Thank you all again for your kind comments about this hosting. It's been an absolute blast. Special thanks to
@Ana Raquel for meeting me live at the beginning and helping me make the draw,
@Fearnavigatr for tons of moral support, and especially
@berlyda , who was working just as hard with me at certain points to make the recaps and other videos used this edition!
I'm delighted with
Tcher-Racoi's victory, both as my 10-pointer but also as a sign of NSC's ability to find quality winners from all genres. Yes, even a singing cat can win NSC, and people from all across the spectrum voted for it! Thank you also for all votes for
Japonesia. 13th place as a PQ is a huge success.
This edition was all about "just missing out", so it would be amiss to not mention those other songs. In particular
, iconically securing their record 8th silver medal in edition 222.
with Käärijä, our other 2nd placer icon from earlier this year. Maybe
is also foreshadowing Belgium's chances this year (while avenging Mustii's miss-out from last NSC)?
also avenged eden xo's earlier JMO, and finally
, the oldest just-missed-out nation yet to win (like Yaponesia
). All of you had real reasons to be in the running for that 222 championship, a poetic top6 indeed!
(kudos to
too, carrying forth the 7th placer JMO torch)
Speaking of JMOs, here are the three playlists of all the JMO songs we used as "postcards" this edition. Entries that "just missed out" all throughout NSC's history. Feel free to tune into them sometime:

See you in Tcher-Racoi next edition!
