I'm not often post here, but thank you guys for the 14th NQ in a row.
After over 1 year not in the Final, i will think about to witdrawn.
Roseland is 13 years in this NSC, it is my heart and my soul, thinking of give up really breaks heart. Maybe is 13 years is enough, but to make a final it is really difficult.
Actually doesn't want to give up Roseland, but it is game, if you lose everytime, you lose your passionate for this game at a point.
I hope i can figure it out soon, I don't dare to make a final decision yet.
I just felt the need to share my thoughts.

I understand the feeling completly. The last 20 editions, I have qualified only 4 times. It is a rough time for sure and you feel really hopeless. Sure, my song might not be one to fight for the win, I knew that when I sent it, but I hoped at least to qualify with it, since it was a fun, summerish, catchy tune, that might have brought a smile or two.
But I would say to keep trying for a little bit longer. Suddenly you just gotta find that song that suddenly hits it. Like I did with Dadi Freyr or with Rebekka Karijord that both ended top 10 during this dark time. Give it a few more editions, use that time to think it through at least, before making a decision at least. That is what I do, when I feel down.

But congratulations to everyone who made it through though and thanks @iowacorn for a great show!

Roseland is one my favourite nations in NSC.
Don't withdraw, or I'll scream. Indefinitely.
Join me in the underrated nation club. Let's have a drink.

I do not accept this post and never will. Do not dare leave me - we already lost , I could not stand such a core Pot 1 nation disappearing from NSC.

I know how it feels, I've had tons of moments like that. Look at my overall record: I've had more flops than successes in the 8 years that I've been part of the main roster (finishing last in the semis 9 times), in 2021 and 2022 combined I only qualified a total of 4 times. I had a couple of times where I felt so disappointed that I really did want to quit.

But you know what? I didn't. I still have a lovely note Gary sent me from when I was at a low point early in my time on the main roster, telling me to not to lose hope. Sometimes I need to read it to find more motivation.

This year has been my best yet as of now, 3 out of the last 4 editions I qualified (in fact, any time I qualify after a long DNQ streak is a win for me, because I didn't stop trying). I'm going to keep going until I really achieve my ultimate goal: my first-ever NSC victory. And to get there, I just need to be in the right place at the right time with the right song.

So I say keep going Fabi, and don't give up!

 

[Veronika]

Ooooh thanks everyone for making this qualification happen! Just beyond happy about it!
"Over Horizon" is one of my favorite songs for ages, and it's so great to realize that NSC appreciated it!
Congrats to all the fellow qualifiers also!

Here are the DNQ votes from :

SF1 (regular)





SF2 (reju)








Thanks to @iowacorn for this creative result show!

 

[ferret]

Oh, I'm so glad! Each of our finals is like compensation for moral damage (for example, 3 days in a row I slept 2-3 hours a night because of massive rocket-drone attacks, but I know that very soon the boomerang will fly...
Thank you to everyone who voted for New Bander State and for our first Greek NSC entry!







Slagensala

I know a lot have added to this but I just wanted to say Roseland are being so robbed in NSC at the moment and your nonqual streak has not gone unnoticed as an injustice. Some recent entries would've fought for my final 12 and haven't made it unfortunately, I totally understand if you leave but I really want you to keep going and keep sharing the wonderful Roselandic music
