Overall I think the most polished songs made it to the final.

Just a note that I didn't listen to all the songs in full so some reactions may not be accurate.

Aww, pretty sad this bop didn't qualify Great video too.
Nice chill song. Really sad that they haven't qualified yet tho.
Aww. [2] It was nice as well. Hopefully they'll qualify in the future.
Not really my thing but it's tolerable.
It's cute. I like the vibes in this song.
It's cute. [2] Pretty nostalgic too it gave me like 2012/2013 vibes lol.

Aww. [3] I liked this too. It has a great vibe to it. Hopefully they'll qualify again.
Not really surprised but still really sad. ;_; It has a great medieval vibe to it. This kinda reminded me of a hidden-object video game I used to play back in like 2013 or something. The video game was set in 13th century and has Christian elements to it. The game was super fun to play and this song would sound like a great soundtrack for it. Idk it just reminded me of that game and thought I had to share it lol. Anyways, sad for their NQ and sad they haven't qualified yet.
Really like this. It's chill and smooth. Could've qualified.
It grew on me. It's pretty abstract and different. Could've qualified. [2]

Even though not all of my top 10 did qualify, I'm really happy with all the qualifiers from my semi. My 11th and 12th also qualified to which I both really like so...

I didn't vote in the other semi but I'm very sad to see NQ.

Really happy for these countries! (Especially the very former since I sent a floppy song from them back in edition one. )

Now I wonder where next edition will be held. Hmmm... Port Louis? Lagos maybe? Praia and Tripoli would be cute too.

Anyways, see y'all in the final and hope y'all are enjoying Bissau.

Extremely happy to keep my Q streak, thanks a lot!

Overall I’m pretty satisfied with the qualifiers, almost all my favourites made it.

The only shock of this result show. I thought this was a sure qualifier since it is so good, but I guess I must be wrong
Also pretty sad for   All of them were good tbh.

Well it was kinda expected but happy I got to send the artist.

This is one of the best songs to come out of South Africa, my favourite of the edition and one of my favourite songs of all time, robbed and really disappointed this failed to qualify.
I really like Blood Orange and all the songs from the album this song is from, again robbed and really disappointed it failed.

From my semi I'm sad for which were all robbed, but it was a strong semi.
