behalf of everyone in Taahino, we hope you enjoy your time here.


Earlier this evening you were placed into opposing finals, below you will find all the nations participating in the second of the two. Anyone not listed will be going to Ultraviolenceland for their semi. It is important that you only vote in the final you're participating in.

Hype for Jade *.* I've already heard that somewhere (probably Spotify lol ) very catchy track. Only know of Lewis's song too. Can't wait to get stuck in again.

Posted by: travis 13th February 2017, 03:54 PM

Excited to give this a listen! I already know Daehun's, Oslol's, and Beaverdonia's tracks, but the rest are all new to me, as far as I know.

Any ideas when we might do a listen through?

Posted by: FrankLuck 13th February 2017, 04:27 PM

Mine (entry 8) should be Toktok instead of Tobtok (although the link says Tok Tok, I have not idea which one's correct)

Posted by: danG 13th February 2017, 04:49 PM

I think Toktok is correct.

yay a disadvantage i haven't had one of those in so long

Posted by: David 14th February 2017, 07:48 AM

Really strong semi - made a decent gym playlist this morning too. Only two songs I had to skip as I couldn't deal with the entire song, although I'm only up to song 22... At this rate, Bhangra will be bloody failing to qualify AGAIN!

Posted by: FrankLuck 14th February 2017, 10:09 AM

Well, I'm just listening to 'Give me a break Stop now' and I like it a lot (and we all know that it's not a good sign)

Hype, still.

Btw I'm fairly happy with the quality so far (I'm @ Daehun, started from the end) - many countries I don't usually give points to brought their A-games, I hope the first part will be just as good!

Posted by: JSG 14th February 2017, 03:27 PM

I really expect a dnq this month although if anyone gets a good discovery out then it was worth it 🙌🙌

Posted by: HausofSZA 14th February 2017, 08:30 PM

BOTED nice and early cus busy rest of week I liked the semi <3 my 12 to win please x

Posted by: Jade 14th February 2017, 09:33 PM

Posted by: gooddelta 15th February 2017, 09:16 PM

Voted, quite a few of my votes have gone to songs that are predicted to DNQ, I'm not sure that my tastes will align particularly well with the qualifiers this month, I'm finding a lot of the hyped songs overrated and there's quite a few gems hidden in the pack that nobody's mentioned yet.

Posted by: Rob S~ 15th February 2017, 09:42 PM

Voted! Not a very good semi overall but all of my top 10 stood out as well as 1 other.

Posted by: JSG 15th February 2017, 09:56 PM

Voted! I actually liked quote a lot here and had to cut a few in the end

Posted by: Jerick 15th February 2017, 10:10 PM

Vøted! Found a couple of great discoveries!

Posted by: AH Gold 16th February 2017, 02:31 PM

Voted! Hard ordering my top 4. Some great discoveries here.

Interesting stats, not as tell tale as yesterday, I expected worse for mine, surprised (but pleased) that a 6 minute dance track got no meh's!

Surprised at Desbuanda with only one woot, I think it's a strong track!

Posted by: Harve 17th February 2017, 05:42 AM

Posted by: SevenSeize 18th February 2017, 11:57 PM

Had more than 10 i wanted to vote for, good quality stuff *.*

"Taker" really needs to be a smash for Oslol btw ~

Posted by: Oliver 19th February 2017, 06:01 PM

That was possibly the worst semi I've ever been in. My 6-pointer was a solid 5/10.
