Would've been a shock to see this not qualify.

Well done.

Welcome back to the final!

I think it's the third edition in a row you've qualified.

Should've qualified. It's really nice and empowering.

Hmm... I feel like with a different set of people, this may have qualified. It's quite nice.
![](https://i.imgur.com/oI5FHWv.png)
I thought this had a shot. Well, another qualification didn't happen unfortunately.

India's best NNMC entry so far in history... and it fails to advance. Underrated.

Good effort, but I feel this semi was just too strong.

It's a tragedy that this did not qualify. It actually has a sick beat.
![](https://i.imgur.com/1UaHN6p.png)
I like it, but it wasn't strong enough to qualify.
![](https://i.imgur.com/HTMpYqK.png)
Expected tbh.
![](https://i.imgur.com/SP2Rdfx.png)
Meh. At first listen, it sounded cool, but it grew off me later on.

You miss out again while the other "-stan"s qualify again. This sucks.

A strong ballad. I expected this to qualify.

Kudos for finding an artist with roots from Guam. It clearly paid off.

After giving the Philippines its first NQ, Jessica finally redeemed herself by qualifying! Thanks for voting us through.

I'm somewhat indifferent to these, but they're not awful imo.

Welcome back! I missed your presence for a few editions.

Great job on getting Nigeria back to the final after almost two years I think? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Definitely one of the stronger Indonesian entries, but not strong enough unfortunately.
![](https://i.imgur.com/GgCL8G7.png)
Expected. These kinds of songs don't seem to generally do well in online contests.
![](https://i.imgur.com/ORsZime.png)
Aww, bummer. I really liked this one. This should've qualified.
![](https://i.imgur.com/03DV5nz.png)
It's a competent entry for sure, but not enough for the final unfortunately.
![](https://i.imgur.com/EtPiDm7.png)
I liked this a lot, but I knew it wouldn't do well.
![](https://i.imgur.com/IEvrsnR.png)
Kinda bland tbh. I know Russia can do better.
![](https://i.imgur.com/9WiBxAp.png)
No.
![](https://i.imgur.com/9vJW5Zh.png)
Good effort with this one, but again, not enough.
![](https://i.imgur.com/GHJWLDk.png)
No. [2]

Nice to hear Margaret sing a ballad, but this was hard to remember... sorry.

Great job.

Blame random.org for the three "-stan"s being announced consecutively. You leave poor Kyrgyzstan behind again.

I would've been upset if this didn't go through.
![](https://i.imgur.com/KYwVCGl.png)
Indifferent, but at least Sini was able to qualify this time.
----------
![](https://i.imgur.com/s8zcZJu.png)
Aww... this was catchy. I would have loved to see this qualify.
![](https://i.imgur.com/AxrOKXT.png)
Good try. It's decent, but not strong enough I'm afraid.
![](https://i.imgur.com/2Xl2WV8.png)
You're heading in the right direction with Malaysia. You may not have qualified, but I'm sure you will.
![](https://i.imgur.com/UqckJAE.png)
Ouch! When was the last time Israel failed to qualify? Is this considered a shock NQ?
![](https://i.imgur.com/kShlwVw.png)
Aminata may be one of Latvia's best known singers, but she is not immune to a non-qualification.
![](https://i.imgur.com/sFCBnOW.png)
This had no chance in my opinion.
![](https://i.imgur.com/7vbrPJl.png)
You tried, but it unfortunately wasn't strong enough.
![](https://i.imgur.com/JnlpVgM.png)
Hmm... I'm both surprised and not surprised at this not qualifying.
![](https://i.imgur.com/4GbNneI.png)
Meh.
![](https://i.imgur.com/OiiHVn8.png)
Wow. I'm shocked. Lina Mayer generally has good quality songs, so this not qualifying is a bit surprising for me.
