This was my favourite entry of yours in…quite some time!

 

If it DNQs now…

 

Happy for Greenfroze as wasn’t sure what would happen there!

 

Varake is really decent but the sample got me by surprise, I listened to these while food shopping and the Brother Louie sample caught me off guard in the freezers :lol:

Yay for Florina though! A lot of the returning nations this month weren't really doing it for me ngl but theirs delivered (took a few minutes to get going but when it did it was a banger)

Florina yas!

Hopefully Singer makes it. That was a tune.

 

Yass at 12 Q's.

I wanted Singerpurear and Yehesi to be announced as qualifiers together not as non-qualifiers :nocheer: :nocheer:

 

Yehesi party over :nocheer:

chile the way that most of the J-pop songs got through but none of the K-pop did...

Yessssss!

 

Great nostalgic 90s vibes from Persephonia, brilliant to see that through, and that’s a fantastic set of results!

 

Quintessa was my 3 pointer, deserved WAY higher than dead last.

 

Pretty surprised to see Yehesi and Utopia so low in the other semi, both were really good.

 

Thanks for a fun and suspenseful evening Cody!

Okay Persephonia and Séyetana are definitely a grand finish :wub: but a bittersweet post as two of my favourites were so close :cry:

Some big losses there but this did actually go better than I was expecting! Thanks for this, Cody. <3

Poor Singerpurear. I gathered it might be touchy though as wrong semi perhaps. Liked Thelonia's as well. Gave it a point I think.

Also sad to see both Skall and N DNTN out :( Both would have got plenty of points from me in the final but I feared for their slight inaccessibility. :(

 

Thanks Cody for a wonderful results presentation!
