Deandria has been competing on/off since 2008 😄 And Dalisska started around 2007/2008 as well

Another fun fact from BJSC43, only 14 countries are still competing 14+ years later (with Numayania on and off), and those are:

FSR Rontvia

D'Áskorza

Bøtanikkä

Elëdan

Persephonia

Numayania

Hendinia

Kluminican Republic

Fljótavík

Seyetana

Terra Avium

Danævia

Greenfroze

Ojnoj

Also New Lexico (but under their old name) as well as many others I’d expect

That was only my second contest and first wooden spoon *__ Sending Bastille just before they hit the mainstream x

Yeah, Allecian are New Lexico! And Altyr Muunilinst were FYR Vojvodina-on-the-Wold too! So that's 16!

Utopia competed earlier this year once or twice, but are not here this month

A few countries didn't fancy the trip to Bøtanikkä last time but entered the one before and/or after, but are here this time around!

Juranabaijan (42)

Skall (42)

East Rukahavian [as Usfland, I believe] (42 & 44)

Aeroche (44)

Dalisska were there a couple of contests prior (41) and N DNTN a couple after (45) too! So some fair retention here, I know myself and Dalisska had extended absences not long after!

(Though I just noticed there's no East Ruk this time around either, I wonder if the same thing will happen again and Mack enters 187 🤣)

I am taking it personal @Mack. for missing two contests I've been hosting...one 14 years ago and one now (joking obviously, hope everything is well with you )

Did not find out that my act is a semi-Séyetana recycle until after submitting! The lead singer of Ok Goodnight is a previous feature of theirs, Casey Lee Williams. 🎸

That's a recycle I'd never have expected considering the song I submitted her on was her working with her dad (he was lead composer) on songs for the animated show RWBY, will be interested to hear what sound she and her band have now.

I recall BJSC 43 very well, I really enjoyed that contest and found a lot to keep over the years, though that's what it was like in the early days when every contest I spent ages with. Should get round to listening to this one soon.

First song in and I'm already loving this contest🥳

Feels good to get back into this!

Kudos to Séyetana being the only country on this list that hasn’t won yet. Very impressive patience skills x

My plans are measured in centuries. Or in this case, precisely one century and a half of entries.

vote Saint Agnes

Randomly, I think my first ever contest was XIV too

Due to unforeseen circumstances, East Rukahavian didn't enter the contest, we would like to apologise to @Assy! for not entering this contest.

actually remember lurking in that contest so clearly. seeing iamamiwhoami lose on a tiebreak was the thing that pushed me into signing up and entering a few months later lolll

I'll ask the question then... Any possibility of the listening session for SF2 tomorrow?

have completed listening to all Semi 1, and yeah...brutal.

Would love to join the SF1 listenthrough for a second listen, and anytime but Friday would be good.

Juranabaijan's semi final votes are in!

Best of luck to the 10 that received votes, and to the next 15 songs that I didn't have space for 😭

I’m also playing the long game this time in that I’ve got a follow-up entry up my sleeve and don’t intend to throw all my toys out the pram when I come 27th in the semi

Can do

We love to see AKRIILA being entered again, very intrigued for a Jane Remover collab from her! Sending some hype to Skall as well ~

This semi draw is not ideal for my song to put it lightly but let me not overanalyse x

She’s a man eater make you buy cars make you cut cards

I didn’t notice Nelly Furtado being in this at first x
