March 9Mar 9 Anyhow ended up with an excellent top 5 here! 'Falling For You' was only lower midtable for me in the end but still definitely see why it was a winner and we always love to see a first time winner (and justice for Amelie Lens who deserved way more than 36th for her previous entry which got a bronze medal from me x). I voted for all of the songs in 2nd-4th, Bronzil's was a grower for me throughout the contest getting more and more infectious with each listen so well done on the new peak, now let's hope you don't have to suffer 5 more runner up results before winning like Klum did and as commented before love to see myself finishing in the top 5 alongside Jadakissnia for the first time ever after almost 10 years, Vioflesh got a medal from me so cannot complain at them narrowly beating me x I didn't vote for anything else from the top 10 but Hendinia and Bøtanikkä were both commiserations and will be going onto my shuffle playlist anyway, argh at the former being another one coming surprisingly close to ending Hendinia's epic qualification streak but you wouldn't know it from the final result! Have to say I'm a little surprised Lauren Mayberry did so well, I usually love CHVRCHES but this song didn't do a lot for me, I'll be checking out her solo album some time soon so hoping there'll be songs that appeal to me more on there.Lots more of my faves lining up just outside the top 10, particularly pleased to see that insane Frost Children track getting them another pretty good result, also hooray for some justice for Max Cooper indeed doing quite a bit better this time than when I sent him. Underrated corner this month for me are Terra Avium (I'm not sure why this one did so much worse than Vioflesh, also eek so close to not even qualifying!), Pestolia, Fljótavík, Séyetana (didn't exactly expect this to do super well but could at least have got it to triple figures, this is some good high fructose brain rot here x) and Hinterlandia who we'll be missing next month </3 hope they will be back after that and preferably with a newfound timeliness for voting xx Also really surprised at how poorly Mothertopia did.Aside from Mack and Noche who I already acknowledged, a belated arigatō to Chez, Frank and Jacob for the silver medals, Colm and Iz for the bronzes (a medal from Iz was my vision for this entry so it doing so well with lots of other people too is a bonus xx), Ansel, Dan, Cow, Dobbo and Meekul for further double figure pointage and Jade, Pete, Roba, dandy*, Jim, Savan, uhsting, blacksquare, Kerth, Mikey and Miri for the remainder of my points! First time I've got points from Macromia so hooray for those mealworms especially x + I see I got 6 points each in the semi from Jake and Lindsey too but dropping off to 0 for the final aw, though a commiseration is better than I usually do for the latter so I'll take it. Also lost my 6 points from the semi from hinterland with them not voting in the final oop. Oh my at me having the most votes in semi 2 *.* My best final position since Nur Jaber came 3rd in BJSC 150, although 2 points short of what Agent blå got to come 8th in 164 - in any case, great to have another year with at least one top 10 hit locked in already meaning 2023 remains an anomaly for now, this year is off to a pretty strong start for me in general with 2 for 2 top 20 hits so let's hope I can keep that up! (Unfortunately after being well prepared for these first 2 contests I currently have nothing for the next one and ofc we're moving onto that pretty swiftly oop so I'd better get looking )Thanks Cody for the hosting efforts, as said already but bears repeating you were in an unenviable position of having to deal with the entire function of the site being flipped on its head halfway through the contest but kept things going smoothly, we love to see it x
