February 15, 20232 yr Gosh I didn't realise more were still entering but then again no vetoes have been mentioned so why not! I think I know a pretty glaring one looking at the sheet tbh. Welcome to extended new nations that have submitted.
February 15, 20232 yr Thank you for the invite. I haven’t had chance to get a song sorted (lots of personal stuff going on and not really in a good headspace) but will potentially return in a couple of months time! <3
February 15, 20232 yr aw this feels like BJSC 100 again! I think I’ve sent a good choice but we will see!
February 15, 20232 yr guys cool it I work nights and don't know when to pencil in my listenthroughs without sacrificing sleep (jk of course the more the merrier, I'll just have to do only one listenthrough if anything and/or go back to my voting last minute ways x)
February 15, 20232 yr Author Imma stop the confirmations here now so the mods won't be burdened by more entries xx Here is the draw for those concerned: I'm planning semi listenthroughs on Saturday and Sunday at 20:00 GMT. They will last for 2-3 hours but with special videos and intervals xx More on that soon x
February 15, 20232 yr I don't think you're supposed to announce the draws yet are you? I don't know how things work in that regard as the songs aren't given away.
February 15, 20232 yr It's not going to be the end of the world if they've been announced now is it? I guess someone reconfirming could be influenced by knowing who they need to appeal to but that's probably quite unlikely. Really intrigued to see what the new and returning countries bring to the contest - good luck to those in particular!
February 15, 20232 yr I would probably wait until we know if the vetoed countries are reconfirming at least before announcing that but aside from that I suppose it's harmless if unusual x
February 15, 20232 yr Ngl the list of names in the other semi looks better for me on paper but I think my entry has more crossover appeal than usual this time so will just see how it goes. Excited to hear what the new nations will bring!

February 15, 20232 yr Pmed the three responsible for those now x 'Body Better and Contact were both great imo!
February 15, 20232 yr LOL Danity Kane! Have to agree with Kelela's veto definitely, and Maisie Peters too.
February 15, 20232 yr Ngl the list of names in the other semi looks better for me on paper but I think my entry has more crossover appeal than usual this time so will just see how it goes. Excited to hear what the new nations will bring! Same for mine, but I'm willing there to be a suitable amount of atmospheric slavic folk/pagan fans among the new/returning nations.
February 15, 20232 yr Maisie...that must have racked up the points from her recent No.2 album and multiple chart hits alone :o
February 15, 20232 yr So in the end then it seems only Bhangra and Oslol from the last contest didn't participate in this one. Very good turnout from all who have made the effort. Hope the vetoed nations will all reconfirm soon.
