North Macedonia getting into a theoretical final position (based on it being 26th - but quite likely that there are still at least 10 semi 1 tracks to come, not keeping track) is the most surprising result so far for me - it's so incredibly average, one of the worst of 2020! Flush.

Happy to see a few more "Take Me As I Am" stans and looking forward to James Newman's glow-up in the 2021 results (potentially - maybe him having a better song will be cancelled out by the general higher quality of the year)

I don't remember my votes at all. Quite surprised I gave 3 points to Belarus and none to the UK or Stan Marino laugh.gif

But at least I didn't give any to Georgia Selena.png

24. Moldova: Natalia Gordienko - Prison (51 points)
18 points - n4yr 12 points - Jade 10 points - Oliver 5 points - Ghosty 4 points - Bre 2 points - dan-G


25. Romania: Roxen - Alcohol You (50 points)
15 points - Jerick 13 points - uhsting 9 points - LUKE 6 points - Sergej 4 points - Alex! 2 points - RobBob 1 point - Cameron


Next we have the two ladies from Romanian speaking countries who had planned to come to 2020 with dramatic ballads. One has definitely stayed in that lane while the other has gone in the complete opposite direction. Prison also marks our first entry to fall having received an 18 pointer!

I wasn't expecting to see UK flopping here this way.

5 of my 12 choices already revealed! sad.gif
I just hope the country that received 12 points from me is in the top 3! w00t.gif

Whoa, 15 points from me? I don't remember Alcohol You ever being that big of a hit for me laugh.gif it's so funny seeing how much my faves have changed in the past year but I would have thought Germany, Malta & Iceland were surely all higher than Romania for me laugh.gif

EDIT: I just checked my votes, I didn't give Romania any points so I think that's probably supposed to be someone else 👀

So far only lost two of my votes! dance.gif but looking at them there's a few I'd undoubtedly swap out now for Romania and the UK.

21. Cyprus: Sandro - Running (72 points)
13 - LUKE 12 - dan-G 11 - Oliver 9 points - PeteFromLeeds 8 - Jason 7 - Vulker 5 - Riser 4 - Jafet 3 points - RobBob


22. Greece: Stefania - Supergirl (66 points)
18 points - Alex! 12 points - Colm, Pavel 10 points - Cameron 8 points - Jahq 4 points - n4yr 2 points - nickthenoodle


23. Netherlands: Jeangu Macrooy - Grow (56 points)
12 points - uhsting, LexC 11 points - NocheLuna 9 points - Jahq 6 points - Jade 3 points - Sergej, DionTheSats123


In at 23 is the host entry and criminally underrated ballad 'Grow' (and also the first song I voted for to fall). Netherlands are once again this year criminally underrated so come through consistency! And after the convenient pairing of Moldova and Romania in the last section, another pair of "best friends" are just outside of the top 20. Surprised to see Cyprus up as high as this but given there's more than one noted dance fan who voted in this, I guess it checks out.

NOTED and EDITED (in my defence Jerick and Jafet look very similar when the text is small!)

Oops Alcohol You was done dirty and surprisingly Grow is at a great position despite not many people rated it high in the first place.

A bit surprised (but not necessarily complaining - I do like both songs) at just how well Moldova and Cyprus have done. Greece were so underrated last year!

The Latvian racket needs to be out asap now.

Reckon the top 10 will consist of

Azerbaijan
Bulgaria
Germany
Iceland
Italy
Lithuania
Malta
Norway
Russia
Sweden

19. Malta: Destiny - All Of My Love (99 points)
18 points - Jafet 12 points - Vulker 11 points - Jahq 9 points - Liam 8 - Riser, Sergej 7 points - nickthenoodle 5 points - Cameron, DionTheSats 4 points - Colm 3 points - Ghosty, Alex!, Campbell 2 points - LexC 1 point - gooddelta


20. Albania: Arilena Ara - Fall From The Sky (76 points)
18 points - Colm 13 points - Iz 12 points - Bre 11 points - Jade 8 points - uhsting 5 points - WhoOdyssey, Jason 3 points - Cameron 1 point - PeteFromLeeds


So Albania, thanks to a handfull of big ticket voters sneaks into the top 20 by four points. It seems like an absolute eternity that the Albanian version, 'Shaj' beat 'Me Tana' in Festival i Kenges but here is our closure point for that narrative.

And in a surprise move, favourites for 2021 Malta only made 19th in our 2020 ranking with one point shy of 100. I suspect a lot of us would reach the similar conclusion that while "All Of My Love" is good, it's maybe not Destiny living up to her full potential as she has this year. Although looking back at 2020's video they've obviously decided to stick to the same kind of spoken word intro for this year!

17. Ukraine: Go_A - Solovey (106 points)
13 points - SevenSeize 12 points - Ghosty, Oliver 11 points - dan-G, Pavel 10 points - uhsting, nickthenoodle 8 points - Iz 5 points - Campbell, Liam 4 points - AdamAloud 2 points - Bre, Jerick 1 points - DionTheSats123


18. Latvia: Samanta Tina - Still Breathing (104 points)
18 points - Oliver 11 points - Ghosty 10 points - AdamAloud, dan-G 8 points - Pavel 7 points - Liam, Campbell, SevenSeize, Alex! 5 points - RobBob, Colm 4 points - Cameron 3 points - Iz 2 points - Jade


Now we have both of the marmite planned semi final closers - some people say unlistenable screeching, some people say ARTPOP *.* - you can decide which one is which. Qualifiers? Well like this year, both could go either way so the drama of envelope 10 for both semi finals remains with us for another year!

15. Armenia: Athena - Chains On You (116 points)
18 points - Jade 15 points - Cameron 13 points - Bre 12 points - Riser, LUKE, RobBob 9 points - Jason 8 points - Alex! 7 points - LexC 3 points - NocheLuna, nickthenoodle 1 point - Vulker, Jerick, SevenSeize, Liam


16. Sweden: The Mamas - Move (111 points)
13 points - nickthenoodle, DionTheSats123 12 points - Cameron 9 points - n4yr 8 points - LexC, danG 7 points - Sergej, Jerick 6 points - gooddelta, Campbell, NocheLuna 4 points - RobBob, Riser, Jahq 2 points - Alex!, Jafet


Both of these female acts will not be on the 2021 stage for different reasons. The Mamas, despite overperforming expectations on the melfest public vote twice, were usurped into third place in Melfest 2021 and another condender for the "Poor Bitch" award, Athena has now had two appearances on the stage taken away from her for reasons beyond her control. I'd expect we're very likely to see Athena in Valetta 2022 and maybe The Mamas can unexpectedly overperform again in a future post-Covid melfest?

So the next two songs are tied BUT it is actually possible to separate this tie unlike the one at the bottom of the scoreboard. Any guesses for who they are?

Albania falling where they have is no great surprise but WTF at both Malta and Sweden, expected them both to be locks for the lower end of the top 10.

I'm with Iz, hopefully Bulgaria is the one with broad enough appeal to secure the win but who knows anymore.

I think the next to drop out will be between Australia, Ireland and Serbia.
