North Vision Song Contest 40 • Grand Final Results

This edition was absolutely fantastic, from how quick it went to the design and the great show, thank you for all these!
Thanks for the 8th place, this is my personal best result as HoD of this country! It's clear that such a result for such a country will never be achieved again, so I would have been even happier to get to big 6 with such a challenging country. Thanks for 12p in the jury, but I'm confused about that 1p in PQR. Thanks for all the points in general, in PQR (non-participants saving it), semifinal and final
amazing winner, even though I didn't see this coming
ate
I didn't like them, and I really hope to see more of these countries' unexplored sides
ok, but kinda high
nice ones, with a very good result
quen devoured, this got my 48p this edition. Its result was expected and it is definitely decent for what it is
robbed
In rest, it was more or less expected, I just thought more Balkan countries would get to the top 6 (including )

24 Albania
18 Belgium
17 Montenegro
15 Estonia
11 Faroe Islands
10 Austria
9 Iceland

Thank you everyone for a respectable 17th place! This has been a really strong edition and I'm glad to have found a couple of gems along the way!

This is in my 12th place. I certainly didn't expect this to win, especially when the odds are stacked against their favour. However, I'm surprised this came out on top! Well done Sinny for a unique song. I like the instrumentation and the vocals are mesmerising.

The drop is everything. The bass is loud and it bangs a lot. Taska Black has a special style at his belt. It stands out from the rest of the bunch and I'm glad this receives recognition from the voters. Congrats Michal for the 2nd place!

This is not far away from my votes. The drop bangs though in full this has grown off me. I like the sung melody there too which is fresh. Congrats on another amazing result Domas!

This is so emotional. SANTA from Hyphen Hyphen really gives everything here. The rather traditional instrumentation actually works pretty well. The melody is strong. I love her belting at the end which is a moment to behold. I'm happy this went past the semi but it was robbed at 18th place.

I'm very surprised when this first came out last year. This song got me into Raye's discography. I love the dance-inspired instrumentation. The mesmerising drops in each part of the song are preceded by a smooth and anticipating buildup. It takes you on a journey. It also hits you hard. I'm happy to see this finish 5th place. Well done Kev!

I love the somber and dark feel to the song. The synths hit really hard. It is haunting and I think this stands out a lot in the final. The drop is stunning and this song requires full listening to get the best experience. I'm happy this got to the final after it was robbed in SCFFSCIBDSFE. I wish this finished a lot higher though. I don't think I like dark pop this much before.

This song is amazing. I love the heavy production here which adds a lot of personality. It is empowering and I think the best part of the song is the instrumental dance break at the end, which is a highlight. I'm glad to see this finish in the top 10. Congrats and well done on your debut Lux!

This is an accessible catchy Swedish pop. The production is on point and I love the different vocal and synthy effects applied at various parts of the song. I wish this finishes higher but 14th is a respectable position.

I was pleasantly surprised when I first heard this. The production is pretty strong and Iru's voice is surely unique. I'm excited about her performance in Eurovision. The song kinda grew off me a bit but this is still a solid pop song. I wish this finished higher than 19th.

The production in this song is insane. The bass hits extremely hard. Sila Lua is one to watch. I first heard about her with "Makara" and I thought that was a pretty cool song, until "Rompe" came through which blew me away. I'm glad this got recognition and finished at 4th place. Well done Adria for bringing a huge banger!

Thank you for adopting my suggestion! This is a great emotional ballad. The instrumentation and the vocals make this really dramatic and I love the flow too. However, it was terribly robbed at 24th.

Lali's best song so far for me, the dance break is everything! It is provocative and catchy. I'm surprised this won ABF but I'm happy this got a great result at 7th. Commiserations on not making it as an AQ country though.

Commiserations:
I really enjoyed this song from Nilüfer Yanya. It is an alternative take to the contest and it is risky. It finishing last is a crime.

NQ selection:
This is beautiful. It fell off me in the end but this is a pretty nice discovery in the end. The chorus is grand but I understand why it doesn't grab the voters much. I'm glad this escaped PQR.

In retrospect, I should've given 12 points. This is going to top my chart this week. It is such a banger. I love the ethnic flavours here. The instrumentation is so fresh and the vocals are unique too. What a fantastic discovery this edition and I hate to see this song extend the undeserved NQ streak.

I should've pointed a bit more as well. This is so unique and beautiful. It is slow and the tranquil instrumentation suits the music so well. I love the reverb which paints the atmosphere. It is such a pleasant experience and it would've been such a standout in the main contest.

I'm glad to have discovered this in the ABF. This is such a unique piece with the instrumentation and the atmosphere. It is pleasant and special. Thank you for the discovery!

Haha was the televoting sequence 20 minutes of George pushing his opinions?

My favs barely ever do well in North Vision so seeing my top 3 be the real top 3 was unbelievable

Congratulations. Very well deserved. I can't decide whether I prefer this or their first entry.
My absolute fav of this edition
How do you keep finding so many bangers for this country?
I knew this would be a contender from the first time I heard it.

I didn't think much of this in the semis but it did grow on me.
Aw so close to an AQ at least you get to enter the next draw
I really wanted this to AQ but oh well
I have no idea how this got so high. This is going to majorly influence my song contest entries for a long time.
Don't like it but knew it would do well
Once again stressing that I never liked this
Bored of this
I thought I'd be in the bottom 5 so I'm happy with 13th. Thank you everyone for your votes



Don't like this but I'm surprised it finished so low


No thanks
I think I liked this in the semis but I'd gone off it by the final
Still surprised this qualified but at least you weren't 25th
Cute bop. I'm happy it made the final.
My opinion stands that I'm bored of these types of songs
flagmontenengro I was excited to see this do so well at the beginning. Good luck next time with another foreign act
Should have been last
Keep these unique songs coming Sylwia
Not bad, not good

I didn't vote in the PQR this edition but I did point and laugh when I saw this failed there.
Robbed
I wish this had made it. Such a catchy entry
I thought this would PQR and I'm really happy it didn't.

See you all next edition when Serbia may or not break their record for qualification streak.

9th!! thank you very much. it's my best result since Bríet in 2021 and after 2 bad editions its so nice to see some success especially when you didn't expect it I had hopes for Laufey, but I didn't think she would get top 10. Anyways, its much appreciated. Thank you to (24) + RoTW () and of course anyone else who gave us points. You're the best girlies x

something I haven't done in a while WOWWWWW a full reaction (NQs + final)

Not too surprising, it was chanceless but its not the worst song here.

its funny and camp but that's it nothing else

ngl it was the worst one here. I'm pretty sure I misclicked on the form (genuinely) since Bosnia was right next to it and I wouldn't have given that song 1 point. either way, I'm sure you have better so best of luck next time

its just not as strong as the other Norwegian entries sent so I can see why this flopped

I can see the appeal, didn't think it would get that high but good for you xx

its nothing too special.. wouldn't say it's the worst song this edition but yeah.

its not really bad but I kinda expected this result.

its lowkey okay but she's giving 2013

didn't like it, sorry </3
kinda robbed, wasn't my favourite but PQR??

its actually not bad oop but it was destined for the PQR

lowkey robbed, guilty pleasure - losing in a tiebreak is quite sad

I didn't really care for it at first but it's a very nice song. underrated.

kinda underrated too. 02 didn't help it at all

happy this escaped the PQR, beautiful song.

really not a fan.. Ukraine can do so much better.

lowkey a bop. but it was DOA
underrated! nice little song.
wow unexpected. lowkey a bop, I expected this to sail through, definitely not a PQR song

nothing special considering recent Monégasque entries.

robbed
I must be one of the few who didn't like this skjhskhj its not terrible though.

I really don't like this whatsoever but congrats for escaping the PQR with it.

she's lowkey serving but wasn't enough for my points I fear
A BOP I was so surprised with this failing and the fact it was close to the PQR in terms of points gurli

overrated oop
lowkey overrated but it is also not the worst song here

did not deserve last! this was a very nice song done dirty. I guess 02 killed ha ()

I don't really like this but she's unique so

it kinda bops but it also really doesn't oop!

I was surprised to see this in the top 6 at some point??? mina ate this man up though outsold..

I honestly forgot about it
its camp for qualifying but its really nothing too special. still a nice surprise.

expected but robbed </3 ()
robbed too! I was almost going to send ha for Tunisiana in OAfSC </3 ()

such a bop. sad to see it this low, unexpected too ()

it's alright but that's it!
it was okay
a nice song, expected it a bit higher
its a nice little song but I couldn't award it points

grew off me from the semi finals </3 I liked seeing Swedish back though.

I wouldn't call this background music at all but it kinda grew off me. still a decent placement ()

most underrated song this edition! I thought it would top 10 ()

grew off me unforch ()
mega bop! well deserved ()
my favourite of the edition. such a banger, my 1 point in the PQR was definitely a misclick as I really enjoyed this song. definitely didn't think it would get top 10 at first but after seeing how well it did leading up to the semis it was clear to me xx ()

Lali has better songs. But I can see the appeal, congrats

a cute little song, kinda grew off me from the semis but very nice ()

raye is a queen but I just didn't have enough points to give

it's very.. loud sksks but expected result

it really grew off me since the NS </3 3rd is a bit too high for this song but congrats for such an achievement with Lithuania so far

quite overrated for me sorry </3 but I can see the appeal. Well done on a stunning return to the final, though your recent NQs are better than this for me

I was unable to award this points mainly because again I didn't have a lot to give. I much prefer their #35 entry over this one, but I can see why it won. Well done Sinny 💜 Finally getting the win you deserve.

I really enjoyed this edition in the end and I'm looking forward to #41 because I really love our next (potential) entry. See you soon in Austria!
