Disappointed to have missed the results show but overall I'm really happy with the results! Long reaction post incoming fhsjfhs
What a rollercoaster of an edition! From having no hopes of qualifying to the point I’d already written what I was going to say, to somehow making it through but thinking I was 10th in the semi (well I wasn’t wrong lmao) and destined for the bottom three, to finishing last at the end of the first half and then finishing fifteenth with 200 points??? I just want to thank everyone who has voted for
Lebanon and "Enti Ana" this edition, especially to
Albania for your jury
and
Morocco and
Tunisia for your televote
Happy to send another song I love, not flopping is an added bonus, and excited to start thinking about what direction to take next edition!
I never really understood the hype for this but it’s nonetheless a good song (and has grown on me since voting). It’s nice to be going back to Italy after so long – especially as NVSC #19 was the first edition I properly followed NVSC and still one of my favourites. Congratulations William! I hope next edition is as iconic as the legendary boat race
(
16) Such a classy entry and it’s nice to see Sweden back to the top six; would have been an absolutely fantastic winner.
(
17) My favourite Danish NVSC entry ever. This was just fabulous and, while I knew it wouldn’t do as well in the televote, I had hoped it would just about maintain its lead. Fourth is a great result, but really it should’ve been even higher because it's stunning.
(
24) I had no choice but to 24 this; it was simply on another level for me compared to everything else in this edition. An absolutely amazing entry and 100% deserving of Monaco’s best ever result; thank you Alex for introducing me to it because I’m sure I’ll be streaming it for months to come. Monaco's powerhouse era incoming
(Honestly it’s lowkey sad to see my top three of the edition all so close to winning but, of course, they are all totally deserving of their AQ spots.)
(
11) “Lose Your Head” was such a lovely entry and totally deserved to AQ, congratulations
(
6) An absolute banger and a massive grower as the edition went on. I’m so glad it got the result it deserved and Spain’s best placing in quite a while.
(
2) This couldn’t be further from my normal music taste but honestly I really enjoyed it; glad to see it do so well. I’m convinced we’re getting the first German victory very soon.
Such a lovely song and totally unique in the line-up. I thought it would place lower but, as I was close to giving it points, I’m very happy to see it do so well!
I was never a huge fan of this and it was just okay for me – not a bad entry by any means and I’m not surprised it finished top 10
I really didn’t expect to enjoy this at all but honestly it was a banger, couldn’t give it points but I’m not mad at all that it did so well.
I wasn’t sure whether this would do really well or tank badly; I was never a huge fan and I think Eleni’s past entries were musically stronger but congratulations anyway!
(
3) I didn’t expect this to do as well as in NNMC but I thought it was a sure top 10 – a really beautiful entry and should’ve placed a little higher </3
It’s great to see San Marino on a Q streak; “Ladro di fiori” wasn’t my favourite but I can totally understand why people like it
(
8) What an absolute banger; so glad it got a decent placement especially after a string of poor results. Congratulations Ilias!
Just using this as a quick opportunity to say thank you once again!
Deserved result; pretty formulaic as far as Romanian music is concerned but it’s a formula that produces bangers so you can’t really complain fhsjghsj
(
12) Like pretty much all of us, I never expected this to qualify but I’m delighted that it did – such a lovely song which suits my music taste perfectly and I’m glad it placed way higher than expected.
(
8) This was underrated; such a unique entry and I really thought it would place higher. </3
(
1) Such a contrast from Manro last edition and I’m really glad it managed to do okay in the voting, although I would’ve liked to see it a little higher. A wonderful host entry
Lowkey a bop; should’ve placed a little higher.
I don’t think the result is unexpected; the song was an unexpected bop and I’m glad it qualified at least
While this grew off me after NNMC, it’s nonetheless a really solid and powerful entry and I don’t think it was bottom six material at all. Rather underrated </3
I had expected this to finish last but I’m pleased to see I was wrong – a decent and respectable entry.
This was probably my least favourite in the final; it’s just not for me unfortunately. </3
(
4) ROBBED. I did not expect this to be so close to last place. This was such a positive surprise for me (to the point I had to ignore realism and give it points fhsjghsj) and I’m sad to see it so low. </3
(
4) ROBBED [1]. I admit that this was rather recap bait-y but it was DEFINITELY not the worst song in the final and I’m shocked to see it so low. Michał, you’re doing amazing anyway and I can’t wait to see what Belgium sends next time
In terms of the NQ’s, I’m really glad that
Lithuania escaped PQR (although I know that they couldn’t PQR next edition anyway fhsjhs) and I’m really sad to see
Turkey pre-last (I can’t believe I gave it almost 1/6 of its points </3).
Poland shouldn’t have PQR’d either and
Portugal being nowhere near qualifying was another big surprise.
All in all, it’s been another great edition with generally decent results so thank you to the NBU! Getting us results so quickly is truly impressive – thank you all for your hard work and dedication. Hopefully I’ll be able to be more active next edition, and see you in
Italy!
