So, after some time (I wanted to do this yesterday but forgot), here is my opinion about the result, I try to be detailed:
1st
: Great winning song, was expected, although it was a late bloomer, with only 9th place in the semi.
2nd
: I like this song a bit more then Belgium, and after the long fight back I would grant the win even more Poland. But still happy about the result.
3rd
: I'm surprised to see so many people saying that this was a surprise. Turkey was the only AQed country which I thought that it could be in the top 6 again. But in my opinion the song is
4th
: also a safe bet for a top 6 this edition, although I think that the song is
too.
5th
: without a detailed look at the voting grid I say that the case happened I predicted: Slovakia got many smaller points, but received almost no big points. A good song in my opinion, but in such a strong field just sub top for me.
6th
: the first surprise for me here. I thought that the more hyped Armenian entry will get the points of the "opera-pop" fans, or at least that they stole each other the points. A miscalculation from me. But not my genre.
7th
: a good entry in my opinion, which deserved this place.
8th
: the REAL dark horse this edition, really surprised about this place, but very much deserved.
9th
: my favourite
. To be honest I hoped for more, but a top ten result is good, too.
10th
: Expected this a bit higher, because I thought that we have more fans of this genre here. Still overrated for me, as I hate this song.
11th
: My second favourite, a bit disappointed about this edition, especially with the positive comments about this song in mind. Still better than to fail completely.
12th
: 2nd in the betting odds, 12th in the contest: that's NVSC!
I liked the entry, but this song lost really fast the attention, so an expected position.
13th
: seemed to be the predicted love-hate entry. I just find it meh.
14th
: the song is
in my opinion, so I'm happy that the hype-train doesn't worked out full, although a top 15 position wasn't clear before the final.
15th
: Maybe the negative surprise of this edition! Although it wasn't the main attraction, I expected a top 10 by this song, which grew on me during the contest.
16th
: as many people ruled it already out: most of the people probably got bored of it.
17th
: expected it mid-field to be honest, also not one of my favourite entries, although it's quite good.
18th
: not sure how to rate this. So just congratulations for reaching the final and even being better then Italy!
19th
: Someone has to be at the end of the table... Very sad for this one, because I liked the entry very much (and find this even better than loc pentru dragoste).
20th
: expected this higher because there are some people who liked and pushed this entry.
21st
: wasn't sure how to rate this song to be honest. In the end it reached a, in my opinion, fair position.
22nd
: expected and fair
23rd
: you could expect this position, but still extremely underrated in my view. Was among my favorites this edition.
24th
: like germany
25th
: underrated in my opinion, but the position was predictable.
26th
: sad to see this last, because there were many worse songs in the final. But predictable.
All in all, congratulations to Belgium and see you at the PQR!
