You. Only better in every way.

 

A winner.

 

28 doses. Two stabiliser packs. One week.

A perfect balance.

Easy, right?

If you respect the balance… what could possibly go wrong?

 

● Take the activator and create the best new version of you (Listen to the autoqualifying entry, REIN's "How's It Gonna Be?", representing Aeroche).

● Administer the stabiliser doses regularly (Listen to all 28 songs in your semi final).

● Respect the balance (Only vote in your semi-final and do not vote for yourself. Aeroche will vote in both semi-finals as the autoqualifying nation.).

● Enjoy your new perfect existence (Vote for your favourite 10 entries from your semi-final by PM'ing me, using the Eurovision voting system (12, 10, 08, 07, 06, 05, 04, 03 02, 01. Please take care to vote correctly as incorrect votes may not be accepted).

● After six days, switch - no exceptions (Vote by the expiry date/deadline below to avoid a 33% deduction from your nation's scores. Late votes will result in a 15% entry deduction and will be accepted at host discretion. Your nation will turn blue or pink once you've voted).

 

VOTE.

Inspired by:

Demi one :wub:

 

This looks like a good contest from the songs I already know!

Oooh only my 2nd appearance in SF2

eyy TurquoiseDeath good choice Trifoski

 

I have been eager to hear stuff by a bunch of these artists and I think they look to be roughly evenly distributed across the semis ~

Not even seen the movie but this theme is pretty damn cool.

 

Ngl first thing I did was check whether Bronzil was in semi 2 as per and shock! they're not :o

fyi - the Republique D'A link didn't work for me - but there does seem to be another video for it

There was just a letter missing from the URL in the OP, quickly fixed now x

 

Danæviia's link goes to the full album but I'm guessing that was intentional for the visuals, the song is track 1 on the album so I guess just remember to turn it off after that xx

On a quick scan I charted both the Izzy Camina and Ela Minus songs so early hype to those 🩷

Hendinia already has enough funds to host another contest?? :o :o

Ooh I know of Suki Waterhouse, Rebecca Black and Samantha Jade! :D Suki Waterhouse was actually my first thought for this contest as her album recently dropped so looking forward to hearing MAW again.

10/10 for Demi One and Semi Sue, no notes.

I hope this makes everyone go see the substance

:o Last time my run in SF2 ended in the final contest, this year it's the penultimate one!

 

Still in the opposite semi to Aelandor though for an 8th contest in a row, but pretty happy with this draw overall. I've already charted the Klum Rep, Terra Avium and Kathaldazia songs in my semi, and may have been about to chart two in the other semi.

 

Look forward to the listenthrough(s), with all the contests happening at once we should probably set some dates pronto! Tonight or tomorrow work best for me, but I definitely couldn't make Friday.

I'd be happy to do the first listenthrough for this tonight :thinking:

Demi One and Semi Sue is iconic

 

I did expect to see Geordie Greep this month but in Nuggets. Most of Semi Sue is new to me *.*

 

Thee Joanna Newsom, Caribou, Psychic Twin, Father John Misty, Izzy Camina, and Elkka all in the other Demi though

 

 

 

SF2 today plz

not thrilled about that semi draw but we shall see

Happy to be in Semi Sue bc the Aesthetica entry is very Sue-coded! Loved this movie and love your take on it for the contest 💖

I was going to see this movie but plans changed before I knew there was a following, might have to see where I can find it now it's out of my local cinema

 

SF2 today plz

 

+1 🥺
