July 16, 20222 yr Eyy, closing the semi. Quite a good entry to do that with actually. Hope you all enjoy a sound that I don't send often enough. I don't think I've heard anything else here but some of the artist names promise good things.
July 16, 20222 yr Immediately I could recognise Thelonia and St. Burbia as both of their entries were on my top 50 a few weeks ago. St. Burbia in particular sounds like a winner to me and I'd be happy for it to be the case! I could also recognise Hendinia, FSR Rontvia, Scherzland and FARC, all of which are decent.
July 16, 20222 yr Wow, I strongly considered quite a few of these - Crumble, Panic and Isabelle - hope they all do well, I’m sure they will! Leww and Kath’s entries are both huge sounding too and it’s interesting to see Pixie Paris again!
July 16, 20222 yr I've made it my mission to send as many Benelux artists as I can this year. Let's see if that brings me somewhere 🥲
July 16, 20222 yr Opening the semi *.* I think N DNTN's is the only one I immediately recognise (tune) but I'm intrigued by a lot of artist names here, Terra Avium's for example I saw mentioned just yesterday in a thread about the new Working Men's Club album on Reddit, so that definitely excites me.
July 16, 20222 yr Oh what happened to Mulgracia’s return? I was looking forward to seeing them again. :(
July 16, 20222 yr Good to see Lookylion have entered xPropaganda. This is only the second time a Rolloland act have later been recycled by another country, the first time being Terra Avium sending Steven Wilson. Technically, it's not quite the same group as Propaganda but with Claudia, Susanne and Stephen Lipson all present, it's near enough. I'm not in their semi, I hope they do well.

Well, I DO consider Propaganda and xPropaganda the same group - The Heart Is Strange is the TRUE follow-up to A Secret Wish to my ears :dance:
July 16, 20222 yr Jade :wub: The battle of summer Italian smash hit is on :kink: Vamos A Bailar V Mezzanotte :wub: EDIT: Nevermind...I see you went with Spanish version only instead of Italian/Spanish one :( Edited July 16, 20222 yr by Addy!
July 16, 20222 yr Not too sure about my chances of qualifying (that's a rather long string of countries right before my song that are almost certainly not going anywhere near my song!) but after securing a new record qualification streak last time I'm quite overdue a DNQ anyway ~ This entry is fairly similar to my Molchat Doma entry that I think probably would have DNQed if not for being a lucky auto-qualifier, no such safety net this time! I think there are only 2 songs that I've already heard from my semi but definitely a few more that I'm looking forward to from the artists, Bowie being a big one of course as this isn't a song I know from him. A few more that I know from the other semi, sending some hype to KUČKA (easily my fave song I've heard from her), I also remember enjoying that bdrmm song, I know them mainly from Daniel Avery's remix of their other song 'Port' although that of course isn't really representative of their usual sound :lol: but yeah 'Three' is good too and hoping it'll grow on me further when revisiting it for the contest. Aeroche's entry was also a PopJustice Song Contest winner surprisingly enough, dance/electronic stuff doesn't normally do too well there but this one was a rare exception, I expect it should do well here too! (It's an Aeroche entry of course it will etc. xx) Jade :wub: The battle of summer Italian smash hit is on :kink: Vamos A Bailar V Mezzanotte :wub: EDIT: Nevermind...I see you went with Spanish version only instead of Italian/Spanish one :( Kind of iconic though that you sent a Spanish artist singing in Italian and Jade sent an Italian artist singing in Spanish.
July 16, 20222 yr I wasn’t sure which version to send so just went with the best quality upload I could find :lol: there was an English version too!
July 16, 20222 yr Also :cheeseblock: at us getting another entry named 'Ghosts', it's been too long x (the last 'Ghost(s)' was a full 2 years ago, we're now up to 14x 'Ghost' and 7x 'Ghosts' x)
