Just under an hour and a half until results commence at 6pm... which 40 countries will qualify and which 20 will fall at the final hurdle?
In the mean time, let's have a little music...!
Lol I got a notification that you uploaded 'Boom Boom' to YouTube. Iconic x
Much excitement etc. (pretty confident I will have made it this time so watching out for some of my less secure faves)
Looking forward to it!
Hoping I've done enough especially after the hype from the other semi, hoping my faves have made it too.
coming to dnq again.
(hopefully not but I think my entry will be quite borderline, could go either way)
ffs Cody I'm just about to watch it
It’s nice to be able to sit back and relax this time *.* good luck everyone!
fingers crossed for KSHMR! Hopefully The Spook Returns for the final.
Jadakissnia: Active Child - All Eyes On You
The Actual Republic of Bellamia: Lewis Blissett - Killing Butterflies
A big shocker I know xx
Well, I got to know 40 minutes earlier than I wanted who finished 3rd in Big Brother...
Now let's see if my 50th entry got more than 10 points
Scherzland: Gemini Rising, Tensnake & Fiora - Speed Of Sound
Holland-Oats: Jordie Ireland feat. Riley Biederer - Throw Away My Number
St. Burbia: Amrit Maan feat. Jasmine Sandla - Mithi Mithi [30th, 12 points]
It would be nice to qualify from quite a pop field but who knows! I only ever seem to get big points in the finals :')
Also I would be totally here for a Jade double
I knew 'Mithi Mithi' was gonna be a very long shot </3 still here for it though (would have been my 5 pointer in semi 1). #BJSCSoWhite
Yay for Scherzland. x
Thelonia: Ben Gold - The City Sleeps Tonight
Wholune: The Band CAMINO - Something To Hold On To
Tinnmark: Fasion - FEELINS [30th, 9 points]
Wholune qualifying? Congrats!!
whoody will be so happy when he sees this
Wholune finally qualifying again I thought this one sounded a little more widely appealing than most of their recent entries so hooray.
Hendinia: I Am Boleyn - Too Much (F9 Radio Edit)
FSR Rontvia: Lily Moore - Over You
Land of DW: Szabó Balázs Bandája feat. Julie Rens - Hétköznapi [29th, 19 points]
woohoo! first up thanks for the q! congrats to the other qualifiers so far x
Not really a surprise to see Hétköznapi out I guess. At least it didn't come last, that really would have been unfair!
Kluminican Republic: KSHMR, B3nte & Badjack - The Spook Returns
Persephonia: Kćlan Mikla - Draumadís
Dobago: Fabrizio Parisi & MiYan feat. Belonoga - Sunbeams [29th, 14 points]
Land of DW was a lovely song but would likely have not qualified even with a better semi draw imo so with the really bad one it did get there was never a chance.
Hendinia is a good one, hopefully finally the one to give them a slightly bigger hit? FSR has been growing on me a bit too though it is a little Poundland Amy Winehouse.
edit: yay I qualified thanks for the early reveal although I was v confident this time anyway xx Klum is a good one too, 2 spooky songs through at once yay
Hoo-rah, watching from work which is a first I think! So glad Lily is through
No major surprises for me so far.
yay the spook IS returning!
Persephonia was alright so not begrudging that a place in the final! Dobago and Tinnmark both deserved to be out so justice has been served
Vülkyria: Antony & Cleopatra - Why Don't You Just Call Me
Rolloland: UNKLE feat. Richard Ashcroft - Lonely Soul
United States of Jack: Becky G - Secrets [28th, 24 points]
Two great qualifiers there! Particularly glad to see Rolloland make it!
I did think this was a weaker fare than most songs Dobago has sent of the like but I didn’t expect it to be that low in the semi
The 2 non-voters probably wouldn't have helped it but eeek at Becky G, another one I quite liked from USoJ...
Vülkyria and Rolloland both pretty big growers from semi 1.
Ojnoj: Indiana - My Friends Don't Like You
New Lexico: September feat. Birgitta Haukdal - Ađeins Nćr Ţér
East Rukahavian: BESS - Pidä Musta Kii [28th, 25 points]
Oh noooo! And in a dancebloc heavy semi
Finally Wholune have another qualifier!
yay New Lexico!
FARC: NAATIONS - Air & Water
Ultraviolenceland: Lucy Daydream - You.
Flynnonda: Waterparks - Dream Boy [27th, 28 points]
Happy for New Lexico for Icelandic solidarity, and a song cramming all of the weird Icelandic letters into its title x (the song is alright)
Ooh pleasantly surprised UVland have made it!! One of their best entries for me but was expecting it to fall short, hope it can perform decently enough in the final.
Flynnonda I think is similar to Land of DW, would have struggled even in the other semi I think unforch.
I'd have given Waterparks top points!
flynnonda racism back after a three month vacation?
Espen: DEVILNOTCRY - NotEnoughOfYou
Suedeonia: Shakespears Sister & Richard Hawley - When She Finds You
Enty: Two Feet - Pink [27th, 34 points]
omg that UVLand song, are we sure that isn’t a Lust For Life reject?
Yass Espen
Shakespears Sister making it is quite surprising, especially in the opposite semi from the likes of Singerpurear and Rolloland! A very pleasant song though ~
well a lot of the songs I thought would DNQ are in which means I’m probably out soon
Not Dobbo only getting 14 points, 5 of those from me! This Dobago racism needs to end NOW! #enddobagoracism
Hurrah for Thelonia tho.
Tartford: Otto Knows - About You
Břtanikkä: Ayla - Angelfalls (Elemental Force)
Utopia: beabadoobee - She Plays Bass [26th, 29 points]
Utopia 💔 That would've most likely received big points from me... There was just something so endearing about it.
Oh nooo at Utopia, I thought that one could have done quite well, it was reminding me a little of Hatchie! another of my would-be votes out.
Břtanikkä an essential very surprised that Tartford have made it with a song that sounds like hold music but I guess it must have its fans...!
yay botanikka, a true banger
Terra Avium: The Snake Charmer - Nageena (Siren Of The Sands)
Cor Lupus: Hanne Mjřen - Strangers
Cadelicia: AMA - Crystal [26th, 37 points]
YES for Břtanikkä! I was worried cos it looked like it was in the wrong semi but glad to see it's made it through anyhow.
never mind
yay for qualifying in the non pop semi! thanks everyone!
Fantastic to see my song go through. I was a little worried about its chances.
Woo for Terra Avium, wasn't super confident they'd make it! Though I reserve the right to be salty if it does better than me in the final now after passing over it when I first found it x Cor Lupus is also p good.
Cadelicia's song was growing on me but it didn't really stand out thaaat much so not too surprising to see it out.
Oh thank god for that!
But WTF @ East Rukhavian - y'all mofos need jesus
République d'Áskorza: Lena & Nico Santos - Better
Lotunia: Charlotte Lawrence - Why Do You Love Me
Harmonica: Joseph - Fighter [25th, 35 points]
Joseph not qualifying in a Joseph contest
what’s happening with harmonica that’s granted them with such racism lately?
</3 Harmonica, I really liked that one, had a great chorus. 3rd of my top 10 of semi 1 to fall gah.
A second DNQ on the trot? Let me quit BJSC again real quick
Danćviia: Croatia Squad - Ven Pa Ca
Séyetana: PinocchioP - I'm Glad You're Evil Too
Aelandor: Masego - Navajo [25th, 37 points]
Ooh Séyetana actually did make it, hooray! Good to see Danćviia back in the final too.
Shame about Aelandor but that is slightly higher than I'd have predicted it.
yaaaaas danćviia!
Lotunia and Danćviia qualifying, great stuff.
Kylienips: Au/Ra - Dance In The Dark
Altyr Muunilinst: Boston Bun - Don't Wanna Dance
Budtar: GATTÜSO & Damon Sharpe - When In Rome [24th, 37 points]
Great to see Au/Ra make it through! And I heard Don't Wanna Dance at a uni party I went to last night, that impact.
yessss thank you all! means I can keep my record of never DNQing more than twice in a row since 2013!
Disappointed at Budtar DNQing, had that at the top of my list for the semi I accidentally ranked!
Oslol: Bjřrn Olav Edvardsen & Arcteec - Mountains
Summericia: Covenant - Dead Stars
Taahino: The Big Moon - Your Light [24th, 39 points]
Utopia and Harmonica are big losses, both in my top three of the semi Where did the pretty melodic indie pop fans go this month (the other semi?)
Another one I liked falling out, the best Taahino song in a whole for me
Not another one of Taahino's best entries DNQing </3 first one of my votes to go out from semi 2.
2 more v good qualifiers there though especially Summericia ~
bud tar not making it in is disappointing
Fljótavík: Jenny Hval - Ashes To Ashes
Greenfroze: EVERGLOW - Adios
Unovia: Illy - Then What [23rd, 39.6 points with deduction]
Would it have Qd without the deduction?
YES EVERGLOW *.*
Yayayayay *.* Enchantress of the BJSC more like
All good results so far, though not happy at Dobago (I gave that a sizeable chunk of its overall points D:) and Taahino going out, lovely songs.
A shame to lose Illy because of the deduction </3 was a little bit of a diet bop.
Yay for FLJ x
Unovia not bothering to vote has cost them a place in the final, oops.
Niceland: Lola Marsh - Echoes
Sergeistan: Zivert - Beverly Hills
Deandria: Niyaz - Sabza Ba Naz (The Triumph Of Love) [23rd, 45 points]

Cowtermont: Feed Me feat. Rosie Doonan - Feel Love

Trifoski: Moses Sumney - Rank & File
Here's hoping we get two songs called Echoes in the final then!
Also great to see Sergeistan qualify in their first contest!
Pfffft. Not super shocked but very disappointed that Deandria are out, that was my 12. Crai. Good to see Sergeistan qualifying on their debut though (although I've since heard another song by Zivert ('Life') that I liked a lot more than this one oops!)
Arcodesia to qualify pls (also oh my at 'We Are W.I.T.C.H.' being this high *_*)
good to see Sergej qualify on his first attempt!
Cowtermont better go through or we riot.
countries qualifying in their first contest? we love to see it *.*
Arcodesia: God Is An Astronaut - Echoes
Aeroche: MXMS - Gravedigger
Aesthetica: Niki And Gabi - hair tie [22nd, 41.58 points with deduction]
Deandria nooo
I wonder what two countries got lucky by qualifying due to deductions this contest
Thank you everyone so much for the qualifier, this was something that really cheered me up after my failed driving test.
Thank the lord for Arcodesia!! Hope they should do pretty well in the final now after getting over the hurdle of the semi. Really liked Aeroche again this month too.
Aww at Aesthetica missing out because of the deduction as well, not a fave but it was decent for what it was and did slightly grow on second listen.
yes for Aeroche/Arcodesia!
What a relief that is!!!!!
Skall: Korallreven - The Highest State Of Grace
Cowtermont: Feed Me feat. Rosie Doonan - Feel Love
Quintessa: PONGO - Kassussa [22nd, 51 points]
AH I want more than half of them to qualify in semi two! One is gonna be a big loss! I think Cowtermont and Quintessa are through - then either Trifoski or Skall. oops I'm wrong.
We Are W.I.T.C.H. might actually make the final?
Really hoping Jupiterdonia have done enough.
Yeeeez
Thanks everyone for making Ayla Q.
Yayyy for Cowtermont not DNQing again (I'd have been shocked but then I was shocked their last two went out as well so). Skall back as well (Y)
I wasn't expecting Quintessa to make it but blah at them coming so close - I think this entry may have been entered a little bit too late, it's a summer song x
YES to Cowtermont! (and Skall were v good too)
Hushkanukia: Marion Raven - We Are W.I.T.C.H.
Singerpurear: Paul Kalkbrenner - No Goodbye
Jupiterdonia: Delain - Masters Of Destiny [21st, 44 points]
I’m ready to put my clown makeup on just in case Daehun doesn’t make it in the final after all that teasing
OH MY GOD WE ARE WITCH QUALIFIED
this is gonna be such an iconic semi lmao
Oh no at Jupiter
That was such a highlight
A tad stressful leaving it till the end but glad I'm in!
fuck the voters
Jupiterdonia robbed!!
Jupiterdonia another one of my faves, lost quite a few from semi 1. Just a bad semi for that, I'm sure it'd have done quite well if it had got better luck of the draw.
Hahaha at 'We Are W.I.T.C.H.' actually qualifying!! I'm here for it tbh.
Trifoski: Moses Sumney - Rank & File

That's a shame Jupiterdonia is out. Great song.
Wow, YES at The HU making it in!
Thanks to everyone for making this a smooth process for me, I'll hand you over to the brilliant Jade for the final!!
Wasn't expecting Jupiter's entry to be out, even I liked it!
And the right two songs to end on! (thank god Beaverdonia are through because a) it's one of the best songs and b) I'd definitely have forever accused you of corruption if they were 21st as I was worried they'd be for a moment lmaooo).
Daehun actually coming that close to qualifying argh

Thanks for hosting those results,Joseph.
I’m honestly surprised to have qualified - but happy to continue a reasonably decent streak!
Apologies for not commenting along, I asked Joseph if I could know the results in advance so I could prep the final thread tonight! Will drop it at the round time of 8 I am shook but so happy that Hushkanukia qualified, yassss! Jupiterdonia was a big surprise for me, that was getting winning predictions on plug
losses;
semi 1
03 Utopia: beabadoobee - She Plays Bass
Utopia deserved better but that went very well *.*
semi 2

My 3s were cursed
Thanks for this Joseph, you've done a brilliant job with it all!
Suspect I knocked myself out. Oh well. Thx for the 2 12s.
This random setting up of the semis seems to punish a lot of songs disproportionately tbh. Maybe when I come to host it'll disappear.
I AM SCREAMING
GUARDIANS UNITE!!!!!!!!
ARGHHHH WE DID IT

Deandria and Taahino were both ones I predicted through so rather disappointing losses, got through a couple of ones that I like but predicted out though so swings and roundabouts...

16th United States of Jack

Thank f*** I actually Q’d
Fab hosting and keeping me on tenterhooks to the end after a day lazing on a sunny Sitges beach was fun 2 in a row for singerpurear! I'm off out shortly to some bars in my bestest gear to celebrate getting through and having no responsibilities for a few days
Ps great ultraviolenceland through, more hype please!
ugh ffs
Ahh Deandria and Taahino are surprising dnqs.
Well at least She Plays Bass got some fans, a shame it didn't appeal to more. I thought it would do quite well. Can't believe I didn't qualify but We Are Witch did! That's even worse than Klumzee's song from the last contest.
Harmonica was the only song I liked that didn't qualify, and it didn't quite make the points for me, so all 10 through. Final voting will be tough
idk what y'all want from me!!!!
Not both me and my 12 dnqing Poor brave Waterparks and Illy
Ugh I'm disappointed ngl, to finish that low with a song I was genuinely confident in. It was a very strong semi but still
I'm pretty happy with who did qualify, from my top 10 only 'hair tie' missed out (but HOW???). Thanks Joseph for hosting!
MEH
Not meant to be for us this time. East Rukahavian will be back.
Thank you all, apart from Flynnonda everything qualified
Phew! I'd convinced myself I'd be out after initially being confident so very nice to see myself through, thanks guys
I did lose my 12, which was: 12 Aelandor: Masego - Navajo, and that is unfortunate because it was the clear best song in the semi as soon as I heard it (those Native American sounds, such a beaut), and then Taahino was my 11th so unfortunate to see that one out, but considering the rest of my votes qualified, pretty good results.
Oh yes and Delain not making it was something I'd never considered, that's a real shame. One of the best tracks I've heard from them. Utopia's entry was great too, I'd heard it before and wondered briefly about it myself.
jupiterdonia and taahino
