(just going to say now that at some point in the scoreboards [I mention when it happens in the commentary #nospoilers] a phantom 2 points get added to Arcodesia and Sergeistan get 2 removed, but this is all smoothed over by the final scoreboard so don't worry! Everything else is completely accurate throughout afaia)

Hendinia and Danæviia increase the dance influence in the top 5, plus Lotunia’s Billie Eilish-esque entry completes this cluster at the very top of the scoreboard in 4th.

Unfortunately Hushkanukia are still on 0 points with ‘We Are W.I.T.C.H.’ (sort it out guys!) but Hushky themselves and Deandria have generously helped a number of nations to rise off 0 with these votes. Beaverdonia, Bøtanikkä, Kluminican Republic and Singerpurear are still fighting for points at this early stage, in addition to Hushkanukia. Skall already become the first nation to receive two 18s, with both Tinnmark and now Deandria giving them the gold. 50% of their votes being 18s so far, what a strong start! Cheers erupt in your host nation also as we get off 0 in style, with a full 18 from Hushkanukia plus 9 from Deandria. This catapults us to 2nd place behind Skall. Cor Lupus also enter the top 5 - BJSC 74 power!

- Skall remain unbothered at the top despite two snubs here from Thelonia and Tartford. However, my own drought has more of an effect as Jadakissnia (amongst others) tumble out of the top 5, making room for Ultraviolenceland, Vülkyria and The Actual Republic of Bellamia. Cor Lupus complete the current top 5 as they rise to 2nd. Vülkyria have massively benefitted from an 18 and this is also the case with Oslol, as they enter the top 10. They’re smashing it on the YTD so far, can they add yet another hit to their repertoire this year? Elsewhere, it is now just Beaverdonia and Hushkanukia who are left on 0. Where are the W.I.T.C.H. and Mongolian throat singing stans at?

- Oh my, the impact of two votes in the early stages is not to be underestimated! Kylienips and Sergeistan send Skall tumbling down from 1st to 6th while none other than Jadakissnia surge to the top!! An 18 from Kylienips is our second of the night. Sergeistan are a brand new nation so everyone in that top 15 can add them to their ‘points received’ lists. Serge’s votes do not result in much foot-shooting as he’s sitting in the top 10 right now. Could he bag a top 10 hit on his first ever try? Watch this space! His 18 for Niceland results in the friendly nation vaulting to just outside of the top 20. New to the top 5 this time are Wholune representing the #rockbloc! None for Beaverdonia. Or the poor brave W.I.T.C.H. girls.

- Points from both Unovia and Bøtanikkä ensure that Jadakissnia stay at the top. But Vülkyria are hot on our heels as there’s just a 5 point gap now! This follows a full 18 points for them from Bøtanikkä. Unovia’s 18 for Hendinia puts them back in the top 5! Also, they lift Hushkanukia off 0 in style with a silver medal. Still none for Beav though. Unovia failed to vote in the semi-finals so where are all the other ‘We Are W.I.T.C.H.’ fans that helped to put it through? We shall have to wait and see. Another notable rise is Lotunia to the podium for the first time tonight in joint 3rd.

Thanks Addy! First points I've got from you for a little while I believe (and may be the same in reverse x).
I guess Hushkanukia would have qualified anyway even if there was a full house of votes in semi 1 if they've got 15 points from Unovia! Still interested to see who else actually voted for that xx
I hope you have enjoyed visiting The Actual Republic of Bellamia and Jadakissnia this month! We expect that constantly hearing Basil's 'Boom Boom' blaring out in the streets of both nations has been a positive experience. But you know what was even more of a positive experience? THIS FINAL! It was a pleasure to do multiple listen-throughs when the quality was so high. We always thought it would be tough when only 2/20 of our semi votes DNQed but yeah... it really was a bloodbath. We could type out commiserations for days and days but we've tried to limit it to 8 (!), so apologies to these nations:
23rd Cowtermont: Feed Me feat. Rosie Doonan - Feel Love 22nd Wholune: The Band CAMINO - Something To Hold On To 21st Danæviia: Croatia Squad - Ven Pa Ca 20th Fljótavík: Jenny Hval - Ashes To Ashes 19th Singerpurear: Paul Kalkbrenner - No Goodbye 18th Beaverdonia: The HU - Yuve Yuve Yu 17th Scherzland: Gemini Rising, Tensnake & Fiora - Speed Of Sound 16th Lotunia: Charlotte Lawrence - Why Do You Love Me
I'm pretty sure we helped out almost all of these songs in the semi-finals though!
Now, time for our votes...
01 Niceland: Lola Marsh - Echoes Edged its way into our points at the last minute! We appreciated the Lana Del Rey-esque vocals and found the general vibe to be a lot of fun.
02 Aeroche: MXMS - Gravedigger We are much appreciating the Aeroche dark renaissance of 2k19! The production in particular was killer on this one.
03 Skall: Korallreven - The Highest State Of Grace Can always count on Skall to bring the quality! I appreciated how this song progressed, especially when it reached the Friendly Fires-esque finale. We hope we've done you guys proud with our Skall recycle this contest.
04 Hushkanukia: Marion Raven - We Are W.I.T.C.H. I'm so shook that this qualified, in the best kind of way *.* This still doesn't feel like enough for such a tune of life! But yes, it had to slot into my votes even in such a strong contest. 'We Are W.I.T.C.H.' makes me so happy each time due to the nostalgic factor. <3 stans 4 life.
05 Terra Avium: The Snake Charmer - Nageena (Siren Of The Sands) This feels quintessentially Terra Avium and we're here for it! You can't go wrong with an outlandish ethno-bop. Minus points for the lack of "smash the notification bell" during the YouTuber outro though tbh.
06 The Actual Republic of Bellamia: Lewis Blissett - Killing Butterflies Our fellow AQ buddies! Wasn't it a fantastic feeling when we simultaneously got our best results ever last time?! *.* It's been an absolute pleasure to co-host with you! The song this month is excellent too, I definitely hear splatters of Troye Sivan. Who knew The Voice Kids housed actual talent?
07 Bøtanikkä: Ayla - Angelfalls (Elemental Force) Addy you often do retro dance so well and this is definitely one of those occasions! What a glorious trance experience, take our points.
08 Rolloland: UNKLE feat. Richard Ashcroft - Lonely Soul I was introduced to this track a few years ago when Dandy was trying to get me into UNKLE, but it's been a while since I last heard it, so thank you for reintroducing it to me! The instrumentation is stunning and Richard was a good fit alongside. Another one in my votes that progresses really well.
09 Espen: DEVILNOTCRY - NotEnoughOfYou A Jadakissnia contest without a witch house entry? I don't think so!! Thank you for providing such a gem, it's great that Russia are keeping the witch house scene alive. Foreign language vocals and spooky beats are a match made in heaven.
10 Arcodesia: God Is An Astronaut - Echoes This got my top points in the semi and I thought it was a dead cert for a medal, but this stayed about the same in my affections while a few others grew more. But 10 points is still absolutely fantastic, Arcodesia are becoming such an exciting nation for me right now. Gotta love a prog-rock instrumental!
11 Oslol: Bjørn Olav Edvardsen & Arcteec - Mountains Woah where did THIS come from?! *.* This is instantly one of your best entries to date. The falsetto vocals and synths are such a dreamy combination, it reminds me a bit of one of my own entries - 'Waves' by Hugar feat. Arnor Dan. Hope this can be yet another Oslol hit for 2019!
12 Persephonia: Kælan Mikla - Draumadís Normality is restored as Persephonia are firmly back in my points! This outcome didn't look so clear cut though as this 'only' got 2 points from me in the semi. This was due to the lo-fi nature of the vocals, I felt that they were quite drowned out. But it all clicked into place on subsequent listens as I got used to all the components of the song! I could never snub an Icelandic song really (well... except the New Lexico one. Oops. That was nice though) and those spooky synths really do the talking! Such a return to form for Persephonia.
13 Sergeistan: Zivert - Beverly Hills Wow, you could say that I am just a tad impressed with Sergeistan's debut entry! I had faith in you guys after knowing what your music taste was like beforehand. I adore the 80s-esque synth production coupled with bi-lingual vocals, there's such a timeless feel to the whole package. I simply must check out more from Zivert now that the album is out there! Thank you for the discovery and keep up the good work.
15 Summericia: Covenant - Dead Stars Okay, yes, this is more like it - Summericia are well and truly back *.* I feel like I haven't voted for you guys in a while but I was a huge fan a few years ago. This is the kind of stuff you do excellently, either spooky songs or synths! This harks back to the sound of Kraftwerk and of course I am 100% behind that. This has improved with every single listen and feels right to be up here in my medals. Congrats!
18 Trifoski: Moses Sumney - Rank & File Somehow I have never given Trifoski an 18 before despite the psychic nation being my 3rd favourite overall, what! Well, that has all changed now. I first heard of Moses Sumney via James Blake's latest album and he has not disappointed with his solo stuff! This is so addictive in its urgency and lyrical content. It was compared to Young Fathers on plug.dj and I can totally see that. Hope this absolutely smashes for you tonight!
Good luck everyone! Here's to a solid position for Active Child too. -gets back to inputting scores-
basic: 18 Trifoski: Moses Sumney - Rank & File 15 Summericia: Covenant - Dead Stars 13 Sergeistan: Zivert - Beverly Hills 12 Persephonia: Kælan Mikla - Draumadís 11 Oslol: Bjørn Olav Edvardsen & Arcteec - Mountains 10 Arcodesia: God Is An Astronaut - Echoes 09 Espen: DEVILNOTCRY - NotEnoughOfYou 08 Rolloland: UNKLE feat.

41 11 Bøtanikkä: Ayla - Angelfalls (Elemental Force) 42 0 Beaverdonia: The HU - Yuve Yuve Yu
- Now it’s time for votes from BJSC legends Aeroche and your very own hosts! Leww kindly adds 11 points to Jadakissnia’s total and I avoid any kind of foot-shooting, so Jadakissnia remain at the top. In fact a lot of my points were allocated to nations who aren’t doing so well, sort that out guys. Most notably, I’ve become Hushkanukia’s second voter and finally lifted Bøtanikkä to double-figures, can’t believe how long that took! Poor poor Beaverdonia, so close to finally getting points. Will their fortunes change soon? Aside from the nations who aren’t setting the board alight yet, we have given Sergeistan a substantial boost into the top 5! How exciting for them right now. My 18 for Trifoski has also lifted them into the top 15. Leww’s 18 to FARC pushes them up to just outside the top 20. A slow start for one of the year’s most successful countries but the night is still young. It’s looking close at the top - Jadakissnia, Vülkyria and Hendinia are all in the 70s! We could be in for an eventful night.

Persephonia
QUOTE
Good evening to the people of Jadakissnia and all international viewers, here with the results of the Persephonian televote, and we've managed to fix the minor voting bug that resulted in us snubbing Rompasso last month *cough* normal service is resumed
Our 18 with considerable ease goes to token post-rock entry of the month from Arcodesia, an absolute stormer that we can confirm sounds even better at ear piercingly loud volume as we hoped *.* post-rock is one of those genres that's just easy mode for getting high points from us and it's our first medal position to this nation, beating their previous best of 12 achieved in BJSC 110 (also with a post-rock entry naturally). No stranger to our medal positions though due to the old bloc voting algorithm which malfunctioned last month but is now fixed, it's 15 points to our wonderful and lovely host nation Jadakissnia with an equally wonderful and lovely James Blake esque entry rumour has it this Active Child song actually first made its rounds in the nation of the Bellsprout via some imported 7"s coming out of Persephonia which were in turn smuggled in from Skall so no surprise that it's near the top of our votes, the second 15 we've given to Jadakissnia this year and the 15th time in all they've ranked in our top 3. Completing our top 3 is a nation on fine form of late, it's 13 points to Espen with a spooktacular Russian witch house cut which has stood out more and more as time has gone by, second time they've been in our medal positions this year following the 18 to Sho Madjozi and their 10th medal position from us in total to date.
The biggest grower of the month, hopping up from just 4 points to 12 on our final national listenthrough, it's the first points we've given in a final to Wholune with an addictive and catchy pop rock tune. 11 points go to the iconic viral Mongolian throat singing metal track (need we say any more why we voted for it xx) from Beaverdonia and 10 points to the best retro dance entry from Bøtanikkä in quite a while (their first points from us since BJSC 107). Making a reappearance after an even longer wait is Ultraviolenceland who pick up 9 points with their lovely Lana Del Rey/Chris Isaak hybrid soundalike, their first points since we gave 8 to Liv Dawson in BJSC 88 which was also the previous highest points we'd ever given to them. Another nation making a comeback to our votes, 8 points go to Summericia with a Kraftwerk sampling retro electronic bop, miles better than their last couple of entries and our first points to them since BJSC 102. And then yet another comeback, as well as Jadakissnia the other auto-qualifier also gets points from us, it's 7 points to The Actual Republic of Bellamia with a semi-spoopy Troye Sivan-alike which is their first points from us since BJSC 92 and the first time they've ranked in our top 10 of a final since our 10 points (2nd place) to tyDi way back in BJSC 57! This is the second highest we've ever ranked one of their entries, oh my. Completing the top 10, 6 points go to a catchy but srs toe-tapper from Trifoski who have had a bit of a shorter wait since last getting points from us.
Filling out the mealworms: 5 points to another spoopy delight from Aeroche, 4 points to the returning Terra Avium with a typically unique ethnobop, 3 points to a grower from Cowtermont which we like a lot more than the last time someone recycled Feed Me (aka Spor) from us, 2 points to a beautiful track from Oslol, one of their best entries to date which we hope won't end their success streak, and 1 point goes to Skall with a lovely Friendly Fires esque bop which we should probably like more but it grew enough on the final listenthrough to just sneak in.

Commiserations: 16th Séyetana // PinocchioP - I'm Glad You're Evil Too 17th Rolloland // UNKLE - Lonely Soul (feat. Richard Ashcroft) 18th Vülkyria // Antony & Cleopatra - Why Don't You Just Call Me 19th Hendinia // I Am Boleyn - Too Much (F9 Club Edit) 20th Danæviia // Croatia Squad - Ven Pa Ca 21st Fljótavík // Jenny Hval - Ashes To Ashes
Many apologies to Séyetana as they squeezed into our 1 point on our relisten for the semi-final but do the opposite for the final (still a qt song we're very glad qualified though), Rolloland, Vülkyria and Danæviia were all growers but just not quite enough, and Fljótavík are punished for sending the wrong Jenny Hval song (this one is good and all but 'High Alice' was sitting right there!!)
Thanks for the hospitality and remember to vote for Kælan Mikla, we all know Persephonia winning in Jadakissnia just has to happen xxxxx

- Skall and Persephonia cast their votes now! Firstly… do our eyes deceive us? Are those… points for BEAVERDONIA? Hooray! Persephonia kindly lift them off 0 in style as they shoot up to double-figure points. They’re only joint last now too rather than hogging the floppy spot for themselves!! Meekul’s chart rivals in Séyetana are merely one point ahead, can Mongolian throat singing triumph over Iz’s Japanese representatives? Elsewhere, Jadakissnia become the first nation to receive three 18s tonight and the first to pass triple-figures! Woah. These two posters were very kind to us, with Harve awarding us top marks and Bré ranking us 2nd. We’ve got a bit of a lead going on now but it’s still way too early to tell anything. That Persephonia win in Jadakissnia could still happen (opposed to a Jadakissnia win in Jadakissnia *_*) - I mean look, have you noticed that a certain nation have turned things around in just a few sets of votes? This was Summericia who were floundering for a while with a major points drought… but now they’re up in joint 5th after some generous scores, hooray! Espen and Trifoski have also snuck into the top 10. Persephonia’s 18 for Arcodesia’s prog-rock experience has vaulted them up to 18th, funnily enough just one spot ahead of Persephonia themselves!

Will be interesting to see if Jade is setting herself up for defeat? Maybe she's being that altruistic that she'll let someone else grab that last minute win? I would enjoy an Active Child win though...
bit disappointed in how KSHMR is doing, hopefully it's fans are coming up in a bit but a few who I thought I could get points off have not delivered this time around

- Well I was all ready to comment on the fact that Skall had tied me for most 18s so far, following one from Trifoski… but then I only went and got a fourth from Jupiterdonia! So they’ll have to settle for second most now. Still very impressive nonetheless. The most 18s I’ve ever had in one night was 5 for ‘Arcade Summer’ by FM-84 in BJSC 87, can I beat that tonight? Elsewhere, look at Beaverdonia and Hushkanukia go with their 15s! Two-thirds of the latter song’s points are made up of silver medals. It is now solely Tartford in last place following Beaver’s gain. Then, up at the top, it’s Summericia who now solely own 5th place but the rest remains unchanged in that top 5. Trifoski do a slight foot-shoot and knock themselves out of the top 10. It’s now Skall, Wholune and Lotunia back in there.
