yasss FARC. I wish New Lexico were top 5 though, this song clicked with me super late. From 0 in the Semis to 18 in the Final, we love to see it x

 

my actions shoving Jafet down a Top 10 spot at the very last moment twice since November :')

Congrats Jake! Also really nice to see Varakë top 5 and New Lexico top 10 (although I wish that could have also been top 5, the strings!!!)

 

Honestly did expect the flop but didn't expect to see those who would end up being huge fans (wow @ Cumulonimbia and numbers points for this type of song!) so thanks to those who did like it :) I'm disappointed to see Lookylion, Mulgracia and Danæviia so low though!

That 10 pts from the last vote just got me back into the top 20. Very happy with 16th place if that is where I end up. Thanks to all who voted for Electric Youth.

 

Thanks for hosting Jake and well done on the double win.

Big congratulations again Jake and thanks for the great hosting, nice to see our two hosts as the top two! I don’t feel like this win was ever in much doubt, it just sounded massive immediately.

 

Another really good top ten, far from being pop dominated in the end in that top five! Some brilliant pop songs in the bottom half of the top ten though along with ourselves - very happy to get that second consecutive top ten and third of the year so soon into the year! Many thanks to all the voters!

 

My faves all lined up between 16-20, which was the same thing that happened at Eurovision, so I’m sorry for the kiss of death as a couple of those were expected to do much better! Still all hits though at least <3

There are a few leaderboard corrections incoming - some good news coming for Cody and Chez, and not so much for Joseph and Sam. (A few other people's points are a few out as well but doesn't affect a lot else - the order of the top 10 is correct but knock off a point or three for Séyetana, Mosquetania and Bøtanikkä)

Well done Jake on winning again. Voting after midnight won't have made any difference to the score obviously. Also please to see Seyetana, Cumulonimbia, Rontiva in the top 10 and East Rukahavian, , Rolloland, UVland and Sovarasma top 20 <3 some awesome discoveries this month and awks at Mulgracia being my 12 in the semi and then ending up 21 in my final rank :'( (I still liked it just got overshadowed by a load of other tracks obviously and being nearer the end).

pleased to have avoided the bottom ten tonight, I expected it to be a mid-table entry so not too disappointed with the position there, especially with as many as 24 voters and a few commiserations too.

congrats to Farc on the double win, very much deserved and with one of my fave songs of the contest.

very impressive to see Aeroche and Séyetana make up the rest of the top 3 too meaning I gave double figure points to the entire top 3.

Aw 26th is not quite a unique position as I got there before with jj, ah well, happy to have made the final nonetheless!

Congrats to FARC for completing that rare back-to-back win so convincingly! Fantastic to see Aeroche and Séyetana finishing in the top three, and also yay for all of the top five being songs I voted for, great results!

 

And I'm really happy with 12th place in the end, that's the highest position we've been in all night and what a perfect time for that to happen. Thanks so much to everyone who voted for Insomnia (especially the nine of you that put it in your top three, glad you loved it too!), pleased that it's delivered our third highest finish in the contest to date! :heart:

Yikes that was a close shave in the semi :drama:

thank you to everybody for taking part this month and special thanks to miss aeroche lewlew haself for doing the semi results and generally helping me a lot along the way. you are a legend, the moment.

 

it is very weird presenting a set of results where you have won again! thank you to everyone who votes for us; much love <3

well done jakey! x

Crazy how low New Lexico finished in the semi, seemed like such a standout in it.

Edited May 27, 20214 yr by gooddelta

Wow just catching up and for the remaining points I got, thrilled to have finished 11th (unique position!) and second in the semi again, consecutively (i think) :wub: Congrats to FARC, not far off my votes in a difficult final. :wub:

Also, Mulgracia didn’t deserve to come last in the final.

Feels like an absolute eternity since I was in the top 10 so yippee for that rounding off what's been a bit of a sheet week for me! Congratulation for winning again Jake u whore x

 

And that's quite a glow up to 6th for me from 15th in the semi (I think it wasn't particularly poppy so obviously my voter pool wasn't as deep as the finals).

Good to move up one place to 15th. I see I came third in the semi. :o

 

I hope Bre will tell us later when was the last time someone won consecutive contests. The list of winners on the stats page hasn't been updated for four years.

Right now the audit is complete ~

 

Ofc as was clear for a while there was no real competition for the win here, it's another one I voted for anyway (the same number of points I gave Jake's last winner and all) which is all I can really hope for! FARC becoming the 5th country to get back-to-back wins, nearly 6 years after Aquafina becoming the fourth and 9 years after Aeroche became the 3rd :cheeseblock: (Mdiče and FSR Rontvia being the first two to do it in the earlier days of the contest).

 

That is a really strong top 5 all around (voted for 4/5 and the other was a commiseration), and extremely close in the end for the other medal positions! Absolutely fantastic to see both Sewerslvt and Daniel Bortz getting top 5 positions and a medal for the former, my two biggest niche faves coming through :wub: and congrats to Varakë on a long awaited second top 10 hit and new peak! Pleased to see Holland-Oats finally getting their first top 10 too (it was only a mid table for me so sorry if my 'hype' post for it was misleading but clearly there were still enough people who did like it more than me :kink:) and Self Esteem creeping into the top 10 as well making it 3 of my top 6. Arcodesia and Sovarasma also making the top 15 for 5/6 (a very well deserved new peak for the latter) just leaving poor brave Jadakissnia stranded in the lower half of the leaderboard out of those niche faves, still 26th isn't too terrible I suppose!

 

Also great to see East Rukahavian deservedly getting their biggest hit for a while (happy that a risk paid off there) and #00274E ending up with a decent result after the slow start. Don't think there's anything that massively underperformed my expectations this month, would have liked to see Zanmatony/Danæviia/Terra Avium a bit higher but I didn't really expect any of those to be huge contenders anyway. Always good to see everyone managing to clear the 100 points mark (2 months in a row now!)

 

Happy to have secured my second top 20 finish of the year - nearly exactly replicating House Of Harm with the same number of points and finishing only one place lower. Thanks to all who voted for gupi, especially Iz again for the 18 as those have proved hard to come by for me this year so far. Argh at the semi-final results though - me finishing 2nd in the semi and tied with the leader :o I guess the 16th place in the final is a little underwhelming with that knowledge but still I'll take it :kink: the results from semi 2 are a little whacky in general with Rolloland and Tartford also having big regressions while Varakë and New Lexico made big improvements!

 

Thanks to Jake (and Leww) for the hosting <3 and now time for us to all have a little break from the main contest until July, but stay tuned for the long-awaited return of a certain other contest in the mean time ~

Ah that's better, avoiding the bottom 5 woop :cheer: I suppose you can call that a result, I wasn't expecting a big hit here (and indeed I was lucky to get out of that semi as expected!), I just really wanted to show them to others as they are a very underrated band with such a unique, cinematic style yet almost all their songs have less than 10,000 views. Very pleased it had a positive impact on a lot of you too even if a lot of them were trickle votes :kink:

 

That's a fantastic top 3, I voted for all of them and my 18 is in there which is wonderful. Junko Still Loves You is easily my favourite Seyetana entry since...the last Sewerslvt entry, yeah I definitely need to check them out more x Cumulonimbia and FSR Rontvia in the top 10 is great to see as is Persephonia and Rolloland in the top 20. Would've liked to see Jadakissnia, Zanmatony and Land of DW higher, but I suppose it's still decent. Also, I see Arcodesia matching my position of 12th with their post rock entry, the consistency for that genre :cheeseblock:

 

Thanks for hosting this, Jake, loved this contest <3

Good to move up one place to 15th. I see I came third in the semi. :o

 

I hope Bre will tell us later when was the last time someone won consecutive contests. The list of winners on the stats page hasn't been updated for four years.

 

This is one particular stat that the comatose stats thread was still accurately representing until now lol x
