Argh. LOL. The third qualifier hasn't been achieved still but I was kinda expecting it. Honestly I just couldn't find any more 'commercial', BJSC-friendly songs that I really wanted to send that would've maybe had a better chance of achieving that for me. :lol: Oh well.

Lowkey stanned daehun not gonna lie

 

that hurts so much to admit

And a second yesss as justice for 'GOLD' is achieved! Thank you all semi 2 voters xx

 

Throwing in a third yesss for Daehun also finally qualifying again with a non-English song, first one since SUNMI in BJSC 108 I think? One of their best entries for ages as well. <3

 

Sad for Flynnonda but not surprising, that was my 5 pointer, really unique song.

Nooooo Terra Avium! :( That's my +12 gone.

Well ooops at Terra Avium!

Not Cor Lupus missing out as well! That deserved to qualify at least.

And oooops at Cor Lupus! :kink:

In b4 a mental breakdown

Cqmerqn when River went to #1

 

You when a boy with hair below his ears comes on your new music Friday.

Terra Avium the third of my semi 1 top 10 to exit :'( though not a surprising loss especially against Aeroche (which has been a grower, now my favourite of this month's retro synthwavey entries which I think should all do pretty well).

 

Ooooops at Cor Lupus DNQing again. This is kind of like when FSR Rontvia followed their still-record streak of 54 qualifiers with three straight DNQs. Or indeed when Cor Lupus themselves had 3 DNQs in 5 contests immediately before their long streak. The DNQs seem to clump together around these long streaks x

thanks for doing this kye! <3

Yeah, when I realised Aeroche were the only one left not announced from my semi, I'd made my peace :heehee:

 

You can all go and stand under a falling chandelier frankly -_- although I did see it coming as I figured this was perhaps a bit too divisive, and I've had a rather good run (first time in a year I've DNQ'd!) so I'm content with watching from the sidelines this time.

 

Good stuff otherwise, only lost two of my votes I think (Jupiterdonia and Adonia, not unexpected for either alas), particularly thrilled for Utopia <3

E^ST is super slept on here, she's great, and this song is pretty good. I still adore and regularly play Life Goes On and everything else I've heard from her has been at least decent. I wonder what it is about her that doesn't quite connect.

 

Happy to Q with Run It! And pretty much all of my big favourites are through too so far. Sad to lose Jupiterdonia and Cor Lupus though.

I literally couldn't have given it any more points! :lol:

 

that concludes tonight's proceedings - congratulations to those making it through to the final

 

commiserations to those sadly not joining us

 

thanks for joining nicole scherzinger in scherzland, who said absolutely nothing all evening, and we hope we didn't bore you to tears x

Skall's early DNQ wasn't quite the bad omen of really awful results that I feared it might be but that's still a bad loss.

 

From my ranking of the other semi:

 

6th Terra Avium

7th Deandria

10th Jupiterdonia

11th Republic of Adonia

12th Wholune

14th Aelandor

17th Greenfroze

24th Sandénia

 

Glad I got all of my top 5 through but as this was the weaker semi overall losing 6 of my top 15 isn't super great. x

 

Thanks for the slick and beautiful as ever hosting Kye <3 will do the Q streak update in a lil bit ~
