::rah has voted in both semis.

OMG, what a strong edition this is! I'm just speechless. o_O
For me it's on the same level with NSC 185, which was truly epic and full of masterpieces.

Ofc it's sad to lose so many nations... but on the other hand I have to admit, that such an amount of debutants/returnees made things really refreshing.

I'm amazed with the level. :)

And I really love the review concept of the show! xheart
