I usually check them out on YT so i can get the whole vibe/look etc instead of just a song… but i’m sure they’ll all be on spotify

…where do we see the names of the songs that we’re listening to…(…I know I’m being dumb, I just can’t see how to see what they are and I’ll start listening…)

At the top of the first page there’s a bit that says official wikia.. that’ll take you to a page with all the countries/songs :thumbs:

…oh strangely I clicked on that earlier and got distracted and clicked off the page again…:laugh:…thank you so much, Jones…:love:…I’m going to have several listens to those over the next few days…

No problem. Yeah i need to get into them soon too

Where do you listen to the songs?

Ness, I will post the Spotify playlist and the YouTube playlist when the time comes.

Ah ok. I was just wondering where the others were listening to the songs.

They most likely have found the songs on YouTube and Spotify.

No, only 14 from the semi- final go through. The wiki page says 20 countries final (and 6 have automatically qualified). So we’ll lose 12 songs.

I do both. I watch the video first to get the full vibe, then listen a couple of times on Spotify

Liechtenstein opening the contest now there’s a semi-final :love:

Poor Cape Verde not being listed as an option to select. Only just noticed that :laugh:

Well, that gives me another country to add to the country selection for next edition.

Today's the day! The semi-final is tonight at 8pm!

Looking forward to this x

:dazzler:

…also looking forward to this, although I’m thinking that my entries could be cut/looking at Benjibet odds…and we don’t have to do anything for the semi final, then…

Nah, my odds are purely speculation based on past votes and songs which people already know faring better because it’s an easy vote. There’ll be some surprises going through no doubt. :love:

…honestly if I just get one through I’ll be delighted …I haven’t quite listened to them all yet but there are some great entries in there that I’m loving and being objective…?…they’d be the ones I’d be rooting for…:laugh:…I’m definitely adding to my playlist from this event…

Oh yeah, that list isn’t a guarantee by any means of the songs that will make the final. Just based on past voting already known songs and songs in English tend to fare better, but not always.

Best thing is to vote for your actual fave songs well known or not.

It’s also not a list of odds to win. That will likely look very different depending on what songs make it plus adding in the songs already in the final.

…having a semi final just adds another layer of entertainment and excitement to it, actually …:love:…

Yeah, we didn’t have one last time. Which made the odds slightly harder to predict so I could be totally off. :laugh:

After consulting with Kate, as to not interfere with TiBB Jukebox, I will be pulling the show forward to 7:00.

So this means, we now have 2 and a half hours until showtime.
