Fun fact: I, a moment before the end of part 1, was like "Oh that's a close one. Maybe we'll finally get a winner that's decided by the last voter. And well that's exactly what happened lol. 


Now that's what I call a successful debut! Congrats to Ron for that. Also yay for the first time in a while it's a winner I like.
Good song (it'll definitely go right into my playlist if possible) and not an undeserved result either. However for me it now appears to be a bit too basic and would've preferred Portugal and Belgium to complete the podium.
Wow That's a pleasant surprise (but I also kind of expected this song to do well). Congrats for tying your best result ever (it only took 80 editions lol). It's only my 19th in the final (and I find it overrated) lol, but I'm happy for Clive.

The results are generally pretty good not gonna lie. For example I'm happy that  Belgium, Portugal, Hungary, and the Philippines coming top 10. And the only ones I consider to be overrated are  Malta (as already mentioned) and Azerbaijan, whereas Greece and France should've imo reached the top 20.

I was never expecting a lot and Milambi was never going to place outside the bottom 2. What I didn't expect is to have received 43 points. Also I like the points Japan received.

Wow, I did not really expect to advance to the first half, let alone to make it to top 10, which had only happened in the 66th edition the last time.. Thanks to all the players that gave Azerbaijan their votes, and especially to Ethiopia for the maximum 12 points

Synthycat is an absolutely unknown artist in Azerbaijan; I have recently discovered them after researching how Azerbaijani metal band Mechanic Fist (represented Azerbaijan in WWWSC) ended up after splitting up. This one-man project was created by one of the former Mechanic Fist members, and is engaged in producing techno, house and epic music at the moment. "Wet Vibes" is an hour-long-techno/house-track which I have recently been listening to a lot; and most of it is actually instrumental music. I thought of giving this song a chance in the WWWSC, not knowing the results would be successful. 

Thank you to also Florian for the in the Semi-Final (as well as in SCR) and Jozef and Anthony for the in the Second Chance Round. 

With regards to overall results, I am not much pleased given I did not vote for any of the songs from top 10. I consider Austria; Czech Republic; Cyprus; and Taiwan particularly underrated. Unfortunately, however, there was not a single song in the Final round that appealed to my music taste. 

Congratulations to Ron for a successful debut, and everyone who is satisfied with their results. Thanks to Mimis and Florian for once another nice edition and see you soon in Finland

 Malta top 3 yaaaas it was my winner and i was scared it would be robbed but it wasn't A song like that from Malta is really rare so good job !

Also very happy for  Azerbaijan reaching the top 10 well deserved

My whole top 3 came top 13 overall so it's amazing (still sad about  Iceland staying in the semis )

The winner is good congrats to the player for his win on his debut, i almost achieved this last edition for my debut too ahahah.

See you in Finland !

Oh wow! 7th place is a great result! I've never been able to pick the right pop songs, but now I'm seeing progress. This is strange since I consider the WWW contest to be more alternative than the NNM. Or maybe it's just temporary luck.

It was hard to vote, so Finland did not have enough points, but the song is good - congratulations! And I'm sorry for Canada, I thought this song was supposed to win...

Thank you to everyone who voted for Ukraine and Nadia!  There is an idea in the next edition to send Nadya's husband and my countryman Vova Dantes, but I will think about it.

Thank you for hosting, everything was great! And see you in the new season!

This is my comeback since a few years ago and I certainly had fun this edition. The voting system was so tense and I screamed when I get 12 points from Czech Republic & Netherlands

Also thank you to everyone who gave a vote to Singapore (Taiwan, Azerbaijan, Italy, Belgium, Cyprus, South Africa, Japan, Iceland, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Latvia, Chile—thank you!) and I'm happy with the result.

Congratulations to Finland! See you in the next edition!

8th place! Thank you so much to those that voted Philippines! As KZ was born and raised in the country, it's great to see that Philippines is capable of getting a Top 10 result without relying on diaspora artists. And if I'm right, I think I got the most sets of in this final (with five from ), so that's something. I will continue to share the talent of my country.

Listening to this, it was among my favorites. Vesala is my favorite Finnish artist right now, and this song is no exception. Congratulations on winning, Rontti!
Good songs to fill the rest of the podium.
Very very pleased they placed in the top 10. Portugal was my 12 points, and Azerbaijan's song has become one of my favorites to come from this country.

The hype for this died down quickly.
So underrated.

See you in Finland! It seems a lot of the contests in this forum are heading to the cold countries (namely Russia, Norway, and now Finland).

Thanks to everyone for voting for Cyprus - the 19th place is fine, although having finished 2nd in my semi final, I guess I could have expected to do a bit better... In any case, thanks to everyone for their points and especially to Taiwan for their

A decent winner! Very good song so I'm glad to see it winning! Well done to Ron!
I personally preferred her #81 entry to be honest... The song was not bad but it didn't stand out much for me.  Congratulations in any case!
If there is 1 word that could describe this country in this contest, that would be 'robbed' as I really feel like they've sent many awesome songs but never got the appreciation they deserved. It's quite sad how they needed 88 editions (it's been the same player since day 1) but at least they have finally made it to the TOP 3! Knowing the semi finals results, I personally thought this was going to be their moment and a great chance for them and they were even leading until the last day of the voting, when the voters just changed everything.
It is an alright song but the final was in general quite tough so it wasn't strong enough to get any points from me. Still, well done for this result!
Seems like the country likes to go for this artist and he's been successful again with a TOP 5 position. Personally I find it overrated - it's a good song but nothing special imo.
Very happy this did well! It's a very good song!
Not a fan of this to be honest - it sounded a bit annoying to me in the recap to be honest
Congratulations on another TOP 10 placement! I personally didn't like this though
From the 2nd Chance Round to the TOP 10 of the Grand Final - really can't say it was undeserved!
Wasn't expecting this to be in the TOP 10 to be honest... I didn't really like it so I guess it was overrated imo.
Obviously congratulations for the best result since #64 and after many failures. However, I find it quite sad that the country's 2 most recent qualifications have only been with diaspora artists - I am sure there are local artists with songs that could potentially qualify and do well...
I personally think this was overrated. So far, I've only seen the country going for artists who are technically French with Algerian parents and I understand there are loads of those but I would personally also like to hear something from a local Algerian singer... We already have France in the contest, I don't think we need a 2nd one.
Close to getting points from me but eventually missed out of my list. I guess I agree with its result.
This is such a beautiful song Really wish it could do better but such a result is good enough for this kind of entries anyway.
Still have mixed feeling about this - I find it catchy but at the same time it is a bit annoying. I suppose I agree with its final result anyway.
Probably around where I'd rank this as well!
Really underrated This is such a good song, really deserved much better!
Guess I would rank it slightly higher but not too much - maybe around 14th or something?
This was really fun so I kinda wish it did better but its result is not too bad, given it's a host entry and those do not always tend to be very successful
Expected this to do better to be honest. It wasn't a bad song for sure but I think it got lost for me in the recap - maybe its #1 slot in the running order didn't help either.
This was also very underrated! Such a nice song
I am not sure why but I liked this song, although I usually don't vote for such entries. This somehow caught my attention... I guess it was underrated
I obviously found it underrated but then again it was a 2nd Chance Round qualifier that only sneaked in the TOP 3 there at the very last few hours, so such a result was rather predictable.
This was my 11th place in the final. I personally find it underrated here, despite not giving it anything.
I also find this underrated, really didn't deserve to be so close to the bottom. Seems like Poland can only do well after qualifying from the 2nd Chance Round
Just like with Greece, this low placing was not very unexpected but I didn't think it would actually be last.

See you next edition everyone!
