April 13, 201114 yr i think i was one of the only ones who wanted semis back!!! :D WOOOOO @ QUALIFYING.
April 13, 201114 yr Thank god for those two qualifiers! Both amazing songs. :o I thought you didn't like Natteravn anymore!
April 13, 201114 yr Author Time to get tough. For the 12th and 13th qualifier, I can announce that four of the following are OUT, and two are THROUGH from each semi. Any ideas? > semi·final_one ^ N-Lazone ^ Lotopialand ^ Unovia ^ Bignia-Zaragovina ^ Tinnmark ^ Aquafina > semi·final_two ^ Palmyra ^ Quintessa ^ Letland ^ Frahliso ^ Kathaldazia ^ Kluminican Republic 01.

April 13, 201114 yr Having done this semi final, I also think it's proved to be a good idea. I was expecting the whole thing to be long winded. :o Out of interest, in previous finals have posters tended to favour songs from their own semi final over the other set of qualifiers simply because they're more familiar with those tracks?
April 13, 201114 yr :o I thought you didn't like Natteravn anymore! I never said that. I said that I got bored of it quickly, but when I revisited it in the semi it sounded fresher than ever! Sometimes it's good to give songs a rest and go back to them with a fresh outlook.

Sometimes it's good to give songs a rest and go back to them with a fresh outlook. Ooh, that's definitely positive - everyone likes to have the Rich seal of approval! I completely agree with the last comment, some songs just do sound better after a break (as I'm sure songs like Price Tag will be in about a year, after everyone has stopped whoring it out).
April 13, 201114 yr Kathaldazia and Kluminican Republic to get through! :cheer: :o I think it will be! I'd be surprised if Kathaldazia didn't - as for you, I think you might... but IT'S A DIFFICULT ONE.
April 13, 201114 yr Author From semi one... > semi·final_one ^ N-Lazone ^ Lotopialand ^ Unovia ^ Bignia-Zaragovina ^ Tinnmark ^ Aquafina Jolin Tsai and Anna Abreu make it through!

I was expecting the whole thing to be long winded. :o Out of interest, in previous finals have posters tended to favour songs from their own semi final over the other set of qualifiers simply because they're more familiar with those tracks? See, it's not as long winded as outsiders think it all is! Glad you took the plunge and joined up :D That does tend to happen slightly, auto qualifiers were most notoriously lost in the mix in the final previously as they'd not established a fanbase from either fanbase which all of the other tracks had as an instant advantage. I can see myself voting for mainly the Semi 1 qualifiers though as I just think it was 10 times stronger personally, a handful of tracks aside - and I'm in no way biased by familiarity as I listened to and voted for both semis together!

Ahhhh. Not usually. There seems to be a reasonably even split. Except where the semi's aren't evenly distributed and you see one semi generally getting favoured over the other.
April 13, 201114 yr Author So, going into the announcement for the final qualifier, here's how things are looking...only one can qualify out of Espen, Eledan, New Caprica and Isconia in SF1, and only one can qualify out of BaNG, Quotosibb, UnoShake and Zechonia in SF2! We have two countries from each semi being eliminated in the next post - any guesses which unlucky four are out and which four are going into the final duel for the final slot? > semi·final_one ^ Dalisska ^ Lievant ^ Espen ^ Farahtyn ^ Batidas ^ N-Lazone ^ Lotopialand ^ Ojnoj ^ Ashton ^ FSR Rontvia ^ Xanaga ^ Caerfyrddia ^ Eledan ^ Unovia ^ Yuxhaaq ^ New Caprica ^ Bignia-Zaragovina ^ Isconia ^ People's Republic of Jester ^ Tinnmark ^ Aquafina > semi·final_two ^ Bare and Naked Gardens ^ Palmyra ^ Hendinia ^ Persephonia ^ Greenfroze ^ Lorikeet ^ Kylienips ^ Quintessa ^ Quotosibb ^ Letland ^ Kopečka ^ Frahliso ^ Numayania ^ UnoShake ^ FYR Vojvodina-on-the-Wold ^ Zechonia ^ Botanikka ^ Torchwood ^ Herzebania ^ Kathaldazia ^ Kluminican Republic 01.

I completely agree with the last comment, some songs just do sound better after a break (as I'm sure songs like Price Tag will be in about a year, after everyone has stopped whoring it out). My opinion's worth just as much or little as anybody elses! Indeed, ironically I first heard Price Tag at some point last year - loved it and got bored of it, and then grew to love it again when it started to get a push here, it happens with tons of songs with me, hence my personal chart always having a handful of re-entries every single week :lol: Disappointed to see Frahliso not through, I found it really anthemic! :(
