If you don’t have anything green, you are welcome to make something green or even take a picture of some grass or a tree outside and send me that.

1 hour ago1 hr Author Snatching this post just in case. Oh God, I hope I've done everything right. Let me know if I have forgotten anything. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by Freeze
1 hour ago1 hr Well that's not song I expected, but the artist prediction was it!'You First' is one of my favourites off This Is Why! I hope it does really well!
1 hour ago1 hr Very interested to see how Cherry Bomb does here - especially as I would 100% have sent her again if I thought it was worth trying to run the veto gauntlet for a third rime.

This one and 'Digital Girl' didn't leave as much of an impression, but I guess this is its chance to grow! (If it makes it out of the semi, obv)
1 hour ago1 hr Author 2 minutes ago, AllStarBySmashMouth said:Why am I not in the allies of green semi?I mean Au/Ra has green hair. xoAn explanation has now been provided in the opening post😜🤪
1 hour ago1 hr Opening the semi I previously mentioned that my artist opened for a Jadakissnia alumnus and that was Twin Tribes! So once again relevant after they just turned up in Unknown Pleasures 🤩 I've unexpectedly book-ended my year with Twin Tribes opening acts as TRAITRS were also the same... I swear I wasn't intentionally mining from their support acts, just the same coincidence twice! One further connection that I've since discovered post-submitting 'All We Know of Heaven' is that a member of Nuovo Testamento co-produced this song *.*Anyway, I'm hoping this might be a bit of a crossover moment for us (at least more than usual) as it has a big synth-pop sound but also with dark, alt appeal - one YouTube comment said it's like a synth-pop version of The Blue Nile, which I can hear. The music video seems inspired by 'Once In A Lifetime' by Talking Heads too, so some strong references. Here's hoping to bounce back from last month's DNQ with a landmark 100th qualifier 🙏Elsewhere in my semi... I remember thinking 'You First' was a highlight on This Is Why so Taahino are definitely going out on a high <3 Aeroche's Krystal Klear entry is an absolute banger as well, I actually wondered if that would turn up in the contest at some point. Oops at being separated from POPHub when Callum said his song was Jadakissnia coded, intrigued to hear it anyway. I do already like The Spodic Empire's fellow self confessed attempt at trying to nab my top points though *.* otherwise, I know some other names but not sure about songs, plenty to discover.Excited to see the green items!
1 hour ago1 hr Ok Jupiter, I see you sending one of my favourite songs of 2026 <3. I've considered sending 'Two Steps Away' myself for the longest time, but it's one of those songs I just love listening to whenever I want, without having to put it through the competition mill!!!On a more personal note, I was struggling quite a bit this round, and I partly blame the YTD pressure. It got to the point where I genuinely considered withdrawing and just living my life in peace lol.Then Boys Noize came along and it was love at first listen, but I knew the chances of it getting vetoed were pretty high!!!But honestly, I'm truly happy I got to send GusGus. Cheap, I know, and I'm fully aware of it, but it's currently sitting at #3 on my personal chart <3. I'm just happy to have an entry this round that I can fully get behind, regardless of whether it flops or not!!!
1 hour ago1 hr Wow at some of these names! A couple of Rontvian recycles there in Jude York and Ider too.I had heard the Cor Lupus song and wondered if somebody would send it, very catchy.Honoured to be closing the semi, hope it provides an out of body experience.
1 hour ago1 hr Good luck to Jadakissnia! Dalisska actually sent it NSC and came 3rd with the song.I wonder if I'll regret not sending it here. 😅
1 hour ago1 hr I'm not saying I think I'm through or ANYTHING of the sort but...cries at the sight of names like Altyr Muunilinst, Cor Lupus, Ojnoj, Mothertopia and Daehun being in the same semi as me
1 hour ago1 hr You First is genuinely one of my all time favourite Paramore songs, it's such an underrated track and I figured it would probably be a discovery for most (as far as a Paramore song could be anyway 😅) since it's an album track from their most recent release (which is still 3 years old 💔) but yea it's super instant, the guitar intro, the dark bass, the lyrics, the key change - I feel like it has everything that makes a great Paramore song so I really hope it's enjoyed!
1 hour ago1 hr Also Summericia sending a trance classic <3...Love it love it and happy to be in the same semi <3.From the opposite semi, Grant Knoche is someone I follow as well (although I'm not entirely sure whether it's for his music or for him lol). I'm actually surprised he hasn't made his Pop Factor debut yet, considering he could very well be one of the series' favourite twinks!!!

Boo at us being separated (p.s. Bré has just reminded me that this is the 11th time I've opened a semi )Which two songs beat it out of curiosity?
1 hour ago1 hr Author I hope most of you are happy with your semi! As you can see from my explanation in the opening post, I have chosen a different, fun and on theme way to split the semis.I had the exact number that I needed too, haha😄 There had been too many countries in the past with green flags that don't participate anymore, though🙃
1 hour ago1 hr Just now, Jade said:No way!!! Boo at us being separated (p.s. Bré has just reminded me that this is the 11th time I've opened a semi )Which two songs beat it out of curiosity?"Canto d'amore" by Angelina Mango ft. Marco Mengoni won. "Run Rabbit" by Mollie Elizabeth was in 2nd.If I remember correctly I think Run Rabbit was entered in BJSC at some point? Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by Sabrewulf
