My memory doesn't go back 3 months

I am seated for The Spodic Empire lore, a nation too iconic I thought they had been around for years 🖤

Fixed it x Manifest away 🖤

It’s worse than I thought. Spod inviting everyone for a European cruising sesh The Spodic Empire | Squarepusher ‘Welcome To Europe’ Daehun | KiiiKiii ‘Pop Off Pop Off’ Land of DW | Jippu ‘GAY’ N DNTN | IVE ‘BANG BANG’ Ennea | Kalandra ‘Let Me Be Open’ FSR Rontvia | Modern English ‘I Melt With You’

Huge banger alert from the country with the longest streak in BJSC

Oh Didn’t even notice, but I just saw gay bang bang x

Why can’t you be next to Lookylion? 👀 I rigged it so we have a superior song between us making us look bad x

I’m sure someone has the statistics on this, but the ideal spot for me would be between 6-11 and 31-36 Obviously it doesn’t matter if your song slaps though x

I asked my accountant for spreadsheet templates after my disastrous attempts last year. It’s about as automated as it gets for a non-spreadsheet lover, and making a difference (so far). I’ll share them at the end of the contest for any future hosts who are equally terrible with numbers 🖤 Explaining how it’s basically fantasy football but Eurovision was a ki 😭

Not for me either Work your magic pls 🪄

Good catch! I was transferring the songs from the two semi playlists and everything was getting into a muddle. The Youtube playlist might have some errors too, I'll check x Not happy being the final song, that is never a good omen karma

Final will be up in the morning 🖤 Congrats to all the qualifiers, and to everyone that contributed throughout. Hopefully you could see the vibe I was going for! I did move things around for a dramatic finale, it wouldn't feel right not giving two of the biggest icons of BJSC a proper moment at the end there. I still can't really believe it tbh x
