My reaction: Winners: I'm happy. J'avais rendez-vous did much better than my expectation And I was right with the last two ranks. And all my top points there did well. Runner-ups: I don't know what everybody sees in that winner song. Nevertheless I'm happy my came and my came But my came only 5th Third-ranks: This was the strongest one for me. I was between 7 (!) songs. So I'm happy my has won my came second and my came third. I'm a bit sad for Slovakia's 9th rank. I love this song. Wildcards: I was between only 2 songs there. I'm happy for Mexico's 5th rank but Malta (cry) Congratulations to all the winners.

I think that you do,have a point! However, it's all simple You can also give to your own song so that it doesn't make any change Anyway, I guess that since people have the right to vote for themselves, they can do it without being ashamed ... I had actually thought of setting a rule for the Wildcards category since only 2 countries had more than 1 song in the competition, where users wouldn't be able to vote for their country. However, we hadn't clarified that earlier with Florian, so he suggested not doing it because it would also confuse some people. Yes, but now it's possible to chose to give or less if you want and that's a big difference between and , but if everyone is allowed to give their entry only the lowest points, than I think everyone would do that and that wouldn't change the winner so much... I mean, one example - if my entry would compete wityh other one for victory and for example I'd give my entry only , but the other one would give his entry , then he'd definitely win, if others vote similar, but if we both give the same points, then the winner can be decided by others, not us... What I mean with all this is that there should be rule, that you have to give your entry only , or only the lowest ones - that everyone gives the same points... 90% users gave 12 to their own entry but others didn't, so they were like losers in this situation, because they thought they will vote more honest... I hope you understand, what I mean... I totally do,understand what you mean! However, the votes of each player are their own duty. We can not force anyone to give any amount of points to their own songs just to have fairer results. And even if it might sound harsh, it's actually how things function in reality; those who are honest and want to be fair and such stuff are usually the ones who stay behind.

fabbi,did you remember when we spoke about neighbour voting,you wrote to me "0 for Flying and Asta Yeri".I thought It was a joke But you really didn't But thanks for 10 points to Never enough Yes I remember that. I was about to vote back then and I knew that those are the lowest points I could give.
Oh! And thanks for I expected something around there.

This says everything... so people, remember - don't be honest, because then you will get NOTHING! And this is how we try to get our world fairer for everyone...

Well, it's the truth...I know it might sound bad, however it's the truth. Take billionaires as an example. They are some of the world's richest people! Do you think they actually earned all that money just because of hard work? Literally all of them have done something which has influenced common people in a bad way but they know how to be well-hidden. All this power and wealth is, in 99% of the cases, a result of some action which had a negative impact on some people.

Reactions.. Winners:I didn't expect to do well anyways. It came out a complete surprise when I won I thought Maja would take the win..back then. But nevertheless thanks everyone for voting Ireland (especially mimisthesc for the 12) and congrats Blandine and you're welcome for 12 OMAROSA Runners Up
Congratulations Slovenia, it was my favourite that category UK #22 was underrated but it's all good. Congratulations everyone there for your placing.. that was a very tough category itself. Third Places
Didn't expect a great place here but i'm very glad of it. Special thanks to Montenegro Cyprus mimisthesc for the ^^ Thanks for 8th. Wildcards
Not gonna count all 12's here But thank you so much everyone for 2nd Congratulations to Greece. If it was some other country to beat me, I was glad I was beaten to Greece. I underrated you very much in #28.

All this power and wealth is, in 99% of the cases, a result of some action which had a negative impact on some people. I know and agree with you... money rules the world, not people... that's why no one says something about unfairly earned money, because everyone has it's price to stay silent... if people, not money would be so important, then every billionaire (I don't mean musicians or others, who earn their money fairly) would not be a billionaire anymore, because their money would be taken away from them, but no... money rules the world... while it's so, money is and will be #1 thing to worry about, #2 could probably be Earth and nature and only in #3 place (by importance) could be people... But as we know, world won't change, because even there wouldn't be money anymore, richest people would have lands or houses or something else that costs a lot...

I'm personally ok with all 4 winners, I liked the majority of songs anyway "Derniere Danse" was probably the most deserved winner, it was the biggest winner we've had in WWWSC so far, so actually it wouldn't have been logical if it didn't win the Awards too I never cared a lot about my own result here, it's already fantastic that I qualified for this extra edition, especially with such an unusual entry! Thanks to everyone who supported it, especially to Slovakia, Denmark, Latvia, Romania who gave ! Alright, and now let's move on to the next 10 editions!

I'm really happy with Derniere Danse. Was totally deserved even I prefer Quand revient l'été a bit more now. I really can't find anything in that song. Has always been overrated everywhere and imo it's all because Maja Keuc singing it. Prefer Bombo or La La La alot more. Thanks to everyone who supported my song. If i'm not mistaken I lost by 2 points but I really do not mind as Florian said, taking part in special awards was already great! The winner is good but for me it was the weakest category in all. Wildcards: And this one was the strongest category ofc. I'm also satisfied with the winner^^
