WWW Song Contest #65

Oh yay I made it! A little unexpected at the moment of watching (which is mainly 'cause I didn't remember 99% of the other entries tho ). Thanks a lot to everybody who voted for me!


The results of the semi aren't that much for me tbh. From my top 7/10 may have qualified, but only 4 to the final and my top 2 are (surprisingly) in the wildcard round.. :/

On a more positive note I'm pleasantly surprised by the qualifications of Romania (but congrats for the first final in ages) and Cyprus (plus didn't see Serbia with it's unusual entry in the wildcard round) while the elimination / qualification to the wildcard round of the Philippines (How can even this not make it directly? But well guess it's a victim of originality and stuff), Brazil (It's epic, but I personally found it way too long so I like that it's at least moving anywhere!) are the rather unpleasant ones imo.

This is how I voted:
Wildcard round
Wildcard round
finalist
Guatemala
finalist

Wildcard round
Taiwan (guess it was in the wrong semi)
Samoa (this was never going to qualify anywhere so I'm not surprised there...)
finalist




I really wasn't following the other semis, but let's still see:

In semi 2 I'm not too surprised that Italy qualified directly (I mean come on ...). Same counts for Japan btw. (How can Perfume not qualify?). I didn't care a lot about most of the other entries and am absolutely not surprised that entries like Ethiopia and Lithuania (I know it was never going to happen, which I'm actually very happy about, but I'm still wondering how In my mind would've done here (if it were still eligible to compete)).

After the announcement of a few qualifiers from the 3rd semi I got a bit confused whether the 1st one was the rockish semi or not. Anyway I find quite a few of the qualifiers boring (congrats to Bosnia & Herzegovina for the first final in a long time as well), but I'm happy for Iceland and Sweden while I'm surprised that Thailand, Malta and India are already gone.



Also can I guess that the Netherlands got the wildcard this time?

I also just voted in the Wildcard round. It's quite a tough one this time. Also Idk if it's the first time, but wow out of I'm the only one who's not there.   (Guess who got my and )

I can't say I agree with my semi's results, I guess my votes say everything:

Armenia
Czech Republic
Argentina
Second Chance Qualifier
Second Chance Qualifier

Voted in Second Chance. Good luck to the participants, and congrats to the direct qualifiers
