August 22, 20213 yr Whew that felt v tense for a minute but thanks for the votes! Also Semi 1 was already a bit thin on the good stuff so if you're telling me we've lost Aesthetica, Ashton (yes I will die on the hill of deadnaming Phil's country) and potentially Caerfyrddia then we need to talk sis!
August 22, 20213 yr Author Here is the final Q from Semi 1, and it's congrats to Caerfyrddia! 4YFhIfvqBgQ 31: Caerfyrddia ~ Casi & The Blind Harpist “Rooted” Current Q Streak: 1 RHKZ19wy2SU DNQ: Altyr Muunilinst ~ Julie Bergan “We're Coming Up” SEMI 1: 18 ?

August 22, 20213 yr Not a shock at all, I just KNEW when the tie was in Semi 1 it would be me (most of my recent DNQ's have been missing out by a point or so)
August 22, 20213 yr Sad to see those two out but happy with the rest of results!!! 12: Q 10: Q 08: Q 07: Q 06: Q 05: Mosquetania ~ Klangkarussell “Shipwreck” 04: Q 03: East Rukahavian ~ Husman “Who You Are” 02: Q 01: Q
August 22, 20213 yr Oh wow Caerfyrddia did manage to qualify in the end! YES!! I would riot if it didn't because I had it down as a favourite to win this edition but Altyr Muunilinst not qualifying? Is this going to be the start of pop entries becoming less favourable in BJSC or is my pop taste just horrible? 🤔
August 22, 20213 yr Lost a few, 2nd-4th were pretty tight so annoying Finnegan was so close, assume it would have gone through with 2 12s had I ranked 2nd over 3rd 8 Jadakissnia 7 Danaeviia 5 Mosquetania 1 Suedonia
August 22, 20213 yr Author Thanks for bearing with me, I'll try and bang out a final thread later this evening.
August 22, 20213 yr Whew that felt v tense for a minute but thanks for the votes! Also Semi 1 was already a bit thin on the good stuff so if you're telling me we've lost Aesthetica, Ashton (yes I will die on the hill of deadnaming Phil's country) and potentially Caerfyrddia then we need to talk sis! Aesthetica did get through! ~ Ok, Caerfyrddia making it in is a pretty good note to end on at least <3 oooops at Altyr now having 2 DNQs in a row following their mammoth Q streak before that though...! (although naturally I can't say I was rooting for this particular song shockingly enough) From my ranking: 12 JADAKISSNIA 10 QUALIFIED 8 QUALIFIED 7 QUALIFIED 6 QUALIFIED 5 QUALIFIED 4 QUALIFIED 3 DANÆVIIA 2 QUALIFIED 1 QUALIFIED 11th Mosquetania 12th East Rukahavian 13th Suedeonia 19th République d'Áskorza 24th Wholune 25th Harmonica 26th The Actual Republic of Bellamia 27th Lotunia 28th Altyr Muunilinst Well I am pretty massively bummed at Jadakissnia being so close but aside from that these results did go well (it was really only the top 10 that felt worthy of points to me as much as I'd have liked to see the 11th-13th lot get through too, so 8/10 plus myself isn't bad). Thanks for hosting Doctor B, has been fun to follow apart from the parts where my faves narrowly missed out. x
August 22, 20213 yr So Jade and I both miss out on a 9th consecutive qualifier. We both scored 51 pts and we entered the two slowest songs according to Dr Blind's BPM counter.
August 22, 20213 yr Yeah imma need a recount coz Tóxica was the best track in this semi by a literal landslide
August 22, 20213 yr Thanks Doctor Blind for hosting! Really like the concept and graphics! The results tonight pretty much ruled out two of my other potentials and I am ready to send this to the next edition to get my Q streak back! Edited August 22, 20213 yr by uhsting
August 22, 20213 yr Semi 1 Projected: 12 POINTS | Lotunia ~ Girls' Generation “All Night” 10 POINTS | Q 08 POINTS | République d'Áskorza ~ Sofía Martín & le Shuuk “Tóxica” 07 POINTS | Q 06 POINTS | Q 05 POINTS | Danæviia ~ EMBRZ ft. Lizzy Land “Where You Are” 04 POINTS | Q 03 POINTS | Q 02 POINTS | Altyr Muunilinst ~ Julie Bergan “We're Coming Up” 01 POINTS | Q East Rukh and another qualifier would have been commiserations Moral of the story is Bray isn’t the only person who lost both of their semi faves and Buzzjack hates Asians
August 22, 20213 yr Everything qualified for us except for Danaeviia which we gave 8 points to :( Edit : Doctor you put me down for giving Dan 7 points when I gave 8. Just thought I'd mention that. Edited August 22, 20213 yr by Roba~
August 22, 20213 yr That does suck for Altyr, especially to have two in a row. I gave it a few points - it’s solid although Julie Bergan has quite a few songs I love more than that one. Seems like many of the dance entries did get through. Will be interesting to see how they all end up doing in the final. I still think a dance song will win it as there are so many high quality dance entries this month. Possibly not pop’s month.
August 22, 20213 yr I did place it safe this month (as I have for a long time, primarily to protect by streak!), but I honestly didn't have anything else I wanted to send more. I need to get better at finding new music methinks.
August 22, 20213 yr [ my sf1 votes ] 12: QUALIFIED 10: QUALIFIED 08: QUALIFIED 07: QUALIFIED 06: Altyr Muunilinst ~ Julie Bergan “We're Coming Up” 05: République d'Áskorza ~ Sofía Martín & le Shuuk “Tóxica” 04: QUALIFIED 03: QUALIFIED 02: The Actual Republic of Bellamia ~ Claire Rosinkranz “Frankenstein” 01: QUALIFIED I think I voted too early and actually wish I had voted later in the week because by now RDÁ has become my third fave of the bunch. Although 8 pts instead of 5 seemingly wouldn't have changed the results it still deserved my bronze :( Sad to see that I didn't qualify but I was somewhat expecting it. Whenever I go dance I seem to fail to impress my trusty pophoe voting block :lol: [ my would-be sf2 votes ] 12: Sovarasma ~ BATHSHEBA “Fighting For Your Love” 10: QUALIFIED 08: Hushkanukia ~ Rebecca Ferguson ft. Nile Rodgers “No Words Needed” 07: QUALIFIED 06: QUALIFIED 05: QUALIFIED 04: Greenfroze ~ Brynn Elliott “Tell Me I'm Pretty” 03: QUALIFIED 02: QUALIFIED 01: QUALIFIED
August 22, 20213 yr I lost just two from my vote: 12 Q 10 Q 8 Q 7 Q 6 Q 5 D'yermak'er 4 Q 3 Q 2 Skall 1 Q Thanks Dr Blind for the excellent presentation.
August 22, 20213 yr 06 Sovarasma 03 POPhub Most mine through, just lost both of mine in one fell sweep! My next four 11-14th also didn't qualify though :(
