Omg Juranabaijan 188 🎉

(Which I would definitely have to pass on hosting in the extremely unlikely event I finish in the Top 10*, as I am away for a fair chunk of next month, I might be able to just about squeeze participating)

* I haven't listened to any of the other songs aside from what I already knew yet, but even I know that if by some miracle South Arcade qualify, there's zero chance I'm winning. Opening BETJURAN odds: 750/1 Juranabaijan x

30. Persephonia // Child's View - Pendulum

Most likely successes from this semi: Fljotavik, Lentyll, Ojnoj, Kathaldazia, N DNTN

Hesitated the most on: Ennea, Pagasa, Herbilore

I think I would’ve qualified if I were in the second semi. As it is, I’ve prepared myself for another elimination. Which is sad because personally, I really don’t think it’s anywhere near the bottom 9 in terms of quality

Genuinely surprised to be listed there Rob!

I really like my entry this month, but it’s quite quirky and I thought it was quite a risk. On the plus side, it doesn’t sound like the other songs in the semi. On the negative side, it’s not a buzzjack friendly genre.

That was my thought process - whether to my taste or not, I thought it was one that stood out the most and would probably galvanise high points for that reason?

I often find it harder to predict, as I’ve said before, with less mainstream sounding songs as to what is going to connect with that crowd because I’m kinda far removed from it so apologies if I’m wrong 😂

I found this semi very tough to predict tbh, I only felt confident about… maybe 3 of the songs I said wouldn’t make it. It’s a real mixed bag to know what’s going to connect and what will fall through the net.

Since I've not listened to SF1 or the AQ's yet... I present to you:

BETJURAN lite | Semi Final Two

Bronzil | Isabel LaRosa - Her Face
Greenfroze | 杏里 - 悲しみがとまらない I CAN’T STOP THE LONELINESS
Bøtanikkä | Natalie Jane - dance til i die
Jadakissnia | тлен - Пътник
Kluminican Republic | Alewya - Maktoub
Flynnonda | In Color - High
Aeroche | EV - Thierry Henry [Modeā Remix]
Deandria | Collide - Freak Like Me
Lookylion | Ellee Duke - Adrenaline
Baleghde | Sorana - Happy Birthday Sadness
République d’Áskorza | Ambre Vallet - Ambre
Taahino | Stand Atlantic - LUCID
Ajanaeda | Metric - As If You’re Here
FSR Rontvia | HENGE - Mushroom One
Ben’s Sanctuary | almost monday - no more regrets
Zephyra Continuum | atmos bloom - It’s Enough
Séyetana | Portraits Of Tracy - Caught In A Jam
Sovarasma | Shye - Smoke
Freidland | Lena Leon - Chemical
Cheiron | Hiqpy - Youman
Pestolia | tsubi club - ( ╥﹏╥ )
Land of DW | RMB - Experience (Follow Me)
East Rukahavian | Chayla Hope - Love In Lo-Fi
Lotunia | Jenna Raine - Roses
Neliönoir | Sophia Stel - Molly In The Club
The Spodic Empire | waist - bravado
Zanmatony | Black Mighty Orchestra - Ocean Beach [Cybophonia Cinematic Remix]
Juranabaijan | South Arcade - Supermodels
Yehesi | Mollie Elizabeth - Run Rabbit
Dobago | Villalobos - Fizheuer Zieheuer

I was much less sure on most of these. I think quite a few of them have the potential to get lost in the crowd (based on comments I've seen, and my own listening), so this semi feels like a real lottery!

If I get a chance to listen to the rest over the course of the next day, I'll provide the usual full odds and SF1 predictions!
