With a lot of strong pop songs getting dumped in the semis I think you may be right. I can totally see either New Lexico or UVL taking the crown this month!

In the past month I've found a few great songs from previous ESC artists! Wrabel featuring Duncan Laurence - "Back to Back" (Dutch ESC 2019 Winner) qfLQUnq91_Y Dotter - "Jealous" (Swedish 2018, 2020-2021 NF Artist) IKPO0WOpVgE SYLVE featuring Julia Alfrida - "Legacy" (Swedish 2021 NF Artist) Kx6s6LrBk-A Samuel and Francesca Michielin - "Cinema" (Italian ESC 2016 Artist) aAAnWl-aO5g SICKOTOY featuring Elvana Gjata and INNA - "Papa" (Albanian 2004, 2020 NF Artist) F4t--TUH0Iw Jógvan and Friðrik Ómar - "Stígum Villtan Dans" (Icelandic ESC 2008 Artist) VagSXgX6tJE

Why am I getting "We Like To Party" vibes from the chorus instrumental of "I am not a woman, I'm a god"? lmao.

Wth are these Guardian people smoking? Sure, it's nothing groundbreaking but it's at least a 3/5 for a casual listener. For me however it's already shaping up to be a 5/5 :wub: so many great songs and that new Topic single is amazing!

Umm.. what? Is this real criticism because it honestly sounds like satire :lol: People can't actually be mad that she's happy??

Personally I think it would be a bit unfair to allow songs that have been eliminated since now we know who voted for them and also a bit about who would have voted for them which gives them an advantage (people might give them higher scores than otherwise since they know how poorly they performed in the semi). Also I'd probably be a bit miffed personally seeing as I was only 1 point off from 20th place lol. But I am 100% for making it a solid 20 Q's for every contest from here on out.

Thanks for the 12 pts Dan :heart:

[ my sf1 votes ] 12: QUALIFIED 10: QUALIFIED 08: QUALIFIED 07: QUALIFIED 06: Altyr Muunilinst ~ Julie Bergan “We're Coming Up” 05: République d'Áskorza ~ Sofía Martín & le Shuuk “Tóxica” 04: QUALIFIED 03: QUALIFIED 02: The Actual Republic of Bellamia ~ Claire Rosinkranz “Frankenstein” 01: QUALIFIED I think I voted too early and actually wish I had voted later in the week because by now RDÁ has become my third fave of the bunch. Although 8 pts instead of 5 seemingly wouldn't have changed the results it still deserved my bronze :( Sad to see that I didn't qualify but I was somewhat expecting it. Whenever I go dance I seem to fail to impress my trusty pophoe voting block :lol: [ my would-be sf2 votes ] 12: Sovarasma ~ BATHSHEBA “Fighting For Your Love” 10: QUALIFIED 08: Hushkanukia ~ Rebecca Ferguson ft. Nile Rodgers “No Words Needed” 07: QUALIFIED 06: QUALIFIED 05: QUALIFIED 04: Greenfroze ~ Brynn Elliott “Tell Me I'm Pretty” 03: QUALIFIED 02: QUALIFIED 01: QUALIFIED

Sad to see Hushkanukia DNQ :( Out of these two I hope to see Zanmatony. Gave me a bit of a Toy Box vibe lol.

Only one of these five will qualify? Hushkanukia pls

Still missing two of my favourites as well as my own entry. I'm not sure this final will be to my taste :(

I'm gutted. One of my instant faves of this month! Would have been an easy 12 for me.

WHAT @ SOVARASMA Legit my favourite discovery of semi 2.

Omg I forgot there's only 18 songs qualifying from each semi. I'm doomed lol.

If I'm 22nd or 21st again I'm gonna cry

My hopes:

Happy to see Varakë, Aeroche, UVL, Aelandor & #00274E all qualify!

Exciting!

My early wild prediction is New Lexico taking the crown this month.

Happy to hear it’s of use to someone! That’s precisely why I decided to share it :D To save people from having to scroll for 16 minutes on page 1 here is the quoted post:

I made a searchable sheet with all the songs of BJSC (1 through 137) to help myself look through what songs/artists have been entered, country history etc and thought I'd share it here in case anyone else wants to use it. I also have a second sheet in there where all the countries are listed with some stats. I made a pts system where qualified countries get points based on how many songs are in the final and in the second sheet they're all ranked by total pts with some extra stats. FYI Anyone can view and leave a comment but I'm the only one who can update the sheet :) If anyone spots any countries in the country list that are listed twice (under two or more different names) pls let me know. I've got no idea which countries have changed names in the past. > Link Here < ( To use the filter feature press the icon in the top left corner and choose Create New Temporary Filter )

Hopefully a good position for me, but either way I'm excited about this semi. Some songs & artists I know about already including a current top 10 hit for me that I considered for this month but happy to see it here!

Omg I loved this! I'm a stats nerd so I love seeing these and somewhat surprised to see how good mine are but then again I've only participated 17 times so doesn't take much to mess these stats up :lol: Very excited to delve into the songs but again great job DB :heart:
