Well done Cody! You probably saw in my votes reveal, I made this brat cover just for you;

 

Kinda gutted for Skall!

 

But congratulations Cody nonetheless, didn’t make my votes but it was a decent track ^_^

Well that is closer on the vote count than I'd have guessed!

 

Congrats Cody (assuming I don't end up overturning this win when I double check the votes later, and let's face it if that was going to happen to anyone it'd be Cody purely for the chaos), not quite starting the year with a winner that I voted for but close enough, only missed out on my votes by 1 place and was tied in points with my 15 pointer!

 

Will comment on the rest after updating my spreadsheet but a nice comfortable top 20 to start the year I'm rather happy with, 4 places higher than my first entry of last year and a higher points total too. Officially beating all the odds *.*

Congrats Cody! Welcome to the very exclusive tiebreak winners club x

 

Blissfully surprised to have stormed my way to 13th and as high as 5th on the leaderboard at one point on the back of a good number of 18s as well (Rob it's about time you paid me back for all those points over the years x)

Well done Cody! Poker Face is indeed a classic and I quite like its vibe from your entry too.

 

Good to see Fljótavík finishing 3rd as well as Land of DW on the Top 10!

 

Expected more from our entry, but I'm glad I'm not at bottom 10 again. :lol:

Well that is closer on the vote count than I'd have guessed!

I expect at least one paragraph mourning the severe lack of POPHub that tragically befell this finale xx

Wow! Well there you go, congrats Cody. The odds for Cor Lupus were correct, how about that! Congratulations - it's a brilliant track, very addictive and a deserving winner.

 

Quite sad for Skall, as I did rate them higher even so. Losing on a tie is always tough but especially when you haven't won in so long! :drama:

 

Congrats Fljótavík too, I thought that would be 2nd and it really wasn't far off! Really cool track to get into the top three, even if it just missed my final vote.

 

Elated to see Cumulonimbia in the top ten, what a find! And pop managed a good few places in the top ten including the winner, so it still has life in this contest yet.

 

I did think Aeroche/Kluminican Republic would end up higher, as well as Aelandor but it was a really busy final.

 

42nd and last...oh dear. Well it's nice to get a unique position for once, and it doesn't really get any worse than this in a final. We have finished last before in a final of 37, and clearly this wasn't a competitive entry, but I still love it. Bit of limp return all around after the DNQ last month! But I really appreciate the votes for it.

 

Thanks Kath for the wonderful hosting, very brat and completely fit the brief and then some, loved it <3 Hopefully in anticipation of Charli sweeping the Grammys.

Tense finale. I never would have predicted Skall battling for the win (thought other songs had a lot more hype)

 

Congrats to the winner

Well done Cody! You probably saw in my votes reveal, I made this brat cover just for you;

 

I mean I wouldn’t stan a Green Ranger for nothing!!!

 

Aside: genuinely could not call who RabbitFurCoat would have preferred between Blanck Mass and ALT BLK ERA.

In case I haven’t said it before - great hosting Kath and enjoyed the visuals

SEMI FINALS SPREADSHEET

 

FINAL SPREADSHEET

 

(sorry the final spreadsheet is a bit rough, I'll sort it out tomorrow x)

Congrats Cody, well deserved :clap:

 

I missed few thank you’s in the end for giving votes to Otha (FARC, Scotland 2, Silas :wub:, jimmwats, Robbot, and hinterlandia) those were all juicy points that helped Otha finish Top 5 :cheeseblock: so thank you thank you everyone :wub:

 

Kath, you always deliver the fun in hosting and you do it so effortlessly, so big thank you :wub:

 

Also happy to see lots of my pointers doing so well <3

Wow, what a relief. I knew my semi results would be close to elimination. :rolleyes:

4th in the semis. :o

Congrats Cody - your entry didn't make my votes but I ranked it 19th so it was close. Fljótavík got my 15 and Skall 11 so I'm delighted to see them on the podium! Elsewhere in the top 10 I also voted for Bøtanikkä and Cumulonimbia, so will take 50% being either Jadakissnia or songs I voted for. Not me giving FSR Rontvia 15% of their points though, wtf </3 Bronzil, Elëdan + Trifoski robbed too x

 

A 10th place finish is a pretty neat start to my 10th year of competing *.* thank you to all who voted for Oklou :wub:

 

Oops I spy 12 points from Utopia in the semi :cry:

 

Thank you for a fabulous hosting job, Kath

Skall won't be inviting Utopia to the next embassy party

 

 

 

I’ve lost a tie for 1st before, it sucks ass. Damn but I can’t complain as I voted for both songs oops

 

That’s a really strong top 10. Thank you everyone for voting for CHAS and very surprised with the high pointers especially.

Thanks for the great hosting Kath and congrats Cody!

I didn't end up voting for 'Hunt You Down', but it was a solid choice, it was in my 'might vote for it' pack that I didn't need to use at all in the end.

 

I'm very happy with 6th, it's my best result since forever. Thanks Everyone for voting for 'The Arena'! :heart:

 

The whole top 5 is pretty much amazing, though, the 2-5 section made my top 10, which doesn't happen too often!

 

 

 

Congrats Cor Lupus!

 

I’m very happy with 12th and two b2b top 20 finishes after struggling to get there most of last year. :D
