(also lol at iOS apparently saying no to Comic Sans and replacing it with a near unreadable font when the entire point of Comic Sans is to be readable)

I think you'll find the entire point of Comic Sans is to print A4 certificates for infant school children to award them for being nice to each other or completing all the reading books in the red section

Please f*** off is my thesis

i've seen this gif many times and i need to know the context

genuinely, comic sans is disgusting, a sorry excuse of a font

I rarely know a lot of entries (nor even artist names) beforehand and this time is no exception. I did, however, have Séyetana's entry on my list of potentials, so I already love that one!

I also had another song by Yehesi's artist Suzane on my list as well, so I'm instantly removing them both from my list. Good, now I only have 107 songs left to consider for the next contest.

Have you got at least one to donate to poor Dandy’s potential-less cause?

I noticed that, poor thing.

Yes, at the moment I am willing to donate seven of my potential entries, as I like a nice round number.

What is the proposed day for Semi 2 listenthrough?

Hushkanukia beat me to Valencia! Taste! Hopefully it does well for you. It’s like a mix of Kate Bush, Chappell’s Hot To Go and Marina. A very quirky fun pop track.

I know quite a few more than normal this time round - expecting Hushkanukia to do well (the triple confirmation would probably add to that thought process, but it definitely sounds more competitive than the last Valencia entry), FSR Rontvia, Altyr Muunilinst, Scotland 2 and probably Fljotavik too.

Feel like I’ve taken a bit of a bigger risk than usual (which is no risk at all, being honest) so that’s scary when there’s 32 entries to go through this time but I don’t think it’ll blend in, so that’s good at least. And I’ve remained in love with it all the way through the Christmas break so I hope that bodes well.

Me too! I was gutted... But I knew you'd already been beaten to it as soon as I saw your description in the confirmation thread, so it was only a matter of time before I got asked to confirm something else 🤣

Good luck to Hushkanukia, it's already been a massive hit in my chart!

OMG?! I think this is the first time this has happened to me and I was completely unaware of it! 😂😂😂

Thank you for the hype! Very unusual for Hushky. 😂

It's on Tuesday - the dates have been in the OP since the thread was posted if you're on a device that allows you to read them

System preference supremacy

Cheiron has voted!

A song I almost disregarded managed to bag 8 points in the end. 😱

Listening to all of these songs is more of a commitment than I anticipated! I'm only about a third of the way through them and don't know what I'd do without Pav's apple playlists 😂

I definitely could listen to stuff while doing other things, but I feel they deserve my attention to vote properly 🙈

Can I vote for more than 10 songs this semi round? 😁 Haha, I have a lot of songs I'd be happy to vote for (i.e. the 'yes pile'). There are a lot of songs that are various levels and combinations of gorgeous, catchy, interesting, intriguing and enjoyable. Really enjoying this one.

I hate Papyrus more.

I really like Blacksquare’s style here. When I first came to the forum, I think he organized BJSC, and I really liked how everything looked visually.

Voted!

My SF2 votes are in!

Highs are very high this month in both semis so a good start to the year 💞

Thank you! You have made my morning 🖤
