I like the fact that I am literally watching this at 2am in the morning in my hotel room in Barcelona SHOOKETH. Congratulations Matt. You absolutely deserve this at a time i never thought it would win. So proud. Also very proud of you. Never thought this would happen. Congrats on your first AQ. Serbia is gonna have a celebration. Wow this got third place in NVSC and 16th in Zendari. We really underrated this shit. Congratulations. Beyonce. Callum is about to start a new generation of NVSC and we're living for it. What a debut. LMAO I heard this playing in the streets of Barcelona just a few hours before the results. I know a NVSC song when I hear one. Congratulations At first, I didn't like this choice because like I said in FF. No I will really quote myself on this one. "Paul Rey took off the one edition in Vienna and then FF 25 started and he was all what's up bitches?" but then this actually started to grow on me ngl. And 6th place makes this song look better. Good job Jan. Knew this was gonna be in top 10 and 15. Loved it. Loved this like a bunch of other Italian songs. This is deserved. Well done with your choice again WOW A TOP 10. I must also congratulate you I will sue someone who didn't give at least those missing 2 to them. It really deserved the top 10 tho. I lowkey still really like this. Also deserved the top 10. Well it was good with you George. You gave us an Albania we never got before. Now to the underrated. Liked that you got 12 from Kazakhstan lol. Underrated gem. this is too underrated. But oh well. Not everything can go your way. also a little too underrated. lowkey underrated THIS IS SO ICONIC THO. but this? 20th? don't see it. This was by far the best song in this edition and you perfectly knew it had potential to be #1. I'm just disappointed in you people. Dennis if you're reading this, Bogdan and I were there for you when nobody else was. I loved this song soooooo much. Keep on going strong with Moldova Well deserved unfortunately. It was too mediocre for a contest like NVSC. UNDERRATED TURKIC BOP. UNDERRATED TURKIC BOP. My Turkic flops have went down hill since Azerbaijan withdrew. Sorry. It's the truth. Well all that matters is you got back to the finals. Congrats Mihai. FINALLY the chicken was found dead. Unlike other song contests... by the way, my sister saw no potential of this being in the bottom just because it's one of "today's top hits" To quote the pineapple queen Manila Luzon, "is this bitch for real?" Last place? Obvious. 11 points? Far too harsh.

what a show Congratulations to whoever made that scoreboard (I'm not sure if it was Dennis, Jan, Daniel or whoever but still), the effort put into it and the whole edition itself is praiseworthy, and it's definitely one of the best editions ever in terms of design and organization. I hope that this continues in the following editions.
Also, for those who didn't know, I was the Estonian televoting.
Now for the results:
Netherlands: I can't lie. I'm not a fan of the song, but I'm still really happy for Matt and Jens. The work put in your selections has really paid off. Serbia: REPRESENT. As the British head of delegation, I'm really glad of its result. This actually came as a surprise, but I'm still happy for it. France, Sweden: definitely two of my favorites. I'm also surprised about their result after all the hate they've received. Still shocked, specially with France, but as with Serbia, I'm really happy for their top 6 placement. Switzerland: it was also one of my favorites and at the end, I was hoping it could win, but either way, congratulations Callum for your result. Andorra: at the beginning of the scoreboard I was really happy it was doing that well, and I was actually expecting it to win the televoting, but either way, congratulations. Italy: ok at the beginning I was shitting my pants since this is my second favorite entry and it was doing horribly bad but phew now I feel relieved. Lithuania, Iceland: uh for me they were a bit overrated, sorry. Congratulations, though. Finland: I was really happy for it at the beginning as well when it was doing fantastic but then it lowkey plopped. </3 Bosnia & Herzegovina: I can't. I actually think that the placement for the entry is really good taking into account what it is. Indeed it got my 12 points lmao. Czech Republic: I don't dislike this entry but I never got the hype everyone else had about it, sorry. Poland: #justiceforkaktus Moldova: even though I like it I actually think it got a fair place. Morocco: uh next Ukraine: lowkey underrated, but there were better entries in the selection. Ireland: uh next [2] Israel: tragique Luxembourg: tragique but still better than Israel
Norway, Austria, Faroe Islands, Denmark, Albania, Kazakhstan, Germany: I don't know what the fuck to say about these but wherever they are I think they got a fair placement.
also suing everyone who didn't give the 1 point Portugal needed to qualify. <//////3
see you next edition bitches.

We've been overdue for a solo male vocalist winning and in fact have come extremely close in several occassions (#11, #12, #21, #23). Not only did it finally happen, it was also very deserving. This is the kind of song that would make Salvador Sobral wet himself. I saw the hype for, but I was skeptical of its chances. Congratulations Matt and Jens! I think this is the first piano ballad to win NVSC, so that makes this victory even more special. My (as the Montenegrin televote; and no, it was not bloc voting). I am so proud of our neighbor for accomplishing such a great feat. You were my personal winner as this song reached out to me on a deep and personal level, so this second place finish is so satisfying. Well done Marko and Vuka. Enjoy your AQ! Predictable, but it deserved a high result regardless. Not gonna lie. This grew on me from indifferent to loving it. Well done for coming 4th. I was so worried this was going to win, and thank goodness it didn't. It deserved to AQ though. WTF? Are people voting for Sweden because it's Sweden? Place-wise, sure it's inferior to "All Falls Down," but mid-table is a more deserving result for this. The silent majority is strong with this one. Ew. Another one of my favorites. This should've placed over Norway and Sweden. Indifferent. The top 10 placement is deserved tbh. It's catchy and fun... and French! I see the appeal, but I have a lukewarm reception to it. I think 11th is a fine place for it. Any higher and it would've been overrated. UNDERRATED! Slightly underrated. Meh. Could've been a little higher. Also could've been a bit higher. UNDERRATED! [2] UNDERRATED! [3] UNDERRATED! [4] But it's one of the most iconic host entries in NVSC history. Shockingly low. Meh. [2] In my personal opinion, it was a huge mistake to send this. Either Bonzai or the Heathers would've gotten votes from me at least. Underrated, too. Iconic last place. Keep sending native acts. See you in The Netherlands!

It's not a masterpiece, but I still think it's decent, and never would have expected it to become the worst performing grand final entry ever. ;___; But that's not what hurts the most though, as I had a grande song which I narrowly chose against, in both GEZZA's and Krick's case. I can also reveal that before I decided on only sending native singers, I planned on sending La Loi de Murphy to #23, and Malade this edition.. I'm glad I didn't. Nonetheless, thanks to Anton for and special thanks to MG for saving her frosting with . Another thanks to 𝐴𝑑𝑟𝑖𝑎̀ and . for . And thanks to everyone else for spitting on her face. I liked the song months ago, but now I'd rank it last tbh. tf, gave this .. Robbed masterpiece. Robbed masterpiece. [2] a bop, but not good enough in such a strong field of songs Not bad, but not good enough. Should've been way higher. narrowly lost out on receiving a point; underrated Should be a few positions higher. used to really like it, but I was already bored af of it before the contest began underrated af; expected it to do better I was indifferent about it at first, and by the time it grew on me, the voting lines were closed.. Still like the original version better, but a deserved position nevertheless. I 'd it in the semi-final and gave it in the final. Criminally underrated. Switched it's for at the last minute. A deserved position. It's was another last minute switch for . Perfect position. I initially ranked it 26th in my ranking.. oops. still kinda overrated tho. It wasn't near my bottom, nor my top. Slightly overrated. glad this masterpiece did well This song has been growing and weakening for me throughout edition. A deserved position. I may have given it 3+4 points, but it definitely shouldn't have made the top 6. yas I wasn't a fan of it, initially. Although it was my 24th in my ranking, the song has definitely grown on me. Deserved position. slayage This also grew on me. A great runner-up for a great edition. A heavenly winner. Congratulations for the victory, Matt and Jen. Kudos to the council for hosting one of the best NVSC editions ever.

Unreal final! I did not even think that I would be so high. It seemed to me that my place was somewhere between the 13th and 8th places. I'm still in shock. Many thanks to all who voted for France. And who did not vote, thank you too. This is my best result for all time. The first medal. Thanks to the Council for the great work. You are simply gods!

I watched the show last night on TT but I was on my shitsmartphone and in a car, so that's why I didn't comment anything. So here we go. First, I really needed to say that the scoreboard was amazing. I follow this contest for like... 3 years now, and seriously, this is the best scoreboard I've ever seen. Beat that, Eurovision! Second, I'm really amazed that a country who was first in betting odds eventually won the edition, so here goes my first congratulations to Matt and Jens. Since I put it on my 4th place (I gave it a second chance after SF1), I hope Maxim won't kill me, lololo. Third, MOLDOVA WAS ROBBED, ROOOOOOOOOBBED!!!!! Fourth, my last placer is an AQ for NVSC26. Congrats Callum, but I can't stand that song and I find it overrated. #changeitwithMoldova. PS Actually, half of TOP10 was bad. But thankfully, faith in humanity is restored with the winner and runner-up. And fifth, as a huge fan of "Tragom tvojih tragova" since it was released (RIP IMF where I intended to send it), I'm glad it didn't end up in PQR. I'm actually suprised Malta ended up last, while in the same semi we had Estonia. So that's it from me. See you next year in Hilversum

See ya'll in Amsterdam! (also can i just say robbed at 11th they deserved it rip) Overall this was an amazing edition, and you all sent your best and i love you all and gj!
