SEMIFINALS:
Philippines, Thailand, and Singapore all placing 10th in the semis is ASEAN-phobic. Thank you Indonesia for not making our region a total loss.
A bit interesting, but there was no tangible hook for me to feel invested in this song though. I understand the last place.
Would've been kinda funny to see Trinidad last again. I personally do not think this is final-worthy, especially if "Boujee" didn't qualify all those editions ago. Too niche.
My . I know it's a Brazilian banger by Pabllo Vittar herself, but I realized in hindsight this failed to stand out.
Don't really care for it. It's in the same boat as Trinidad for me.
So underrated. The vocals are divine. It was my 11th in the final.
Good entry. Suits the stylings of the artist, but it's not the most remarkable.
Hyperpop is a catch 22 genre. It's hard to find songs like this to be catchy or have replay value.
My . This is BESS' better song than her campier UMK entry.
Four sets of 12 points, but placing this low. I personally meh with this. It's not Loic's best, but hearing him sing in French is new.
Don't care for it. Like it's sonically nice, but it lacks a great hook to capture my attention.
Too middle of the road of songs in this final, so I guess a mid-table result is warranted.
Yes, it bangs. No, I don't find myself wanting to replay it.
How do you win your semifinal than flop this hard? Not the first time it's happened though. I like this song, but it's a sounds I've heard before.
My . I do agree with some folks that her other entry this year is far better. This is still incredible though. Dana is a true artist.
My . Very good host entry. Love the beat and attitude.
I feel the Middle Eastern flavor with this banger. It's great. Could've top 10'd and I wouldn't have minded.
My . This slay of a song is everything. Didn't think I would hear this kind of track from Peru. Strong instrumental, vocals that are full of grit. I'm enamored by the uniqueness and quality it delivers. Should've Top 10'd.
Thought this was a shoe-in for the Top 10 after all the hype, but looking at the scores at this points, the race was excruciatingly close. I like this one a lot.
Finished way higher than I expected, but it's interesting to say the least. I saw the potential.
This gets a shrug from me. Not enough energy to get me engaged with the song. Congratulations on the Top 10 finish though.
Out of all the electro-club bangers this edition, I think this is among the best. I'm fine with this finishing 9th.
My . Ireland executed this kind of sound the way Hong Kong didn't. The production packs a punch and the melody helps the whole song stand out. Well done.
MY ! Slay the house down boots. I am obsessed. I am going to dance to this almost every time this song plays somewhere. I am obsessed. I am living. Biggest robbery since Markisa. Thank you for sending this entry.
A very strong pop ballad. I felt the emotion, the intensity, the attitude! Another song that came close to my Top 10. Well done, Taiwan!
A decent metal song. I've heard songs that sound like this before, but I don't ignore the quality. "Stardust" (and "See Me In A Shadow", but that's old af) is still Delain's best songs for me, but 5th place is respectable for their latest track.
This was on the verge of NQing throughout the semifinals, so to see this miraculously qualify in 8th place and then finish in 4th... I can't imagine the huge loss we would've had with this bop. Well done on reaching 4th place.
My . Yay! Nicki Minaj reached the Top 3. Dare I say the best WC anthem since "Waka Waka"? It's catchy as hell, it's a banger, and it lives up to being the anthem it was assigned to be. Well done to this song!
My . Yasss.... I would've been so happy if this had won, too, but you did shoot yourself in the foot by giving your 12 points to Benin. Still, one of Senidah's best songs. So happy for this result, though it's kinda a bummer that Montenegro has placed second in so many contests and I have not seen it win yet. Congratulations on reaching 2nd place with this banger.
My . What's with our most recent winners winning by close margins? Welcome to the winners' circle, Mihai! I believe this is your first win? Your patience has paid off! From the moment you posted this, I was captivated. This was accessible, anthemic, and empowering. One of the best African NNMC entries I've heard for sure. Congratulations!
