Nation Song Contest 194 - Semi-Final Results (19:00 CEST)

[ferret]

Thank you for the show, @Sean, and everyone for our qualifying!
I believed in this song after failing in a folk music contest, but at that time there was no animated video, this added mystery and atmosphere to the song. Thank you to everyone who voted for Hulten and

A very emotionally difficult day (), this show could have killed me... But tomorrow it will be even worse ( vs ).
I'm sorry that I couldn't participate here online. Congratulations to everyone who is happy with their result!

Wow that place of real winners in Semi 1 - what a joy!

Surovia will definitely need to buck up their ideas if they're going to continue having a voice in Moisantia's future song choices it seems...

Great concept and qualifier reveal Sean - massive amount of effort, and great to give each nation a moment to shine in the show

Results were ok on the whole - as is standard now, I got more of my Reju Top 10 through than my Regular but I did get my Top 3 from Semi 1 while my Semi 2 Top 2 are sadly missing...

Amazing results show Sean, thank you for all of your effort! Even though I've not been on the main roster very long I really enjoyed delving into NSC history and seeing each nation get its little bit of time to shine.

 

[Stargazer]

Congrats to all qualifiers, and what a wonderful job on the show, Sean! So loved all these descriptions and highlights from all the participating nations.

Really sad I just missed out on qualifying, with a song I've been so obsessed with . But at least some of you seemed to like it. Awful results for some of my favorites as well. Thank you to everyone who voted for Auri!



Semi 1 REJU vote





Semi 2 vote







I really wanted to include all my favorite songs from each nation, but it's taken me all evening to just go through my voting history to see which songs I enjoyed the most from each nation and I haven't even gotten to the re-listening part yet to refresh my memory, so I'll have to come back and finish this part later! I really want to do it, but I'll be super busy the next few days so bear with me!

 

[Fearnavigatr]

Haha, yeah you're right. Maybe not the best one to highlight. How about this iconic entry in the same kind of vein (and probably better and even more iconic tbh).

NSC 20

To be totally clear, I am of course joking, and I appreciate the callback. ^^
No endorsement given to that guy, but we can at least take some solace in the fact that it's not himself, but parody voice impressions from various Simpsons and Family Guy episodes.

SML though, I'm always here for the definitive and most important Ugly song getting its due. Even if only two or three people will ever understand its deep contextual layers.

 

[Territrius]

Nooo, the tie Thank you to all those who voted for me!!

This was a fantastic show

Wish the results were, too, though, NQ'ing and losing my top 3...

What an amazing, heartwarming and unifying, connecting-together idea of the results show, @Sean!!

Sorry, I couldn't participate in that but maybe I'll try catch up somehow!! Maybe will post the list of my fav entries from each nation. Because I love all the nations and I surely have a song from each that made my day, week, month or more once!!

Thaaaaaaank you aaaaaaaaaalllllllllllll
You can't imagine, I literally cried when I saw this green check in the spoiler!! That's what I totally needed after the bad end of yesterday!
You massively cheered me up in that hard busy time with the graduation work etc. Thank you so so so much once again!!!

Congratulations to all who made it!!!

[apasionata]

Excellent idea for results show ! @Sean I enjoyed every single step down the memory lane !!!!

Thank you so much for securing spot in final for the lovely new protegee of Mylene Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat - Julia!
Dare I say she proved she lives up to the standards of her masters-tutors tremendously well with the song and the video of "Et toi mon amour alike". I'm hoping for major support in finals too

Congratuations to all qualifiers and comisserations to those who missed on qualification.

I didn't really expect results yesterday, and only dropped by the forum to see when the results would be. They were about halfway at that point. I had a really long day at work, and barely made it home in time for the first Euro 2020 match of the day, and altho I did try to read all the comments, I was way too tired to contribute anything (I even skipped the end of the second football match last night). But it was a great show. Lost both my 12 pointers pretty early tho (I gave Lacrea half their points ), and also my 10 pointer in what was the best semi. But I got 11 of the 20 songs I voted for thru, and with a few great PQs, I think my top 10 in the final will be pretty good anyway. As for my own result, it was never really a question of if "Work" would qualify, but how low it would end. My hope was to avoid the bottom 5, and when the ties are broken, well, we'll see...

DNQ results:
Semi 1
(Congrats on getting your first entry on my Douze points playlist at least)




Semi 2 (reju)
(a former NF entry was never going to qualify )

Great results show.

Unfortunately, the same can definitely not be said for the actual results.
