I cant believe what just happened. made it to the final and secured a team spot in Paris 🥹🥹🥹🥹. I shed a lot of happy tears for them. 

I did miss whole contest, not most as I mentioned, but I see (in case of Poland) I didn't miss anything special, 30st place, one of the worst results, I think that I have to reconsider which type of songs I should choose in next editions.
 
Anyway congrats Italy, New Zealand and Sweden for podium  It rare happens, if not first time ever, that my top2 songs finished in top2 overall  

is very close to joining I believe. 

you mean ?

About the hosting TAISC 2025, I am willing to bid for hosting rights  

Thanks @Wumo for the surprising 2 points, have a good "Albanian Trip"

thank you for this magnificent show, great work from our Italian neighbors. I had a great evening . Thank you to all the countries who voted for France, a very nice 4th place (perhaps because the song was in English) and understood by all.. Congratulations to the winner and to all the others who introduced us to beautiful songs.

Thanks so much to @dcro and @Glen for awarding your silver medal to the Irish song and to @Wumo and the Italian jury @Henry_Leon@SteveParker@Gianlu33@Pablita for awarding your 12 points to Ireland this year

Thanks as always for everyone for continuing to participate and make this show interesting and entertaining for us all
 

Yeah, I don't know how other people rank and how they decide, but logically thinking, the disco music genre is one of those genres that are not known for huge variation, which is why many disco songs have a lot of things in common with each other. It's not insane to assume that if you liked Italy, you should have felt somewhat keen on Argentina as well. For me, personally, Argentina even had a bit more to offer in that regard.
 
It would've been okay if Argentina scored like less than Italy, but not by a 110 point margin. I can only assume that if this song was sent let's say by the French jury and it was in French, we'd have at least 80-100 points :/ Although we have a long history of songs in Spanish doing well too, so yeah, it's impossible to explain what goes on in the voting processes of all of the juries  

Surely I can't be the only one who thought that Karla Grunewaldt is like seeing Merida from Brave in real life?
 
 

I gave up on trying to logically understand anything here  
 
There are two disco songs in this edition. One is trying to win the contest, the other is on the second half of the table  
 
There was never any correlation in anything. 

@Werloc you are better than Arvydas  Sabonis, thanks a lot!

The falsest post ever.

: My wife watch the end of the clip and says "what are they doing?, they are crazy", i answer: you dont see the all blacks, arent you?

My personal votes and thoughts -

 
 - 12 (One of the clearest winner picks for me. Great vocals, visuals, arrangement. Plus, the Maori segments are beautiful. @Wanderer)
 - 11 (This was the only other song considered for my 12 points. It caught my attention quickly as well. It stood out from everything else, and the lyrics were interesting @Vektor)
 - 10 (I think we might have some overlapping taste @Vic Liu. I liked the "throwback" nature of this song, and the lyrics/video were fun.)
 - 9 (Just a fun, catchy, lively song. A nice ode to one's homeland @kungshamra71)
 - 8 (I like the risk you took with this @hckošice. It has a great message and stood out from many of the other entires.)
 - 7 (This is similar to some music I listen to more frequently. There was just something about it that keep me thinking about it @Wumo)
 - 6 (A nice dance/party track. It got points for the integration of Maltese @Glen)
 - 5 (Eley has a really good vocal. The song is a great pop track @Werloc) 
 - 4 (Retro in a way that was fun and stuck out @Henry_Leon @Gianlu33 @Pablita)
 - 3 (Definitely an artist with a lot of promise @Hipooo)
 - 2 (This originally feel outside my points, but creeped it's way back in. The vocal is nice and lyrics are interesting enough @Benolympique @Bohemia)
 - 1 (This got me to move, and it was fun, so finally some points for you @konig)
 - R1 (Catchy, but just under the line for points @mrv86)
 - R2 (This almost snuck into the points. I'll be interested to see how she does at Eurovision @NikolaB)
 - R3 (Great vocal, a nice country vibe. I just couldn't find room for it in my points @Fer GUA)
 - R4 (I couldn't find the translated lyrics, and that hurt your chances for points @justony. The song was interesting, but I couldn't undertsand the message.)

The falsest post ever.
