I was a little bit confused by Frances being predicted to win, I won’t lie, but I still thought it’d be a finalist.

Not half as confused as I was. I expected a scrape Q maybe (and it wasn't far off that). The odds looked like a very randomised list to me.

All of my votes qualified ❤️

However, as aforementioned, lost some big favourites from the opposite semi...

12 \\ Jupiterdonia \\ Miynt - The Strangest Game

10 \\ Q

08 \\ FARC \\ Mercy Girl - Heaven

07 \\ Q

06 \\ Q

05 \\ Q

I was prepared for Jupiterdonia due to the blanket DNQ predictions but I'm a bit shocked about FARC.

Thanks Phil for the speedy results!

Gosh at the New Lex predictions being correct, thought that was pop bloc catnip.

But mama in that semi, where were the points coming from?

My entry did not quality? Honestly? Ok...

I think all my votes got through? Only the second time that's happened, and the first since BJSC 154 (excluding one of the BJSC 173 semis when I had an AQ and voted in both)

Definitely NOT the case this time around. I forgot to say though, with the speed of results coming through, that I’m thrilled to see the Yehesi DNQ predictions didn’t come true.

Congrats to everyone who qualified!

Semi 2 was a similar picture for me!

Actually, no, more of my mid tables were knocked out instead. But my top 5 of each semi qualified!

I only lost my 3-pointer this time which was Harmonica.

Thanks for getting 'How The Eye' through for Deandria

I think all my Semi 2 votes did actually get through.

Projected semi 1 was a different story, suddenly a vaccum has opened at the top of my final votes...

12 \ Herbilore \ Loren Kramar - Gay Angels

10 \ New Lexico \ Cate - Leave Your Man At Home

2 \ Cumulonimbia \ Arooj Aftab - Raat Ki Rani

1 \ N DNTN \ bassvictim - Sometimes I believe in God (Sometimes I believe in Me)

These results were not it for me:

10 / FSR Rontvia

08 / Mothertopia

06 / Summerica

02 / Taahino

Fastest results reveal ever ❤️

yeaahhhhh thats defo an Rd'Á trademark

Last 2 qualifiers both going the way I wanted, yay x Bladee imitator joining the real Bladee in the final *.*

New Lexico's entry feels like it was designed in a lab to be ragebait to me (as the site's #1 Sabrina Carpenter hater etc.) but I wouldn't have actually predicted it to DNQ!

From my votes/ranking:

12 Q

11th Cumulonimbia

12th FARC

17th Ajanaeda

20th Jupiterdonia

22nd POPHub

24th Greenfroze

28th New Lexico

The top 4 there I think would all have had a chance of getting points from me in the final as I thought this was the stronger semi but all of them were a fair way off the qualifying mark so couldn't have helped them more I suppose.

Having said that, from my first listen ranking my entire top 15 of semi 2 have made it (!) so that might well have dampened the hopes of Cumulonimbia & FARC to make it into my final votes. Will drop my ranking for the DNQs for posterity when I've done a 2nd listen again (oop I keep not managing to fit these in before semi results lately) but at the moment my highest ranked DNQ was Harmonica in 16th.

Thanks for the speedy reveal Phil x

08 \\ Jupiterdonia  \\ Miynt - The Strangest Game

05 \\ Cumulonimbia \\ Arooj Aftab - Raat Ki Rani

01 \\ FARC  \\ Mercy Girl - Heaven

Sorry to N DNTN and Herbilore that almost got points but didn't, although it wouldn't have made a difference and FARC did in the end just sneak in and that didn't get through either sooo yeah!

And Ella Boh too (although not my favourite song by her, think we’ll see her again in the future with something a bit more competitive but still, deserved the final).

Agreed with this btw - I actually sent her to the final (pre-forum migration) edition of the PopJustice Song Contest with 'iNSOMNiAC' and she came top 10 there for me, unfortunately am not feeling 'STARLET' nearly as much as that!

Did I miss Spodic and Trifoski announcements then?

Yes

Oh wow in a surprising turn of events, all of my votes (and myself!) have qualified ö

I really chose the fastest semi final reveal to be the first one I followed along on my spreadsheet didn't I? 🤣
