SF1:
Yas. <33
So happy to see this advance. Loving the African representation.
Good.
Your first edition with the UK is going well so far. Well done.

It's an okay song, not Faouzia's most outstanding, but her results in past NNMC editions have been mixed here.
I really thought this could've made it. It kinda slaps.
I really enjoyed this banger. Sad it didn't qualify.
It's nice, but I was also whelmed.
For a more upbeat entry, this one failed to stand out.
This was good, but it wasn't a standout either.
Oh, I had to watch the recap again to remember what their song sounded like. I suppose that meant it was forgettable. The song itself is okay.
This failed to stand out, too.
DEVASTATED. ROBBED. This song is MILES better than "Breakup Rituals" and last edition's entry! I thought this was a sure Q.
It stood no chance, but it was kinda cool.
SF2:
Not called last this time (but first instead hehe). In recent times when Mihai has undersold his entries, they end up qualifying. Well done.
(ID) Slay.
IT'S BEEN SO LONG!!! WELCOME BACK TO THE GRAND FINAL!!! Your non-qualification streak has officially ended. <333 After several injustices, you were overdue for another qualification.
(MC) Interesting.

... ... It's just not Nailah's best song. It's not on par with "Boujee" imo.
ROBBED. What kind of song does Austria need to qualify? This was their best entry in a long time. Were people turned off by the heavy autotune? It was done right imo. And that beat! What a banger.
Very interesting track, but it got lost in the shuffle of such high-caliber songs in this semifinal.
I was underwhelmed.
I really thought this could've made it. It's actually good. A shame to see this go.
A very interesting song. Not very catchy, but interesting. In a weaker semi, it could've qualified, but it was just so competitive.
I have a soft spot for this, and I had some hope it would qualify, but it unfortunately got drowned out in the end.
Really good song. It would've deserved to advance, too.
Like Italy, I was also underwhelmed.
Another song in the "could've qualified" category.
Honestly, some of these songs would belong in a Grand Final because there was serious quality here. Keep it up!
SF3:
Thank you for voting for Philippines if you did. So happy to qualify with this bop. <333
That is one powerful ballad. Deserved to qualify very much.
Yas. <33
It's always so cool to hear songs people from (or at least descending from) obscure countries. This qualification is so deserved.
Interesting.

It's nice and ethnic, but that shallow drop left a lot to be desired.
Mariah's Pop would've qualified, guaranteed. I would've given it high points. Instead, we got something bland and safe. I said what I said.
Underwhelmed. Nice to see a more modern side to Qatar's music scene though.
These were never going to qualify. Incredibly uninspiring filler. That wasn't very kind, so I want to apologize for the harshness that comment came off. I just couldn't see them qualify at all.
Ouch. Like yeah, it's Kylie (and Years & Years), but they can both go much harder than this.
This was kinda touching. I wouldn't have minded this qualifying tbh.
Is it me or are these edgy-sounding entries sounding the same? I'm having a hard time remembering this.
This was cool, but it wasn't outstanding enough to qualify I think.
