Sweden: a decent winner, congrats Jan!
wasn't enough of a fan to award points it's still a really good pop song. see you all in
sverige!
Ukraine:
a great runner up <333 I expected this to win but it still slaps (and means UA:PBC won't bankrupt from hosting in #27 and #30
)
Israel:
congratulations on third place! <33 a good song and deserved place even if it's grown off me a little since I voted
Netherlands: really didn't see this doing so well but it's pretty good still. congratulations!
Tunisia:
A true
SERVE. Tunisia really slapped hard these past two editions. So glad to see this AQ <333
United Kingdom:
YES. A bop and a truly deserved AQ even if I didn't expect it until some of the others got low televote scores. <3333
Germany: it wasn't bad, I think my 11th/12th when I was voting? so 7th is a fair result - congratulations
Norway: I liked this like a year ago but I feel it was maybe sent a little too late. It's still good though so I think the result is fair
Lebanon: thought this would place mid-table but actually it's really nice so I'm glad it did better than expected - and with 16 times
Sarah's score
Austria: a little overrated, it was ok but I don't think top ten-worthy in comparison to
Austria's other placings
Bulgaria: we stan 10th in the semi and 11th in the final. this lowkey bopped - congratulations!
(even if it was one of my least favourites of the final)
Bosnia & Herzegovina:
I'd like to report a
r o b b e r y. This is
B&H's best song in my opinion so not coming at least top 10 was a crime. Congratulations though on sending such a beautiful song <3333
Portugal: a decent song with a decent result
Turkey:
a little underrated
I thought this was going to place higher than it did with all the "hype" in the live shows etc
Slovenia: lmao @all those 12 points. lowkey a bop and I underrated this in my ranking so the result is deserved
Faroe Islands:
another robbery. this wasn't on the level of "í tokuni" but still should've placed a LOT higher than 16th
Monaco: slightly overrated compared to the songs which placed lower but i'm still happy for
Monaco getting a decent mid-table result after so long
Romania: had no idea if this would flop or come top 10 - in the end, it did neither but it's still lowkey a bop.
Italy:
another robbery [1]. This was such a nice song - although perhaps it didn't do as well because it was slightly on the "forgettable" side? I don't know, but deserved to be higher imho
San Marino: my last place + thought this was coming bottom 3 material so surprised it avoided bottom 6. Clearly it had its supporters - but I wasn't one, sorry.
Greece:
knew it would struggle in the televote but didn't expect that much of a flop. Should've placed at least top 15, but I guess not
Georgia: This was close to getting points from me - underrated too. Nice to see
Georgia in the final though
Montenegro: This was nice (in the version which isn't 11 minutes lmao). Was unsure if it would do really well or place near the bottom - it was the latter
but
Monte being a finalist is such a rarity and a good sign of things to come
Slovakia:
WHAT. I didn't give this points either but honestly expected it top 15 - not the lowest-scoring qualifier. Seriously underrated
Ireland:
gave this a token point because I enjoyed it and knew it wouldn't get many from other voters. Would've liked it higher (
~22nd would've been better) but not surprised.
Andorra: it wasn't awful but it was a lot weaker than all the other songs in the final. At least you had a really strong run in the previous editions though
And now on to the super-extraordinary "Komm zu mir" which has, unsurprisingly, sent us to the PQR for the jubilee edition. I think we would've done better if it had become a meme earlier but thank you for the 64 points (especially Egypt for 18 and for 11) we took a risk, but we didn't do an "Elegantiškai sninga" this time (honestly though I prefer this to "Obsessed" by a mile). See you in the PQR if it's held
