I will be sad if Klum DNQ with their best entry this year

Pestolia and Dobago need to pull through as well 🖤

The listenthrough reaction, as you’d probably expect for a song of its kind, wasn’t the most promising for Lookylion but it’s a banging pop song so I really hope it can slip its way through to the final.

By this point, sadly they will all DNQ, as we know my predictions are precisely 102% accurate x

No idea if it's possible to edit a quote into a post (what I just tried didn't work...), but I wasn't at the listenthrough so this is just purely my own impeccable perception!

I.e. I've chosen some I like and some I don't like as much to cater for all tastes! I notice the crowd is quite varied in this semi, we have a good chuck of pop voters and alt voters, but not a HUGE amount of outright pop bangers or especially alty-alt stuff (not that I'm really confident I've actually worked out what constitutes an alt song 🤣)... There were more guitars than I was expecting... A symptom of Greenfroze winning last month, perhaps(?), so it will be interesting to see where the votes go!

Mothertopia and New Lexico feel like the obvious huge hits, with Hendinia, POPHub, Bøtanikkä, and Summericia right behind them. Expecting big support for Danæviia too

Really interesting tracks from New Helvetica, Sovarasma and Scotland 2 (as always), and I could see support for them. It all really depends on the vote split. I am terrible at predicting pop bloc voters so I could be completely off x

YAY 1 prediction to go through

'Fries' would be a good name for a BJSC country. Sounds Germanic.

I was on a flight to Hawaii so I couldn’t make the listenthrough, how did my entry go down?

My first DNQ prediction coming from Jurbet is kinda assuring, they are never right anyway x

Oops 2 DNQ predictions isn’t great, really wasn’t sure about this entry, time will tell

I forgot how much you dread seeing DNQ predictions in this… 😂
