India completes on 84. Breaks the PB by massive 25 points!

Yay, India! (I can finally cheer for them).

Surely it finished with a tie.

Welp, I realized how my rankings often changed after I sent the votes. This was the attempt to cover all of my moods/impressions/etc.

Czechs had a catchier song...

In the first listen I just ranked them. 1st got 34 points, 2nd 33 and so on. In the second listen I rated each song with 0-10. In the third I again ranked them.

France completes on 81. Below AVG.

These were my preliminary rankings btw. Top 15 qualified for the final round where it was all or nothing. Experimented with something new this time. Malta, Netherlands and Denmark ended up as the reserves. @Werloc you weren't far away.

Nope. Way too fast in fact.

Thanks a million Brazil! Who would have thought that a song about my hometown would earn Croatia's best ever placing. 90 points.

Portugal 73. Below average, but not the worst. My reaction is really? Portugal literally went this year from getting 12 points at Annual to finishing last in my rankings at Open. It sounded like random background music honestly (instrumental only is already not for the contest imo).

Yes. They can avoid it only with 12 from Brazil.

Denmark completes on 50 points. Somewhere in the middle between their AVG and MIN.

Argentina completes on 140 points, beating PB by 20 points.

What's even more exciting is that the places on the Committee are very much on stake too!

Estonia completes on 64 points. Topping their PB by 22 points. But, sadly, they are still waiting for the first TISC medal.

Brazil gave 12 points to Alessia Cara... Stacks up well for Dia Frampton imo.

But seriously. Other songs during the first listen made me sleepy, but then India came... By far the best song.

Croatia India 12 Great Britain 11 New Zealand 10 Ireland 9 United States 8 Indonesia 7 Estonia 6 Canada 5 Chile 4 Uruguay 3 Czech Republic 2 Spain 1 Mislio sam da ću dodijeliti pobjedu Indiji nakon ovoga... Ah, što se može. ------------------------------------------------------------ I thought I'd be handing the win to India right now... Oh, well.

Firstly the GBR song was WTF, but it turned into goosebumps by the second or third listen.

Croatia Great Britain 11 New Zealand 10 Ireland 9 United States 8 Indonesia 7 Estonia 6 Canada 5 Chile 4 Uruguay 3 Czech Republic 2 Spain 1

It was hard to choose between them and the reserves, but I found the Czech song very catchy.

Yes, Spain 1+11

What do I get? Like a quarter of a tangerine?

New Zealand's hippie song. I never thought someone would enter song like that...
