Traditional ballads have maybe had their day in BJSC with Herbs out too and nowhere near.

Sad, but glad a few people liked it. Thwarted by topping the first set of odds!

I'm really not a ballady person, in general. I guess the slight familiarity of that one maybe helped too (although I haven't heard the studio version in years!)

Well I’m hoping I helped 1-2 nations qualify with my votes at least

Cor Lupus \\ Sarah Nimmo - I Still Miss You (Obviously was fkin qualifying)

Juranabaijan \\ My First Time - The Kids Are

Deandria \\ KHOIBA - HOW THE EYE

Dalisska \\ Internet Islands - Kelpie

3 qualifiers in a row for East Rukahavian, although will they avoid last place in the final this time... (glad that they are through as I thought this might be one that gets a lot of low points but not many higher ones).

Great for Skall & Freidland too (and Jadakissnia although feeling this might be a rare entry from them that doesn't get points from us - though historically that correlates well with them winning xx).

bassvictim was my 4 pointer grr, have really enjoyed all of their song contest entries but those translating to 2 BJSC DNQs and a bottom 10 in Club Bizarre, not sure what about their music is repeatedly not connecting.

Your death matches are:

Land of DW vs New Lexico

&&

Harmonia vs Pestolia

the gen z bloc will surely lift east rukahavian out of the bottom i think x that’s pretty much the sound and aesthetic we like atm

lots to mourn at the moment - POPHub, Zanmatony, Lotunia, Summericia (I thought that would be safe???) 😭😭😭

Lots of great songs in since I last commented but I also lost my would-be 12 and 8 in the opposite semi with Jupiterdonia and FARC out 😭

thanks Jake and Jupiter for those fantastic discoveries.

Edit: thank you so much for getting Le Belladone through ❤️

Deandria & Dalisska <3

Definitely rooting for Land of DW and Pestolia from these last pairs, although Harmonica's was decent too.

brb

Ffs lost my 8 pointer then

Congrats to all who qualified

I will vote in the final if PopHub gave me points…

Both of the Jadakissnia recycles qualifying yay TEMMIS!!

These results have really really surprised me. Even though I said that Semi 2 was hard to predict, I still feel a bit like I’m lucky to have escaped what seems like an absolute toss up.

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. 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).

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