Predictable last place. Not shocked though, but considering last month's result, Fiji was one of the biggest surprises of the year for me.
I actually really enjoyed this as a host entry. Underrated.
Meh. I don't think it should've qualified to begin with, but it grew on me a bit.
I am
shocked this qualified. This is by far your weakest entry this year imo and you flopped with better songs.
My
. This entry
snapped! I'm so sad this placed so low. The fact that you qualified by 1 point frustrates me, too.
I mean it was cool to see all the "-stan"s qualify, but this deserved to stay in the semis. Really basic.
Definitely deserved to be in the final. This is the lowest acceptable place I would allow for this.
This is an earworm. "Papi papi" manages to get stuck in my head sometimes. Not one of my favorites overall, but it's catchy.
Another one that I was surprised to see qualify, but I get the appeal.
Very good entry imo, but this is an appropriate place for it.
Happy to see this in the final, but it got lost in the huge mix. Good placement.
Really cute and good song. Another good placement.
I agree with Dylan. I thought it was gonna NQ, but it's nice I guess.
My
. Underrated. What a banger. But maybe this placement is karma for even
thinking about sending EVERGLOW for China exactly one year ago.
Good placement, nice song, and it's interesting you haven't sent a solo male act in so long. Maybe this shows promise for more acts like Bilal in future editions.
With all the hype it got, I thought this would place in the Top 10.
My
. Should've placed in the Top 10. The buildup and the drop is awesome.
Thank you to the NQ voters for saving me from being underrated. When this song came out, I was so shocked at how good it is, especially for a song sung in Tagalog. I'm so pleased it got recognition here. I knew some of the rock fans would love it, so thanks for the
from Kazakhstan, Hungary, and Luxembourg. Although I would've wanted another Top 10, I'll take another top half finish at least.
My
. So happy to see this do well. Not Nobuna's strongest song (Into the Light ftw), but still so good. <333
Oof. Lost a spot in the top 10 through a tiebreaker. Beautiful and sweet instrumental. I would've been fine to see this in the Top 10.
I gave it my
after all (but maybe I should've given more
).
Amaliastan is back in the Top 10 (barely)! Definitely deserved. <33333 Strangely enough, this and Iceland were fighting for my
, so you came close to being in my Top 10.
Not these two "-stan"s placing 9th and 10th. Both you and Turkmenistan also finished in the top 2 of SF2. So wholesome. But a spot in the Top 10 for both of you is nothing to actually laugh at. Compared to past Kazakh entries, this one definitely stood out, and it showed in the results. Good song that deserves its result.
GO OFF, SIS!
Such a banger! And I can't believe I couldn't give it my maximum 12 points. (I gave it
instead.) Just shows how strongly I love my favorites this edition.
Another bop. It was also close to being in my Top 10. I don't mind this doing so well again. Also, did Apo place 7th
again? My
! OMG it's such an earworm! Tove Lo's vocals are mesmerizing in this particular track. I'm hooked to this song. This is my favorite AQ entry of this year, and I'm glad it placed so high. <33333
Really simple. Really fresh. I didn't jump into the hype as many others, but this is a good result that I'm not mad with. Well done.
I'm personally surprised this did so well, but I'm not mad. It's so catchy and does not sound like your ordinary radio-friendly song. Congratulations on placing 4th.
Interesting note: Both
"South ___" countries finished in the Top 3.
My
. I really thought you would give Ukraine a run for its money, but as we can see with the margin lol, that wasn't the case. "Adios" is still my all-time favorite from EVERGLOW since it's so iconic, but this group turned out another bop that's just as strong. Congratulations, Julian on placing third!
My
. This is the dark
or white? horse of the edition. The moment I heard this song in the NS, I got so excited. It's so effortlessly beautiful, and it's a simple piano ballad. I don't think a song of this kind has even placed this high, and I'm in awe. Also, after placing 11th as best result on several occasions in editions past (I think?), South Africa has finally broken into the top 10, and what a breakout. Congratulations, South Africa! <33333
Now when are you sending a black artist? We all saw it coming, let's be real. Those who said South Korea was gonna win were in denial. This was an unbeatable track. I gave it my
, but that doesn't tell you how well-received this song was in the votes. I mean, look at the score! 275 POINTS! When Ukraine wins, they win big apparently. Congratulations to Basil on getting your second NNMC win. You get the honor playing host to the 50th edition.
Also, love that the video really fits the Halloween vibe.
This not placing last in its semi is an omen to the future of this country. Am I talking about USA's future in NNMC? Or the country in general? We will see next week.
Slovakia, sweetie, I am so sorry that you scored less points than USA. You were a nice enough ballad that wasn't worthy of last place. v_v
This edition was really good overall. The song quality was better than your average edition imo. Well done to us for putting effort toward our songs. Maybe next edition will be even more epic.
