Qualifiers 9/20 POPHub Another one from POPHub's quality inspired pop drawer.

Qualifiers 8/20 Aeroche Would it be a final worth attending without Leww's Aeroche? No.

I had to triple check these votes as was very open mouthed at some of them.

Qualifiers 7/20 Ojnoj Another warm welcome back to the final, for RAYE's sister and Jonjo, with a suitably festive video.

DNQ 2/9 Deandria Sadly not to be for a second Estonian hit on the trot. Rather gutted as this was my own 10 pointer

DNQ 1/9 (these are in no particular order): Macromia

6/20 Flynnonda In the final once more, it's a rocking entry from Harry!

5/20 East Rukahavian They missed the final last month so hopefully this will make @Mack. feel better!

4/20 Dalisska Similarly, Dalisska waste no time getting back to the final! Well done on a triumphant return @Sabrewulf

3/20 Lentyll We've been a long time without @AllStarBySmashMouth but Lentyll are direct to the final!

2/20 Land of DW Doomed you say Frank? Respect the gabber!

1/20 Pagasa A 33% deduction - pah, water off a duck's back!

Still triple checking Semi 2 ha, so I will start with Semi 1. But first enjoy the two AQs: FSR Rontvia: Man/Woman/Chainsaw - Only Girl FARC: Snow Wife - YoYo

Just a note that I didn't receive any late Pagasa votes so unfortunately they are 33% down, you'll have to see whether that affects them. As we have extenuating circumstances known from New Lexico and Baleghde, there will be no deduction for those two non-voting countries in Semi 2.

Good evening! Thank you for voting since this time last week for your favourite songs across these two stacked semis. 20 songs from each semi will join FSR Rontvia and FARC in the final, and from around 7pm GMT I will reveal who has made it to the next stage. Until then...speculate!

Ok thanks all. We have the two non-voters in Semi 2 who we know about (New Lexico and Baleghde) and no Pagasa in Semi 1 unfortunately - dhwe if you vote before 6pm GMT I’m prepared to accept them with a 15% deduction otherwise it’s the full 33%. I also have an issue with one of the other votes in Semi 1 which I’m hoping can be rectified in time by the poster but am checking with the mods what to do if not. Hoping to host this evening from around 7.

Ok, just under an hour to go if you could send me your votes please Pagasa @dhwe and East Rukahavian @Mack. in Semi 1 and Aelandor in Semi 2 @Jacob- to avoid deductions.

Ok no problem, thanks for letting me know and hope things get easier for you soon!

Ciint Eastwood, a classic in both the original and Ed Case remix versions.

Mya, but DJ Pied Piper was a school break time classic.

Ok, I've input everything I have so far and there would certainly be some shocking results in there if things don't change. But I'm still awaiting 11 votes in Semi 1 and 10 in Semi 2, so they surely will. Support your faves, and vote by 2pm please or you'll get a third knocked off your score. Then join me tomorrow evening to find out who made it through (time TBC).

It's a nice compilation, one of the better ones from Now. I bought the CD when it came out and my friend recently gave me the vinyl as an early Christmas present.

Reminders time. You all have until 2pm GMT tomorrow. No votes will be accepted after this and 33% deductions will be applied. Semi 1: @jakee @Lindsey. @Jade @Colm @Mack. @J00prstar @Freeze @Miri @Calum @!!! @dhwe @Silas Semi 2: @jakee @dancember @awardinary @Klumzee @Harve @Chez Wombat @Roba. @RabbitFurCoat @*Tim @Jacob- @diva thin muffin @seven. @jimwatts @RobBot @Cody Piastri

I didn’t expect Alexa to be so generous. Big leap for Kylie this week compared to Tom Grennan on the same week last year.

I've finally voted too. Semi 1 was decent and I happily could have voted for 15 songs but only have one major commiseration. But Semi 2...yeah, even with the loss of what would have been my 12 pointer this was a bloodbath. 14 songs I really love and another 10 I enjoy a lot beyond that. Gutted to have to leave loads of those out.
