We have our first set of votes which means someone is officially in the lead

It would be great if voters could use the template below, and if not, just mention your nation name at the beginning of the message. It’s massively helpful 🖤

I assume this is to make it easier for you to import the votes...

In which case, 7-1 pointers all on the same line? Or is separate lines good too?

I know I'm not participating but I couldn't help myself, I just love it when the running order tells such a vivid story

Oops I missed this last night, mind you, my track is pretty memorable third from bottom.

It sure is.

Is semi 2 session happening tonight?!!!

Hopefully 🖤

SF2 is basically a festival lineup of the best of alt bloc, can't miss it

Not sure if Jim was offering to also host tonight, I can do it if not x

WOW, completely f***ed with this semi draw, I'd be shocked if my entry got 20 points from the semi 2 voters.

I knew that this one might be a DNQ, but this is just f***ing cruel.

I hope some of the schlager-ish eurovision-y popgirlies (obviously from the other semi, as they are all there) will listen to my entry, even if when it DNQs, as it's actually a banger.

Just heard this and it is surely not a DNQ, Erika Vikman vibes and her entries managed fair crossover outside the pop bloc iirc.

A brilliantly produced pop song with a great melody and personality like this should sail through regardless of draw.

I agree with blacksquare, we will not see 20 alt qualifiers here, the pop is too strong to deny.

Yeah I wasn't offering to host SF2, I just thought tonight would be the more likely time you could host it if I took SF1 yesterday.

Back to my room it is then 😎

https://sync-tube.de/room/ApAM3t-I

From 8pm ish (probably later than Jim started) x

I have so much of semi 2 as a consideration to listen again and formulate votes from.

all the different types of alternative music are going to be really really hard to rank!

It's going to be tough.

Some great stuff will NQ

the type of semi where it feels like everyone should be going door to door and handing out pamphlets on why they should be given points ... see y'all on the campaign trail

I wasn't expecting the British men talking over electronic beats genre to stretch to back-of-the-bus bassline outside Spar this month, what a semi x

vote for wednesday or else...

but in all seriousness will be very grateful to see a pretty shoegaze track go through x

As the October nights draw in you find yourself drawn to the wonder of the night sky.

If only you could find the perfect ambient song to watch it…
