We are out of the confirmation thread blender.

Please see below your allocated semi final. Have a blast listening and then rank your favourite 10, allocating them 12-1 points according to the Eurovision system. Please PM your scores to me and give your country name when doing so as embarrassingly I can forget who is who despite taking part in this thing for well over half my life.

The deadline for voting is Thursday 13th August 23:59 BST. When I've received your votes, your country name below will turn a different colour. Results will follow the following evening (Friday), with the top 20 of each semi qualifying for the final.

Myself and FARC autoqualify and will be voting in both semis.

Long song trigger warnings at the end of each semi x

Enjoy!

Sophia Stel hype!!

Well formatting something like that on the new site where you have to enter lots of links manually is ASS, when before I could just copy and paste BBCode. I could almost listen to the entire Dobago entry while I did it.

Also not a fan of how the centered-alignment text looks, notably that it is not centered, but we're just gonna have to get used to it now.

Ok I know 4 songs that aren't my own, one has long since been and gone in my chart, and one entered my chart today... Three are under 3 mins long and the other is shy of 3:30 x

Cumulonimbia didn’t enter?! 😭💔

I normally use this site for my formatting needs (my spreadsheets concatenate the BBcode...), then I just copy and paste, but it looks like the URL tags end up blank, I wanted to be helpful! 😭😭

Indeed :'( first Cumulonimbia-less contest since BJSC 129. Doctor B hasn't logged in for a couple of weeks, hope all is good and he is just busy observing weather and such x

(we have also lost Dalisska for the first time since their comeback last year aw - but 4 returns this month, welcome back to East Rukahavian, Kylienips, Pagasa and Wholune x)

Dalisska didn't either

Finally I can talk about my entry!

Finally Diana V dropped an actually good pop song in the vein of Once & CRJ!

Gigantic hype to Seyetana

I had Portraits of Tracy penciled in for the next contest

and I was right, Hendinia will be responsible for my DNQ this month

Yep I essentially did what that site does - I'm not sure what code this forum uses but you can't seem to enter any as text and have it format!

honestly i was kinda shocked nobody entered it when it came out!! to the point i almost did lol

Sophia Stel <3

The amount of times I’ve almost sent All My Friends Are Models, it’s one of my biggest BJSC regrets not sending it as it’s grown into a real fave.

the POPHub link is to the wrong song (goes to my entry actually 😅)

hype to that though, I nearly considered it for 180 but then heard Jerry Heil 🥰

Well spotted, thankyou. Hopefully that's the only one!

Second time opening a semi for me. I see Metric back for a 6th time (I think Josh returned just after I sent 'Days Of Oblivion' for the last one!) Not too much else I recognise.

I’m not expecting anything at all for FLJ this contest. I do like the artist I’ve sent, but he’s very art and I’m not expecting that to translate too well. I almost didn’t submit anything when I realised I was almost out of time but I couldn’t bring myself to miss a Skall contest <3

I'm sure the modal Fljotavik entry is random entry chosen on a whim 20 minutes before the deadline into a stonker of a result, and this one sounds promising. You won the last time I hosted so maybe we'll find out if you are blessed in Skall!

May as well cut to the chase - when will the listenthroughs be?

I'm not around on Wednesday but if one has to go ahead then fine - although if that's too late for a Thursday deadline, does that mean Sunday evening for the non-Monday one?
