Oh Letland :( Missing out by ONE POINT, they would have easily qualified had they voted. There were a higher than average number of non-voters this heat, which leads to a closer-looking table than it really is...

(As a personal note, I am GUTTED about #7 and #8 there, but hey ho).

Ah, not all that bad then, I'll take 15th!

Palmyra and Persephonia making it through is great! Gutted when they didn't make it originally!

Actual dafuq! I bet Wild Belle and Angel Haze will both miss out now :lol:

 

Youth and Myth :wub:

& Jester just discovered pluto 7 thtough this and thought it was great!

A fan! Yay! The live version I entered is superb and much better than the studio version (though the album is great as well).

Woooo, Advice and Running through and both I Don't Like You and even better Stand Behind The Music for me :wub:

Methinks a certain Mr Thomas Dandy-Highwayman has his head in his hands right now! LOADS of five point reductions again, maybe even some in the top 5 so everyone needs to make sure they vote in the semis!

ELLIPHANT :(

Oh for f*** sake, had New Caprica voted, B.A.P would've been so close to qualifying! :drama:

Parachute Youth + Airsoul yay! Danaelanda slaying this :o

Oh and YAY for Ailee + BEG, thanks to those for voting for it! ^_^

Ooh ok, not missing anything so far. Hoping for both of mine but I think at least 3 fans of Saint Saviour didn't vote and Porcupine was always going to be dodgy. :(

 

Excellent to see Zola, Breaking My Fall and You And I through. :D Sea Of Stars though 3 What are you people listening to?
