OK I`ve confirmed. I didn`t want to, but I`ve found a great track and also I saw that an old country is back (Numayania), that often liked my entries, and I thought let`s give it a try again :P :D

Just 2 participants away from 60… :o

Oh no, I should have voted for it for sure! :o :lol:

Still nothing from St Burbia or D’yermak’er then? That’s a surprise. :mellow:

 

Maybe still an outside chance of an entry from them as well as Flynnonda, Republic of Adonia, Sandénia or Suedeonia from last month’s participants.

 

Oh and before he inevitably asks for it, Michael needs more… tarm.

T minus one hour for confirmations! Only one submission away from 60!!

Wait... has Harry saved Dan's blushes for an auto qualifier??? :o

 

Also what is the story behind our new nation, are the taking part this month or not?

And Beaverdonia brings us to 60! Confirmations are now closed!

Unfortunately we have some last minute vetoes to hand out…

I was going to reveal the Semis tonight but it may have to be tomorrow to allow for the reconfirmations, we’ll see.

 

 

 

Apologies about the late vetoes, one of them was confirmed last night and both of the other two are re-confirmations from people who already got vetoed. We did try and get ahead of ourselves this time so not to try and hold things up!

I had no second option, so I just checked some iTunes charts, and I`ve found something interesting, so I reconfirmed.

 

Can you please check if this goes through?

Quick look at it, I can't see that it gets any veto points, so you should be fine x

I CANT WIN OMG will research quickly and have something else in! Won’t delay the semis!

You guys are working hard this time :lol:

 

I didn't expect Sevdaliza to be vetoed in all honesty considering she always flopped etc etc but fair enough now that I see all the bullets listed!!!

 

Ok, I will reconfirm something shortly again!!!

Sevdaliza wasn't really the biggest issue with it... :kink:

oh really like that sevdaliza song!

Bit of a troll entry, but I am in… again!

As long as it's not a cover of a certain other song with the same name :P

Sent something very synth-y dreamy pop and I hope this one it will be safe from vetoing <3

It’s not! But I have a more serious backup if this somehow also gets vetoed!
