Missed opportunity for them to go for Lavender instead. Or maybe it was intentional so the sequels can be called Scarlet Envy & Ultra Violet.

My votes + your inbox = reunited at last

The starters are really cute, best in ages. The game looks exciting but dear god I hope there will be a massive quality upgrade to the graphics before release (but not holding much hope seeing how they consistently manage to bring PS2 graphics to their games like they did in PLA and SWSH).

According to someone who's gone and translated this IG story on Reddit, Jamala has reached Romania with her two children on foot while her husband had to stay behind to fight. A comment under the post showed how surreal this is: "2 weeks ago she was a judge in Vidbir, now she's a refugee." This stings. '1944' is just an absolute gutpunch to listen to now (as if it wasn't heartbreaking already) :(

Y’all are missing GusGus and Vök covering Is It True. Truly a moment.

Interesting that none of UK/USA/Australia were uncovered :o

i thought covers of massive hits & modern classics weren't allowed B-)

Not getting my hopes up about the pop block coming together after the abysmal pop support in recent contests but hopefully Ylona can do relatively well bc Entertain Me is a god damn bop Excited to check out the competition. Already know a handful of songs (Yehesi, Altyr) and some artists I like (Hendinia, Bellamia, Singerpurear) so will be excited to check them out. Especially Pure Shores as I am absolutely obsessed with their 141 entry still.

Is 18 still free? If so I’ll take that pls ^_^

Most surprising qualifier: Sam Bluer - Body High Most surprising DNQ: honestly any one of Klangkarussell, Hayley Kiyoko and Kilian & Jo Also Sovarasma’s DNQ for BATHSHEBA. Wtf was that mess?

I plan on going back to my basic pop hoe roots 💕

Reminder that Ivana Spagna gave us this classic *.* ofaaz9uGPu4

Burak Yeter Ivana Spagna :o

Unsure if this link works outside of Iceland but here is the song reveal show, bound to be cringe as always :lol:

The artists of this year's Söngvakeppnin have been revealed, with the songs revealed on the website Eurovision Fun. There's 9 artists performing 10 songs. As the artists and songs are being leaked it's not clear who is singing each song but I can already tell that "Volcano" is Haffi Haff, 99% sure "Turn This Around" is Reykjavíkurdætur, "Keep It Cool" is Suncity & Sanna, I think "Heart of Mine" is Stefanía and "All I Know" is probably Stefán Óli (by power of deduction lol). Other than that I'm not entirely sure although I have some suspicions. I don't know most of these names outside of Haffi Haff, Suncity, Reykjavíkurdætur & Stefanía. (I actually know both Haffi & Suncity personally as well as a member of Reykjavíkurdætur so obviously rooting for them). Not sure on the quality of the songs yet, guess it will depend on the staging. Keep It Cool is an instant stand out for me but none of them scream winner potential to me. Listen to the songs here THE ARTISTS 1. Haffi Haff 2. Hanna Mia & The Astrotourists 3. Suncity & Sanna 4. Katla 5. Markéta Irglová 6. Reykjavíkurdætur 7. Stefán Óli 8. Stefanía Svavarsdottir 9. Amarosis THE SONGS 1. Gía / Volcano 2. Séns með þér / Gemini 3. Þaðan af / Then Again 4. Mögulegt / Possible 5. Tökum af stað / Turn This Around 6. Ljósið / All I Know 7. Hjartað mitt / Heart of Mine 8. Með hækkandi sól (no English version) 9. Hækkum í botn / Keep It Cool 10. Don't You Know (same title both in Icelandic & English)

Honestly, I voted a bit too early. Would have been my 18pts now, absolutely in love with this. So count an imaginary 3 points to your score for me if you want (not that it changes the results at all but still) :wub:

I had no idea they were sampling September here so I was SO excited when I spotted it almost instantly. I love this, had no expectations so can't really be disappointed :lol:

Congrats Leww on a massive 14th(?) win and thanks everyone who voted for me :wub: Semi Final One Semi Final Two

I was just about to let you know! I’ll delete the message and won’t read it since I’m not hosting this round!

YESS!! at Promising Young Woman coming top 2!! It's seriously one of my fav movies of all time and I think the twist was so shocking we were honestly all still shook days after watching the movie that they actually did THAT. Spider Man was amazing as well so I can fully understand it winning (and was kind of expecting it as I know you're a big MCU fan). It was a great theater experience even if I had already had those GASP! moments spoiled to me prior by accident lol. Shang-Chi was great and Simu Liu is just :wub: :wub: although it was a bit silly to me but tbh it was just a Marvel movie through and through. :lol: Raya was gorgeous & easily my fav animated feature of the year. Absolutely stunning. Interesting to see Awkwafina warm two spots in your top 5 :lol:

Ahh, fudge. NocheLuna messaged me informing me that there was a mistake with their votes as they did not actually give their 12 points to POPhub & 10 points to Pagasa (but instead 1 point and 2 points respectively). I took a look at it and seems I accidentally put their votes in the wrong order (so their 12 pointer became a 1-pointer, their 10-pointer became a 2-pointer, etc). I was devastated when I realised this, but THANKFULLY this does not change the qualifiers and they indeed stay the same. However, this change in points does mean the non-qualifiers end up in a little different order. Fljótavík & Utopia stay 21st & 22nd Dobago is now 23rd (instead of 25th) POPhub is now 24th (instead of 23rd) Pukarnia is now 25th (instead of 26th) Pagasa is now 26th (instead of 24th) and Taahino & Flynnonda stay 27th & 28th. I'm so sorry for this mistake, but so relieved that the finalists didn't change.

For the curious. The answers to these hints below:

ANYWAYS, that's the end of my journey as your host and now I join you as a simple participant in the final! I hope you enjoyed the semis in my care. As always I had a lot of fun and I'm happy you all voted me through so I've still managed to avoid announcing my own non-qualification thankfully lol. Have not listened to the songs of semi 2 yet but sad to lose New Lexico, Jadakissnia and Bøtanikka. Excited to delve into the final! Tomorrow, Wouter will take over and post the final thread. I expect voting will be open until 31st as we discussed in the semi thread but I expect he'll let you know if that changes when the thread is posted. If anyone's already made up their minds I don't think there's anything to stop you from sending your votes directly to WoW73 now, just don't send them to me as I'm not the host of the final! ^_^ Anyways, here's the spreadsheets of the DNQ's for the interested, even though all this info was already presented in the thread: semi one semi two
