2/2 through

good night, guys !

QF1
8 - Russia
7 - Greece

QF2
5 - Iceland
4 - Israel
1 - Vatican City

If it makes you feel better, you gave both points Maybe not as many as you would have otherwise, but you did give them points!

2/2 through. Bloody fantastic

I am just grateful you could do my votes for me Justin, not been an easy night. I set off early from work at about 4 pm and not long got home Whatever you did was fine - I just wanted those that are out to know there were songs that I really liked that's all and I'm sad some of them didn't make it

well done and err hi again lol (we just met on the escchat live thread )

Hey we have to stop meeting like this. I saw phil363 and Greek Fan on there

I saw phill but not greek fan

NQ votes
8 - Slovenia
6 - Armenia

8 - Cyprus
6 - Israel
4 - Iceland
3 - Georgia

I'm still shocked Serbia did better than Macedonia.
And, time to put Cyprus in the unwanted pile with all those last place in QFs it has so far this year.
No #LjubljanaDSFE78

For those of you that know Preston, which I don't well not that well anyway. When the breakdown guy said he was taking me to the Phantom Winger for another truck to take me home from there, I thought it was a slang word for a garage - had no idea it was a bloody pub/restaurant. All these years i have been working in the area and no idea a pub existed called the Phantom Winger!

Oops . Iceland gone, no shock (unlike the real thing). Glad to not be last - everything there is just so out-there experimental isn't it. Nowhere near as good as you'd think it would be

2/2 so far suprisingly

pretty confident with my other 2 tbf

Bumping both of these! We've received very few votes (read: one), so we'd love to get more before Friday!

Just want you to know Justin - you did a great job tonight! Without needing me (which I always knew would be the case ). Sorry though that I wasn't there if you did need to answer any questions.

Aww, thanks Beth! I appreciate it I'm glad things went smoothly, and I'm just happy you're home and not dealing with sketchy tow trucks and car problems anymore!

I'm home but my car is still f*cked I just rang Green Flag and I have to ring a garage in the morning and get them to agree to do the job to fix it and then ring Green flag back and then they will take me to the garage, which for me is in the area of my work lol. My garage doesn't know I am coming and probably can't do it all tomorrow which means me hiring a car

You are doing a great job on your first hosting session! Notice I said first as I do anticipate there will be more to come! lol

By the way, when I posted a design idea for flags, (nobody mentioined it r or commented) I hope people took that on DSFE standards etc as a way of potentially doing things? Comments welcome but I am not going to force a matter

I liked the flag design. Amazing how you do it really. I would not know where to start!

I liked them as well! Sorry - was in the middle of getting the other QFs posted. They look fantastic, Beth!

Thanks - that's good to know!

I'm off to bed now but have fun gusQ

QF3 Review

NETHERLANDS: Not a big fan of Anouk. The song is ok
SVALBARD: I enjoy both the track and her vocals
MOLDOVA: He is hot. The song isn't but we can't have it all
ANDORRA: 1D boyband type isn't my thing at all. Anastasia makes it bearable.
AUSTRALIA: Had considered sending this back when I had Australia. I like the verses but the chorus doesn't do much for me
GREENLAND: I like the video way more than the song
IRAN: Not for me
WALES: Weird pick. I don't like it at all
BELGIUM: I adore Birdy ( obviously, as her 2 last entries came from me ). This may not be her best song to date but the video clip is her most beautiful one. One of my favourite entries in this contest.
POLAND: The lyrics are quite generic but decent overall
ITALY: Class! What a beauty, what a climax
ROMANIA: I dislike the way she's singing. The song is nice
FRANCE: Another favourite of mine, love everything about it
CZECH REPUBLIC: Good voice and nice song
HUNGARY: Passed me by
WESTERN ASIA: Never appreciated Bollywood songs and it doesnt seem like I am going to start doing so now
TURKEY: Simple and pure. Gorgeous find.
SPAIN: This annoys me.

Of course I disagree with about 90% of Greek's review.

Notes to come later today.

NQV's for Qf2 :
12 Serbia
6 Iceland
2 Lithuania
1 Israel

Thanks of the 12 points!

Really enjoyed it! Thanks for the break from breathy ladies!
