Festival Di Soldi - Semi Final 1 - Playlists & Recap CLOSES WEDNESDAY 10TH JUNE 12PM

[Soldi]

Well you eager fans, we’ve made it and tonight the first nineteen artists will head onto the stage singing for YOUR votes. From Ghana to Gilead and India to the Ivory Coast, there should be something for everyone to enjoy.

I shall post the link to the YouTube playlist just before half past, and as one we’ll all hit play at the same time (so don’t be that silly cow that presses play two minutes early).

We should be done and dusted within an hour or so, and at the end I’ll post the Spotify playlist that you can give a whirl over the next week.

Voting will also open after the last song has finished. Anyone, participants and non-participants are able to send me their votes, using the 12-1 Eurovision point system. Of course participants can’t vote for themselves and participants must vote in the semi-final they’re competing in or will be deducted 58 points (the total number of points each voter gives out).

Voting for the first semi-final will close at 12PM next Wednesday (10 June). The results of both semi-finals will be revealed the following evening.

01 Portugal - Ariana & The Rose - Nightowl
02 Antigua & Barbuda - Hikaru Utada - Hikari
03 Ghana - Bree Runway - What Do I Tell My Friends?
04 Australia - Frances Cone - Wide Awake
05 Gilead - OMFG - Hello
06 Uruguay - Pink Fantasy - Fantasy
07 Saint Pierre & Miquelon - Frida Sundemo - Indigo
08 Ivory Coast - Matteo Marcus Bok - In The Middle
09 Georgia - Metric - Love You Back

I'm keeping my eye on FIJI

 

[GinAg (39)]

I'm curious to see the direction people went after ASFM. Obviously electropop generally did very well but I wonder if Alla's entry will have impact.

 

[GinAg (39)]

@Soldi Do you know how long it will be?

 

[Soldi]

One hour and ten minutes according to the Spotify playlist.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I presume the YouTube is a little longer.

How thrilling.

 

[Diddy]

How many will make it through to the final?

 

[GinAg (39)]

I'd assume 10.

 

[OutSynk]

I think he said 12.

 

[Soldi]

12 in each, so a 24 country final

 

[Lucille]

Pre-emptively rooting for KIRIBATI.

I do think that tomorrow’s show is a lot more varied, not that tonight’s isn’t of course!
