oh my opening the semis and WHAT a contest to do it with - kind of especially good considering the first lyrics of my song :o

 

hope you enjoy my masterpiece, I am in such love with it

 

me or Pavel to win, that's also a very good song x

I know (and love) some of the songs in my semi - will be difficult to choose my 12 pointer!!

CHESTORIA BETTER BE QUALIFYING

 

I haven't heard this particular song by No Mana but they were an artist I had considered for next month! Also interested to hear Terra Avium's self-recycle - baby girl's getting a second chance! *.*

quite a few songs i've heard but to have TWO songs in my semi that i was so close to sending - Namasenda (which i would NEVER have had fljo down for) and Anabel Englund (Lookylion on a REALLY good streak...). intrigued to see how they do! i'm quite surprised to see GusGus make it thru but it might not be that cheap tbh - that might be a good horse to bet on atm!

 

absolutely LOVE FARC and Klum's entries this month - I know the bloc is strong with them but jesus :wub:

ooh an aq? :wub:

exciting! cant wait to hear all the entries.

Interested to see how Ojnoj do, I was going to switch to that entry on the last day but decided to stick and then saw Ojnoj re-confirm. So I'll get to see what the better option for me would've been! :lol:

Me spying Rob recycle flynnonda :wub:

I toyed with Sending Gracey this month, a different song, but I thought it would be a veto which lead me to send Caroline Polachek which actually turned out to be the veto :lol: I don't know any of the other songs but I am excited for Thelonia sending Churches :wub:

ooh an aq? :wub:

exciting! cant wait to hear all the entries.

 

As I'm a sucker for behind the scenes info, here's one bit for You Lovelies:

 

I did the random.org-ing yesterday in the morning, still including Cadelicia and Scherzland (if Oliver reconfirmed, then there would've been 32 songs in both semis with only one AQ, Land of DW).

Scherzland was originally in Semi 1 (25) while Cadelicia was in Semi 2 (14) (Yes, random.org was nice to me, no cheating!).

It will be interesting to see how Scherzland's votes in Semi 2 will change the results + who will be the lucky 20th in Semi 1 to take Scherzland's place (assuming that they would've Qd... something that we won't know for sure now :o )

 

 

edit: Thanks a lot for the Spotify duties Dan! :cheer:

Probably me :lol:

 

Don’t know much of this apart from Chestoria, I have been this close to sending COOL for the last couple of months, I think I actually confirmed it in 128, but changed obviously:nocheer:

Edited January 9, 20214 yr by Thom NY Kay

Only know one, the brilliant Lola Lennox track. Getting plays on Radio 2, Annie Lennox' daughter and Annie produced it. 2 or 3 plays and it hooks into your brain, hype!

Absolutely here for Greenfroze and FARC already :wub:

 

Hope you enjoy my anniversary entry too! The track was released as part of the Recover EP in 2013

Ooh that Aeroche entry was a huge hit in my personal chart last year, great choice :heart:

Just realised this is actually my first Australian entry *FSR Rontvia alert*

Edited January 9, 20214 yr by Thom NY Kay

Lotunia and Chestoria :wub:

Just realised this is actually my first Australian entry *FSR Romtvia alert*

 

Rebrand alert!

 

My choices were German, Swiss and Swedish this month. I’ve gone with the former, but the others are still high on the potentials list so may show up yet!

My goodness me I didn't expect luz to be in this edition! Almost sent her 'we'll be fine' to one of the editions and she is a really great artist!
