Thank you so much for the points! I think 9th place is the best result for Kazakhstan so far

So happy with my 7th place finish and big congrats to Serbia. That was a stunning performance from start to finish and you absolutely deserved it. This is a fantastic song ?

Top 6 yaay! 

Top 6 yaay! 

Tiebreakers
 
Malta beats Ireland in the battle for bronze, with the smallest of the island nations having received points from 22 national juries...a single jury more than Ireland's 21.

India and France tied for fifth place and both received points from an impressive 17 juries. However, France received two scores of 12 points, whereas India received none, leading to France denying the world's second most populous nation a first ever top-5 finish.

The Netherlands, Argentina and Romania tied for 11th, which goes to the host nation: their score of receiving votes from 14 nations is one higher than the other two. Romania got a single 12-pointer, Argentina did not, and so 12th goes to Romania.
 

Every position where a tie might be involved is the subject of severe scrutineering!

China and Portugal, after a recount, ended up being tied for 18th place. China received points from 13 nations, which is four more than Portugal, and so the Asian giant gets the position.

Indonesia and the United States fought heavily over 20th place, which went to the Asian nation with 11 against 8 in terms of number of nations they've received votes from.

Spain got points from 10 nations, one more than Croatia, and so took away the 25th spot.
 
Israel and Tunisia were in the running for 28th; it went to Tunisia, which received votes from seven juries, two more than Israel.

Last, but definitely not least: Greece and Mexico and their battle for 32nd. It was won by Greece, with 6 nations voting for them against Mexico's 5 nations.

And so we have reached ourselves a conclusion...points have been splintered, ties have been broken...and here we have it, the final standings of the 2020 Totallympics Open International Song Contest!

But unfortunately Malta kills their own team
 
For the second time this year, believe it or not.

MALTA
 
 
 
 
 
I'm sure you won't be reading this message but go straight to the points. But if you do, glad you read it. these are the votes of the Maltese jury:
 
 

Germany 10 India 9 Indonesia 8 Netherlands 7 Lithuania 6 Italy 5 China 4 Spain 3 Ireland 2 Argentina 1

The biggest plot twist of all plot twists.

India's first ever top 6/top 10 will be celebrated nonetheless! 

Thank you @Fly_like_a_don, @IoNuTzZ, @NikolaB, @catgamer and @intoronto for points

Malta

For me personally it's not about energy, but the vocal style. I'm not a huge fan of the overuse of vibrato voice that's pretty popular in Eastern music. This is why this entry was already levels above compared to many previous entries from India. 
 
Still, pretty tough contest this year, ended up in 14th.

Current situation of the UK jury

Yes, it's curious how India that has not received a lot of support with more "energetic" entries, now seems to peak with Christian Rock.
 
Still, great result for them

KAZAKHSTAN
 
 

Canada 11
Germany 10 Malta 9 Lithuania 8 India 7 Romania 6 Serbia 5 United States 4 Italy 3 France 2 Great Britain 1

I'll add to that, my second favourite Indian entry, losing out only to 2017 Open. 

I really liked your song, the music was amazing and beautiful, I was surprised by your choice because it's not at all what we're used to, but it's my favorite Indian entry so far

My friends in Delhi have terrible eating schedule. Breakfast at 12pm, lunch at 5pm and dinner at 11.30pm-1am

Sounds very reasonable if you ask me  I never understood the whole lunch between 12-13, but I've also never been a fan of starting the day from 7 in the morning.
