Wohooo! :) But sad for Sandénia :(

Voted! I was familiar with two of the songs beforehand, while two others were great new discoveries! :)

Voted! I liked 24 songs😊 Interestingly enough, I already had 4 other songs on my list of potentials at some point. Most of them didn't receive high points, though, so while I do enjoy them, my love for them just didn't last through repeated listens. That's often the case with potensials. I tend to not listen to them more than a couple of times, and they just stay on that list until I go through them before every new contest. I'm still very happy to qualify, by the way, as I'm still loving my own entry to bits🤩

Ooh my, République d'Áskorza is certainly bringing it! Amazing entry🤩 Not that anyone should be surprised at this, of course, but you know, just worth mentioning😊

Greenfroze has voted! 🥳 Nice and early for once :)

Haha, woohooo!🥳😁

This sounds absolutely wild, haha, love it!😁

I'm loving this airline. Sounds amazing!

I'm LOVING this presentation! Such a great idea!🤩

Forgot to mention that one country got 2 points from me in the semi, but will now get 13 points. Another one got zero points (!), but will now get as much as 9! Other than that, six countries will actually get the exact same amount of points!😅 One final country from my semi gets one more point. Which means I only voted for six countries from semi 1, but three of them will receive more than 9 points!

Greenfroze has voted!🥳

Amazing, thank you so much! Very interesting! 😁

I'm so happy to have made the final again!🤩 Especially now, because after my cheap ass entry got vetoed (although I didn't think it would be), I felt like I should send something inspired, but at the same time a bit of a risk. I just love "Not a Dream", that voice gives me the chills! I figured if I were to end my incredible Q streak record, I'd much rather do it with something special, so that I would still feel really good about what represented me. There have been too many entries in the past (although many years ago now) I admit where I sent something I liked, but not loved, and was probably more inclined to send it because I thought others would like it more than I personally did. And more often than not it didn't resonate with people. Go figure! These past few years, though, and especially from the year where I sent exclusively Japanese or Korean songs (2022), I've grown more confident in my own tastes. So, when I send something I truly appreciate, I do it with a sense of pride. Which means I keep my head held high if I DNQ, and if someone else really enjoys my entry too, it becomes so so so much more rewarding!

It's such a bummer that I lost my 8-pointer (Oslol) and 7-pointer (A-Konohagakure) ☹️ But most of my favorites went through - even from the ones I wanted to vote for, but couldn't - so that's good!

Voted! Had about 20 songs that I liked😁

Performing last! Wow, what an honour😁

Oooh, thank you so much!😁

If anyone could be so kind as to provide an update on this, I would greatly appreciate it! I think I've finally managed to beat my own record😁

Congratulations to Ajanaeda for their debut win! 🥳 300 points is a nice round number. Listening to “Twist The Knife” as I write this, and I think it’s a pretty catchy tune. I gave it 6 points, while “Stranded” got my 13, so even though I would’ve preferred Sumner and FARC to win, I still liked it and I think it’s cool to see pop winning again. I can’t complain at all with that top 10, me being in 8th place and my 18 directly above me. Two top tens in a row for me is pretty rare, so I’m quite pleased with that as well, naturally, even though I had fewer voters than most in the top 20. It’s worth mentioning that I received four 18s (!), which is the second highest anyone got in this final (only by the winner got me beat), and I did notice that Stela Cole popped up in a lot of commiseration lists. “Stereoqueen” had some big fans, which is sweet, but it seems to have been liked by many, so I consider this entry a huge success in more ways than one. Yay! 😁 I also think it’s funny how I ended up at 19th and almost DNQed in my semi. That disparity is funny, and I’ve noticed how that’s happened to me several times in the past, just the other way around with huge success in the semi and then plummeting in the final.I remember for instance being shocked to see how I won a semi final last year but having unimpressive results in the final. What was the record for that again? And there must be other kinds of records to be had here, right? Most number of huge swings/defying projections or something. In any case, thank you to everyone who voted for me, thank you to the host and graphic designer and thank you to most of you for sending songs I enjoyed 😊

Oh! I still need a bronze medal finish!

Voted! I had too many commiserations, so didn't add them to my message this time, but I did like many songs! 😁

First! 🤭

Wohooooo, my stereoqueen qualified! And I only lost my 5-pointer (Yehesi) as well, so that's not bad at all!

Voted!

Cool, yeah, it has definitely grown on me a lot since I first heard it😁
