February 17Feb 17 In SF1 for a change :o only for the third time but just 3 contests after the second, maybe the alliance is wearing off -_- still in the opposite semi to Aelandor for a 10th contest in a row where we've both taken part. I've only charted one of these songs so instant hype for Klum Rep, I also voted for / mentioned I liked the Neliönoir / Hendinia entries in relation to this week's polls in the genre forums. I recognise a few songs in my own semi too but they're still pretty new to me. (also getting in early with a SF1 listenthrough on Wednesday pls xxx)Seconded.
February 17Feb 17 I'd be happy to have the semi 1 listenthrough on Wednesday but can someone other than me host it pls as I'm going out in the early evening and not sure I'll be home by 8pm (and by the same token I might miss the start of it x). I will get the YouTube playlists posted before then ~
February 17Feb 17 Straddling the line between pop bloc and dance bloc this time around! And with male vocals, ooooh! Hopefully my fellow Defenders are feeling what Aesthetica's brought to the table this time around~Â
February 18Feb 18 two tracks, one in each semi that I rate and have charted: that'll be Viva L'Opera and Kiss Them For Me, hopefully they will make the final :dance:
February 18Feb 18 I believe this is only my 2nd time being in semi 2! Recognise a couple entries from the list too!
February 18Feb 18 Lmao I didn't even think about AQ'ing when I chose my entry. I don't believe I did the last time I came 2nd. Â So I only have to vote in SF2 right. Just double checking as this has not been a position I've found myself in for a very long time and I seem to remember needing to vote in both in, like, 2014.
February 18Feb 18 Yeah only my 3rd time being in SF2 as well (out of 11) I was thinking we've hardly ever been in the same semi either - the last time I was in SF1 was your last in SF2, and the only time we've been in the same semi was 7 contests ago! Lmao I didn't even think about AQ'ing when I chose my entry. I don't believe I did the last time I came 2nd.  So I only have to vote in SF2 right. Just double checking as this has not been a position I've found myself in for a very long time and I seem to remember needing to vote in both in, like, 2014. You still have to vote in both. Same as when you last had an AQ (and hosted) in 2023.
February 18Feb 18 The only contest I ever remember where the 2 AQ nations only voted in 1 semi each was when 152wild co-hosted back in like 2016 but you have to submit the request pre-contest iirc.
February 18Feb 18 I was thinking we've hardly ever been in the same semi either - the last time I was in SF1 was your last in SF2, and the only time we've been in the same semi was 7 contests ago! That’s the beauty of randomisation I guess. At some point it’ll go the other way and then you’ll be sick of me!  I try not to pay attention to who is in my semi so I can focus purely on the song, although I now take a brief look to see whether I think I have a chance of qualifying! Â
February 18Feb 18 East Rukahavian have voted, :). An high quality semi-finals. Both the semi-finals are stacked, very difficult to predict who is an definite Q.
February 18Feb 18 You still have to vote in both. Same as when you last had an AQ (and hosted) in 2023. 2023 is a blur clearly. Â Ok cool just checking because the way it's laid out implies I'm an honourary member of SF2 only
February 19Feb 19 voted. Good semi 1, there were some that we had no room to vote for but hope they qualify along with the 10. There are some obvious easy qualifiers and quite a few good/interesting ones that might be more more borderline, but cherrypicking 2 a bit of hype from us for Gusgus and driia just because.
February 19Feb 19 I wanna throw some additional hype to Bronzil. Gusgus are amazing per usual and I was so happy to see them get Urður (Earth) back for this track (she used to featured on a lot of the older tracks like Within You, Over, etc but was mostly absent post 2011). Always enjoy seeing some Icelandic representation in this <3
February 19Feb 19 Rontvian votes are IN! It's a mixed semi for me but the second half was strong, there are some great dance and foreign language entries this time.
