East Rukahavian casually becoming enviably consistent qualifiers though!

First time I'm in the fabled death slot, and after being first to play in the semi!

Just now, blacksquare said:

Oh gosh THANKYOU / how could I have forgotten?!

Any other iconic visual reactions to my text blocks and YouTube embeds are welcome, including to the next 3:

5. Bøtanikkä // Natalie Jane - dance til i die

6. Taahino // Stand Atlantic - LUCID

7. République d'Áskorza // Ambre Vallet - Ambre

Another full set of SF2. I believe that these had 100% predictions between them!

We've exhausted most of my faves from SF2 already 🤣

I hope I can join them, but I'm NERVOUS

Another strong set there! 6/20 from SF2 already announced eeeeeeek!

Next 3:

8. FSR Rontvia // HENGE - Mushroom One

9. Neliönoir // Sophia Stel - Molly In The Club

And with 8 SF2 qualifiers in a row, I really did have to stop and check that this had indeed randomised correctly, or worse hadn't somehow inadvertently revealed the result. I can confirm that neither is true as we do finally have our first SF1 qualifier now:

10. Terra Avium // The Haunted Youth - falling to pieces

Congrats to all!

That is a lot of SF2 to kick off the final! (Either side of an AQ)

The perfect start to SF1 *.

Yay thanks everyone <3

Also big congrats to Taahino and D’Askorza

Hurrah, Rontvia's DNQ streak over!

Oh good I’m feeling nervous

This is gonna be a very "songs I love in the first half" final, at this rate 😱

Yay at Rontvia Q!

Yasss HENGE (2 other gooduns there as well! I had forgotten until it was mentioned at the listenthrough that The Haunted Youth won Nuggets oops, this is a better song than the one that won for them imo, am sure it should do well too).

Rontvia shining a beacon of hope on BJSC!

So happy Rontvia is back in the finals

That Nelly song <3

Both essentials

welcome back to the contest Rontvia

Thank you all so much! ❤️

So happy to be part of it again.

Some great Semi 2 highs in already.

11. Elëdan // Roly Porter - An Open Door

12. Kluminican Republic // Alewya - Maktoub

I’ve got a bad feeling here!
