We have 32 countries in this edition now. I don't know about you lot, but I'm contemplating doing a semi-final with how many countries there are.

If you all want a semi-final to take us from 32 to a final of 20, or if you want a final of 32 songs, please let me know. I'll add extra days in to make the semi-final work (if you all want it to happen).

Hmm, 32 in a final could be interesting and points will be spread out more to make it less predictable?

But I wouldn’t be opposed to a semi final. As long as we don’t know the points until it’s all over (like real Eurovision). Maybe if you do semi final we lose just enough to leave 20 plus any of the big 5/host (and if a big five isn’t chosen drop it from the game?)

No actually I’d rather all songs in the final if it stays at 31/32.

fun fact about the dutch artist, she has a past in junior songfestival (dutch selection for junior eurovision)

in this group, with this entry




nowadays she's extremely popular and one of our most mainstream artists and another fact, starring besides Roxy in the music video is Linda De Mol, basically THE dutch tv queen in game shows like Ik Hou van Holland and for her acting work as one of the leads in the mega popular series Gooische Vrouwen (and the respective films which were also made of that series)

…I’ve already changed one of my entry choices once…(…I won’t say which one…)…I have three that are ok and one that I’m pretty obsessed with because I totally love it, it’s such a find……I’ve tried to choose more Eurovision-ish songs that represent the country but aren’t well known ones/kind of in the spirit …but then just because I’ve not been familiar with them, doesn mean that others won’t be …I might just not be up with an artist/song…

…anyway, it’s fun to look for those less known songs and artists because you can have some real ‘finds’ along the way and discover some great sounds…

…I’m trying to stop myself from looking because I know that I’ll probably just keep changing them and mither-ing Josiah and then overthinking whether I should have changed it or if I like the previous one more…it’s never ‘just choosing a song’ is it…it’s an agonising process…

Asja is very well known for her collabs with Alex Christensen (from eurodance project ATC)
