A brief look in the semifinals results before I go into the final results.
Would've Q'd without the rest of the world voting. So close!
Literally only one country in the semi gave you points. Kinda crazy.
NQ-ing by one point. Ouch.
And you NQ'd by two points. Ouch.
It's rare that a non-AQ is last in the final. You scored pretty well for a last-place entry. However, you did
not deserve last place! You've done so well with Liechtenstein. This song is no exception, and I gave this
. You should've been in the top 10.
Ugh. Another underrated entry. Why are you so low, too?
Shocked to see it this low actually considering it's Bree Runway.
Then again, you were 8th in the semi. Overall, I'm indifferent to this.
Now here's a real shock: you placed 3rd in your semi, so 27th is quite low based on your semifinal placement. It's not a strong electronic entry, however.
For an AQ entry, this is really good. I think you're placed too low here.
How could this happen? You were 2nd in your semi! However, I kinda forgot about this, but it's unique at least.
This is a cool song, but in the final, this is middle of the road for me.
and ROBBED. This song is so awesome. You should be in the top 10!
A bop. Very interesting, almost edgy, which justifies its placement. But a bop anyways.
For a song that also placed third in the semifinal, 21st is disappointingly low. It's a great song and should be higher.
Thank the rest of the world for helping you qualify (over Albania). I enjoy this track, but it's placed just right.
Very good placement as host entry. Such a beautiful song, and you got 4 sets of 12 points for it.
After all the hype it received, kinda shocked to see it place here. Iran, continue to slay.
Nice to hear new music from Loreen. It's a good song.
flagguadelou- I mean
I enjoy this a lot. Not one of Annalisa's best, but she's consistently good.
This was the biggest grower of the edition for me. It grew so much that during the voting, I changed my mind and gave this my
after initially giving it 10 points. Probably the most emotional entry I've ever heard in NNMC. I love it so much. Aleks, your Arab entries are winning me over.
It's really nice to see a traditional side of Korean music, even if it's incorporated in hip hop. It's really cool.
My
.
It's nice to see USA not flop for once, and for that being my suggestion, too.
Personally, not one of my favorites. It's one of the more overrated songs this edition based on this result. It's nice, but I know there's better (imo) for France.
A huge grower. I wouldn't have minded this in the top 10.
I love this Top 10 for the most part.
My
and my favorite Belarusian entry to date. Top 10 is deserved.
I'm surprised to see this finish high. Not in my personal top 10, but congrats. It's a cute song.
This is a banger that is uniquely Peruvian, and it deserves to have done this well.
My
. No doubt Little Big's best song in NNMC after their past NQ's. It's a bop and deserves a great result.
I did not think that you placing 9th in the semifinal, barely qualifying by 2 POINTS, would lead to you placing 6th, but I'm glad. I gave you
. I guess it wasn't sent last month because it was meant to be sent this month. Everything happens for a reason. Well done, Ivo.
Certainly one of the favorites to win, and I gave it
to help with that. 5th place is great.
Norway becoming a powerhouse? Well done, Gregory! This narrowly missed out on my top 10, but it's still a great song. I'm so happy for you.
This was the most crucial part of the results (imo). It was a fight for 3rd place since the top 2 pulled away. Any change in the votes would've affected the outcome for 3rd place, and...
Thank Selvin. Also thank Kevin and superjonno. Without their replacement votes, you may not have AQ'd.
You deserve to AQ though with this banger of a track. I gave it
. Also, this is Denmark's best result (iirc) to date! Congratulations!
So this actually isn't one of my favorite songs, but I like to root for countries to win for the first time, so seeing Poland do so well makes me so proud for Radek, since he's had it from the very beginning of NNMC. I just know a win is going to come for Poland soon. Congratulations, Radek.
July 2016. That was when Gilberto debuted with Turkmenistan in NNMC in the 6th edition. He placed last and would NQ constantly, until he reached a milestone in the 12th edition, when Turkmenistan qualified for the first time ever. Soon, in the 16th edition, he'd achieve Turkmenistan's then-best result... a 2nd place! I thought it's going to be a looooong time until Turkmenistan will probably get a result that great. Well, after sending some bops, flops, and Amalia, it finally happened! I always admired seeing you sticking with a musically obscure country like Turkmenistan for almost five years now. When you said you were excited to send "Aldama," I had a feeling it was going to have a promising result, but to win? I personally didn't see it coming because I've never seen Turkmenistan do so well in years.
However, this was my
, meaning I loved the song. Congratulations, Gilberto!
