Okay so where do I start?
QF
Oh well this was expected. Nice track but too weak for this QF
How did this end up prelast?? Are you all alright? This deserved to be in the semis at least
This song bangs but it's too unoriginal and kinda deserved to NQ from the QF. If this was sent directly in the semis I wouldn't mind if it qualified ngl
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU FOR LETTING THIS FAIL BY 2 POINTS TO CHAD?... I am speechless
Semi-final 1
This was an expected NQ but last? Undeserved.
This lacked a RV and probably that's why it flopped that much
honestly this was a tune, lowkey enjoyed it but I never saw this escaping bottom 5
robbed ngl
they have so nice native music but sent this? No thank you
Wasn't a bit fan of this but I'm glad this escaped bottom 5
this was my 11th of the semi. one of their best entries, so it's underrated I'd say
robbery again. maybe if you used a different drop in the recap
one of their best entries in the contest, sad to this being robbed
eh this was good but 11th is a reasonable place for it
Semi-final 2
expected and saw this coming. maybe with a good RV it would done a bit better?
Gabon being Gabon, nothing new. saw this coming [2]
Guinea being Guinea, nothing new. saw this coming [3]
now this is robbed. this was such a cool banger
this managing to qualify from QF is already too much. should have ended last in the semi. such a waste of a QF spot ngl
this was average but glad they escaped bottom 5
eh this was alright
this was tune I bopped to it a bit. Hope they can go back to their glory era again
not a fan of this so seeing this high is surprising for me, but congrats I guess
this was such a late grower for me. Wouldn't mind see it qualify now, but idk which country i'd replace it with.
Final
this was expected
this was a bit underrated. I liked the drop of the song
the most robbed AQ entry, deserved midtable at least imo
this was ok, expected result
[2]
now that's a robbery. at least they finally qualified but this deserved a bit better
not the weakest AQ scoring the better...
what went wrong here? This grew on me that much that it became my favorite song of the final. I don't think it got lost in the final so idk why it scored that low. Jail for not letting this get left side at least
expected and deserved result
I hoped this to get higher, but congratulations for your best result
this was good ethnic song, deserved and expected result. Congratulations for your best result [2]
this song bangs and annoys me at the same time. a deserved placement
grew off me so seeing this just missing out the left side is alright
not her strongest entry so expected and deserved result as well
grew off me again but that RV made some unlimited points. still a solid track
so glad this did better than expected. Although I wanted it in the top 10. Almost ended up voting for it but I could only pick 10 songs...
I hoped this would finally bring them an AQ, especially after winning the semi. Good streak but a bit underrated
another entry I hoped would AQ but unfortunately it didn't. But I'm glad they are in the top 10 at least
a really sweet song, a late grower for me. I wanted to vote for it but there wasn't enough space for more songs.
unpopular opinion but so glad this finished in top 10. Just missing out an AQ again in their second final is harsh
the most overrated song of the edition. There is nothing that I like about it, it's rather annoying. Almost like Zarraf
I don't see the appeal? this is midtable for me, seeing this AQ is surprising for me, but congrats nonetheless
talented, brilliant, amazing, etc. I'm glad to see some local talent do that well in an edition filled with diaspora songs. Congratulations this is totally deserved. And the song keeps growing more and more
I instantly fell in love with this song when it was revealed, then it grew off me a bit in the final, then I voted and grew on me again. If I would have voted now it would have gotten more than 200 points. But congratulations for finally taking this country out of the NQ zone. If only their old HoD used this suggestion 2 editions ago it could have won.
well this is where it gets interesting. Being one of the most scoring entries in the modern Own Contests is something I should really be proud of but looking at this margin and how I am the closest runner-up to win makes me really sad. This was probably my only chance to ever win this contest. But I guess that's just my luck and my fault for keeping this song for the strongest edition
Anyway thank you everyone for your support and for your votes, especially
,
,
and others for smaller points as well
Special credit go to Non (for letting me know that they are eligible for Ghana) and for Chante for suggesting them too, even if I already was aware of them. Yeah I actually had one of their songs shortlisted for my OASC selection but it didn't make the final. But I had no idea back then they were from Ghana.
After all the situations with Mauritania "stealing" your artists and after Seychelles winning with one of your artists too, you finally did it on your own. This is a deserved victory nonetheless, even if I'm still bitter. Love you anyway. Looking forward to work with you and I'm sure you'll do a great contribution to the council for the next edition. Another thing that makes me happy is that I didn't vote myself out so there's nothing to blame myself
See you in
Dakar!

Congratulations to our neighbours. Probably the closest the contest ever will be to Gambia, but nevertheless easily one of the best song of this edition. No surprise here. Can’t wait to go to Senegal!
I expected this to finish in the top 10 tbh
