We're going to begin with Semi Final 1 in 5 minutes, but first, we have a performance from the artist who brought BJSC to Hendinia this month. Performing her brand new single 'Muscle', it's the incredible METTE! UvaYN_ZSVKY

Results may be ~fairly fast, cos today is one of my last chances to pack for my house move and I need to get to Aldi before it shuts at 10 xx

Love that Jack Saunders said “The chart has gone from perhaps feeling tired at points, when you have Ed Sheeran at No 1 for 12 weeks straight, to a really engaging, exciting race for No 1". As Espresso enjoys its 7th week at the top x

I also don't think the general public dislike her, I just don't think they care about her anymore (which renders these articles even more pointless). I doubt most people even know who Dr Luke is - most of the gays I went to say 'And Juliet' with 2 weeks ago had never heard of Max Martin and one of them was a big Britney fan :lol: I worked at a graduation night out last night, which was mostly made up of like 18-23 year olds, and they were SCREAMING Teenage Dream and Hot N Cold, the former being one of the songs that got the biggest reaction of the night. But, I doubt if you asked any of those people "do you still listen to Katy Perry?" if they'd say yes. Obviously, I adore her, but she doesn't have the same shocking pull of Lady Gaga or Nicki Minaj, who have that nostalgia AND they have a reason to keep you interested in their future proceedings. She doesn't have the legacy of a Kylie. She's just a gorgeous American girl who made great teen-friendly pop songs but present teenagers have Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan to fill that void right now, not a woman approaching her 40s. It's the same reason Gwen Stefani never made the jump when she returned. There'll always be popstars to fill the void and unless you have something super stand out about you, you'll get lost if you slip enough times/go away for long enough.

Waking up to these articles from BBC News & The Independent about her flopping and I can't help but think some PR team is pushing these stories against her again. How is it newsworthy for the BBC that a woman who has only had 1 top 40 song in the last 5 years missed the top 40 again? This is where these things fall into just being plain hateful. It's not about disliking the song, it's not about disliking Dr Luke, it's about taking pointless jabs at Katy and it completely baffles my mind that she evokes such a feeling that makes these articles and this obsession necessary. This is just... not news.

Yes, results today - aiming for a 7pm start, at latest 7:30pm. Finished adding results up now, Aesthetica voted late so 15% deduction, nothing from Pagasa so 33% there x

Just missing votes from Aesthetica and Pagasa, I've added up all the rest of the votes, but as previously mentioned, will allow any more votes sent to me until 12pm UK time at a deduction.

I’ll realistically accept late votes, but will issue a 15% deduction.

Let the travesties begin x

Okay, all counted up! The following nations still have time to vote~ SEMI 1 New Lexico Botanikka Republique d'Askorza SEMI 2 New Lexico Hinterlandia Eledan Aesthetica Trifoski Pagasa

I don’t even watch many of the international series but Envy Peru going out already feels sad, especially thinking of some who have progressed. But it is understandable not to vote for people in series they haven’t watched.

Okay, you ate that x

HI LOVES, Had my shifts swapped so I’m working Tuesday night instead of Wednesday, so seeing as I can’t host results tomorrow, deadline is extended to 23:59pm tomorrow xx
