Semi Final 2

 

Haven't listened to Semi 1 yet but for Semi 2 I think these songs should be guaranteed to qualify (doesn't necessarily mean I like them personally), especially since there's like 20 qualifiers:

 

Aesthetica :: MOMOLAND - BBoom BBoom

Bhangra :: Offer Nissim feat. Ania Bukstein - Rokedet

East Rukahavian :: Bishop Briggs - White Flag

Greenfroze :: Stenz - I Might

Lotunia :: FAUN - Federkleid

Tartford :: Vera Blue - Lady Powers

United States of Jack :: Liv Dawson - Talk

Unovia :: Robinson - Nothing To Regret

 

But then again I don't really know BJSC's collective taste that well so I might be way off but these all feel like qualifiers to me and they're the songs that stand out the most to me and are the songs I remember best one day after listening. Regarding my own entry I have absolutely no idea how it'll fare. I would expect it to qualify since of course I personally think it's amazing but I could be in for a surprise based on the lack of interest it's garnered so far lol.

 

These songs also stand out to me but not quite as much as the above listed tracks. Again this isn't my personal preference just what I gather from the songs:

 

Aeroche :: Dave Silcox feat. Little Nikki - Tell Me

Altyr Muunilinst :: Dog Collective feat. MPH - Next To Me

Cowtermont :: REZZ - Relax

Flynnonda :: Cloud Control - Treetops

Quintessa :: Eric Whitacre - Fly to Paradise

Séyetana :: Annella - Perfume

Skall :: GoldLink feat. Jazmine Sullivan & KAYTRANADA - Meditation

St. Burbia :: Leikeli47 - Attitude

Well to be fair your entry has generated about as much discussion as any other song in the contest so far if not more, with Cody and Addy both hyping it in your thread! :kink: It's still pretty early in the voting period, the majority of people probably haven't started listening to the songs yet. (In any case there isn't usually ever that much discussion about individual songs in this forum, other than maybe the couple of songs right at the top of the odds).

Ohh okay thanks for clarifying that. Well, this is really only my debut contest so I’m excited to see what happens. It’s easy to be biased towards your own entry tho so I’ll refrain from making any OTT predictions despite how much I adore it 😂

Let me have a quick go:

 

Lotunia :: FAUN - Federkleid

Bøtanikka :: Tokyo Ghetto Pussy - Everybody On The Floor (Pump It)

Dobago :: Mark Eliyahu - Journey

Quintessa :: Eric Whitacre - Fly to Paradise

Mosquetania :: Kilian & Jo feat. Erik Rapp - Suburbia

Flynnonda :: Cloud Control - Treetops

Cowtermont :: REZZ - Relax

Greenfroze :: Stenz - I Might

St. Burbia :: Leikeli47 - Attitude

Cumulonimbia :: Ravyn Lenae - Sticky

Bhangra :: Offer Nissim feat. Ania Bukstein - Rokedet

Trifoski :: Algiers - The Underside of Power

Unovia :: Robinson - Nothing To Regret

Avalonia :: Umaro XP - Liberi Fatali

Aeroche :: Dave Silcox feat. Little Nikki - Tell Me

Aelandor :: Moriaty - Esperanza

Terra Avium :: Strawhatz - Koto

Fljótavík :: Rex the Dog - Maximize

Skall :: GoldLink feat. Jazmine Sullivan & KAYTRANADA - Meditation

Altyr Muunilinst :: Dog Collective feat. MPH - Next To Me

Tartford :: Vera Blue - Lady Powers

Séyetana :: Annella - Perfume

Desbuanda :: Blaue Bloom - Ebony

Rolloland :: Ninet Tayeb - Superstar

FARC :: Miriam Bryant - Black Car

East Rukahavian :: Bishop Briggs - White Flag

Deandria :: Linea Aspera - Malarone

United States of Jack :: Liv Dawson - Talk

 

Potentially Mosquetania, Botanikka, Cumulonimbia, Avalonia and a galvanised indie-bloced Alteria coming in to replace perhaps Aeroche/Trifoski/Terra Avium/USoJ in that list. This is a hard semi to call as its so light on pop nations that my normal metrics of what does well feel a bit skewed here.

 

That aside Quintessa, FARC, Rolloland, Fljótavík, East Rukahavian, Unovia and tentatively myself (tentatively just because I think I'd be nailed on in any other semi, and one's own entry view is always a bit distorted) seem... I'd be very surprised if any of them were out. Which is a bit different to your list, Jafet but predicting BJSC is never an exact science and we're all wrong on occasion.

with no plug session to base this on I could be well wrong but this is my gut feeling after one listen. borderlines are Land of DW and Eledan.

I hadn't had anyone hype my song and Leww gave me shit odds so that's all I have to base it on! Didn't send it expecting a hit anyway I'm just having a 'f*ck it I'll send what I like' year.

I think this semi is much stronger than semi 2 honestly. Way more instant songs for me and I'm honestly putting songs in the likely column that would be in the very likely column in the other semi for me. I think Azure might get through on name alone even though I personally am not a fan of Kate Nash. FSR Rontvia, New Lexico and Singerpurear are very much my winner bets so far but there are strong contenders as well here such as Jadakissnia and Kluminican Republic. Republique d'Ashton has got some hype in the forum it seems so I'm putting that here even though I personally wasn't a fan. Ramrynia has begrudged the Armenian NF hype so it should be safe.

 

In the likely column I have some songs that I very much hope do better than I'm predicting such as #00274E and Daehun which both are delivering solid bops but could fail to impress BJSC because I'm not entirely sure what the collective will think of songs like these.

Mai Lan came 2nd in a previous edition, this entry probably won't do as well but I'd say it's a very likely qualifier. Riton's 'Rinse & Repeat' got a fair bit of love too (was too cheap to get entered though) so 'Fake ID' is similarly safe.

Not looking great for me again, but not surprised! My song is still amazing!
