Time to give my reaction...
- Not too surprised. It was arguably the weakest of AQ's. Won't be too surprised if another AQ finishes 26th again.
- Again, kind of predicted it
- I was pretty surprised that it got through, but it was alright as a song
- My
, but I never expected it to win
- I thought this had a small chance of winning, but I found it kind of annoying so w/e
- Didn't think this would be so low
- Oh well. Congratulations on making it back after 6 editions
- Still have no idea how this qualified
- Expected this to be in the bottom 5. At least it's not as bad as Spain's last AQ song
- I gave this
in the semis, but it grew on me a lot and I gave it
in the final. Still happy they qualified again after 3 editions
- Relieved. This was the second worst song in the final imo, after
...ahem, I mean
(sorry, easy mistake)
- Never liked the song, but happy the home team got a decent position
-
. It's their best position in a while, I suppose.
-
-
. Really happy this made the top half
-
I thought this would be AQ. Or at least have beaten Little White Lie
- I forgot I was in the final tbh
. Thanks for voting me into the top half three times
Nine good songs in the top 10 (stg if
wins
)
- I gave this
in the semis. Still convinced it's about Ivanka Trump
- Way better than their last song. Glad
didn't get 9th again
-
. Congrats on doing well again
- Pretty good song, even though I didn't vote for it. Sweden can into semis
How is
still in?
- Didn't expect this to be so high. Looks like
missed out on this big time.
Just realised 5 of the top 6 are Commonwealth countries
YES!!! YES!!!! THANK YOU FOR NOT GIVING FIRST PLACE TO THIS GARBAGE!!!!! so fucking relieved...
-
. Their best up until now was 6th, I believe?
- I didn't vote for this but it came close to my top 10. Still don't get the bizarre video choice. Was there not another Kadebostany video you could have used?
I said in my semi-final reaction that I thought
had a good chance of being AQ, and I thought
was an obvious choice for the victory. Who will the winner be?
...
...
My
gets second place again! Congrats on your best result yet.
My
. It was pretty obvious, but I'm not too bothered. Dua Lipa has competed for three different countries and she finally wins
.
On the other hand...NO!!! Another country has two wins!!! It's bad enough being tied with Taiwan
Thank you to
for

Semi-final 1
I had a feeling these would be borderline. Happy Croatia did much better in the final
- Only 4 points if you take away the
's
Semi-final 2
Only qualified by
. Poland deserved it way more imo (the song wasn't overused when radek started the selection)
Semi-final 3
Thank you to
for
,
(pretty sure that's Monaco)
for
and
for
in the semis
Only made it by
10 points margin between 5th and 13th place
And after the victory of New Rules, there's an announcement with new rules eyyyy (shoot me) -
Happy that
could be joining, but what's the point of the PC term at the end? We don't refer to Taiwan as Chinese Taipei
Not sure about this 'primary ethnicity' without approval rule - seems kind of unrealistic that
could use Kendji Girac without approval for example. Also, does this mean
can borrow from
Liguria, because Monegasque is a dialect of Ligurian.
From my memory, I've only sent one cover (and it flopped) so I'm not too bothered by this.
Btw, it says in the rules that
can borrow from France, and
can borrow from
. Did you forget to update it, or did you change your mind?
