Germany

 

6 songs out of Germany's 14 available received points, so fairly concentrated, thankfully.

 

Will Church "Hold On" - 1 point

Ikke Hüftgold "Lied mit gutem Text" - 2 points

Frida Gold "Alle Frauen in mir sind müde" - 2 points

Lonely Spring "Misfit" - 5 points

Anica Russo "Once Upon a Dream" - 6 points

 

And it's not even close as folk favourite 🇩🇪 Patty Gurdy - "Melodies Of Hope" wins this round with 11 points.

 

 

Finland

 

Suddenly become everyone's favourite national final (yass), the song winning got the highest points among all of the six Tier 2 countries.

 

Kuumaa "Ylivoimainen" - 2 points

Lxandra "Something to Lose" - 4 points

Portion Boys "Samaa taivasta katsotaan" - 5 points

Robin Packalen "Girls Like You" - 5 points

Keira "No Business on the Dancefloor" - 9 points

 

meaning the winner with a massive 15 points is none other than 'somehow-last-placer' and current Hendinian entry 🇫🇮 Benjamin - Hoida mut.

Norway

 

Again, great national final, I got votes for 8 songs here.

 

Swing'it "Prohibition" - 2 points

Akuvi "Triumph" - 2 points

Maria Celin "Freya" - 3 points

Ella "Waist" - 3 points

Eline Thorp "Not Meant to Be" - 4 points

Elsie Bay "Love You in a Dream" - 5 points

 

and then we have a top 2 of Jone "Ekko inni meg" and Ulrikke "Honestly" with 8 points each. Ulrikke got two top marks, Jone got one top mark (mine) and two 2-points. Therefore, I declare that Norway's entry will be my fave Jone 🇳🇴 Ulrikke - Honestly

and now as soon as Buzzfest results happen and the very exciting final round shows up make sure to vote in it, thank you to those of you who did vote but let's get a lot more for the final second chance contest because if enough people vote I genuinely don't know who would win.

Sorry WHAT? Flamenco is terrible, how the f*** did that win one of the best National final selections of the year?!

Yasss "Flamenco" and Patty Gurdy!

 

Nice to see a couple of uhsting's choices overturned here just to make it worth running.

Not Flamenco winning <_< y'all BONES

 

I can live with other overturns though :P

Spain is the only national final I know this year so I can absolutely say Flamenco is a terrible choice Agoney/Vicco deserved to smash!

Spain

 

I got votes for 11 songs for Spain so I will present the top 5:

 

lower down, surprisingly very little for what I thought were faves in Megara and Fusa Nocta, getting 1 and 2 points respectively

 

Alice Wonder - "Yo quisiera" - 4 points

Vicco - "Nochentera" - 5 points

Karmento - "Quiero y duelo" - 8 points

 

And then there's a tiebreak with Agoney - "Quiero arder" and Aritz - "Flamenco" both on 9 points. In this case, as the songs are moving onto a further voting contest, then more highest votes is generally a better tiebreak than 'more votes', so, 🇪🇸 Aritz - "Flamenco" with two top marks is the Spanish entrant.

OMG! If I had voted I would have chosen Agoney - "Quiero arder" definitely. :( I watched the Benidorm finale and I don't even remember that Flamenco song. :unsure:

BJ having a Belgium NF moment sfbgjkshsg

I would also have voted for Agoney - "Quiero arder"

Flamenco is legit bottom 3 of the whole of an amazing Benidorm Fest, who actually voted other than Jahq :lol:

Joseph :kink:

 

And a one point from NocheLuna.
