My whole Top 10 qualified + myself so can’t really complain.

Also would have loved for some of the ones outside my Top 10 to have made it, but I can’t have it all!!!

  • Before the listenthrough I hadn't really conisdered DJ Suzy to be at risk at all, but the semi was super strong and competitive and it got lost in a quiet section, which is a shame because it's quite

am i trippin or did we lose a lot of pop songs in the semis?

Well we lost a lot of songs in general to be fair sarah x I think it looks like a reasonably genre balanced set of results?

All of my top 10 votes qualified!

(And I'll be taking good care of the sunfaded wooden spoon)

Semi 1
12 // Q

10 // Q

08 // Q

07 // FARC :: Banoffee – Muscles

06 //

05 // Sandénia :: Shawn Mendes – Heavy

04 // Q

03 // Q

02 // Q

01 // Q

Only losing two is not too bad but FARC and Sandénia was so good

Semi 2 (Would be votes and so many would have benefited from my votes LOL)

12 // D'yermak'er :: TĀLĀ – Ghosts

10 // Q

08 // Q

07 // Macromia :: Franc Moody – Bloodlines

06 // Aelandor :: Pom Pom Squad – Villain

05 // Q

04 // Harmonica :: Dan Black – Wonder

03 // Q

02 // Persephonia :: Sr. Falla De Origen – SQFML

01 // Q

Gutted to lose so many faves from Semi 2, loved all those DNQ's but i guess it was a stronger semi :(

In my almost three years of competing, I have never been more shocked by a result than 26th for Kathaldazia

I was trying to convince people it was going to win during the listenthrough

I lost two of my votes - Altyr and Rontvia - if I was told I'd lose two then I'd probably not expect it to be Rontvia, and Altyr I'm even more surprised by!

First time I've DNQed in 2 contests out of 3. In the bigger picture, only 3 top 30 finishes out of 12 which is nowhere near good enough. I thought this would be reasonably safe, but if all the alt voters think I've sent a pop song and all the pop voters think I've sent an alt song then I'm going to be in trouble. There's plenty of stuff I could have sent that would have been safer / I know the host would have liked, and likewise there's other contests I could have sent this to (the last BJSC or regular PFSC for example) but missing out on my first choice last time does funny things to the mind.

it worked when I sent Serpentsmile!

From the opposite semi TALA would have been in my top points, so it kinda looks like it was a victim of wrong semi syndrome!!!

Hopefully Bal will continue to participate <3

Did I just get my first Q streak in literal years?! cheeseblock

As alluded to earlier (and as I have probably mentioned every single time I've DNQed in the last decade, so I can finally stop harping on about it x) this is my first back-to-back DNQs since my 3 in a row in BJSCs 54-56 so that doesn't feel great but it is what it is! The pressure of keeping up my run of bouncing back from DNQs is off now I suppose, my next job is just to avoid making it a triple again, onwards and upwards ~ shall still be giving myself a pat on the back for sending another song that I'm confident I will not regret sending in the long run and from an artist that should have been new to everyone, good to see that it got a double figure number of voters including a gold medal, thank you very muchly to @Scene for that <3 as well as to @Jade for another medal and to Till, Pavita, Savan, Dandy, Freeze (😮), Lewis, Dobbo and Iz for the rest of the points. A handful more points than my DNQ got in the previous contest and finishing in the same position but further away from qualifying (though again I am genuinely glad that is the case as constantly DNQing by low single-figure margins was quite frustrating).

I'm not going to post the Q streak update tonight (I haven't updated my spreadsheet for this contest yet whoops so better get that done in the next couple of days), will aim to post it in the not too distant future, keep an eye out for any potential Jim bus replacement in the meantime if I am procrastinating too much x

Anyways, from my votes/rankings:

12 Q

10 Lentyll

8 Q

7 Q

6 Q

5 Q

4 Q

3 Q

2 Q

1 Q

15th Niceland

16th Aelandor

17th Macromia

18th République d'Áskorza

20th Ojnoj

22nd D'yermak'er

24th FSR Rontvia

26th New Lexico

27th Harmonica

31st Altyr Muunilinst

And lost from my ranking of semi 1:

5th Flynnonda

9th Kathaldazia

10th N DNTN

11th Pagasa

18th Ennea

19th Bronzil

22nd East Rukahavian

24th Sandénia

25th Lookylion

26th FARC

27th Freidland

29th A-Konohagakure

I considered my top 16 from both semis as good enough to be happy to vote for / put on my 2026 shuffle playlist so lost only 3 of those from my own semi (with only one of those actually getting points - and me providing more than 60% of the total points for said entry, still mourning that loss of an AQ for Lentyll!) and 4 from the opposite semi (but a few more of those being in the would-be points zone), am sure it shocks no one to say the AQ is also one that will be worthy of points from me so that leaves 26 songs in the final that I will want to vote for to some extent even before any more growing on me! So will still be a good final to look forward to and many thanks to Dan for the hostings even if a bit later in the day than planned.

(I was planning to go on the treadmill for half an hour after the results finished, am I still mental enough to do so at gone midnight xx)

Karma served. Sorry for betraying y'all alt/indie bloc. We promise we'll send one next month x

Thanks for the votes, anywayyy

+2 Republique d'Askorza

+1 Scotland 2

+1 Sovarasma

Bye bye.

I’m with blacksquare here being utterly shocked at Kathaldazia DNQing. This would’ve been an easy 12 for me in the semi and most likely an 18 in the final.

Brutal start of the year!

First since 155-157 magic (+ 160 after a two contest gap x)

This thread is viciously homophobic and to recover from this I will simply have to abuse my power as mod and cancel the semis and their results and qualify myself for the final
