 surprising qualification, cant say it was really deserved but still congrats  another surprise, this was just okay  never liked this one  decent song  i've never understood whats so special in this, just there for me  absolutely not my cup of tea  i lowkey forgot about this nn this should have qualified, one of her best  I hate this singer so I cant it was robbed but certainly surprising  well nothing surprising but it wasnt dreadful  i gave this 8 in RoF, expected this to qualify, robbed  this was so sweet, should have made it  nothing special for me  really surprised about its result, it got a lot of hype so i thought this would easily slide through. For me the song is quite nice  <//////3 the only song i loved in this semi, undeservedly done dirty  this was actually quite good, sad to see it go   YES, my favourite BFL song, I hope it will do well  really good, youre snapping recently  a bit of a shock, congrats on making it on your debut, decent song  this is almost certainly a winner. And it will be deserved, my favourite Phoebe song (im really basic)  this starts to grow on me, glad to see you back in the final after so long and after so many robberies   it may be surprising for some but I did not expect to qualify at all, mainly after seeing many people saying its one of her worst songs. Anyway I am really glad to qualify, I love Janelle and its my favourite from her, thank you for the votes!  also starts to grow on me a bit it was there  <///3 so robbed, my 18  expected this to qualify, bop  this was okay  i hate this so fucking muchdgfsdhdghsdgj  i LOVE arca but this song is just horribly boring, deserved and expected NQ  this was robbed, great song that seemed like a sure qualifier for me  horribly generic, dreadful  i was close to giving it points, not bad  i thought this would qualify, pretty good   amazing song, amazing artist, probably AQing  SO glad it qualified, banger certainly a very shocking NQ but for me the song was just there. Still after seeing it 1st in odds its weird to see it go  alright song ig  really deserved, sorry  same here  this was ROBBED, even though i prefered other songs from the NS i still think it deserved to go through, banger  <//////////////3 we lost a gem, this wouldve been my top 3 in the final  really strong return but i kinda expected this fail  why the FUCK did this NQ, i thought this would be an easy qualifier, so good and so robbed  nice song but got lost in this semi  |

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-This was another edition where I just struggled to find an entry which I loved and could do well in the competition, so in the last remaining hours, I just dug through my Swedish playlist on spotify.I had this song in there for like a week, just adding it in there because "Petra often does some good stuff", and in a second attempt to listen to it... it just clicked with me how much I really loved it.I thought the song sounded like smth that could be liked in FC, but I just decided "fuck it" and sent it, whether it would be overseen or it. I figured sending something I loved was more important.Reactions came, the odds came, and I thought there was some actual hope in me returning to the final after the past 3 editions of bombing in the semis, and... here we are.I'd like to thank everyone who voted for us in the third semi final. I thought it to be really damn strong, me liking almost everything in it, and considered a qualification a miracle at this point.I also thought it would be risky to send smth in Swedish, considering how most Swedish songs aren't often that fantastic for contest purposes, both from my perspective and other players.But then again, I wouldn't have sent this anywhere if I didn't see potential in it, whether it was sung in Swedish or not, and just like that, it still paid off. So once again, thank you ANYWAYS, onto my reaction towards the results:In general, I really enjoyed a bunch of the qualifiers, and generally find the Grand Final to be relatively good quality wise.Just to avoid any form of spoilers, I won't comment anything towards the qualifiers, so let's give some attention to the non-qualifiers who deserve it:SEMI FINAL 1 This... came as a surprise. I was for sure that this was a certain qualifier, and I even put you as a winner of this semi  A real shame.  This really grew on me when listening to it in full. Honestly thought it would do the same with the others and potentially qualify, but nope. Another entry I'll miss in the final </3  I actually found this enjoyable, but just like MB, I also kind of understood why it didn't fly with everyone else. A really nice debut, however.  Liked this, just not enough as the others, however. Kind of a shame, it had smth going for it.  I really underrated this, good lord. Me voting late at night did not help me at all lmao. Not seeing Achroa in the final for three editions in a row kinda hurts, especially since I really liked all 3 of them.  ROBBED. It may be a lot calmer than regular folk-ish songs, but I still adored every single second of it. I'll really be missing this in the final </3 SEMI FINAL 2 While it may be a "typical Ashley" entry, I'm still one of those who can appreciate some rock here and there, and this one is definitely not excluded. This one honestly surprised me. I thought this had a lot going for it to at least qualify, but apparently not. Really enjoyed the atmosphere it gave, and I'll honestly miss it in the final. idk why the hell I blanked this  love voting late at night. My votes probably wouldn't have changed anything, but should have atleast given it smth, it bops after a while.  Wasn't really that into it, but it had smth going on which I slightly enjoyed. Kind of surprised it NQd, but the reactions from others seemed to say the opposite.  This bopped in a really strange way, but heck I'm vibbin'. A shame it NQd tho  flagscanadvia I mean, to be honest, this kind of bopped tho. still can't believe it didn't win the semi /s HOW THE FUCK. I have had this band (and this song) in my list for a few editions, and while I was bummed I couldn't send it myself, I was ready to give all my support to it.
I can understand the qualifiers in this semi, but the fact that this song STILL didn't qualify is really annoying to see. The fact that both my RotW 12s flopped is, well,  SEMI FINAL 3
[directed by ROBERT B. WEIDE]ok but on a serious not, how the hell did this fail?? I mean based on how I voted, I had other entries I preferred, but I always saw this as a locked qualifier, while the rest was rather open.ik I've seen the band in like 4 contests now, but considering that Alper (as I've heard) sent it here first, it's a bit of a shame seeing it fail, as the song still bops   It's a shame that this song had so little chances of success, because it's really damn beautiful, both from the instrumentation to the Czech language. Really hope this didn't end last </3 I like this, but also have some annoyances with it as the last minute of the song leads to just a fade out, and that bothers me to some extent. Still a good entry, however. immensely robbed. this really hits hard while listening in full, and I was more than happy to give it big points. was really hoping for it to qualify, but alas, I'll be missing it in the final instead </3 this is another Alchten situation. I enjoy the whole song, but do find some parts of it repetitive and a bit boring to some extent. a lovely returning entry, nonetheless. THIS GREW ON ME TOO LATE. I'd probably have given this so much more later in the voting, but it was completely lost in between the other songs which were present in the semi final. Based on the reaction, this was probably in the top 10 of the semi, but not close enough. An actual shame, it really bops </3 another alchten/freyhurst moment, except that the song has a lot more which I stan. While the last 40 seconds of "nothingness" is there, it's tolerable. kind of thought this had chances, but unfortunately not. will kind of miss this in the final, ngl. it me. in conclusion: robbed. but anyways, I'm looking forward to a wonderful grand final, and hope for the best for everyone in there, and especially me

 OMG I just used a "The 100" GIF, but I think it's worth it after being in the NQ Ark for what feels like 100 years.  It was the first thing that came to my head lol.
I'm so excited to be back in the final again. Thank you to the folks who supported my entry. But... where are my dears Fordia and Katsyria? Also shocked to not even see Shkeera, Torlova, and even Pohunskia qualify. Otherwise, I love most of the qualifiers. See you all in the final. |

To be completely honest, I was fully expecting an NQ this edition as soon as I saw the countries in SF1... here's hoping I'm not 8th again All in all, these are easily the worst semi results in the contest's history. I don't know who or what was responsible for the collective downgrading in music taste but,,, SF1 24 | Fyor 17 | Pashlanahuy 17 | Katsyria 10 | Trivania 7 | Moly-Boronia 6 | Wedse 1 | Fordia SF2 (RoF) 12 | Lanovina 6 | Corzazjan 5 | Shkeera 4 | Danskanksova 3 | Juliana 2 | Glaiola SF3 (RoF) 12 | Alchten 10 | Boninbourg 8 | Ka'a and Kehbe 6 | Torlova 2 | Eldance  moment of silence for which are genuinely some of the most amazing songs ever sent to the contest |
