A lot of similar songs making it through this time though which is a bit of a shame.

Was hoping at least one foreign language song (other than Finland) would do it.

How many did everyone get through? Two for me :dance:

And the running order for the final is....

01. Finland
02. New Zealand
03. Japan
04. Greece
05. Mexico
06. Norway
07. Australia
08. United States
09. Nigeria
10. Canada
11. Montenegro
12. Italy
13. Scotland
14. Poland
15. Liechtenstein
16. South Korea
17. Austria
18. Sweden
19. Denmark
20. Ireland

One for me. I knew Mali wouldn’t get through though but I wanted to mix up the semi final so it wasn’t just female dance songs as the others I had in mind were that. :laugh:

I did that for Egypt, knowing there was probably no chance of it qualifying :joker:

How did you all like the video?

It was good. I like how updated it is with the current Eurovision

4. Did you guys vote for your own country too?

….ahhhh no, no, noooooo…..I think that it’s ok to say that one of my countries…(…that was ruthlessly voted out…!!!…)…gave Egypt top points …but it also featured in all of my country points…I had it as a winner…/…great song…Justice for Egypt…!!!!!!….

…I did vote for some of my own but I don’t think that I voted for all of them, I’d have to check…I did down vote the ones I did though to what I actually thought I would place them if they weren’t mine…/…if that makes sense…

If its alright with everyone, I think that I might need to push the recap to Sunday evening as the editing of the recap is currently interfering with my sleep schedule for work; and I'm going to be working on this right after I get home from work this afternoon.

…honestly, you are so excellent at your presentation vids, Josiah…it was an excellent vid…I love how you gave that suspense before ‘plucking out’ each qualifier and it all flowed just as smoothly as smooth…beautiful…:lovedup:..

…whatever is easiest and works for you, we’ll fit in with…do we start voting now or…?…

…everyone did well in getting entries through to the final, I thought…?…

Voting will open the moment I post the recap. However, if people want to begin to their Grand Final voting early; I am fine with that.

…I honestly think that this was the most difficult one to vote on, the entries were so excellent and every one deserved a place in the final…

…I might wait for your recap because you make it so much easier in how you do it…you take some chill time for yourself though as well…:love:..

Yeah I’ll wait for the recap too before considering votes.

Me too

The recap will be posted at 8PM. See you then!

Yay!! I'll prepare to vote later.

…:love:..
