Yay for FLJ! TARO Bellamia's entry was much much better than I expected too, happy to see that through.

 

That's it for semi 2 now then, lost these from my ranking:

 

4th Dobago

7th Harmonica

9th Thelonia

11th Trifoski

12th Suedeonia

14th Buzzjack Mountain

16th Cadelicia

18th Land of DW

22nd Kylienips

25th Tartford

26th East Rukahavian

 

Dobago delivering another great entry, sad to see them out. Harmonica was an absolute bop as well, I think Liam would have stanned that. D:

Lost over half my votes then I think!

Eep! Thanks Leww for the smooth hosting <3

 

...?

That was as good a semi as any for my entry, it would have stood zero chance in Semi 2, so I’m not too upset. Not a great way to follow up a top three though, oops.

 

Sandenia, Niceland (thought that would have made it!) and Singerpurear missed out from my votes I think but overall it’s a very strong set of qualifiers. Very sad to lose East Ruk from the other semi though, I thought that was one of their best ever! Luckily most of my other favourites from that incredible semi went through.

Ah I was right about those last 2 semi 1 qualifiers then! Hooray for Terra Avium <3 would have felt v wrong for only one of the two piano instrumentals to qualify, I want a nice clean fight in the final xx

 

From my votes:

 

12 QUALIFIED

10 QUALIFIED

8 QUALIFIED

7 QUALIFIED

6 NICELAND

5 DEANDRIA

4 QUALIFIED

3 ROLLOLAND

2 BEAVERDONIA

1 FSR RONTVIA

14th Danæviia

15th Summericia

19th Singerpurear

20th Yehesi

21st Arcodesia

26th Sandénia

 

I guess most of those lost votes aren't big surprises but I would have predicted Niceland and FSR Rontvia to make it I think. D: Sucks to lose Danæviia and Summericia too as I thought this was a very strong semi and they could both have easily got points in some other recent semis I've been in. My top 4 + myself all making it is a decent enough showing at least.

 

Thanks for hosting Lewlew, very slick presentation as usual!

 

I realised earlier that I never actually posted the qualification streak update last month oops. I'll do a double update this time around, will try and do that tomorrow. x

* more consecutive entries (9 for Kluminican Republic, 7 for Hendinia and Ojnoj, 5 for Holland-Oats) have qualified but these streaks were broken by breaks from the contest

** runs extended by the grace of Leww in BJSC 122 (would otherwise be 0 for both)

 

Extending national records: Aeroche, FARC, Scherzland

Matching previous national records: Fljótavík (previously achieved in BJSCs 45-56), New Lexico (previously achieved in BJSCs 82-88)

 

Kluminican Republic's run of 9 qualifiers in non-consecutive contests beats their record of 8 consecutive qualifiers achieved twice in BJSCs 38-45 & 93-100, but is still beaten by a previous run of 10 qualifiers in non-consecutive contests (BJSCs 93-100 & 102-103).

 

Holland-Oats' run of 5 qualifiers in non-consecutive contests also matches their record of qualifying in consecutive contests, achieved in BJSCs 107-111.

I half expected Cadelicia to DNQ after Oliver failed to vote but I had a sliver of hope that it would scrape through :(

 

As for semi 1 I think all the songs I would have voted for got through so that’s great! I can finally enjoy a final *.*

So close, shame it wasn’t 20 qualifiers from each! I guess it would have tanked in the final though.

well it looks like 2020 is officially our flop year then, that was the most hit-sounding song I had in my potentials so it's all flops from here on.

Ouch semi 2 :(

OMG I hate random.org now, I was about to rage at me going out and Persephonia in! See you in the ring then Bre, thanks guys x

 

Although overall, this could've gone better

 

10; FSR Rontvia ∅ Tol & Tol 'Eleni'

08; Niceland ∅ Duo Teslar 'Basement Groove'

03; Rolloland ∅ Big Big Train 'East Coast Racer'

02; Summericia ∅ CΔT 'Moon Spells'

 

& Deandria and Arcodesia were just outside

 

I mean at least my 12 got through, but gutted for Rontvia and Niceland nonetheless, both were great changes of pace and I thought they stood a chance :/

Thanks to the few of you that did give some points to Band of Skulls anyway! Shocked and disappointed that neither of Niceland or Danæviia made it through.
