not THAT song getting the death slot ijbol

Looking forward to hearing the SF1 qualifiers. If it’s as poppy as people have said I may end up with a pretty one sided vote ;)

Please take up any coincidences with random.org x

I did lose some of my votes but overall this is a such a strong final if I say so myself - watching the recap is a treat for the ears *.*

random.org has the TEA i fear

at least I’m not in the death slot here so random.org is safe from getting called out for racism

Death slot isn't real

Happy to see Maggie and Cat in the final! Unfortunately won't be able to make the listen through this time though :(

Random Monday morning observation: Almost exactly half of the entries here have one-word titles. I first noticed in the semis.

#notthatinteresting #ok

Also only 2 entries are a collab/featuring!

But only ONE can be America's NEXT Top Model!

😐...

I may be slightly biased but I honestly do think FSR Rontvia might take this. And I do really like it as a song too, like the instrumental and everything.

From my initial impressions it's Cumulonimbia's for the win.

I'd go with Kathaldazia or FARC for the win (possibly Zanmatony too), but not sure anything sounds like a runaway winner so it could be a close contest this month.

Flattered with the positive predictions for Luukered though.

Greenfroze will be a huge underdog here.

Hendinia's (unfortunate) reconfirmation is actually the strongest imo

Throwing some hype to POPHub this time along with Danæviia too.

Will get started on my listen throughs today.

FYI I may have a new CHAS! But I won't be a dick about it this time

This is SUCH a hard final to call. Last month, it seemed like everyone was in agreement that it'd probably go to either Jadakissnia or Cor Lupus. This month, I've seen about 10 countries floated about as possible winners.

I really have no idea what to expect because, even though I made that post in the odds thread about not putting too much stock in listenthroughs, it's hard not to let it seep into your consciousness and start to turn your attention to the hyped electronic songs, instead of the likes of FARC, Mothertopia, perhaps myself (I still do have some confidence remaining that it's a whopper of a banger in spite of a fair deal of negativity!)

a whopper of a banger

i said what i said x

I've gotten probably the most hype I've ever gotten in the odds thread, it can only mean I'm either about to win or place dead last. Can't wait to see which one it is!
