Finally have the time to react to this contest.
 
Thanks again to all those who gave points to Portugal, i'm always happy to share a bit of my land's music to you and the fact that some of you liked a song from my hometown is even better! 
 
Also I wonder if the 15th place is some top record for Portugal? 
 
In any case, congrats to Italy for the win, although it was not one of my favorite songs at all (it was 22 on my top list) but i have a peculiar musical taste 
 
Some comments about the points i gave:
 
 
 - 12  Loved the melody and i like chinese language in songs so this as a topper to me
 - 11  I found out about Jain thanks to TISC many years ago, and i became a fan thanks to that. I stopped following her songs some time ago so when i heard her voice and learned she had this new stuff, i knew this was gonna be one of my top 3.
 - 10 Such a powerful sound!
 - 9 The type of spanish music i like. It gave me so much vibes from early 2000s spanish music, which brings many happy memories from my teenage years there.
 - 8 This traditional songs are always gonna get points from me, 100% 
 - 7 I could see this one in Eurovision
 - 6 As more as I hear this one, the better it gets. One of my favorites right now actually
  - 5 ,  - 4, Nothing to say about this ones, just sounded nice
 - 3 , Don't find it particularly special but the message of the lyrics is really great so had to have points
  - 2 Nothing to say again, just sounded nice
 - 1 I love this song, the artist, and the amazing message it gaves (just like the movie), but I usually try to never give any points to famous singers/songs, unless they are so good that it is impossible for me to do so, which is why I had reserved my "1 point" to this one.
 
 
 
I really liked this edition though! Can't wait for the next one! Thanks to everyone who shared with all of us a bit of your country's music!
 

Now that it's all over, I'd like to offer my congratulations to @Gianlu33,@Henry_Leon, @Pablita, @SteveParker on their win , but also to @Wandererand @Belle on their medals . 
 
Extending my congratulations to @Henry_Leon, who run the contest smoothly throughout and hosted a great show this weekend . 
 
Thank you to those who voted for our song, @Roamingrover86, @OlympicIRL, @Wumo, @IoNuTzZ, @Wanderer, @vinipereira . Unfortunately my song choice proved to be completely unsuccessful and the result is rather awful, but it is what it is. We can only aim at better results from here.
 
A huge thank you to our teammates @Belle, @Wanderer, @NikolaB, @Ionoutz24 . You gifted us the team event gold, as I think our song contributed just 7 points out of the 466.

As a general comment, we were two jury members this time, however we voted 22 different songs. Brazil and Portugal were the only songs that got points from both of us. 
 
This was my 6th TISC. I haven't voted for the winning song twice and both times it was Italy.
 
This was the first time that I didn't give points to any of the eventual medallists. New Zealand and Sweden were both among my reserves.
 
I have never been as sure that a song is going to win, as I was with the Dutch entry this time. I'm very surprised it only got 10th place.
 
As a whole, this was another fun experience and the fight for gold was thoroughly enjoyable.
 
I'm looking forward to seeing all of you again in the next open contest this autumn!

Oooh Heaven  (both from Cian Ducrot and Niall Horan)
 
The one by Cian Ducrot has a special place in my heart because my friend and I heard it a lot when we were on the roads of Ireland last summer, so at first we were a bit annoyed by it but then it became our anthem and we started loving it, so it brings back good memories (OK sorry I'm gonna stop now with the boring stuff about my life )

Can the 4th place get chocolate too

Can the 4th place get chocolate too

@OlympicIRL a little anecdote about your song, I already knew it before the contest but it was the acoustic version, which I listened to a lot last year. So listening to the original version felt weird at first, but I grew to like it too, although I still prefer the acoustic version

Congrats Italy, and of course New Zealand and Sweden 
Thank you @Henry_Leon, you were an amazing host!

Oh it is

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.)

Team Bumsi going from the team that got the least points in the first session to the one that got the most in the second is a nice comeback
