greenfroze MOTHER

Thanks Harve & Savan!

The dream of avoiding the bottom 10 seems unlikely as expected but I'd settle for beating Why So Sirius x

Thanks to Greenfroze and Skall

Another two 18s for Ohota

thanks for the points Harve and Seven - especially that silver medal!

Thank you Freeze

Oooh 22 points in one go. Thanks Trifoski & Spodic Empire

Elëdan so far having only 14 votes but 7 18s and a 15

From my limited time in the contest, isn't that the standard for Eledan?

Their last two entries didn't get any 18s at all so not really! (but I think they have had some similarly polarising entries in the past)

20th Zanmatony // Goldie vs. Ulterior Motive - I Adore You (feat. Natalie Williams)

Highlights:

- Cumulonimbia's medal tally now stands at 4 golds, 4 silvers and 5 bronzes with this latest 18 following those we gave to Daniel Bortz in BJSC 135, Lanark Artefax in BJSC 137 and Edwin Rosen in BJSC 164. (Consider this us making up for snubbing 4 of your last 5 entries which doesn't feel good as a usual Cumulofan x This one had a bit of a journey to top our rankings as it was only 6th in its semi-final on my first listen, but it grew on me a lot, and lucked out a bit by Snapped Ankles' scandalous DNQ but shhh)

- Elëdan's medal tally now stands at 5 golds, 2 silvers and 2 bronzes with this being their highest points from us and first time in our medals since 18 to KMRU in BJSC 147.

- Trifoski's medal tally now stands at 6 golds, 1 silver and 7 bronzes (seizing their 7th bronze oddly enough they got 4 bronzes from us within their first 15 entries and this is now their 2nd bronze in the last 3 contests so they seem to come clumped together x)

- Danæviia get their highest points from us since 18 to Castle Rat in BJSC 163.

- Singerpurear get their highest points from us since 10 to Cockney Rebel in BJSC 160.

- Aesthetica get their first points (point) from us since 12 to Frost Children in BJSC 154.

Apols to our hosts for just missing out on our points but at least you're right next to Aeroche in that honour xo

Good luck to all and hopefully our Ghais isn't in a distant last place xx

What's this? Eledan are now within 24 points of 1st place after a less than successful round from FARC, Eledan become the second nation to reach 200 points. The top eight are starting to pull away a bit from the rest but Cumulonimbia and Trifoski have both made it into the top 10 for the first time tonight. Seyetana are making a last minute sprint with a successful round of votes getting them out the bottom five.

omgggg land of dw you're so real for this x

So here for Hushky coming last (Ty for my 18 Tim)

so basically I should stay away from sending pop entries. noted

Thanks Frank!

Got my wooden spoon back (at least it's not a 'distant' last place as my commentary warned I suppose xo)

and ooh getting closer between the top 2 there...

Thanks Brer for the 10 points! Amazed to be on the podium at this stage and even more impressed that Elëdan are getting a bit closer to the top

Ghais Guevara deserves better than last x

Nice way to end a drought from the last 12 voters - thank you Bré!
