They were my wild guess for tonight's win

What these votes are telling me, is that @dcro is really fond of Ninas

Thank you @dcro for the three points

It's interesting how Jessica Shy is actually the biggest deal right now in Lithuania and probably the most streamed artist here for a second year in a row, but when you throw her in international waters, TISC is not convinced But you can be a very very happy musician even if you're huge in just a single country, it's entertaining how popularity bubbles work.

Wait for Moldova to vote if you want to make bold guesses like that

Finally someone to claim my witch title from years ago

Yes, they ran it into the ground after our exit

Always happy when I get the chance to score a country that I haven't in a while and this time your song landed in my taste of music

Speaking of authoritarian regimes, I'm still the only one to score New Zealand, like how why and again why?

In before they give 12 to the Czechs

Ooh, another 6, thank you, Bulgaria!!! @Federer91

I enjoy my authoritarian regime though, helps me make a bigger impact on the music that I think often gets overlooked in this contest. But that is very very subjective dependent on who you ask

He participated in one contest bruh

I think with the 20 contests to look back on, I'm super mega predictable now if you're waiting for points from Lithuania Although sometimes it still doesn't work out, like this edition where I could've scored my top 20, but couldn't. Slovakia has points from me in three different contests, but all of them were the very first five

@OlympicIRL saves Lithuania from the point drought thanks bud!

"Spit Of You" has become one of my all time favourite songs, the entire premise of the record is brilliant and as much as I love him for his music, I especially adore him for his lyrics. Brilliant writer. Also, speaking of Paramore, I fell in love with "Liar" from that album

@Cobi and I think that Lithuania isn't the only one, as Denmark is the very first country in TISC history to go from 66 to 70 points after their own vote

Now that you mention it, it's even more weird that New Zealand didn't score. I personally think they were right up there with Blaue Blume in terms of genre

@Cobi I think there's a problem with the scoreboard, because it might be somewhere from the future I believe Lithuania doesn't have 17 points just yet

I don't know why, but I think that my and the Danish juror tastes in music are so well meshed together, that I always feel like I did something wrong when Lithuania fails to score from Denmark Guess that's what I get for sending pop

The song was definitely something that I really like, heck, it was enough to climb to 18th after all. But somehow something didn't click and I didn't feel connected to the song. I really like rock music in general, it would've been a far far different story if you've sent any track from Sam Fender's "Seventeen Going Under" album, which I personally think might've been the best record in all 2022

Some fun Lithuanian voting stats and why this edition turned out special to me as a juror. New 12 points from Lithuania, for the first time ever to Denmark. This is a country that I really love at TISC, it scored points from me in 12/20 contests, but the last time they medaled, was the very first TISC in 2013. Greece with 11 points is the very first time that Greece gets points from Lithuania in 20 contests, so that's a bit of history here. Italy with 10 points, last time they got points from Lithuania was Annual 2018, also 10 points Argentina got a PB from Lithuania with 7 points, last time I scored them was 2017 Open. That is something in common that Chile had with them as they were too last scored by me in 2017 Open. Lastly, it's the 8th contest in a row that United States score points, 4th in a row that Czech Republic scores points and twice in a row for Netherlands and then India, this being their third time scored by Lithuania. AND THE RESERVES: 13. France 14. Indonesia 15. Croatia 16. Germany 17. Hungary (for the longest time was in my top 12 and then just got outgrown by other songs) 18. Great Britain 19-21. Brazil, Poland, Portugal 22-23. Kazakhstan, Slovenia

Very nice indie pick, I really enjoyed it

LITHUANIA DENMARK 12 GREECE 11 ITALY 10 NEW ZEALAND 9 SWEDEN 8 ARGENTINA 7 NETHERLANDS 6 IRELAND 5 CHILE 4 CZECH REPUBLIC 3 INDIA 2 USA 1 ¡Adiós! *I didn't expect Denmark to be a hot commodity this edition Blaue Blume was the group that forever changed the way I voted in this contest. I remember "In Disco Lights" and how it grew on me after I had already sent the votes and it was one of my biggest voting regrets in TISC. It's amazing that the band found its way back to me with another amazing song and my first ever 12 points to Denmark. Thank you @Agger and @Wumo for this amazing song*

Anybody wants to go at it and try to guess my twelve points?
