Like I said when I closed the voting, so many good songs. Sadly, not enough spots to accommodate all of them. Usually, there's like one or two shock NQ's for every edition. This time, I think there's like five.
I'm emotionally scarred at how many great songs didn't make it. The RotW votes certainly played their parts...
SF1: No doubt a stand-out and a shoe-in.
Banger. Deserved the qualification.
Another good qualifier (and I like the video...)
An awesome Arab banger.
I'm so pleasantly surprised this qualified.
It's hard to impress me when it comes to metal... this didn't disappoint.
At last! No doubt the best Mongolian entry in a while, hence the qualification.
Banger!
I hope you enjoyed being the last one to be announced.
This is legitimately great.

Good song to debut with as a user. Sadly, it was one of the weaker songs in this strong semifinal.
NOOOOO. I'm sad. My
of this semifinal is gone.
This is cute, but I had the hardest time seeing it qualify.
My sadness continues. This would've been awesome to see in the final.
This is a gut punch. Another good song left behind.
I was convinced this could've qualified, too, even if it wasn't among my favorites. Too chill.
A little corny, but I enjoy this. Will miss it.
Catchy, but it didn't stand out.
Huh? Wha-? I... this not qualifying is certainly a "True crime."
Her JESC entry is miles ahead of this. Kinda bland. Sorry.
SF2: This is cool. Deserved qualification.
Would've been a shame to see this
song miss out in the final despite the non-vote.
Yes. A banger! Singapore is back in the final since their last appearance in #41. Congrats!
This actually wasn't my favorite in the NS, but this one is such a banger anyway. I'm happy for it qualification.
Her first appearance since her win in #21 did not go to waste. I love this so much.
(Wow, Sunmi has been in so many contests, but this is her second time in NNMC. I almost got a little mixed up.) A revelation. Thank you, Anton for blessing NNMC with this treat.
Very different from her other song "Karma" as this one is more subtle, but still good.
Slay Florence wannabe! I can't help but make that comparison. Good song nonetheless.
India's qualification streak is two editions strong now! That's amazing. You've definitely been stepping up with India since "Solo Laila". This is no exception.

This was such an enjoyable listen. A shame this didn't make it.
(ID) Such a fun song! Not strong enough sadly, but I liked it.
Unlike most songs in the semi, I
don't like this. Apo, I'm sorry.
Underwhelming.
NOOO! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS NQ'D! I'm gutted deep.
The user said it themselves... v_v
OMG this is kind of hurting me. This could've qualified, too. Keep trying! T_T
A cute banger. My personal qualifier, but Japanese songs like these have that "out there" quality that make it hard to reach everyone imo, so I saw this NQ coming.
(MC) I definitely saw a path for qualification with this. This one was very good despite being one of those down-tempo tracks that I have hard time getting into.
Same with Monaco. Had a shot at qualifying. Any slight differences could've favored you, but it wasn't meant to be. v_v
SF3: Rubio always deserves to qualify if the song is always like this.
I haven't heard much of Polina's songs in a while. Something like this is a new direction for her I think. It's great!
I enjoy this a lot. Qualification deserved.
I think this didn't deserve to I'M KIDDING, RADEK!
I didn't see this NQ in any way. Congrats.
It's been almost a year since Costa Rica last qualified, and of course it's with the artist who still holds Costa Rica's best result. Well done on qualifying!
Yas! Thank you for supporting Philippines and making us qualify. We love the support.
This is amazing. I'm so happy this is competing in the final.
Very good. I like this a lot!
I'm kinda having second thoughts announcing this last because this was an obvious qualifier.
----------
Kinda mediocre, which didn't cut it for qualification sadly.
So cute. Could've qualified I think, but the field was just so strong.
Enjoyed this a little bit. This definitely was capable of qualifying.
Aww. Liked the message, and the song is fun.
This got a little lost.
No.
Considering it's Canada, a little shocking. Considering the song, it was final-worthy if there were a lot of weaker songs in the semi.
I need this NQ streak to end. It should've been with this entry or with last edition's entry. I liked this song a lot.
Meh...
This is sad. This is no doubt T&T's best entry since "Jammin to Soca" (they're feeling really alone right now). I wanted this to qualify so bad.
