We have 1 more song to have submitted, and then when that is in, I’m off to the races to begin the compiling of the Spotify and YouTube playlists.

All 30 songs are now in!

…exciting..!!..time now to put the magic all together, Josiah…:love:…

Woop!

Mali opening the show. Fabulous. :dazzler:

…FIX…!!!!!!….actually that’s a great song, I’m dancing along with it this morning…:love:…

..l think that I might be away for the final, I’ll have to check my dates…there’s a semi final first, though…?….

Yeah, think that starts 7th June.

….ahhhh, sadly I won’t be here for that, then…I’ll have to catch up when I get back…

AskJoaish if you can send your scores now? He might let you

…are all of the songs up in the OP links now…?…I’ll try to find time to start scoring this week…

We have a week to vote, so there’s no rush to do it on the 7th.

Oh that’s good then, I thought it was a few days

Now that I have a bit of downtime until Wednesday morning when I work next, I am quickly (and finally) doing the remaining Song & Artist pictures for the website and here.

Now Ben can finally begin BenjiBet for this edition.

…ok, so 30 songs/countries…?….I’ll try to start giving them some attention from today and start listening soon…thank you for updating so quickly, Josiah…:love:…

….yeah I won’t rush it, I’ll start listening for proper from today but if I don’t get the scoring done before I go then it’ll be fine also…

…I’m just about to start listening now but I’m going to be really dumb, Josiah…what’s the difference with those two playlists, is one with qualifiers that automatically go through to the final or…?…one has 6 songs less…?…

One has all 30 songs, the other has just the 24 semi-finalists.

…so I’ve had a first listen to the first 24 semi final ones in this link…

…and the 6 below are automatic qualifiers to the final so we don’t have to score them in the semi final first round, yes…?…


…these are all excellent btw, this isn’t going to be in any way easy…I have a few favourites but beyond those they’re all equally qualifying worthy…

Correct.

…perfect, thank you…:love:…I haven’t listened to all of the 6 qualifiers yet, I’ll do that more leisurely after we know all of the finalists…

Going to listen to the semi finalists this week and do so a few times as I find I can get a good feel for them then.
