Make that 4 15s now! Thank you Harve :heart: (you were one of the few I was counting on to hopefully be a big fan but I find your taste one of the most unpredictable in this contest with regards to my entries so never taken for granted!)

 

Thanks Dexton as well! Hopefully in good standing to maybe get another top 20 here.

In 2010 we had an edition of the contest with the country names removed and it was mostly still the usual suspects (of that era) finishing the highest.

I vaguely remember that! I found the contest as a whole way more predictable then though. Like Mdice just sent the latest pop-friendly blog-pushed track - and there only seemed to be a limited number of standouts per month - and you knew where it was gonna finish.

Also, thank god you didn't all send your votes in the above format! Nightmare to parse :')

 

Persephonia finally get an 18 in the last four-set of votes, while Lotunia boost Daehun and UVLand back into threat position. So what does that do to the scores? Scoreboard incoming...

It's also interesting though that there are some long established countries who have never received points from another, or just a tiny handful over a long period (maybe Bre can produce a list at some point). So you do wonder if anonymising things would end such droughts.

 

Then again, it's possibly just coincidence in a lot of cases. I was amazed to find myself pointing Jayrusalem for the first time the other month, but they'd often either fallen just outside my votes or missed the final when I'd loved their entries.

Make that 4 15s now! Thank you Harve :heart: (you were one of the few I was counting on to hopefully be a big fan but I find your taste one of the most unpredictable in this contest with regards to my entries so never taken for granted!)

A lot of the alternative-ish entries (read: Persephonia entries) I either adore or find them fine but have no desire to listen to again, even tho on paper I should love them all! Apologies for the fickleness.

Izzy Bizu squeaks into the lead, with Hendinia just behind. Is this the end?

Thank you Jay and NocheLuna!! At least someone from Semi 2 has finally given me points :drama:
There are so many positions in the 30s that I don't have but I'm stuck in one that I actually do already have :deadbanana: unique position please!!

In terms of the discussion about voting, I rarely look at country names unless to remark 'oh, that doesn't sound like their usual thing!' There are so many countries that I regularly forget who is who unless the name makes it obvious.

 

As for name recognition, I'm not sure what my last two results say about me, especially with the across the board winner predictions and promo from AQing this one!

I'll happily take either of the top two but it's gotta be Ultraviolenceland I reckon.
Out of those three contenders I think I'd like Ultra to come out on top? All are very good though so don't mind either way. No shade intended but I'm a bit confused how Hushkanukia is all the way up in 5th? The track didn't leave much impression on me in comparison to the rest of the top 10.

Ooh I do get an 18 after all!! Dobago my saviours in the dying moments. Thanks Dobbo :wub: x

 

As I have been expecting all along I'm not a big fan of any of the songs near the top but 'Faded' is the best of that top 3 by some distance - lowkey want Hendinia to win though just because Rob was a delightful host last time xx
