Thanks for another top 10!

It is a heartfelt ballad and I'm surprised Aisel produced such a beautiful masterpiece. Thanks to Luiri and justin for 12 points, Jmain for 10 points, and Chante for 8 points!

I was shocked to see both Portugal and Angola so low. Both of the songs are bangers. Portugal probably got snubbed by the copyright mute unfortunately. Happy to see South Korea win, congrats Dylan! Congrats Luiri for a debut 2nd place. It's also great to see fuerte doing reasonably well with a Hong Kong banger, congrats!

Bring on next edition already! I'm ready

It's beautiful and I am falling in love with it more and more. Congratulations on your first win, Dylan!

No points from me and I did not expect it to do so well, especially after only placing fourth in the semifinal. But it's great that this kind of song can do well. Congratulations on this amazing debut, Luiri!

Great to have you back, Jeff! Froukje might not be an unknown force, but this song is definitely among the best songs I've ever heard in Dutch.

I've expected this to be in the top 3, but still a great result. Congratulations, Matthew! Maybe it was not supposed to do too well here, because it wins Own Asiavision.

Congratulations, Rontti! This was a great choice for Israel. Would've loved to have this in the top 3. Unfortunately it fell a bit from its second place in the semifinal.

I've honestly overlooked this at first, but it's actually a pretty nice bop.

I really love this and its variety. Maybe Ukraine can be the first country to win twice? Definitely one of the powerhouses of this contest.

Thank you so much for this gem! I've basically listened to this non-stop for a few days. It should've been higher, of course, and deserved more 12s than only mine.

A nice ballad in Azerbaijani. It did not connect with me so much, but I am happy that slow songs can still do well in Fortuna.

I did not see it this high at all. The flying whale is everything that I keep remembering about this song. But great that another slow song got appreciated and placed in the top 10.

Puppies, boobies and an attractive man. For sure a combination to do well in Fortuna. It doesn't hurt either that the song is a bop.

Not my kind of music, but this has definitely something. So I am not surprised it placed in the left half.

This is pretty cute, good place for it. It got mainly carried by three sets of 12s. Sorry that the recap part was a bit suboptimal. Please, everybody remember that we have thirty seconds timeslots.

This a bit too high-pitched for my liking, if that makes sense. Actually placed better than I've expected.

Another thrilling bop in Polish. Honestly, I've first learned through Fortuna that Poland has such a great music scene in its native language.

Might be only me, but the songs from the lusophone countries (Brazil, Portugal & Angola) this edition all blur together for me. This might've hurt all three of them.

This is really interesting and did stand out a lot. It also definitely displays a pretty unique mood.

As this placed sixth in the semifinal, I suspect this got unfortunately hurt a bit from the copyright issue.

Honestly, for how Italix has struggled to find a song this edition, this is a pretty decent place. Hope you can get a country you've more fun with next edition.

I expected this to do better, but I would've prefered to see someone else, not Titica again. Her song from last edition definitely outsold this in my opinion.

Very underrated in my opinion, surprised this is so low. It's pretty catchy and I enjoy this a lot.

Not the biggest fan of this, especially not of Fonsi's parts. But I expected this to do a bit better.

I enjoy the jazzy vibe it has and would've liked to see it a bit higher.

This has been so much in the radio here and that's not surprising, considering it's a pretty typical radio pop song. Thought it would not do that bad, considering it has just won FoIM, but I guess the player bases of the two contests are actually pretty different.

It's not bad, but there is not really anything special about it. It's pretty generic and I feel like I've already heard this song so often.

Honestly thank you all for 6th. AQ gang two times in a row is amazing

honestly not much to say but

Kwon Eun Bi is honestly never not slaying and this helps to further prove it

I've got a bit to say about this. I thought this would flop because froukje but surprised it got 3rd honestly was 3rd deserved over China, Israel, Ukraine and Hong Kong? probably not in my eyes, was it better than my song? definitely. good job to whoever was Netherlands

honestly robbed, this and Kwon Eun Bi are the only songs I am putting on my Spotify playlist

slayed, served cunt and got robbed

ROBBED

--------

I think it was overrated but I am glad Canada remains because I think they haven't been done justice with the recent editions

genuinely sad

surprised because I didn't predict it but this was bottom 3 for me sawry

I mean this was the only thing about the results that I thought was very likely to happen, sad to see Singapore go so early

So I got relegated, a-gain...

I am a little dissapointed, but I'm at least happy I got to show something more mellow and alternative out of a tough country like

Pakistan. Thanks to Chante and Luiri for the 10 points, as well as Ferret for the 8 points.
Maybe I'll send something poppier next edition. I would like to break this trend with my results sometime soon.
At least

survived. That means I have a chance to get them again (smirk)
