🔘 BJSC XCI 🔴 SEMI-FINAL KNOCKOUT 🔘

January 22, 20178 yr

Yay, thanks all for getting 'Radio' through! <3

This was the most confident I've been of a qualifier on submission since Eves The Behavior ('TV' and 'Radio' hmm :thinking:), but that was definitely dampened by the DNQ predictions and I'm ultimately a bit surprised that Desbuanda's starting the year with some success~

Especially nice to have a presence in this final given '91 is my birth year, and to top it off I didn't lose any of my semi votes in the process! First time that's happened *.*

Many thanks to Leww for all the behind-the-scenes work/entertaining reveals despite being under the weather. ^_^

(I should add that it's still sad to see Flynnonda, Hushkanukia, Skall, and Deandria fall here. All were in contention for points from me and would likely have got them in other contests)

So the victims of the ban hammer are Ultraviolenceland, Medhelania and Beaverdonia :magic:

And obv Buzzjack Mountain

Monopoly is a tune, not as much as easyFun's Laplander admittedly though.

Pfft, finishing below Buzzjack Mountain is offensive but at least they aren't through. Pleased that Bellamia proved the predictors wrong. Ojnoj so close though, that song was SO joyful :cry:

January 22, 20178 yr

Awww... I had my doubts about Rontvia at first but I thought they'd scrape through. At least you can't say I don't point you, Rich! Also I thought Flynnonda & Dobago would sail through this :( what is with this racism :angry:

Palmyra qualified y'know :P

January 22, 20178 yr

Fantastic to see Sirusho through thank you! I know it was much loved by Eurofans back in the day but I wondered if its time had passed in terms of able to be a success in this contest five years after its release, I just wanted to enter a good old Eurovision-esque pop tune. Glad it has paid off with a return to the final! :D

Shocked at Syndare coming nowhere near qualifying, first time in a while my 12 hasn't made the final I think :(

but there was only 1 J-pop song and it qualified? LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KOREA AND JAPAN I WILL KEEP ON AT THIS.

(actually to be fair mine was just a girlband song with a lot of heavy guitars but still, not really pop)

lmao yeah I was referring to the K-pop songs. I was pretty confident in Kyary anyway.

I checked and did not see Ultraviolenceland. My mistake.

The alternative fact is we didn't vote for the Buzzjack Mountain and that is a lie of the liberal media!! The alternative fact is our points could have been some other thing or something else. Anyway ...#fakenews

Wonderful to see Aelandor qualifying again! One of their best entries to date, but I wasn't sure it'd be able to get through even with the rockbloc semi, glad to have been wrong there though. I really liked Séyetana's entry too but they are losing the 2017 nepotism battle for me so far.

From my votes/rankings:

12 QUALIFIED

10 QUALIFIED

8 QUALIFIED

7 QUALIFIED

6 DOBAGO

5 QUALIFIED

4 SINGERPUREAR

3 QUALIFIED

2 QUALIFIED

1 QUALIFIED

12th Terra Avium

16th Deandria

17th Tartford

20th Hushkanukia

22nd Skall

23rd Flynnonda

24th Quintessa

25th Greenfroze

27th Florina

And from my semi 1 rankings:

2nd FSR Rontvia

4th Kylienips

10th Séyetana

13th Bhangra

14th Ojnoj

20th Frandoot

22nd Bignia-Zaragovina

26th Syndare

29th Daehun

30th Ajanaeda

31st Buzzjack Mountain

FSR Rontvia, Kylienips and Dobago are all pretty gutting DNQs as I was pretty sure they'd all be through comfortably, this really didn't deserve to be the song to end FSR's qualification streak as it was due to be the annual FSR entry that gets high points from me in the final! They did have 2 of those in 2016 though so fingers crossed they'll get another chance some time this year :lol: Singerpurear and Séyetana going out is a shame too but those were a little less surprising. 15/20 of my semi-final top 10s qualifying as well as my own entry isn't too bad on the whole though.

Qualification streak update coming up in a min ;o x
