I liked how 'MOD' was preceded by a different Ray (Danny Ray) and followed by 'An Open Door' (symbolic because the 'MOD' MV features lots of door opening). But I also like having 'Split Up The Kids' and 'Dropped Down The Well' (a different kind of symbolism) sandwiching my entry and among the last three songs. 😄

6/10 (all 4 announced near the end). I've been a bit scared that I have scored some of the tracks too low, but turns out they are not even close to making it. Special mentions to Numayania and Scotland 2 for their earworms!! And I can finally cross off that one goal of qualifying with a girl group (technically second all-female act I got to bring to the final) where Liella! (BJSC185) and 2NE1 (from 100+ years ago) didn't manage!!!!!

Ah, shucks about Fathertopia Mothertopia. That was a bop. I'll talk a bit more in a bit.

OMG TNX

The last song in the running order is making me curious...

Oh, Chloe Qisha actually qualifying! (and New Lexico, breaking their NQ streak)

How the f is 'Aeropickles' last???

Liminal joining HENGE in the final!

Yay at Rontvia Q!

Are there crazy tiebreaks again?

I could vote tomorrow but, eh, I think I am fine with my 10 songs in order. I have also went through all of Semi 2 including the last one so imaginary certificate obtained.

187 July/August 2026 Alternate Dream Dimension Artist: RAY Song: MOD

(And oop. I ruined the number.)

Oh no, why are Anri and Sophia Stel's songs in the other semi. 😨 (Also joining in the Sophia Stel hype, as she was sent in Unknown Pleasures this year as a featured artist of Placid Angles) ((sorry not sorry I was first))

Time to send my next one before I don't do it on time. The artist name and song title have the same number of letters.
