Hope it’s good - I’m hosting a film screening of it next week

As per normal and after a few listens of my semi final - literally have no idea….

One thing I find fascinating about Italy’s success is that for a contest that celebrates individuality and is very popular with the queer community, Italy as a country is quite conservative.

It does feel really unfair that every year Germany and Uk get destroyed by the public vote, yet Italy seem to benefit. Sometimes they have sent great songs but I cannot find much in this years song I’d go as far as to say the three countries could send the same songs, sung in the same way and Italy would still get a three figure score, with the other two getting nout

I want a certain winner for sentimental reasons Dynamite to go

Justice for Estonia (but still get them vocal lessons)

FFS so my personal fave Estonia would have qualified over Sweden and Belgium (Comfortably) on a public vote! This is why you need competent singers….

Was the hype a poisoned chalice? I never saw the hype myself but I can see why people like it I did like the Sweden song but I'm kind of glad it underperformed. I just wish Italy had underperformed as well

Was behind by over an hour so kept off of here. Shame Delta didn't win the jury vote - but what a great public vote for her Bulgaria coming out of nowhere is an amazing story - but two years in a row where the contest has been saved..... And I am not surprised Finland did a Sweden

Oooh some good choices here - and I do like the David Sneddon song Gone with Leon Jackson

Out of My Hands (the album both tracks are from) is a cracking album Also features the single 'I Choose Life', a cover of a Celine Dion song

Fingers crossed - yeah it's kind of gone under the radar for her!

100%. I'd never leave. the vehicle.....

She is underrated! Well for the 1 and a half albums she released

BJSC 185 - Meg Smith Well, after Loren Kramar was done dirty, we'd considered dropping out of BJSC again. But through listening to some random tracks, a certain pop infused bop by Meg Smith (an artist Herbilore have previously voted for) took our fancy. And so we present to you, 'Carlos, Get In The Car'. The song is epic, the video is epic. Those vocals in the chorus are everything. We love it anyway. We hope you enjoy :) Final Position: 19th in SF1, 28th in Grand Final Points scored: 48 in SF1, 136 in Grand Final Thanks for the following nations who gave us points: Semi Final: 12pts Ojonj 8pts Greenfroze 6pts Lookylion 6pts Cor Lupus 4pts Juranabaijan 3pts Hendinia 3pts Trifoski 3pts Republique d'Askorza 1pt Mothertopia 1pt Dalisska 1pt Nelionoir Final: 18pts Ojnoj 18pts New Lexico 15pts Taahino 13pts Greenfroze 12pts Altyr Muunilist 11pts FSR Rontvia 11pts Baleghde 8pts Ennea 7pts Cheiron 6pts Cor Lupus 5pts Lookylion 3pts Hendinia 3pts Zanmatony 2pts Juranabaijan 1pt Ajanaeda 1pt Trifoski 1pt Republique d'Askorza 1pt Lotunia

Oooh I almost considered entering another artist in my semi final!

I actually own albums by 8 of the artists in this list. I could be anyone! Or none of those!

That is a beauty of a song

Oh is that who you thought I was?

Adore this song and it was released at a time when I needed break up songs So thrilled to see it get a resurgence

Ooooh there are some solid choices there. I adore one of the songs near the bottom - but I won’t say which as I expect people will think I sent it!

Surely it all depends on how much Delta can win the jury vote by. But at least Finland or Australia should prevent an awful win for Israel

I’m debating whether I should have submitted now - but I’m trying to be stubborn and lock myself in to do a round 10 contests

Odds checker immediately has Delta as 2nd fave to win now

I still do not understand how Denmark is so high in the odds. Good performance but I find the song forgettable
