Haha, wow, I really had no idea!😆 It would be fun if I continued the tradition next year😄

My favorite is Finland! Gave me goosebumps🤩 Australia is a close second😁 My least favorite is UK. What a cringe fest😵‍💫

I voted 2 too :)

I very much agree with this! I love music videos, and if it's a really good one, it might tip the scale if I like two songs equally and I need more factors to decide. A bad one or lack of one generally doesn't tip the scale in the other direction, though. Maybe if I REALLY hate it, hah, but that's quite rare :)

Sent something for now. I feel like sending a (K) pop banger again. I feel like I'm due a pop hit, and this one's been stuck in my head since I first heard it! It's been quite a while since I've sent something along the lines of "I'm Ready" by Chung Ha or "Na" by Hwasa, and it's something I generally love. But I might change it if any of my other potentials grow on me. We shall see. I have a main potentials list of 65 at the moment, so you never know! Some of the ones on top are various levels of glorious Japanese nicheness. Three of them are instrumentals, and one of them is something I've never sent before, which is just noise. J-noise. Made by some strange and retro instruments. It's a style of music I've never sent before, but I've been having some noise-curious moments as of late. It's weird, as that usually either makes me frustrated, sick to my stomach or rather sleepy (or give me suppressed nightmares about crying in a dumpster - where that kind of music usually festers), but I think it would be fun to try sometime. It feels like the right tune for me. Although it might be too structured and accessible (and short!) for noise bloc proper, though. If I do send it someday, I'm obviously hoping for an 18 by Elëdan in the final😊😄

First!

Yay! Same! Niche Japanese music nations unite! ❤️🤩🥳

Greenfroze has voted as well. It was really hard to arrange my votes this time. And I mean all of them, not just the ones the top! Great final :)

Ah, I remember having to crosscheck too a bit back when I hosted some 437 years ago. I also thought you meant include your own country name😆But I always include country names, artist names and song titles in my votes, as I just copy the opening list and rearrange them in Word as I do my listening sessions. Just assumed it was something everyone did, but I remembered otherwise now. Easy to forget if you do it otherwise, maybe. In any case, from now on, let’s just send in our votes in the following format in contests hosted by République d'Áskorza: (example votes, first 15 countries on the list) Baleghde – 18 points TEMMIS 15 03 \\ Lentyll \\ 13 points Slumber Party – 12 pts. Freidland’s Pegasus – eleven Opera show in the evening with drinks – 10 pints Ignatius or iggy? – 9 pointages number 8 in the running order, never DNQ’ed in their life ever – 8 points fruity title – 7 drowning leprechauns – SIX 11 \\ electro bigh tech 5 ordinary average big city - number 4 French fun – douze points minus neuf 14 \\ u r my Skall-portmanteau (three points) Mom does the project in 2515 – single Thanks!

Same! I guess I can accept a year full of ups and downs for myself if we get finals like these. I want to vote for 24 songs at the moment!😮

Greenfroze has voted! I wanted to vote for 15 songs, which is really great! Awesome semi 😊 Forgot to mention that I think I only knew two other songs beforehand: Heavenly and Night At The Opera, which were both on my potensials list. I actually thought they would both be vetoed, hah, but I guess they're only great songs😁 Hype to J-bloc! Go, go, go!

Red tape realness! Let's go!

I changed my entry as well :)

And Lucky Stars, Starry Eyed and Stardust😋 (+Cise Starr)

I certainly hope not!😤 #booooo Although I'm just happy to be in the final again!🥳
