I didn't expect The Idle Race still to be in with a chance.

Dobago AC and Terra Avium DTF seems most likely to me

clearly Buzzjack can't resist a good ol German sea shanty (presuming/hoping that is DTF)

Ask and ye shall receive!

DTF: Terra Avium: Santiano - Santiano

Taste! Love the two qualifiers, probably my two favourites overall.

So a classic AC or BUST between Dobago and Rolloland awaits us but who will get a second chance and who will be thrown to the scrap heap?

WD Chez!

I voted for both remaining songs so don't mind too much, though "bubble bubble bubble" has become quite an earworm!

AC: Rolloland: The Idle Race - Lucky Man

...oh y'all wanted a twist? Not sure what I expected but it was...not this!

Oh wow! Commiserations Dobbo. My 6 and 2 pointers out.

Thank you Lex for hosting!

So to recap (DTFs and ACs are in alphabetical order, don't read anything into it!)

Good to see LSR/CITY on the top 2!

The pop entries were always doomed in this draw so I can't say I'm surprised

In the words of my song: Oh my!

For anyone who wasn't at the listenthrough, The Idle Race are the first group of ELO's Jeff Lynne. This is well timed, with Jeff performing a short farewell UK tour this week, finishing in Hyde Park on Sunday. Thanks to everyone who gave points to 'Lucky Man'.

OMG yes Terra AND Rolloland! Can't believe I'm as high as 6th, think this is the first BJFest I've avoided the wooden spoon.

Absolutely tragic draw. Now everyone else has to suffer through Rolloland

In the nicest way, that table looks like it's upside down

Shocked at Renee coming that low. I didn't listen to all of these but I've been loving MAD this week.

It's okay, I'm going to find a Bosnian troll chant for the next edition so I'll win

Hooray Completely benefitted from that draw there, I think I'd have most likely been out or only narrowly through elsewhere, but great to be in a BuzzFest final for the first time not being taken over by lobsters (iykyk x)

Love seeing Rolloland qualifying as well, and I enjoyed all of the other three Qs too. Jupiterdonia and Land of DW got my 2 and 6 respectively, a shame to lose them, very fun foreign language bops x

Meh. My track record of sending what I think will be a surefire dominator and completely flopping continues

0 for 1 on my faves of the semis progressing so far, RIP Land of DW x

How I ranked the DNQs:

1st Land of DW

3rd Jupiterdonia

7th République d'Áskorza

8th Dobago

9th Lotunia

11th Taahino

Foreign bangers robbed (yay for Terra Avium DTF and Danæviia AC though x)
