I offer my congratulations to @Benolympique and @Bohemia on their win for France and to @Belle and @heywoodu on their medals for Sweden and the Netherlands respectively.

 

A huge thank you to everyone who voted for Greece, I'm delighted you liked our song. A top five finish is a dream result for us, hopefully we can improve it further in the future and one day earn a podium finish. I think that's definitely our next goal.

 

Adding to this impressive result, we also earned a bronze medal in the team event. I congratulate all our teammates in Brno Swans who contributed to this, @heywoodu, @Dragon, @Quasit and @Federer91. We couldn't have achieved this without your help.

 

And of course, a huge thank you to @Hipooo, who had the demanding task to host and managed to offer us an excellent contest. 

 

 

Time to reveal my votes, after some observations.

 

I can say this is the third TISC I'm taking part and I kept my perfect record in voting for the winning song. However, this is the first time I gave my 12 points to the winner. In the previous contests, I awarded fewer points and the songs didn't earn enough points to eventually score anything from Greece.

 

Eight countries from those I voted made it to our top 12, including every country in my first seven. Four of them, France, Canada, USA and Indonesia made it in the exact place I had them. Off note, after voting, I had to break a tie between USA and Indonesia. I had them seperated just by one point and it turned out the tie was for 5th place, exactly where I had placed the USA.

 

 

1st	12 pts	France
2nd	11 pts	Canada
3rd	10 pts	Ireland
4th	9 pts	China
5th	8 pts	USA
6th	7 pts	Indonesia
7th	6 pts	Germany
8th	5 pts	Romania
9th	4 pts	Vietnam
10th	3 pts	Chile
11th	2 pts	Hungary
12th	1 pts	Denmark
Res1		Lithuania
Res2		India
Res3		New Zealand

 

 

I hope to see everyone again in Spain, in a few months.

Thanks for the votes and congratulations on the great result for Greece! I love reading these posts from the Greek jury and the Croatian jury too where they finally got a breakthrough result. Good luck for next time again!

I am fairly confident LIthuania's jump in the second half is the record one yet. 19 places gained!

 

J'en Suis La Award - Lithuania (34th --> 15th)

- the nation who gained most places in the second half of the Grand Final -

 

Passionfruit Award - New Zealand (Standard Deviation: 2.00)

- the nation who scored the most consistent points -

 

STOP THE COUNT! Award - Sweden (Last Lead: 39.0% votes in (16/41))

- the last non-winning leader -

France's win was written in the stars, because ever since Greece gave the lead to France, they never lost it afterwards.

Thanks for voting   song:

@Cobi -  @Dnl - @heywoodu - @amen09 - @dophuquy - @Glen - @Ionoutz24 - @Wumo - @Griff88 - @Argenis Gonzalez

 

The  29th place  wasn't a surprise (if you put a song of 1963), but we have choose this song from Gianni Morandi, one of his first success, because is an evergreen. 

 

Congratulations at @Bohemia @Benolympique for the win. Despite don't received points from Italian jury, in my list was 9th.

 

Thanks at @Hipooo for host the show.

Not part of the original deal.

 

I might be sleep deprived, but I ain't gonna get scammed out of my hard earned 3% 

I wish I had a better offer, so for now I'll take up yours

 

I'm still not giving up the 97% tho

What a day! I enjoyed my first ever TOISC as a spectator and had a blast! From the waking up here in the States and catching up with the early results, following live in the afternoon and seeing get the win in the end. I hope to take part in future events, if possible.

 

Congrats once again to @Bohemia and @Benolympique!

That’s wonderful, glad you enjoyed your first experience. The threads of most of the previous contests are available on the forum so if you ever feel bored some day, you can re-live one of those Grand Finals also  

 

And you are more than welcome to join our next edition as a participant. The next one is being hosted in Spain in the early months of 2023 (final will probably be March) and is for songs released in the past year. Hope to see you with us

One thing I forgot to mention, I was genuinly surprised that @heywoodu didn't award any points to a song which mentions "vino" (as in Alexander Vinokourov, well not really, but still).

 

But then again, the Dutch jury is notoriously difficult to impress.
