I think this is the first edition (at least in a while) where I'm actually disappointed in these results, particularly SF2 (more on that below).
SF1: Not surprised.
Good qualifier. Such a short track.
Pleasantly surprised.
Yes.
Deserves to qualify.
Interesting.

This song fell flat.
This could've qualified imo. It's decent.
It's nice, but I don't see this in the final.
This was cute, too. Just not strong enough either.
My heart is broken. It's a banger, and this deserves to qualify so much.
Legitimately thought this was going to qualify. What happened?
It's definitely modern, but I don't think it's what NNMC voters were looking for.
Umm... this is disappointing. I had high hopes for this, but it got outshone.
It's fun and campy, and the song could've gone either way. It went this way unfortunately.
SF2: Good qualifier. Maybe you should stick with Moldova.
A rock banger by POC talent. I live.
Yes.
Not surprised. They slap.
Interesting. It's nice.
Decent.
YES!
You thought you were gonna NQ. Instead, your streak continues! Love this.

This is one of my favorites this edition. The audacity to not vote for this is shamefully massive.
They're okay. I kinda forgot about them.
It's fun, but the Olympics is far over. It's not relevant anymore.
Not surprised tbh. This was in the weaker ESC selections, so I saw this fate coming.
This could've qualified, but like borderline. It's okay.
This grew on me over time. Sadly, it didn't grow on enough people for enough points.
Out of all the ESC rejects this edition, this is my favorite. I've never listened to any EMA song (except for the winner), so hearing this for the first time blew me away. I'm so distraught this did not qualify. Slovenia deserves to continue its qualification streak.
Another one of my favorite this edition. Gone too soon. Was it the timeslot that
I picked?
Umm... another song that definitely should've been a sure Q. This song is hot and miles better than what was served last month.
Tragic results. The qualifiers here are nice, but it could've been much better.
SF3: This song deserves a place in the final.
A bop. I don't hear Italy be this upbeat often.
As she should.
Oh. Interesting.
This was qualifying whether you hate it or not.
Yes.
Both were growers. Happy they qualified.
YES.

This was a weaker follow-up to the utterly robbed "Algo Más".
A great effort in your debut, Daniel. I look forward to how you'll follow this up.
Definitely modern and accessible. Not strong enough sadly.
Should've sent TAEYEON.
This is one of the better entries from the USA in recent months. Could've qualified.
This was so good! My favorite Icelandic entry in while. A shame it's not gonna be in the final.
I should've noticed that controversial timeslot.
The song is not remarkable though.
Good try. I did end up forgetting this.
Another song that could've qualified. It wasn't among my personal qualifiers though.
