In the efforts to create some additional DRAMA, I shall only be revealing the counties that have made the final. All DNQ's for each semi will be revealed at the end.

CXLIX ⊕ Lookylion x Altyr Muunilinst ⊕ The Semi Final - Results I will be revealing the semi final results later this evening, from around 7pm. We ended up with 4 non-voters: Semi 1: Eledan, Wholune Semi 2: New Lexico, Flynnonda As is customary with Altyr hosted events, there will be no fanfare or additional pomp. The results speak for themselves.

Looks like we have 4 non-voters at this stage (including New Lexico). I will accept votes up until midday (minus 15%).

I do indeed have them

Just a reminder to everyone the deadline for voting is tonight, as of right now: 15/32 nations have voted in Semi 1 21/32 nations have voted in Semi 2

I think it’s my song, which I picked solely on the basis of Bones = Skeletons = Halloween.

This album is wonderful, it’s no Emotion (WHAT IS?) but it’s on par with Dedicated for me and it’s all elevated by her vocals. A few weak links (Joshua Tree and it’s non-chorus being the prime example) but better than almost any other new album I’ve listened to in 2022.

Interested to see how Young does, I confirmed it last month but switched to Alma at the last minute.
