February 23, 20232 yr Rolloland and Skall being my only losses then, not too bad (as if the former was that low :'() Pleased to see some debut countries getting through as well. Thanks for the great effort with this!
February 23, 20232 yr All 10 of the songs I voted for qualified. It's not often that happens. Thanks uhsting for that slick results presentation.
February 23, 20232 yr :( at the deduction costing FLJ indeed, I unfortunately did feel like it might be the kind of song that would do this. Tbf probably should be a bit more careful to mandate having at least a week to vote, if only because it seems some people just assume that is the case! 8 songs in semi 2 being within 6 points of qualifying, that really was a bloodbath of a semi after all (and someone getting doubly lucky to qualify due to FLJ's deduction and the one-off extra qualification slot!) - gah at me not being able to give East Rukahavian the small push to get over the line, aw. A bit more clear cut in semi 1 but gahhh at Kyriatine being back to their ways of missing out by one position. Also really surprised at Abeltesfayeton coming last, I honestly thought if anything they were the most likely of the debuting nations to qualify :o although 19 points isn't too terrible for the lowest scorer of the month I suppose. Kyriatine's points being 3 12s and 4 3s though :cheeseblock:
February 23, 20232 yr Author Interesting facts:No nation apart from the non-voting ones in semi-final 2 have all their voted nations preserved in the contest.Only 1 nation in each semi got no medal positions.21 points is the highest tally for a last-ranked nation since BJSC 144. 19 points is the highest tally for the lowest pointed nation since *bear with me* BJSC 116.Both Yobnedorica and Neliönoir lost their top 4 in their votes.

February 23, 20232 yr Also really surprised at Abeltesfayeton coming last, I honestly thought if anything they were the most likely of the debuting nations to qualify :o although 19 points isn't too terrible for the lowest scorer of the month I suppose.so that's another nation to add to the group of countries that debuted at the lowest possible position? they have underdog nation written all over them, i hope they stick around
February 23, 20232 yr Well… Firstly, thanks to uhsting for delivering a very high quality semi results reveal. The standard this contest has been truly breathtaking! :heart: Secondly, sorry I couldn’t be here for the live event and suspense, I have now caught up by reading through all 13 pages to this point. Thirdly, thank you for the early reveal and thank you to everyone for surpassing mine (and many others) expectations to qualify in this hugh calibre edition of the BuzzJack Song Contest! That said, I have some bad news to those who voted, I have to revert to a previous promise made to a fellow contestant, and I’m a man of my word, so here it is again; I fully support East Rukahavian, I’ve just been swayed by the stronger in recent months, but I will make this offer to you… if Zanmatony qualifies and East Rukahavian don’t… you may take our place in the final. That’s our gift to you. Therefore, East Rukahavian will be granted my position in the final as a much deserved participant (even though they were a few places short of qualifying in their semi final). Here’s how Zanmatony voted (as seen in the above chart uhsting posted); +12 Qualified +10 Qualified +8 Qualified +7 Reality Club – Anything You Want [Eastovka] +6 Juke The Tiger – The Past Keeps Knockin' On My Door [East Rukahavian] +5 Qualified +4 Qualified +3 Qualified +2 Qualified +1 Qualified Justice to Eastovka who also really deserved a place in the final. :nocheer: Congratulations all the qualifiers, looking forward to the final.
February 23, 20232 yr Author Wait... I realised my prophecy can come true if Abeltesfayeton comes top 10 next edition :o

February 23, 20232 yr Appreciate the sentiment Wardy but it doesn't work like that :kink: (I assumed your earlier post was not meant to be serious x)
February 23, 20232 yr Argh at how close we were but no grumbles, glad to see a couple of new countries qualify from that final bunch. Apologies to the 13 of you that did vote for Hyd though for my tardiness. I shouldn’t have entered really, I just did it out of habit without thinking about the fact I was going to be away!
February 23, 20232 yr Author Once again, I am really grateful for all the great compliments I received during the hosting from the votes I received, the thread tonight, and elsewhere! :heart: :heart: Thank you to those who responded to our invites though they end up in a bit of a PR disaster. We really want to see all the returning nations and debuting nations back in the next edition as we love to discover niche music! Now I pass the final hosting to Roba as he will be putting up the thread soon x (I will be making the recap tomorrow hopefully too!)
February 23, 20232 yr Oh yes, I’ll be good to vote in the final! I assume we’ll have the usual fortnight voting window?
February 23, 20232 yr Thanks ushting for all your hard work, amazing effort and I particularly loved the recap video which was very helpful!! (although we still don’t forgive and forget for that penultimate reveal x)
