As an aside I would like to do a broadcast of the results on discord on election night (which would be tuesday september first), but this may partially depend on how much interest/attendance there would be for that. I'd assume it would be starting somewhere around 14:00 TST/21:00 CEST on september first. How many of you think they might be able to tune in for a bit?

How many of you think they might be able to tune in for a bit?

I'll pass, I wouldn't be really able to join anyway, we would still be on our way home.

Quick edit: I didn't realise that the date was 1 September, my bad.

Unlikely, I'm travelling in the afternoon, not sure if I'll be home to 21 CEST.

Last years winner did not make it to the final directly and has a long way to go to repeating last years performance.

Message in a Bottle is the fifth song from last years top 20 to be eliminated.

Have You Ever Seen the Rain is a new nomination and immediately enters the top 20 as the highest scoring new nomination this year.

Child in Time and Taxman would also be debuting in the top 20 if they survive the semifinal.

For Street Spirit this is the first final, although it has made the top 20 before.
