Aaaaand Italy is back in the lead  

This TISC has more changes in the lead than the Indy500.

I was deciding between two songs from Heľenine oťi, that second song would probably mark more in Hungarian hearts. Song Called Langos

 

Yep, 12 points from Hungary.

When sent my votes I didn't expect that my 4 points to  will be this important.

A couple of weeks ago I said that my 12 points is predictable this time. So... let's see if anyone can guess it.

This was a frustrating session for . Nice to break into the triple digits once more. I am getting tired of finishing just off the podium though.

It's been rough for non-European countries, this can be the third TISC in a row where we have an all European podium. We had 11(!) TISC in a row where we had at least one non-European country on the podium, but Annual 2022 broke that stat. Somehow I broke the contest for non-Europeans when I hosted last year.

I have no idea which of      benefits from having many Eastern/Central European countries in the final session. Maybe it should benefit Germany in theory, but they got an English language song.

[Vektor 3,196]

That's a great comeback for Serbia, right before all the Eastern European countries vote in the final session. They got a pretty good chance to reach the Top10.

[Vektor 3,196]

 still alive for the podium, and here come  and  to maybe help them.

[Vektor 3,196]

Lol, two 12 points from two multi-juries, and almost nothing from the rest.  What a strange contest for us. 

 

Thanks France!

Germany getting more points from Malta than Italy... not a good sign for Italy.

Anytime that someone complains that it's impossible for someone to win, I always think back to HOW THE FUCK did Lithuania ever win.

 

And it's not like I haven't tried to replicate the success, but we've never seen a top 5 ever since

 

So, it's possible, you just need a miracle.

I mean, I am getting the impression that you have a significant number of English language songs to choose from. So technically Lithuania had a small, but still sizable chance to win some day. Hungary for example has a weird language and almost none of its artists make songs in English or in any of the popular languages. The chances of Hungary ever having a world famous singer is nonexistent. 

[Vektor 3,196]

The Top4 is insanely close, probably the closest we've ever had after 20 nations.

The fact that you can't win with a song not in english... unless you're from Europe 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

Or the fact that if you're not from Europe, you're probably here just for the fun 

Hey, Colombia almost did it at Open 2017. It's possible, all you need is... one of most well-known Latin American songs of the past 20 years. (and you probably still lose to Ireland) 

 

[Vektor 3,196]

I got curious about what are the top songs not in English per contest, just to see which nations have been most successful at sending non-English language songs. So for this break, here are the Top Non-English Language Songs per TISC:

 

Open 2022 -  - 4th place

Annual 2022 -  - 1st place

Open 2021 -  - 5th place

Annual 2021 -  - 4th place

Open 2020 -  - 6th place

Annual 2020 -  - 2nd place

Open 2019 -  - 4th place

Annual 2019 -  - 5th place

Open 2018 -  - 5th place

Annual 2018 -  - 1st place

Open 2017 -  - 2nd place

Annual 2017 -  - 3rd place

Open 2016 -  - 6th place

Annual 2016 -  - 2nd place

Open 2015 -  - 2nd place

Annual 2015 -  - 5th place

Open 2014 -  - 3rd place

Annual 2014 -  - 1st place

Open 2013 -  - 2nd place

 

 

Yep, I think you all guessed which nation had the most  number of Top Non-English language songs after 19 editions. 

 

5 -  

3 -    

1 -                

 

[Vektor 3,196]

 still with a really high 6.64 PPJ.

 

They got points from 11 nations out of 14. They are in the Top5 of 8 nations out of 14. 

[Vektor 3,196]

I didn't really expect this contest to be the one where the US might finally win TISC for the first time, but I guess it would make sense? 

[Vektor 3,196]

I think Denmark is now the 6th country to give 12 points to Hungary since I joined.

 

12 points to

 

Open 2019 -    

Annual 2020 - none

Open 2020 - none

Annual 2021 - none

Open 2021 -  

Annual 2022 -  

Open 2022 -  

Annual 2023 -  

[Vektor 3,196]

7.33 PPJ for  after 9 juries. They would get 271 points by the end of the contest with this average.

6.77 PPJ for  after 9 juries. They would get 251 points by the end of the contest with this average.

 

As I said earlier, really good first session for the Top2 songs. 

[Vektor 3,196]

Lol, the plot twist after getting 0 points until the end of the first session. 

 

Thanks Denmark!

[Vektor 3,196]

We almost never have a battle as clear as  v  this early on, I wonder if this will continue until the end.

Thank you Kazakhstan, China and Great Britain for the points 

I'm already surprised by how well/how bad some songs are doing

I also didn't think that  would struggle this much.
