ohhh i thought i was on my longest streak?

BEN I HAD FAITH IN YOU

OMG I‘m glad that we both are through from this horror semifinal :yahoo:

 

But left until the very end, I thought I‘m out…

07 10 Danæviia

the 4th time we've reached a run of 10 now - that disastrous 27th-place finish in the semi from this time last year really got our ass into gear

just two more to go then and I get my longest run and first calendar year of only qualifiers :dance:

ohhh i thought i was on my longest streak?

You may well be - I don't have the stats from before this year!

It feels CORRECT to qualify. When it's right it's right!

ohhh i thought i was on my longest streak?

 

You are now! (your previous best was also 10 in BJSCs 78-87, and that being another of the runs of 10 in a row with none making the top 10 x)

 

I do have my spreadsheet up to date again now so I can resume posting full updates for the Q streak, I'll try and get a full one up for this month soon ~

what other country specific stats have you got? :kink: I don't keep anything at all except a list of my entries and even that I had to ask you for at one point bc I'd gotten behind :lol:

what were the other ones?

 

You've had 10 in a row twice in BJSCs 24-33 and 122-131 (although the former is mostly covering the One Big Final era, only 3 of those 10 had to actually go through a semi). The latter run funnily enough is one of the previous runs of 10 qualifiers in a row with none of them making the top 10 as Jim has alluded to a few times recently :magic:

 

Thank you!

Curious whether I have dodged a notorious record but has a nation win twice in a row and NQ thrice in a row in the same year? :unsure:

we've barely had anyone do the first one

 

so no

Also am I the lowest scoring winner?

Also very happy to have got nine of my 10 songs I voted for through (only missing my 1 pointer Cheiron) and all four of my neary-rans/comiserations went through too. POP HOETRY UP!

Happy to be through, also to match my highest Q streak to date :wub:

Aeroche, Jadakissnia and Danæviia <3

 

Shame to see Scotland 2 out although they didn't quite make my top 10 of the semi. I thought Macromia's debut had a cool aesthetic to it but didn't find the actual tune of it to be too memorable so not surprised that it's out, still promising for future entries from them should they be sticking with us (please do! x)

 

I hoped that HELLO KITTY would stand out a bit more, but everyone has different taste in music! T'was still fun to participate so far and I'd def like to join in next time. :dance:

That threshold for qualifying would definitely lead you to believe the top countries in Semi 1 must have been mopping all the points and the winner is probably in that semi.

Once again, I'm extremely glad I avoided sending a personal favorite in an extremely difficult semi, but nonetheless thanks for everyone who have voted for my entry. ^_^
