I had 2 potentials and I really wasn't sure which one to go with... then I found out that one of the acts is actually from my adopted home town! You mean Spotify is spying on me?? She could NEVAH. (I found both in my Discover Weekly, so no NMF offering this month I'm afraid.) Anyway, love this song, definitely something that I've never sent before. Hope it will click with this Very-Western-European-Audience 🤞🤞 Edit: annnd, she might be using AI, fcuk my life. I'll look into it before the deadline passes. (The song is def. not AI as it is, but... ehh, I hate this timeline.) Edit 2: annnd I reconfirmed to my other potential.

Congrats Leww + thanks for the great hosting Callum, amazing theme! In the end, my revised votes didn't make a difference - Ennightmare got 2 points less, but luckily they didn't need these points for the great result! These are my revised votes, after a proper consideration on Friday 😅 12 (--) Konoha | Weird Genius (feat. Pepita) - Catalyst. 10 (--) Corpse Lupus | Her blood & Stirling - cut/here 08 (+1) Dobaghost | Juche - eNight 07 (-1) POPHex | Patriarchy - Lilylicker 06 (--) Gothfroze | Gothminister - The Spell (feat. Thomas Jenssen) 05 (--) FSR Hauntvia | Beast In Black - Fear The Beast 04 (--) Ghøstanikkä | Space Frog - X-Ray (Follow Me) (feat. The Grim Reaper) 03 (--) Rolloweenland | Thomas Dolby - The Devil Is An Englishman 02 (+2) Ennightmare | Anastasia Rydlevskaya - Dance On My Own 01 (-1) Malevolentyll | Akira Yamaoka - Silent Scream (feat. Mary Elizabeth McGlynn)

I didn't give points to either, but I should've, that's why I'm sweating a bit (2 points only, but still)

Ooof, I hope the two are not super close...

Wow, I didn't expect much, but bottom 5 is absolutely garbage. Oh well, 'Dunkelheit' and ENGST in general was a great discovery, at least for me (I found it for another contest, where it finished middle of the pack). My top 4 are not yet revealed, hope they will all have a decent result!

There's no bad choice, really, I would vote for most of these songs - the ones that instantly landed on my playlist (hehe): Putri Arini - Wake My Soul - but I agree with Nine - it might have the cross-appeal, but I can't see it as an alt fave In Inertia - What Remains Is Beautiful - this is amazing and I'm sure it would do well Filsummer - Bubuka - this should do well too, maybe not as instant as In Inertia?

Sat down to read the whole thread properly as finally I know what my green thing will be! 💚 I'll need to make the picture in the dark, so I hope my phone can handle the challenge. LOVE 'Pretty Green' btw - I don't even think that I gave it super high points, but I randomly keep going back to it to this day. A Cadelicia classic. Edit: I even found a picture with the friend I got the green thing from and we're both wearing green, HA!

I did a proper last listenthrough, my final votes are actually pretty close to the ones I submitted (1 point more or less here and there, nothing major). Will be interesting to see if these points would make a difference in the final results (hope not).

Congrats Chez, absolutely well-deserved win and it was 100% time after so many years! Great hosting Matto, all went well in the end, despite the circumstances - I hope you'll have a smooth move this weekend and you'll have a nice and chill week coming up! While I didn't end up voting for the top 3, 4 of my votes finished in the top 10, including my 20, 'Ros Elavy' - what a great entry! ❤️ I'm super happy with 4th place for 'Travel Sex', thank you Everyone for the points! I heard a max 5-second snippet of it in a YouTube video about different genres, had to stop the video immediately and look for the song. Not my usual type of noise, but I grew to love it, not to mention that I always enjoy walking around and shopping while industrial noise is screming into my ears 😅 So, my journey in this alternative universe called UP continues! While in BJSC I managed to snatch altogether 1(!) top 20 finish in the past year (last month with 'Con Corazon') and no top 10s at all, here, my last 4 results are 8 - 4 - 3 - 4 with all 4 entries being super different from each other. Oh, and it was bonus fun submitting 'GAY' to bjsc and 'Travel Sex' here at the same time, pretty much the 2 ends of the spectrum when it comes to my taste.

Uff, I guess my draft is gonna be my final vote, rip growers 💔

Stay safe, that's the most important! <3 We'll be here any other day, not an issue at all.

I kinda wanna (politely ) steal a song that was vetoed in the previous contest - the link originally wasn't switched to the replacement entry, so I added the vetoed song to the YT playlist. I think it was Cody's? 100% banger, definitely needs to be sent somewhere. I'm not sure if/when I'd steal it, but I'll talk to the original 'owner' before. So yeah, let's not share the vetoes, pls 😅

Ah, missed the grand opening, but I'm quite hyped for this one! I can't make it to a listenthrough today, but I'll try my best to join if it's any other day.

Wow, love these stats, amazing job Nelly!! Congrats Greenfroze, great winner! To add a bit to the lore, 'Johnny Kitagawa' was originally low top 10 in my semi 1 ranking, it properly clicked with me only during the Final listenthrough and slowly moved up on my list from a projected 1-2 pointer to eventually getting 8 points. This song was the only real grower for me in 189, the rest of the entries stayed pretty much at the same place where I ranked them originally. Semi 2 was... wild, thanks Everyone pushing 'GAY' through! ❤️ Special shoutout to Séyetana, who gave the most points in the semi, single-handedly making the miracle happen + to Skall, whose 1 point turned out to be just as essential (and I would've put big money on them ranking Land of DW bottom 3, let alone giving us a point).

I'll take 29th - thanks Everyone voting for Jippu! ❤️

NO, I am the chief pop hoe!! (and I already voted xx) I don't have high expectations (or any, tbf), but I'm super happy that now the semi 1 peeps got to listen to this month's New Music Friday offering as well 😅 New Music Friday Suomi usually includes the songs from Vain elämää kausi every week, not everything's for me, but I've found a couple of bops in the past years.

Great final! Zephyra Continuum, Dalisska and New Lexico would've made my super strong top 15 even better!

Land of Demon Wolves submitted their debut entry! 🔥

Ehm... what? 😅 How? Riggory? I guess now I can win the whole thing. I'm ready. (Thanks Everyone! This proves that you can achieve anything with constant bitching! <3 ) Dalisska was my 10, great entry!

I'll go with 46/42, both will be pretty low.

It's okay, your entry will stand out, just as mine 🤣

Oh, it will stand out for sure, just noone will vote for it 😄

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.

Confirmed something... NOT Hungarian for a change

YESS Not sure what I'm sending yet but YESS
