A 10 and a 12?! I was honestly not expecting that after all the bad reviews. I'm glad at least a couple of people appreciated my entry, because they're really good. Also, they changed their name last week, from Rosemary to Pinki Rings and are teasing some new music! - Made me wish I had waited a little longer to enter them, but oh well.

And congrats Italy!

I do not understand these results. However, it has come to my attention that the average of how much everyone likes a song =/= how successful it will be as you can only get positive points from people who like your songs, which is probably why my song scored so low, because it was just so middling for so many people, which I really don't think it is, but oh well. @toolenduso this is why it lost so badly.

As for the winners, it feels rather odd. Most of the songs I liked did not place, except for Lithuania, which was great and I'm glad we all can agree on this.

I wonder how I'll perform next contest, I really have no idea. I mean, a ten minute song got second place this time, so maybe well, I don't know.

Right, makes sense. Like, a song could be everybody's 11th favorite in the contest, and it would get zero points.

Stuff that's middling for me usually gets ok points because I hate everything

If I gave a numeric score to what makes my good tier it'd only be like a 7/10

Thank you all for congratulating me. HURT is one of my favorite bands who took me out of a dark time in my life. If you enjoy that song I encourage you to listen to their other songs. Thank you once again.

Hurt is amazing and I'm so mad because I can't use my favorite song from them in until late next year. (Fifteen contests.)

Okay, so what was the good part of that Italy song? Sounded like guys who couldn't get into rise against playing some shit then a cello happened and it was like w/e. Was it the cello? Like all y'all never heard a cello before, or what?

congrats tiskill! great track.
I'm fairly happy with that for my first entry. I went for something not too polarizing and maybe a tad on the generic side, so was expecting a middling performance.
