Shame that the medal got lost Beth. Ice hockey is very huge here in Canada, and that Olympic medal might have cost a ton of fortune here.

I'm now not sure how many times I failed with Georgia. But yeah, I'm hoping they make it far this contest.

10 points for Azerbaijan is a bit harsh I think - lyrically I think it's beautiful anyway

Yeah, my Dad was mentioned in the will and the money that might have come to my Dad doesn't bother me really, it is things like the expensive ornaments and the family heirlooms like the medal that do bother me. Somewhere out there is that medal

Incidentally, William was the rarity in that British team as he was potentially the only one that wasn't Canadian!! lol

My QF3 is going to end up last Not getting great reviews

My QF3 song has had bad reviews from all but one person so I don't have high hopes

What's Hot?
Austria - Rose May <3 Love this, so upbeat and catchy
Israel - Guys what? This is so pretty and it's so good
Moldova - This is a really good find, loving it

What's Not?
Denmark - Irritating, not my kind of thing
Faroe Islands - I don't like discount Little Mix and this isn't great
Poland - Also irritating and basic

Voted in QF2 - at least when I come last it'll be fair & square, not a DQ. If the reviews are anything to go by, I may even have a nul points chance - exciting
Also, that's a great story Beth, shame about the medal . I love the bit about the National

QF2 is good. I think my song is a borderline qualifier. I really hope it qualifies.

A reminder of tonight's agenda.

What's Hot?
Croatia - Fun, upbeat Balkan carnival <3
Georgia - Brilliant entry for Georgia, hope it does well
Gotland - This is great, strong entry

What's Not?
Bulgaria - Weak singer ruins this for me
Netherlands - There's nothing wrong with this, just average
Portugal - Also just average for me

And some statistics for me per QF.

Quarter Final 1...
Average: 22.56/30.00
Highest Score: 28
Lowest Score: 13

Quarter Final 2...
Average: 22.47/30.00

My weakest entry is in QF3 (my weakest QF).

CFK I have no idea what those stats mean!

Oh, I scored them all out of 30 (10 for song, 10 for singer, 10 for originality) and used that for my rankings. they're just how I find them

Ah I see!

Well, I'm glad one person liked it I had another song that probably could have done a little better but I didn't like it as much.

It's comforting to know that I'm still as bad at this game as I was before I took a break. Can't wait to get last place in QF2

Alex must be on a promise to be starting early!
