We are such drama queens, keeping the suspense until the end

Congratulations on a 3rd TISC victory!!!

Yay Israel!!! . So happy that once again we have not left any nation on the dreaded nul points

Actually no need, @Olympian1010 can compare it with his points tally since it will be the final result.

Does it involve cold cucumbers?

@heywoodu after this final round of voting can we compare the scoreboards again? My brain is definitely failing as the night wears on

Yes but I just listen to the audio instead, so I look for an alternative. But each to their own. Of course if I don't like the song I will discount it but if I listen and know I love the song, of course I will have the audio version.

I don't judge a song on the video and if I love the song enough I will seek it out happily.

So it's pretty certain now, we will stay on 92 points. I was hoping for 100 points but still not bad considering the rather bad start.

I felt so sorry for the sudden cut at the end of the song because I knew some would judge it on that. Unfairly in my opinion

And as usual, my tastes are drifting further and further from what is considered the general taste. My 12 points has never won the contest but I think in recent editions I am just useless at predicting who is going to win

Yet again I loved song.... @Griff88 always knows how to hit me with the sentimental songs!

You're welcome, very well deserved
