[MiraShadowMan]

[theditz83]

Quick thanks for the supporters this edition (again, nice to see some nations that don't always show up in our voting history )




Joseyeon

Bagrovor

 

[Leydan]

Thank you to everyone who voted for Solentoya! Super pleased with my result and all the points I've got - especially some from countries who don't usually vote for me.

Thank you Sean for your super elite hosting. it's easily been one of my favourite editions to date.

 

[Veronika]

Okay...
Firstly, congratulations Serenes! The winning song is really nice.

Secondly, I'm absolutely shocked about my result. I never expected coming 2nd or anything close to that. Wow, I absolutely have zero words. And at the same time I'm feeling soo happy, because "Bėk!" by Lemon Joy has been one of my favorite and most played songs for ages. xD I actually began considering it as a possible NSC entry long time ago, but found a suitable MV just before this edition started.

Thanks everyone for voting and making this amazing result happen!

Tcher-Racoi
::hyp
Banan

Öösingimäed
Rehi Kaita

Halleloo

Effiland, Utopolis

And last but not least...
Big respect to @Sean for hosting this high-quality and very special edition. It will always live in our hearts and will be remembered.

 

[esc87fan]

Wow, looks like I had 2 possible ways into the final upon seeing the results! Beat Aimulli by 1 voter for 10th in regular, and if that didn't work I would have been the REJU qualifier by virtue of placing 3rd on that side

 

[Alevender]

Congrats and Julio Samoylova!

It is also very nice seeing in second place! Both songs in top 2 are great (my 6 and 7 respectively).
Thanks to everyone who voted for and gifted us another REJU qualification
And thanks to Sean for your hard work, it really paid off, your graphics were fantastic.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Congrats to Serenes, great song!

Also congrats to Arirang (my 12) for getting a PQ slot!

 

[Karhu]

Thank you all so much for voting for "Ani Kuni" and and helping us achieve our 2nd NSC victory I tried my best to follow the show but was also in the middle of other things all day, so I could only maintain a cursory inspection of the results until now. I actually opened the winning scoreboard moments after losing terribly to my brother in a game of tennis

I have to say this more than makes up for it, though!

Thanks again to all of these nations for your support:

Ic-Sa-Calli, Riya-Sampetrina, Tuzi, Yaponesia (Öösingimäed)
Begonia, Biflovatia (Reym-L-Dneurb)
Arirang, Calypso, Oussou Empire, Tír an Abhainn, Ugaly
Aimūlli (Mormadorei, Slagensala)
Balearica Island, Kimmystan, Tybalteva, Uferbruht
Cydoni-Gibberia, Gvozdmost, MatiMati (Dalisska, New Acadia)
Blackmere, Cherniya, Fervorosia, Lacrea, Luzinia, Waiting List
Kordavian Islands, Moisantia, Perryfornia, Redwood Republic
Adamsburg, Noizeland (Tcher-Racoi)
Doire, Kamandé, Pyreica (Rehi Kaita)

I normally tend to be incredibly indecisive about my entries for NSC, often leaving it to the last minute and second-guessing myself millions of times, but "Ani Kuni" was really love-at-first-listen for me, to the point where I sent it even before the reservations thread was open I'm very happy to see that it went over so well here! Especially happy to see the names of quite a few countries that don't usually vote for Serenes up there

I've yet to hear a Polo & Pan song I didn't adore, including their two previous NSC attempts which represented and helped kickstart my love affair with this group. I do try to avoid sending repeat artists whenever possible - to my knowledge (which certainly may not be accurate) this is just the 2nd time has been represented by an artist that previously represented another country (Emika being the other case) - but I really couldn't help myself with this song. Polo & Pan are unquestionably a act first and foremost and I hope their motherland is proud of them

@Sean, well done on an amazing job of hosting this edition! I wish I could have been more involved in it, particularly Natia Club which was a wonderful idea (unfortunately coinciding with work hours for me on almost every occasion #USAproblems), but anyway... the love and care you put into this edition shone through every step of the way and I especially loved reading the blurbs in the semi results show about each individual country, it was so incredibly well written and thoughtful Thank you so much for all your hard work!

On the subject of hosting... after our first attempt at hosting which may be described in the gentlest way possible as unsuccessful, the people of Serenes are motivated, excited, and determined to make up for it and put on a great spectacle for all of Natia (most importantly, we're also much less busy than last time ) - thus, welcome back to Serenes for NSC 195! I'll brainstorm a theme tonight, but my inbox is clear and ready to receive your entry if you have one ready to go!

 

[Yoni]

Congratulations Serenes!

Yapo was ROBBED, thank you Sean for this wonderful hosting which could only be described as an era of its own.

 

[apasionata]

Many congratulations Julio and !!!!!! I'm so happy to see my 12-pointer winning after fairly long time and even more happy I've discovered a new earworm bop !!

10th place in Semi matching 10th place in the Grand Final is the reason why I keep falling in love with NSC all over and over again. You can go from an underdog to a star (and vice-versa as we've seen heaps of times xD). So happy and content with my result (which I somewhat predicted, gotta flex ) !!

Sorry if my entry's music video was too straight-baiting at times, but Julia is simply stanningly gorgeous hehe ❣

10th/28 :: 138pts.

Thank you Sean for excellent hosting !! I appreciate your effort in scoreboards (especially nation-personalized backgrounds) tremendously ! And I definitely agree with Julio - the blurbs from Semi Final Results Show were one of biggest NSC highlights e v e r. Hat off to that amount of dedication !!!!

See y'all next edition when Tuzi celebrates its 100th entry anniversary !

 

[berlyda]

Congrats Julio, and thanks Sean for a very fun and memorable hosting!

Also, thank you to Renzo, Orian, Julio, and Sean for the three 12s and a 10, that's pretty amazing for a non-qualifying entry and I'm very happy you enjoyed it so much!

See you next edition in Serenes!

 

[Deleted member 5361]

Congrats to Serenes, and thank you for this unforgettable hosting @Cydu TV!

To finally qualify with a picvid was our main goal, so we are extremely satisfied with our 7th place, as well as the points we have received - especially from the WL! Thank you all!

See you in Serenes!

 

[theCONWEL]

Thanks for all the votes for ! Kinda hoped to be a bit higher up before the results but seeing now that I squeaked through by REJU, 100 points is great

Congratulations to and thanks to for a brilliant edition

 

[doctormalisimo]

Omaga what a result

Since there's a Simpson's meme for everything, i'll just summarise my feelings in a picture:

But seriously, this extends Doire's record qualification streak to 11 but I promise to come last in the final next edition, dont worry

Congrats on a serendipitous win

And thank you to our hosts for a very reminiscing edition. The Natiaclub idea was fantastic and it was just a shame it co-incided with a busy period in my life or else I would have been there every night

 

[Sean]

Okay, so first of all congratulations Serenes, it was a fantastic song and a deserving NSC winner and I can't wait to see what your hosting brings next edition!

Thank you to everyone who supported Spiritbox, it was a radical choice for Cygo but a song I have been totally enamoured with recently and was always going to be my next entry, hosting or no hosting. After 20 voters in the final I was actually winning and beginning to think about the impossible But then the rest of the points dried up But 20th and 112 points is by far and away my best result as a host so thank you

Finally, thank you so very much for all of your lovely words and comments about this hosting, both in private and on the forum. It was a half-baked plan I had in case I somehow won and then Carson Coma did the unthinkable, so I had to do a lot of hard yards this edition to get everything ready in time. I'm thrilled that a lot of you seemed to enjoy it!

It's been so long since I was even given the opportunity to host so I wanted to put a lot of love and respect of the contest's rich history into this hosting, as I think it can sometimes be forgotten how historic and diverse our beloved NSC has been over the years and a lot of newer nations perhaps are not as aware of some hidden gems from the past. Thank you to everyone who reminisced with us this edition! It's been hard, but an absolute joy to host this wonderful little game one more time

See you in !

Congrats and thank you for 12th place and 132 points!

Congratulations for a well-deserved victory, and of course to for an amazing hosting, not least because of the semi results. Honourable mention to the amazing managing a PQ as well.

115 just so happens to be our sixth-highest score, and what a way it arrived in; thanks to everyone who voted for the not-quite-winnin' house!

I hope your opinion won't change if one day send Mexicali, as we should have done this edition if you hadn't confirmed asap (and if I didn't wait till the last 48 hours lol)
Obviously, congrats , it wasn't my favorite from them, hence I only gave it 1, but in this strong edition I'm still glad I managed to put it in my top 10.

The robbery though

Thank you @Sean for this great, great hosting !

And ofc, thanks the legends who supported Pyreica in the semi (and another )
