Calling Lentyll and Hushkanukia....are you ready to present your votes to us? Lentyll (13/60) Hushkanukia (14/60) Harmonica pick up yet another 18 points while Fljotavik also pick up an 18. Eledan, Wholune, Ojnoj and Yehesi also pick up some high scores from this batch of votes. Next we'll go to Ojnoj along with our third scoreboard update.

We move onwards now to Mothertopia and Dobago, who both have a set of votes to share with us... Mothertopia (11/60) Dobago (12/60) New Lexico pick up an 18 from Mothertopia while Harmonica picks up another 18 pointer from Dobago.

We now go to the Elëdan who are now ready to present their votes.... Elëdan (10/60) and now that 10 countries have voted let's have a look again at the current standings: Kluminican Republic holds on to the lead however Harmonica, FARC and Trifoski are now inching closer.

We've got another two sets of votes coming and this time they're from Terra Avium and Sovarasma. Terra Avium (8/60) Sovarasma (9/60) Pagasa receives an 18 along with Zanmatony. Trifoski and Elëdan also pick up high points with this new set of votes. Next up we'll be getting the votes from Elëdan and our next scoreboard update.

Cheiron....Jadakissnia....may we get both of your votes now? Cheiron (6/60) Jadakissnia (7/60) Aeroche get their first points of the night and it's an 18! Trifoski also pick up an 18. Altyr Muunilinst get another high score with a 15 while Dalisska also receives a 15 from Jadakissnia! @Scene I was going to say here are the Aeroche votes...but they're you're votes. 🤣

Our next (and only voter) for this vote update comes to us from Ben's Sanctuary! Ben's Sanctuary (5/60) and now we get our first look at the current standings: Kluminican Republic has taken the early lead ahead of Altyr Muunilinst, Harmonica, FSR Rontvia and New Lexico but there's still many more votes to come! (there will be icons on the left in the next scoreboards to show who's going up, down or remain unchanged)

Next up we go to Bronzil and the host nation Dalisska to see how they've voted! Bronzil (3/60) Dalisska (4/60) This time around it's Kluminican Republic and Harmonica who pick up the top marks, but FSR Rontvia and Altyr Muunilinst also pick up some significant points. Next up is Ben's Sanctuary along with our first proper scoreboard!

The first two sets of votes come to us from Lookylion and Zephyra Continuum, let's see how they've voted! Lookylion (1/60) Zephyra Continuum (2/60) Altyr Muunilinst and Jupiterdonia get the first two 18s of the night. With Kluminican Republic, Cor Lupus, Land of DW and Fljotavik also picking up some high points!

The show will be starting in 5 minutes but first I'll post the scoreboard we'll be using: (this will show up every 5 votes) It's using the colours of the Dalisska flag. (hopefully it doesn't look too busy 😅) At 8:00PM I'll start posting the votes.

Actually false alarm, there wasn't an error at all. I was going through all of the quotes of everyones votes and I had accidentally posted someone elses vote quote in place of another persons....so I thought the votes were wrong when they weren't. 😅

I just wanted to say that I've noticed an error in my recording of a set of votes. It doesn't change the winner but it does change some placements around. So I'm not sure if I should postpone the results while I fix the scoreboards or if it would still work out....

Welcome one last time for the grand final results! 42 nations have taken to the stage but only 1 country can take home the trophy. Will it be your favourite? Will it be you? Tune in at 8:00PM GMT tonight to find out! If you want one last reminder of all the songs this edition before the results get underway, you can listen again to the recap: When the results start I'll post two sets of votes at a time and every 5 votes we'll get a scoreboard update to see what the current standings are.

I'm hoping to start the final results at 8:00PM GMT tonight. I'll open the final results thread closer to that time.

Just awaiting the votes from FARC and Cumulonimbia now. (the late deadline is at 2:00PM GMT today, so just less than 2 hours away) EDIT: (13:41) Everyone has voted!

The deadline has now passed. Cumulonimbia, FARC, Pagasa and Yehesi failed to vote by the deadline so the latter three will receive a 15% point deduction. They can still send their votes into me by 2:00PM GMT tomorrow. Not voting by tomorrow's 2:00PM deadline will result in a 33% point deduction and a ban from competing in the next edition.

I think that's fine as long as you get your votes in before the deadline.

I'll risk sending out one last reminder to people to say that there's only one hour left before the deadline at 23:59PM GMT. This is the last reminder before the deadline.

Another reminder to say that you only have 4 hours left to get your votes in before the 23:59 GMT deadline tonight. Failing to vote by this time will get you a 15% point deduction on your score.

Sending out reminders to everyone who hasn't voted yet. The deadline for voting is just a little over 24 hours away at 23:59PM GMT tomorrow (Thursday 5th March). The deadline for late votes is 2:00PM GMT on Friday (6th March) however you will receive a 15% point deduction from your song. You'll receive a 33% point deduction if you fail to vote and those who fail to vote will also be banned from competing in the next edition of BJSC.

Something I'm not sure if people noticed, but Cumulonimbia and Terra Avium got the exact same points, same number of voters and the exact same point spread in the semis. So (and I'm assuming it works like this in BJSC I'm not 100% sure, I'm sure Bror could tell us) Cumulonimbia won the tiebreak because it's name comes first alphabetically. (that's how I judged it anyway) I'm glad that wasn't a 20th/21st situation tbh because that would have been a brutal reason to not qualify. (Maybe this is more common in BJSC than I think but it seemed notable to me)

Oh sorry, I wasn't sure if that was ok to mention. The 20th placed song in Semi Final 1 received 43 points. (21st, Séyetana was at 42) The 20th placed song in Semi Final 2 received 51 points. (21st A-Konohagakure was at 46)

Oh, also I'll be generating the recap tomorrow so if anyone wants a specific timeslot for their song to appear now is the time to message me with that. It needs to be 14 seconds.

I have to be honest I'm so tired right now I lost the ability to make jokes like 20 minutes ago. 🤣
