I don't really comment on the results but I feel like after such a decent result, it's worth spending a few minutes to write a post.  First of all, I would really like to thank everyone for having voted for  Cyprus! Special thanks to  Austria and Armenia for their  . That 5th place really came out of nowhere. It is quite hilarious how I had never been in the TOP 10 this decade before this edition, despite many  2nd and  3rd places in semi finals, which all eventually ended up being 11th-13th in the final, and I made it with a song that had to go through the 2nd Chance Round.  As for the 2nd Chance Round, that's also the first time I qualify from there so it is also a milestone for me! I am glad to see my result there as well, which, in my impression, seems to be the most successful result in that round in terms of amount of points per voter. If I am wrong you may correct me.  However, this is once again where the 2nd Chance Round is proven to be very successful because being in a semi final without many supporters is quite common and it will always happen to someone, just like it happened to me and somehow to  Poland as well, as that 12th place in the final is a good accomplishment. We eventually ended up being the 3rd and 4th most successful countries of our semi finals in the final respectively. Of course I would like to congratulate  Finland for a really well-deserved victory with a really good entry and  Serbia for getting their best result ever. Many congratulations to  South Korea for a decent 3rd place and also to  Romania for having come 4th! On the other hand, feeling sorry for  Croatia for having broken the record of the least successful semi final winner, coming 2nd last (originally last if  Israel hadn't been DSQ) despite having won their semi final... In general some countries were overrated, some were underrated, this is always the case and I won't refer to anyone specifically; if you really want to know you can drop me a message but I don't think there's so much interest in my opinion anyway . See you in Finland for our 69th Edition! |

I'm quite pleased with my result, given I was hanging around last for most of the voting, so top 20 is good for me Third in the semi-final is amazing, espcially thanks to  Sweden and  Canada for the in the semi-final, and Sweden again for  in the final  Results are decent, I don't like the winning song honestly, but congrats anyway  Finland, and I thought  United States would come last tbh, I'm disapointed my   Belgium came bottom three, and  Philippines came last in the semi-final though  But I'm pleased for  Serbia getting their best result ever, and my and  South Korea and  Romania coming third and fourth respectively  |

This edition we have 20 / 27 entries receiving at least 1x 12 points. The ones who didn't hear are Malta, India, Slovenia, Chile, Russia, Belgium and Croatia. With Malta as the highest placed one of this group being only 17th, it's the first time in a while that no entry in the top 15 haven't been awarded with at least 1x 12 points. |
