Some of these songs are brilliant and I will be listening to them at least once more before finalising my votes...

One of these songs, however, I'm regretting listening to until the end. I persevered in hope it would improve and it did not. It was making my ears bleed, so I'd like to borrow the ears of the person who sent it as I'm sure it's not supposed to be painful, it would be nice to hear what it's supposed to sound like! 😂😂

Hopefully not Terra's toaster in bath gorgeousness 👀 That's only one part of the song so I'm not sure 🤔 Plus I haven't heard opposite semi's songs yet

I was in the same semi as that one, and I'm only reacting to the song today. Take from that what you will...

Being purposefully vague, I don't like all 40 of the other songs either... (so I may well dislike that almost as much as the "song" I was talking about, but I won't reveal that at this stage 😝)

After listening to the songs, you could use a traffic light system marking them in green, yellow, or red. Though it might be painful, but funny.

Idk are we allowed to reveal what we don't like? 🤣

After my votes are revealed, I'll spill x

I won’t be disclosing because I fear that I will accidentally give it hype it doesn’t deserve xx

In that case...

I would just like to say that I think Sovarasma's song is really awful and no one should vote for it x

Sorry, I didn't realize you were in the same semi. It's hard to keep track of everything at times

Oh, I completely get that! I have no idea who is behind most countries anyway haha

(I do know who is behind the noise I was talking about though... Not that that would be much of a clue 🤣)

I've said this before but I've basically started doing what I call a 'yes', 'maybe' and 'no' pile, while also ranking them. It kinda gives me a better idea. And sometimes a song will go from 'maybe' to 'yes' etc. I don't pay as much attention to where exactly I rank the ones in 'no' as it wouldn't make a difference to my votes anyway. But I still try to give each song a chance of course.

Finally on my first listen through. Well this is an interesting set of songs - sometimes it feels like BJSC is the complete antithesis of the multi chart!

A request to create a thread where all the countries are listed in alphabetical order, along with their flags and forum members behind them.

It would definitely be a good idea to have a fresh new thread for so many debutants in the last few years now should be listed and are not. It would have to be down to the current moderators though so we shall have to patiently wait for them.

I was going to post an updated list of the usernames for the countries in this contest - I will still do so, I am just still procrastinating on updating my spreadsheet x (can post the flags too, why not)

Are we still on for the listenthrough this evening? x

Yes please. I've sourced a much better YouTube clip for the Spodic entry. I hope that's the one that gets used

let's go

I'm currently in the Chinese take away awaiting duck fried rice. Please play something rubbish while you wait for my signal to begin.

(Not my entry)

New lore: "chop-hoe"

I’m compiling the votes and Its an anonymous event for me again ’cause I can’t remember who’s from where 🤣

Votes sent! I hope I gave a solid +18 boost to the song that completely won me over. In the end, I’m taking back what I said yesterday about this edition being overrated I’m actually now really happy with all 15 songs I gave points to, and I feel good about my votes! 😊

Now I’ll try to find the lucky recipient of my 18 points!! 🤣

I had to work late so missed the listenthrough sadly

Hope you enjoyed some French pop though
