Big congrats to Dandy, well deserved! 🙌

Thanks to everyone who voted big for Dunes of Djoser, I see you!

And thanks for a super exciting way of presenting the final, Silas 🤩

What an incredible and deserved result for Dandy* — and the best top two of the year



I can't remember a top five I loved as much as mine this month, and MISS LUXURY has been my discovery of the year. Obsessed. Ra-ta-ta-ba-ta-ta



Expected the worst post-veto — for no reason other than being a ball of anxiety — so someone please slap me next time. Silas and I were messaging that morning ("9am meetings should be illegal") and scrambling to find our entries — lovely for us both to end up with great results tonight. Thank you, everyone 🖤

(Funny thought, my little good luck streak started with Ninajarichi this year — queen)

I stand by that. 9am meetings should be illegal,

i barely function before 10am

Yeah I don’t think it’ll ever replace the usual way of doing things, and nor should it, but you never know what might work out unless you try it. After 176 contests it’s good to still be trying out new things I think and I hope future hosts are encouraged to take a few risks and put their own spin on the proceedings

I’m happy the concept and vision I had in my head translated into a workable results show at the end of the day.

If I am allowed to host again u can be assured of an injection of another dose of chaos if that's what you mean by one's own spin on the proceedings xx

It was SO obvious to me from first listen that Infohazard sounded like as if had intentionally been created as BJSC bait. It really taps into dance, pop and something a bit more experimental all in one, so it was always going to appeal to every bloc. Completely deserving aswell, so nearly my 18 for a country that I don't vote for particularly often.

VERY happy with 9th place, didn't expect it to be top 10 at all (I see people saying I do it all the time but it's only my 2nd one of the year, it's been quite a middling year so far!) and glad that sending RnB-pop actually did better than I'd have foreseen.

Actually really loved this contest, I get fatigue from too many countries myself, so I think everything being condensed suits my lack of attention span. It helps that a lot of countries brought their A-game, so it also felt high quality AND condensed.

Great results concept too Silas, agreed that I wouldn't want it every time, but thought it was a fun change that kept me nervous to do each scroll incase I arrived. Thoroughly enjoyed it <3
