Alessandra and Atle are quite some distance in the lead with Ulrikke in a distant third.

Alessandra seems to be running away with the jury vote!

Tone and Loulou served! Twinkboy wasn't it and Elov & Benny feel like they might be dangerous!

Final being streamed live on YouTube here! GCODE6kFTY4

Ten years ago this would have been a pretty competitive entry but I think this is very likely to be outclassed in the first semi.

Fusa Nocta, Agoney, Alice Wonder and Megara made it through - definitely the four best entries out of these nine. Agoney looks to be in a strong position to take it following that televise performance.

Watching the semi final and I think Mi Familia might be the one (aside from the vocals eek)

Will humbly take my punishment of a one month ban - work commitment just got completely swamped this week/end.

Votes will have to be in late tomorrow I'm afraid but they will be in!

Maria really Janet Leon-ed herself from that performance. Looks like it'll be between Ulrikke, Alessandra and Jone for the win next week.

I think Vesna is the one to beat in this selection: @1619345942481895425

Screw y'all with something hard and sandpapery (tbh I thought this semi didn't have enough pophoetry in the ranks for my liking so can't say I'm surprised)

Robin and Lxandra don't quite measure up to the fabulousness of dark hypersexual queer Finnish electropop for me but both are good additions to the lineup. 42Lw_xtFnOk iLXwwZBet8A

That semi draw has left me feeling very attacked!

Final lineup for the final tomorrow night - all of these are on streaming. Ameerah - The Carnival Chérine - ca m'ennuie pas Gala Dragot - t'inquiete Gustaph - Because Of You Hunter Falls - Ooh La La Loredana - You Lift Me Up The Starlings - Rollercoaster Cherine is definitely the fan fave but I'm not sold on the Flemish public voting for a song in French enough to overcome the name power The Starlings will have over the others.

Benjamin's song is pure filth - love it! 1KvCeVU3vQ0

Expecting big things from this one - feels like France have the hunger for the win in recent years.

UMK 2023 lineup has been announced with a new song dropping every weekday until the 20th of this month. Keira - No Business on the Dancefloor Benjamin - Hoida mut Robin Packalen - Girls Like You Lxandra - Something To Lose Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha KUUMAA - Ylivoimainen Portion Boys - Samaa Taivasta Katsotaan Keira's song has been released and it's a confirmed banger!

Finland 2023 Käärijä Cha Cha Cha rJHe-iZ5HSI

Coming at you in 2023 with POWAH POWAH (that definitely used to be a thing right?) Specifically, a sultry gem with a signature New Lexico approved chorus!

Charmander!

Squirtle a very clear 3rd here.

Second song of 2023 being confirmed tonight. Hard to call how this will go given the new separate jury & televote legs of the voting. The "surprise" hit of the semi final shows was Duje but you'd presume Fifi is still going into this as the favourite. thviFKMsmQ8 HFRPck7t_oY

The songs are all out and my first OBSESSION of the 2023 NF season is this camp as teets banger! mBs_-AKRCo4

Buzzjack are genwunners confirmed. Also, KILL THE PENGUIN!
