Loving the St Burbia surge!

Whoops, spoke too soon there.

Just clinging onto the top 10, 9th would be lovely

I’m not even going to try and pinpoint a winner this time, it seems very wide open and the drip feed of stats makes it seem fairly tight at the top. I will, however, predict that I don’t see Alba being in contention.

Hopefully Semi 1 is better than Semi 2, because I had to go to some fairly low rated songs to fill up my votes.

On one hand the potential damage InLizWeTruss could wreak on the Tory party fills me with hope for the future, but on the other hand 2+ years of her particular brand of loony tunes “government” can only leave the country in a dire position. Not that Rishi Rich is any better, of course.

We have confirmed

I have an amazing entry lined up

It feels a LOT longer than it is, which is never a good sign. It’s not as bad as I had expected, but I don’t think I’d miss never hearing it again. It’s got all the DNA of great 90s house, but it feels overly diluted and boring.

I can’t say I missed this (more forgot about it, oops) but have submitted a late entry if you’re accepting them.

Very pleasing winner (and not least because I would have questioned all my choices if Rose had won)

Same but I thought it wasn’t as good as Save Your Tears, so didn’t bother

Yaaas an 18 - glad someone loves it as much as I do

Much as I love the hype express when it’s decked out in the Altyr colours, but SKAAR is not a smash. I think Hendinia is a good shout though, and overdue!

Sandwiched between my 2 favourite BJSC nations *.*

I have voted, not an amazing semi but a couple of great discoveries. I’ll be very disappointed if I don’t make it through, but feels like a lot of supporters might be in the other semi.

Nice to see some Q predictions for SKAAR - I’m not quite so confident as it seems a very a tight semi

I passed on Synchronicity as it didn’t sound as good as Save Your Tears, will be interesting to see how it does

Forgot how tense the “which semi am I in” reveal can be (when you don’t go super cheap)

I’m leaning to Scandipop for the first time in a while, found a very “Altyr” sounding song

I have absolutely nothing right now, other than a sense of relief at not having to host again

Shaking AND crying (and not at the abysmal winner)

Jesus that was tense - second to Ukraine is bittersweet but they were the ones to beat so

Well at least we didn’t have to wait to the last
