"Canto d'amore" by Angelina Mango ft. Marco Mengoni won. "Run Rabbit" by Mollie Elizabeth was in 2nd.

If I remember I think Run Rabbit was entered in BJSC at some point? I think...

Ah thank you! Indeed that song was entered here and came 38th so I'll take it all with a pinch of salt

Things I've already mentioned about my entry, collated:

• Estonian artists & lyrics

• My shortest ever entry, among the shortest ever in BJSC (ish)

• About scrolling on your phone too much

• Music video has a lot of green

• Has a mix of male and female vocals

• I may even have forgotten something

Not familiar with any of the songs/artists in my semi but SF2 has some familiar names. Chloe Qisha seems to pop up every so often and great to see Maisi and the Disco make their debut. I was going to send her last month (with a different track) but got cold feet in the end. Intrigued to see how this song compares to it.

Can an expert inform us which is the pop semi (if there is one)?

Yes, 'Run Rabbit' was in BJSC 187 (where Dalisska was absent).

Links for the semi 1 countries added! I will be adding national flags eventually too🤩

Could anyone help provide some playlists at some point?😁

A fun and surprising stat for this contest (that I was holding off on acknowledging in case any of the vetoed nations withdrew)...

Every single country that appeared in BJSC 189 is also in this contest - and that's only the second time that has ever happened, with the one previous time being BJSCs 6 & 7 (!!!)

It's fairly commonplace for there to be contests where every eligible country from the previous contest enters again, but that has somehow never coincided with the less common occurrence of a contest that has no banned countries between BJSC 7 and now.

Wonderful to end the year with matching my Q record of 8 entries! And just the one DNQ in a whole ten contests is a record for me (my last one in 2019, I only took part in 9/10 of the contests), now the hard part of slogging through 65 other songs (I kid, I'm sure they'll be great xx)

This song was played on Emily Pilbeam's early morning 6Music show, the same as where I found my Unknown Pleasures winner PISS, so let's hope that gives good fortune x I can't believe how under the radar this is and it's <1000 views, it's got a great Crystal Castles-esque witchy sound.

Lovely to see former Terra Avium artists Hiatus here, Precious Little is one of my all time favourite of my entries <3 That was a fairly rare piano instrumental from him when the rest of his work is more electronic so intrigued to see how this is, also guessing yeule will sound quite different to my one, always find her a very exciting artist though.

Oh I considered this for BJSC a few months back and think it would have done well. It's a summer song for me though so doesn't feel quite right to send now.

Links added for semi 2 as well!

Let me know if any of them are wrong or don't work or if there is anything else I should edit😊

Oop I meant to give a heads up before you made these but Julian included a Spotify link in his submission and it's a different version to the one you included ~

Should be this one:

Will knock together some YouTube playlists in a bit (and check the links in the OP are all working) x

Where the f*** are my K-Pop girlies this month? It's an asian DROUGHT (bar me of course).

I shall be on full force voting for Pop, Pop and MORE POP this month.

Omg I was sure I was going to get vetoed this month and was checking about 15 times every day to see if the announcement that Myriad Reflector had been vetoed had been posted yet lol

I don't remember the last time I saw so many entries I had considered or know already

Really struggled choosing something I was happy with this month, which is rarely a good sign, so just went back to the song that I was blasting all summer (and since then tbh)

Pop bloc don't let me down. Offering you a chorus x

Same lol.

Paradiso Nights and this were on my shortlist at the same time, but obviously an idea that never came to fruition!!!

I was deeply concerned for a moment!!!

Cheiron and Herbilore coming thru with Jupiterdonia recycles!
