well what an edition that was...firstly i just wanted to re-emphasize how breathtaking the visuals were, especially the grand final opening - it looked like something you'd see in an Olympic opening ceremony and was completely out of this world, as were the grand final intros, and the lower thirds
I definitely appreciate the originality compared to your previous entries however this just really wasn't my thing but I never thought we'd see South Korea coming dead last in the quarter-final :O
sadly this wasn't a shock but it's definitely Kiribati's weakest entry but still a solid attempt and hopefully you'll have your go ra mingo moment soon
we all know that Vietnam has so much better than this as we saw in previous editions so it's disappointing to see such good countries flopping in the quarter-final
sadly there weren't enough spots in the semi-finals to begin with, and I definitely would have liked to see this in the semis as it is a big step up from last edition but hopefully your debut in PSF will help
robbed. This massively deserved to be in not just the semi-finals, but also the final </3 it's so easy to listen to and memorable but I definitely preferred Syria so I would swap this with Hong Kong
oof another last place for them :( sadly this was expected but maybe miss Chong Kwong will work her magic again next edition?
I knew this was destined to be in the bottom 5, but last?? this definitely feels too harsh - definitely robbed although it builds up and then the 'drop' is disappointing - I really hope to see my country reach the semi-finals next edition
definitely knew they would be in the quarter-final but second to last feels too low - the replacement video could have definitely been better to reflect the tempo(?) of the song but this was a solid entry from them
so robbed :(( as I said, I loved the Moroccan elements and this is probably my favourite New Caledonian entry which I would have loved to have seen in the final, but I knew we wouldn't but second to last ?? criminally underrated
So robbed !! how is this bottom 3 of that weaker semi ??? i guess it's because of the artist being overused but still this should have been much higher, in the final even
this was expected sadly - this just doesn't give off the same atmosphere as Let Me Know but hopefully you can escape the qf again next edition
this was a good entry for Brunei - probably their best since Desolate, however I knew this would be around 17th at the upper end of the quarter final zone but third time's the charm? maybe you'll reach the semis next edition?
so robbed - I love the ethnic elements of this and it should not be in the quarter final, especially when that dull song escaped last edition?? but it took too long for the song to build up :(
also massively robbed :(( while I knew this was destined for the quarter final, I would definitely give this a good amount of points now but maybe Miss Dana Salah can save you again next edition? :eyes:
Did not deserve to be in the quarter final but I can see why it flopped :( hopefully we will get another serve like Bondhurey or Mumbai Bounce next ed <3
I'm definitely glad it escaped the quarter final but it's sad to see Laos' 10 edition qualification streak end with a song that was worthy of a place I the final :( the video is iconic (with the excepting of Zarraf)
I have no idea how this escaped the bottom 5 but congrats ahaha - not my thing at all but it's nice to have some diversity
Much better than her last entry but just when I start liking it, the next line comes and it kinda changes? idk if that makes sense but hopefully they can qualify soon
SO robbed - this is actually really good but I'm glad they escaped the quarter final again and hopefully they'll serve again next edition
how on earth this was so high I will never understand but congrats ig? Hopefully we will get to see some ethnic bangers soon
tbh this is a really good result for Bhutan given that last edition was fluke and this was a strong semi - than you to Australia and Samoa for 10 points <3 - this is my second best result as well also thanks again and see you next edition where we have exciting things planned
very happy too see this escape the quarter final as this really wasn't bad and was much better in full
I thought this was AQ material? definitely robbed - her voice is incredible and the song is unique but I really hope we get to see Palestine in the final again soon
especially since Miss Inas X is in the process of dropping several bangers so much better than your #27 entry so it's sad to see this not qualifying but at least you escaped the quarter final again
this timeslot is much better but the song just doesn't really do much for me - compared to her more recent music it's quite underwhelming so I can see why this failed
underrated and robbed? yes but is it iconic how Bhutan qualified last edition to come last in the final and now you did the same? absolutely but this was robbed and hopefully we will be more successful in the future <3
love that she noticed the contest but this really wasn't my thing so this place was expected
aww sad to see this smexy icon in the bottom 3 after doing so well in the first part but this was a solid entry from Tuvalu and we look forward to more bangers in the future
I fully expected it last and it would have been without that random m12 from the rotw lol but it's cute but better in full
so so so robbed?? only two arab countries in the final and one of them is bottom 5? looks like their curse is back - so robbed but our multinational queen's songs for Lebanon and Qatar were better tbh
also so robbed?? what how is this not even top 20?? such a banger
it's good but there were other songs I preferred but it's a good result and it's nice to see them back in the final
and their long qualification streak lives on again - just - but this was a good entry although the srop is underwhelming and hopefully they can keep it up again next time
eh this wasn't really my favourite song and it aged quite quickly after one listen - hopefully we will get to see some new faces representing Japan soon again
underrated banger but she has better icl - maybe they will steal a victory from Ylona in #31 ?
So robbed - my winner of the edition - middle eastern pop like this is pretty much a guaranteed 12 from me lol - I can't believe this was borderline qualifying in both the quarter-final and the semi-final ??? especially when it looked like the safest qualifier of sf1 - the best Syrian entry in a long time, maybe even ever and hopefully we will see more songs like this in the future
iconic song and video from such a small country <3 would have liked to see it higher although it has aged a bit after going through PSF, the QF and the SF
an ethnic banger that I would have liked to have seen higher but this is definitely a satisfactory result for it
this is also really nice but for me personally there were stronger songs that I preferred but this is definitely a deserved result
flagaustrlia the same as NZ - also an amazing song
SO ROBBED - lowkey wish I'd 12ed this and 10ed Syria so it was top 10 but Sri Lanka is one of the most consistent countries in the contest since i debuted and I hope we get to see more bangers in the future but this is definitely up there with Diamonds and Rhythm of My Love
I mean congrats on finally qualifying after so long but this is so bad lol - her voice is annoying and so are the drops
I definitely saw te early fan favourites flopping but I still thought this would aq at least? this brings out my indian side a lot but hopefully we'll see more bangers from India as they are also up there with Sri Lanka for me
usually one of the 'safe' qualifiers doesn't qualify and out of the top 3 across the semis, I was most worried for this but I'm very happy to see it in the top 10 - it's just such a banger but not overdone and definitely something I'd like to see more of in future editions
this would be a solid entry if it was sent to the semi finals so I think being aq hurt it a little but still an amazing result andi can't wait to see what other bangers you bring with Malaysia <3
Personally I would have left this i nthe quarter final - it's not bad but just takes way too long to reach the interesting parts for me to listen to oops - it also doesn't feel right that this comes 6th while Angel Eyes didn't even qualify for me
Congrats on another amazing result
a abnger as always from Samoa and I was a little worried it would flop but happy it came through in the end and may the streak continue
another banger but i preferred other songs so couldn't vote for this - although it's definitely a deserved result imo and it's nice to have them back
Wow - i was worried this wouldn't even reach the semis, and then I thought it woudln't reach the final so for it to them come 3rd is amazing - congratulations and it's so nice to see Singapore in the final again after a few robberies <3
flagphilipines a banger and a deserved result - must be rough for her to be runner up to a central asian country AGAIN but I didn't want this to win after it just won NNMC and she came 2rd just 2 editions ago so I'm very happy with this result <3
Definitely a deserved winner 100% - definitely one of the better winners so congrats Anton
so happy to see you win after so many ethnic bangers - this song is a masterpiece and will definitely be competition for Bir nima de in winners edition - we will also get to see 3 central asian countries there which will be exciting
