Sad that Pagasa missed out, one of my absolute faves in that semi. It features Nina Persson (of The Cardigans fame) on backing vocals, I guessed it may have been a bit doomed tho.

Belated congrats to Aelandor as well!

 

EDIT: Abeltesfayeton have secured an all-time new peak!

I'm convinced the real trifoski has been quietly assassinated and taken over by an iPad baby

yeah that's a more accurate summary of what happened than anything i could give tbh

 

Ah darn, that was going a bit too good to be true. Really great one from Harmonica, the last part was amazing <3

 

Wonderful to see Fljotavik and Aelandor through though, niche fans come though *.

oh okay WOW i was already not confident and then the few surprise qualifiers only solidified that, but thanks to everyone for proving me wrong! :heart:

Harmonica racism reinstated </3

 

I was a bit slow to get into this song but it got better as it went along and still ended up just about making my top 10 of the semi in 10th place, think it's very likely that would / will be another grower.

 

Activating Abeltesfayeton prayer circle

damnit I was really hoping Harmonica would do well

I'm going to listen to that Pagasa track, it sounds up my street from the descriptions people are giving

GOD BLESS YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE

:cheer: ! 3rd excellent entry in a row from Abeltesfayeton, fabulous to see it finally giving them a first qualifier, well done Nate. What a banner month for hip-hop *.* think this will be the biggest hit of the 3 now it's passed the semi-final hurdle.

 

Happy to see Rolloland through too!
