Posted May 6, 201510 yr . http://i.imgur.com/sbEeLMT.png Welcome to the semi-finals of Perseventyfive™, where all you lovely people will cast your judgement on 34 other songs over the next week (and myself over SEVENTY of them). All your votes, plus a set from the host nation in both of the semis, will be pooled together to determine which 40 of the following 70 songs - 20 from each semi - will join Persephonia in the grand finale. First things first, deadline - 23:59 BST on Wednesday the 13th of May, 2015. If you want to avoid receiving a points deduction you'd better make sure your votes are in my inbox by then! I will say this in advance so people don't accuse me of accepting votes that unfairly change qualifiers, I will accept votes received after this as long as they arrive before the results start, but any such voters will still receive a 15% deduction so that's not giving you free rein to do that. If you don't vote at all you will receive the standard full 33% deduction which will REALLY bugger up your chances of making it through. EXECUTIVE DECISION EDIT: 15% deduction clause cancelled, please have your votes in by 18:00 BST on Thursday the 14th of May, 2015 if they aren't in already. Any votes before this will not receive a deduction, any people who do not vote by this time will receive the full 33% penalty. Please locate yourself in one of the two semi-finals below - you will vote in that semi-final and only that semi-final, though you are of course free to (and I encourage you to!) have a listen to the choix cuts in the other semi too. Once you've listened through all the songs and formed your favourites, just drop this account (¡bré!) a PM with your 10 favourite songs under the standard 12 point voting system: 12pts YOUR FAVE 10pts YOUR 2ND FAVE 8pts YOUR 3RD FAVE 7pts YOUR 4TH FAVE 6pts YOUR 5TH FAVE 5pts YOUR 6TH FAVE 4pts YOUR 7TH FAVE 3pts YOUR 8TH FAVE 2pts YOUR 9TH FAVE 1pts YOUR 10TH FAVE And of course don't vote for yourself. That about covers everything. Apart from of course a reminder of this month's AUTO-QUALIFIER, from the host nation Persephonia. You can't vote for this yet unfortunately, save yourself for the final :o Here's some stuff you might find useful for this contest: MP3 Packs Semi-Final 1 part 1 ~ Semi-Final 1 part 2 Semi-Final 2 part 1 ~ Semi-Final 2 part 2 Semi-Final Recaps You can find a standard text version of the semi-finals (for your copy and pasting voting purposes) in the second post, and a list of the countries who have voted and not voted at the bottom of this post.

May 6, 201510 yr Lee, JSG and Lewis in the wrong semi :banghead: At least I have Dan I suppose :D Also, first time I've been in semi 2 :magic:
May 6, 201510 yr Semi Final 2 again, then! Already seeing quite a few fantastic songs in there with me. Looking forward to all these discoveries!
May 6, 201510 yr I know 4 tracks from my Semi, Sinead Hartnett, (artist used in a previous round with a different track), Samantha Urbani, Best Coast and Simon Patterson. But voting for 10 tracks out of 35 tracks is going to be so cruel
May 6, 201510 yr Author Why is is Yehesi TBA ? They got vetoed and haven't provided a replacement yet, but I didn't want to delay the semis (to avoid my artist parade thread clashing with the election ~) so I got permission from the mods to start the semis without Yehesi and add them in when they reconfirm (tonight hopefully).

What a treatment, so royal-ish. I hope he reconfirms though.
May 6, 201510 yr I shall adopt the stage name of TBA and put up a song on Soundcloud titled "Cos Tim is a Cheap Hoe" so I can say I took part in a song contest as a performer.
May 6, 201510 yr Author I shall adopt the stage name of TBA and put up a song on Soundcloud titled "Cos Tim is a Cheap Hoe" so I can say I took part in a song contest as a performer. Ketalina actually is in this contest tho. (Hitstastic (R.I.P.) almost won for us once as well!!1!)
May 6, 201510 yr So many vetoes and we're still left with various http://guesstheemoji-answers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/eyes.jpg artists. More Florina recycling though with Halsey this contest, following on from Cash+David and the attempt to enter Vanic again!
May 7, 201510 yr Author Was gonna wait up for Tim's sang but it's 1am now and gotta sleep so Yehesi's song probably won't be up in here until like 4pm tomorrow earliest. (Hopefully it'll be in my inbox by then at least) So many vetoes and we're still left with various http://guesstheemoji-answers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/eyes.jpg artists. The list does look sooooo much more inspired than it did at one stage though :lol: But indeed there are still a decent handful of eyebrow-raisers in there, the inspiration is really lacking for a lot of peoples this month it seems.
May 7, 201510 yr So what if Tim decides to send something that would be vetoed again? Would he be allowed to enter it due to the semi's starting already or will he be taken out of the contest? :unsure: (I'm not saying he will enter something that would usually be vetoed again)
