I'm so happy that I was able to publish results less than 24 hours after the deadline. We can totally move into the next edition right away (I will open confirmations for Edition #10 shortly after this post).
I honestly don't feel too bad about the disqualification, especially with their original result regardless. The player failed to vote in both their Semi-Final and in the Grand Final. Italy will probably become free to anyone next edition.
This song did NOT deserve 23 points. I guess the field was so strong that Russia was forgotten. Even if it came last, it should have gotten more points.
Meh. It's nice, but it's deserving of a low rank.
This is when the ties start coming. I'm surprised that we got five different ties in this part of the results. This, I think, is a testament to how amazing all of these songs are. I'm really happy about that.
It's a nice and very touching song. I'm glad it qualified, but I knew it was going to place low.
I don't mind its placing. I like the song, but like Russia, it didn't stand out.
Ouch! So much for that Top 10 prediction. It's a cool and sassy song.
This was an early favorite of mine, but then more songs started to come in, so this went down in my list.
Croatia will probably be a free country, too. Their player didn't vote in both events. It's a good song by Nina, but certainly not as epic as her debut.
I like the song, and I'm glad it got a middle rank. Indonesia needs to show up in contests more often.
I'm glad I let this through. It deserves to, even though it doesn't get a high place.
Ouch at their player's prediction crushed. Good song, but it's not as strong as most others.
I agree with 15th. It's just in the middle for me.
My
. JESC entry #1. This was a nice song, but this is what got Australia out of the top 10 for the first time. Ouch!
My
. I love me some EDM as long as it's tastefully done, and this entry is no exception.
Good song. Not my favorite, but still good.
Well done on being the only debuting country to qualify. Also well done on placing 11th!
Top 10:
My
. I am SO happy China finally did well after a few underrated entries. This top 10 placing is deserved.
Since it's a mainstream song, this placing was expected. I'm glad it didn't place higher though. I would've found my own entry overrated. Thanks to all who voted for the Philippines.
My
I love this song. Well done on reaching 8th place.
7th place for the second time? Nice! Canada is beginning to shine in this contest. Keep it up!
My
! I'm so happy this did very well. You also sealed yourself a possible automatic qualification.
JESC entry #2. My
. I can't say I'm surprised. This seems to be the forum's favorite, so 5th place is understandable.
My
. Totally deserved. Ailee never disappoints with her songs. This is certainly South Korea's best entry yet.
My
. And you thought this was going to flop. France is certainly a powerhouse in NowNewMusic if they keep delivering strong songs like this.
My
. I understand the love for this song. It's a beautiful ballad. I hope Amaranthe releases an official music video for this soon.
YES!!! BEST WINNER EVER!!! (even though it's my
) I can't believe you predicted to place 5th. I pegged this as winner immediately. Well done on getting 200 points! As I was typing up the script for the video, I couldn't help but laugh because of Belgium winning considering its history in this contest. This makes me so happy. Congratulations!
