July 14Jul 14 Judging by Vaskla giving 2pts to Jupiterdonia, I assume they were the ones previously going through with the incorrectly ordered votes, cos 10pts would've seen them through.They're my biggest shock though, outside of that, I definitely saw this being Jupiterdonia's biggest hit in a while. Not enough for a vote from me personally but I thought it would've had its audience for sure.
July 14Jul 14 Author ATTENTION ALL PASSENGERSThis is an important announcement from Bøtanikkä Airways Operations.During our upgrade process, one passenger successfully cleared all security checks, passed immigration, and was fully eligible to board...but somehow never had their name called at the gate.After reviewing the passenger manifest, we have discovered that FARC was, in fact, holding a valid Business Class boarding pass all along. We sincerely apologize for the gate announcement oversight. Please proceed immediately through the priority boarding lane, where our cabin crew will be waiting with a complimentary glass of champagne.Welcome aboard the Grand Final, FARC 🥂
July 14Jul 14 Not the Botanikkan producers trying to silence Elëdan by putting us in the death slot!!
July 14Jul 14 07 Zanmatony - Patriarchy - Bite Marks06 Dalisska - Wildermiss - W.I.F.I. +04 Séyetana - Saint Agnes - The Father, The Son And The Holy BeastI think these were my points, unless I missed someone else being eliminated. I’m especially sad about Daliska it’s such a beautiful song. I thought Zanmatony had the potential for a very high placement… A very strange semifinal results in that sense for me.

July 14Jul 14 If second in the final is the death slot, then second from last is... the life slot? Appropriately late in the listenthrough for a midnight highway I guess!

July 14Jul 14 Stoked to be through!!!Only losing my one pointer is not as much of a shame as the worst song in the contest qualifying but I had expected Elëdan to make it through so had already come to terms with being subjected to that again

Despite being outside my Top 20, I still really enjoyed Persephonia upwards! I didn't mind Altyr Muunilinst's track either!Strange the that the two last songs to have their fate revealed were my least faves in the semi! (For what it's worth, I ranked Altyr Muunilinst above TEN songs in Semi 1 - such a disparity to me!)The Other Semi+12 | Baleghde et al | Marcus & Martinus - Wonder+10 | QUALIFIED+08 | QUALIFIED+07 | Numayania | Astels - Workin’ All Night+06 | Vaskla | Emily Makis - Too Fast+05 | QUALIFIED+04 | Dalisska | Wildermiss - W.I.F.I.+03 | Jupiterdonia | WARGASM - Pyro Pyro+02 | QUALIFIED+01 | Ennea | MYDY - Terrace Of 57th_11 | Séyetana | Saint Agnes - The Father, The Son and The Holy Beast_22 | Scotland 2 | babyMINT - 2023:BBMeme ODYSSEY_28 | Zanmatony | Patriarchy - Bite MarksWhich means that most of the songs which were challenging for points against the Semi Final 2 songs for me have already been eliminated 😭😭 6 of my would have been votes knocked out, plus the also very good Saint Agnes track.

July 15Jul 15 Thanks for the points, even if it wasn't enough to qualify. I was actually very confident in my entry until I listened to Semi 2. I thought it would stand out being more alt/retro in such a pop-heavy semi, but the quality was so high across the board, I mentally prepared myself to DNQ instead.Not only that, I lost 3 of my top 5!! I can't believe Mothertopia didn't sail through the semi? Feel the same about Altyr too actually. New Lexico was less of a surprise but I did love it, I guess sending a Harmonica-sounding entry means you also get a Harmonica-esque bottom-two finish It's not all bad, looking forward to hearing Semi 1 now that there's plenty of space in my votes. Also loving the airline theme and graphics so far!

July 15Jul 15 Couldn’t bear to check any of this out live. 0/4 qualification predictions confirmed all our mental catastrophising but delighted and amazed to have in fact made it! Thanks for the votes for Alana.We lost:5 Séyetana4 Ennea3 JupiterdoniaSorry to those like Zanmatony who we couldn’t quite vote for as well.Also sad to lose Persephonia, Pophub, Deandria and Harmonica who would all have had good points.
July 15Jul 15 Wow I didn’t have a clue what to expect for ‘Red Card’ so thanks to everyone who voted, I didn’t know if it would be loved or hated or both haha. Happy to keep my Q streak going as well

Thanks for the votes for Alana.It can be difficult to predict, particularly for a song that sounds as unique as 'Wax & Wane'! Just last time around I had 100% qualification predictions, but DNQed, so the predictions certainly aren't gospel!It's always great to see a new country qualify first time around: shame to see that Vaskla aren't there with you, but such is the nature of this contest!
