@Doctor Blind Did you make the video for your entry yourself? (I just heard/saw it for the first time)

Are you a train driver?

Final YouTube playlist

(but don't forget to check out the Vimeo visuals for Cumulonimbia x)

The Jadakissnian people have voted! 💋

Voted x

Definitely the 2 best AQs in a long, long time.

After review we came to a final decision.

Voted

Drag all the previous hosts x

Voted! My top 2 are insanely close, I would like to say that my 15 is actually also an 18 in my heart ❤️

Also, I enjoy it when my votes include a song or two that I doubt many people would expect me to vote for! For example, a few contests ago I voted for the Mothertopia entry called 'Girls Gone Wild' which I was pleasantly surprised about but it was so vibe-y and fun - and it happened again in this edition, I didn't give this one as many points but I doubt many would expect me to vote for a song like that.

Voted!

Due to the massacre that was my semi final voting I have no idea who I’m voting for at the moment! I’m still at 32 songs but for once it’s a 50-50 split of what I have left!

I have 19 songs I wanna give points to and that is probably the most in a long time

And that is excluding my own so there is 20 bangahs

Hey Mattius, it was edited together using time-lapse footage of one of my favourite train journeys to Perth from Inverness provided by LNER. I was trying (but probably failing) to go for the vibe of the Chemical Brothers video for "Star Guitar" which is one of my favourite music videos (and songs). Thank you for checking it out.

I'm not a train driver tho,, I wish I was (especially for the pay!)

Strong final

Voted! Such a strong final, a few songs at least that would have easily got into my votes that I had to leave out

You had to show them the red card then.

One more chance on the world stage tonight for a "final decision"

nnn at me somehow only just now realising 'Elderbrook' has been spelt wrong this entire contest

(I have scrubbed all evidence of this other than this post )

and we did indeed get one

I'll send my votes tonight. I listened to the final once, but I got a bit bored by the end. This time I'm going to listen from the last song to the first instead. 😂
