Work that walk in the intro.    Of course they're the top 2, but they're deserving of it. They, along with  Tennessee and  Texas, are big music centers. I'm shocked voting was all over the place. I wish I had voted. I'm sorry I didn't this time.   Alabama was underrated.  See you in California next year! |

Since I already commented on the final on YT, I'll comment on the semis here I don't really get why Oklahoma qualified. Why did you vote at all if you wanted the fans to have more of a say? When you made the mistake with Ohio I assumed they were 12th in the semis, but they were actually 5th? I can't remember flagpennsylavia 's entry so I don't know if they deserved 0 points or not. I can remember hating Idaho and Kentucky so I'm not surprised they only got  |

The difference between 50SS and this forum's contests is that half the voters aren't familiar with ESC. I voted in both semis. SF2 got significantly less votes than SF1 and so I felt like I needed to provide the additional support, and I voted in everything last year, too. If we were getting 20+ sets of votes, I wouldn't have to participate. It also didn't help when my RL best friend votes after weeks of pleading him... and he says his favorite song was Oklahoma  Counting the points was a manual process. I failed to count your  from Ohio, and someone else's  for Washington. It was such an embarrassing mistake, probably the most embarrassing mistake I made this year. Because of the low amount of SF2 votes I received, it made a huge difference. I triple-checked the votes after I recorded the whiteboard video to make sure my math was right. So I have to find a replacement process for counting votes next year. We got plenty of interest, but it's the voting process that's turning people off. |
