The pm version of my votes weren't too exciting. The only extra thing it had was some honourable mentions to Aeroche, Hendinia, Summericia and Bronzil, who just missed out on points from me.

Congrats to Fljótavík! and thanks everyone for the 14th place! 😍 (and thanks for the points since my last post to Sovarasma, Spodic Empire, Jupiterdonia, Séyetana, Baleghde, A-Konohagakure, Elëdan, Trifoski, Persephonia and New Lexico!)

Thanks to everyone who has voted for Dalisska so far! (Lentyll, Jadakissnia, Ajanaeda, Dobago, Deandria, Terra Avium, Greenfroze and Land of DW!)

In another song contest I take part in, there's the option (it's not required) for people in one semi to vote in the other as part of a rest jury. Then the song that gets the highest score in the rest jury vote that hasn't already qualified through the normal semi vote, qualifies as the rest jury qualifier. (It's just one extra qualifier per semi)

Dalisska's NQ points: 08 - Zephyra Continuum 01 - Dobago Shocked that Zephyra Continuum was that low and nobody else voted for them....

Wait, did I give Zephyra Continuum all of their points? 😲 (They were my 8 pointer)

Yay! I was really starting to lose hope there. 😵‍💫

I had actually considered Ring The Alarm at one point for BJSC, but in my head I thought Aurora would be a really obvious veto so I didn't bother. I clearly have no idea what will actually get vetoed. 😅

Only the second non English song Dalisska has ever sent (I think), Dalisska is sending a song sung in Welsh to BJSC 183. (It's not a first but I think the language is pretty rare in BJSC) NoGood Boyo - Just a G.O.A.T

No Harmonica? Who am I going to give my 18 to? 😦

Live footage of me after finishing the hosting of BJSC 182: It was a lot of fun, and it's always really interesting to see the other side of how online song contests are run! Congrats again to Altyr Muunilinst on your victory, great song!

The Semi Final results in text form with some notes on my experience watching the semi votes come in. (all ties are broken) Semi Final One 01. (147) Hendinia 02. (128) New Lexico 03. (102) Bøtanikkä 04. (101) Taahino 05. (100) Harmonica 06. (91) Yehesi 07. (89) Pagasa 08. (77) N DNTN 09. (75) Aeroche 10. (75) Lentyll 11. (72) Baleghde 12. (67) Freidland 13. (65) Ojnoj 14. (55) Juranabaijan 15. (51) Zanmatony 16. (50) Land of DW 17. (48) Wholune 18. (48) Mothertopia 19. (47) Dobago 20. (43) East Rukahavian 21. (42) Séyetana 22. (41) Macromia 23. (34) Cumulonimbia 24.

(11) Skall Some notes: * East Rukahavian surprised me, it was at the bottom for most of the voting period and then had a surge at the last second and nabbed a qualifying spot. * Zanmatony was another that kind of struggled early on but performed better in the latter half of votes. Semi Final Two 01. (116) Altyr Muunilinst 02. (107) Lookylion 03. (93) FSR Rontvia 04. (91) Summericia 05. (90) POPHub 06. (89) Kluminican Republic 07. (82) Trifoski 08. (79) FARC 09. (78) Jupiterdonia 10. (77) The Spodic Empire 11. (77) Cor Lupus 12. (72) Fljótavík 13. (70) Deandria 14. (63) Danæviia 15. (62) Sovarasma 16. (60) Dalisska 17. (54) Elëdan 18. (53) Persephonia 19. (53) Neliönoir 20. (51) Scotland 2 21. (46) A-Konohagakure 22. (45) Jadakissnia 23. (39) Zephyra Continuum 24. (38) Greenfroze 25. (32) Ajanaeda 26. (27) Lotunia 27. (20) Flynnonda 28. (17) Ennea 29. (17) Ben's Sanctuary Some notes: * Qualifying wasn't quite as comfortable for Dalisska as I had hoped, I started to get a bit anxious near the end because I wasn't sure where more votes would come from... * It was interesting to see some people pumping up Neliönoir and Scotland 2 in the comments. There were moments I was unsure if they'd even make it or that maybe one would make it but not the other. * Scotland 2 was the qualifier across both semis with the least amount of voters (with 6) but 3 of them were top marks. They really dragged the song to the final.
