WOAH CONGRATS RAINY!

 

[RainyWoods]

Before I say anything else.. I'm turning down hosting. This belongs to our Anna. We've waited too long for another edition in Svealand and it needs to happen.

Big thank you post incoming! I'm with my family so give me a lil time. I want to be able to thank everyone. I'm overwhelmed.

 

[chontono]

Congrats to Rainy and USA, a really fantastic winner
Also, thanks a lot for 4 to Gabor and that excellent final 3rd-5th place in a tie
This is my fifth top 5 for Faroe in 15 editions, so super pleased by that

[Grinch]

Congrats Kai & Gongrats Anna & Bernadette on your medals

Thanks for 111 points for , so close to end up on the left side ah...

@hijirio @Sultana @NikolaiMoller As I said before, I love this hosting. Amazing job you guys!

 

[Leydan]

A real surprise winner I think, I wouldn't have penned this song to come through. Nevertheless, thrilled to see you take the win, Rainy with Anastacia. Huge Congrats!

Also, thank you Hiji, Niko & Sultana for hosting this edition, you've worked marvellously together and put on a great show for us from start to finish. The graphics, and way you've hosted the shows have been such good fun. Now enjoy a well earned rest.

Thank you for the 7th place! I read my entry SOO wrong clearly. I sent this expecting not to qualify, and then to end up with a top 10 with some surprise points is chefs kiss. Thank you very very much! Next edition we're going something very much different!

You've got that Turkish/Balkan support sis

 

[Marcos C]

Congratulations, and @RainyWoods, on your victory!

I thank the following for your fabulous hosting: @hijirio, @NikolaiMoller, and @Sultana.

 

[esc87fan]

Congrats Kai!

I'm looking forward to returning for an edition in Svealand - I believe it's the first hosting there since WV20

 

[NikolaiMoller]

Congrats @RainyWoods I'm so happy for you to win with the legend that is Anastacia the song hits you with nostalgia and emotion and I got winner vibes when it came on in the semi LL...

I would like to thank my dear Zadik Sisters @hijirio & @Sultana. Despite living in 3 different time zones we managed to make it work.

Thank you to all who voted for and thank you dear @Journalist for showing me this "old" hit from Selma

I will leave for a while, going to for a short stay and then back to my beloved Balkans again

See you all (hopefully) in my dear neighbouring country of next edition

 

[EurovisionSmile]

Looking forward to enjoying Anna's traditionally magical hosting in !

 

[Uto]

Feel like we deserve better than some commercial standard ass ballad winning, but yeah we've seen worse. Not many, but we've seen worse. Congrats Kai, you'll survive this shade from me no doubt, you'll be back to turning us into flowers at some point and you'll get to bask in the glory of more serious Uncle Uto congratulations then. It did not help seeing my 12, 10 and 8 all finish in the 2-4 spots and me being fine with basically anything else winning, it does make one a bit salty.

Guelders did a bit worse than I expected, I thought I would end up mid-table, but then the final did feature quite a lot of competition. Doesn't matter anyway, we got the Q in and this lovely rendition of the Kurdish national anthem did deserve an audience as it's a banger. Thanks to those who voted for it.

Also my thanks to the hosts. I mean I feel like I can't just say that because of the drama that happened, but let it be stressed that hosting is a lot of work that you guys put in for the love of the community and this should not be forgotten or go unmentioned. So yeah I mean it when I give my thanks for that.

 

[Stargazer]

Thank you Host Team for this edition. Huge congrats to ! Nice winning song.

But oh my gods, WOW thank you so much for this amazing 2nd place finish!











Regarding hosting, I'm still visiting my family for Christmas and New Years with no opportunity to churn out banners while I'm here, so unless we can have a 12 day long confirmation period I'm going to have to give up hosting, I'm afraid. Or if @RainyWoods and I team up and he does the semis while I do the grand final?

 

[Gabor77]

Congrats Rainy!

To be quite honest, this final was horrendous to me. I lost my Top 3 from the semis, and nothing striking came from Semi 1. I really didn't care about any entry (this hasn't had happened before lol). With that said the entry was the best to me from these songs presented in the final.

Given the end-of-year festivities and the fact that none of us are truly available for confirmation period, the Mod Team had decided to postpone the start of 195 to next week. Exact date to be communicated later after discussing it with the host.

Awesome!! I will gladly accept hosting then. I will arrive home on the 7th of January, and would naturally need a couple of days after that to do the semi banners.

damn I almost had hope there

/j Anna you'll do great!!

 

[BernadetteCydonia]

All jokes aside. Well that's a nice note to go out on in 2024. In a year generally full of ups and downs (starting it with one of my favourite artists NQing, with a win along the way, and finishing it with top 3) this is something I shouldn't be complaining about, hah! (Although, if Anna didn't stand in our way, we could've gotten the "iconic" RainySvai top 2 repeat from WV 132 ;-; but alas, wasn't meant to be)

Thanks to everyone who voted for "Black Nirvana":










How come I got this far without a single 12 tho? (Nelisa *hisssssss*)

Congratulations Rainy for yet another one of your wins, winning with Anastacia not once but twice must feel incredible for you. I kept repeating this over and over in the Discord server, but while listening to all semifinalists at once for WV 194, "Heavy on My Heart" played on my second attempted heartburn attack while in a Polish supermarket, that kind of went away because I calmed myself down enough and popped a heart pill earlier when attack nr. 1 hit me, but still, I can argue that all this shopping was... heavy on my heart
And hey we exchanged 1 points! That's too small but there's some mutuality! :3

Going into this edition I honest to God thought Paris was gonna be one of the victory contenders and that alone would motivate John to stay in Paris just for the hosting duties before claiming the entire region Paris is surrounded by. Idk about China though, seemed like a solid qualifier to me.
And congratulations to England for taking the Place of Real Winners - Wolf Alice kind of have better songs than that, when I once heard "Don't Delete the Kisses" I felt lovestruck by it but that was only when I was in the right mood for falling in love... with an X Factor contestant. Who later started dating a somewhat known actress, anyway. When that mood was gone, so was my immediate lovestuckness, but the thought was there.

For WV 195 this would've worked if Rainy didn't decline hosting because I'm finally gonna send That One Song I was putting off for two editions in a row, because I ran out of my Pot A/B fuel for now, sort of. But I'm confident enough Anna's gonna do a great job too.

Congratulations on your victory and thank you to all the hosts of this fantastic edition

I have recently become a mod for FSC so in order to focus on my duties for that contest, I am going to withdraw from WV following this edition. Thank you so much to all of the WV community for being so welcoming and supportive during my short time in the contest. I have really enjoyed participating in the contest, seeing the wonderful shows which are always superbly hosted and hearing the beautiful music you all share each edition from around the world. I was really happy to reach one final with so thank you to all who have supported and given points to my five entries. If time allows in the future I will seek a return to WorldVision, but in the meantime I wish you all the very best of luck in the contest and hope it continues to bring lots of fun and joy to you all! Thanks again everyone
