Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yay a 12! <3 Tammy. I want more though, I'm aiming for the top.

Congo needs more points too. It's way too low right now.

Ahh, pretty good outcome. Slovenia was easily the best of the tracks I didn't already know and 3rd place ain't too bad

As ever I seem to do pretty decent in BOTBs

I'm disappointed. A famous artist covering a famous song won the best of the best. Nothing against famous artists or covers, but this particular combo was just "ugh"; not being familiar with Johnny Cash I was expecting to be surprised the way I was with his previous entry - this was just "Hurt" part 2. Then I'm so over "One", ever since the Lighthouse Family version plagued the radios and hearing it sung on every talent show. But, congrats Slovenia.

Also kinda bummed that 4 people didn't vote. Made this contest even more underwhelming. On the bright side, that kinda worked in my favor since I got bumped some 2 places.

But yeah, in the end I'm feeling like we can do better than this.

I'm actually not last. Like I know you are trying but maybe you could try for an intelligent insult.

but music is also really subjective and honestly, I wouldn't put it past people to vote/not vote their friends/people they like.

i hate everyone equally and have no friends so you can be certain my votes are based exclusively on music quality

but for serious, i've been participating in these contests for 6-7 years and have rarely got the impression anyone votes that way

Might as well be. Two of the people behind you didn't vote so you'd be 3rd to last, that's rear enough to me. Just cause you're not the caboose doesn't mean you're not in the back, y'know. Don't have to worry about that up here in the top 8. Weehaw.

I mean, if getting more points in a subjective contest gives you the self-esteem boost you need then more I'm glad.
