SF4 Spolidifestivalen 4 Coming to a thread near you! MARCH 2026

Would anyone like to try their hand at a genre we haven't covered yet? We've got an annual (from the 20th century) coming very soon. : much excite:

I'm free later for a listen through

It's totally The Great Escape era Blur. Best thing the UK has sent since Buck Fizz.

I believe that qualifying with your first 5 entries isn't very common.

A few NQs among prominent nations is enough for us to shoot up the rankings.

The piano is on mute.

Quality stuff. Flawless performance.

Hardly anyone knows it. It was a minor hit in 1996 in Ireland. The video is only available on one channel on yourtube and was only uploaded there 3 years ago. The band doesn't even have a Wikipedia page. I'd forgotten all about it until last year when I just thought I'd look it up. I sent it to gooddelata as I know he likes that sort of thing and soon it went on to my BJSC potentials list. When Wubble U did well, I thought it was an adequate follow up to that entry.

Bit of a comedown from the success of Wubble U. Predictions were very generous, in retrospect, Thanks to Summericia, Kluminican Republic and Greenfroze for the 18s!

I haven't used last,fm for a long time.

Will be confirming tomorrow x

Thanks for the points Pav

East R ain't coming last.

Fingers crossed for top 41 🙏

It's immaculate. She's going to add so much to the live performance. It's going to win the jury unless France's opera singer is incredible. However, it does very little for me. But that has nothing to do with the quality of the tune and more to do with my taste. It's gonna have to really surprise to pull in a televote over 100. But what do I know? 😄

15 short listed songs. Final listen through to put them in the right order. Best of luck, everyone. The Emperor of the Spodic Empire has no mercy for the weak of tune or the timid of voice.

😱

Oh no. Not really my sort of thing. 😀

Can you give me the next number up from 31 that hasn't been taken? Thanks 😊

31 please,

I meant if they were both 20th.

Is there a valid reason to not let both qualify?
