NowNewMusic Contest | Song of the Year 2022

To clear up potential confusion, Taiwan does beat Japan in a tie despite having the same score. (Taiwan got more 12's than Japan 3-2).

[68] Considering this narrowly won in its original edition, I wasn't all that surprised to see this be in last place.
[61] Aww, this is actually so underrated. Out of all the ten winners this year, this stood out a lot for being so joyful and celebratory.
[66] Putting this up against the other winners, this started to fade for me, but I still love the feelings it conveys overall.
[63] To be honest, this hasn't been a song I remember often.
[69] I thought you'd be higher based on general hype, but maybe the literal tie for first place was an indicator that I overestimated its hype.
[70] Such a beautiful and empowering entry and unique among this year's winners with its African flavor. Happy it's in the top half.
[64] I had this pegged as a possible winner considering it's literally this year's highest-scoring entry. A little shocked it wasn't the case. Banger nonetheless.

[67] Considering the overall publicity and hype the group and the song was getting, finishing in 3rd place is respectable. Plus, it's a cute song that isn't overly saccharine.

[65] I thought this was gonna win considering this was one of the forum's most talked-about songs based on what I've observed in the chats. It was almost the case though. I would've respected this as our SOTY.

[62] This is just... shocking. Like... what the hell? For some instances, I thought "are these pity votes because I'm closing NNMC?" but that's just how my mind works. I'm really trying to be humble about this. That aside, I'm really grateful that you all have collectively brought "Entertain Me" to become 2022's Song of the Year. I said it in the video, but this is such a full circle moment that I wasn't expecting especially considering I won NNMC's first ever edition, so to win this very last NNMC event is mind-blowing. I can't thank you all enough!
