Live NSC 23(0) in Illumia / #sign / RESULTS / 2/8/24 20:00 CEST

[Milos-BC]

Congratulations on the victory, Orangulia, you deserved it

Regarding my own result, I can say I am completely shocked and I didn't expect anything even remotely close to this. I am still in complete disbelief I barely even found a song to participate, as funny as it sounds..........it is really hard when obligations strike and there is nothing in the backlog....this song sounded interesting to me on the first listening and I wanted to give it a try and see how it does because there was nothing to lose and there was no real alternative........but later I thought it wouldn't get higher than some 26th place. So this outcome truly shocked me. There were several other things that played out differently than what I projected in my head, but this definitely was a huge surprise. Thank you everyone who voted and supported this song.

Thank you Luki for hosting such an amazing show As we would say in our language - razvalio si!

And last (but certainly not least) - @Veronika You are the only one who always believed and always believes in me....even when I, myself, have no faith whatsoever I couldn't be happier knowing that I have someone like you by my side Despite this result and everything......it isn't the same as last time (and that is an understatement), so for that reason, nothing will be celebrated. I will celebrate when we are next to each other here on the scoreboard........like we were on the last edition And I am sure, sooner or later, such a momentum will happen again

See you on the next edition

Absolutely over the moon with this finish; our highest score yet is more than I could have hoped for, and I truly always love seeing my entries resonate with even one person. Like I said in my thread, I basically discovered Mirage on a whim, and I'm happy I got to share it with everyone.

As for the results, pretty good top 10 overall, congrats to Marcobia and MatiMati (love the exchanged 12s) on personal bests, as well as the other PQs (Belvist & Balearica Island just narrowly missed out on points from us). Massive thanks to

as well as those who voted us through the semi! Thanks Luki for the immaculate hosting, you totally delivered even through the forum's difficulties and also, thanks to @Ekholmia for the amazing discovery, I never got around to hearing the newest IDLES album so might not have heard A Gospel otherwise, and it'll be a mainstay in my library now

I had to pass up hosting the last time I had the opportunity, but this time I look forward to welcoming everyone to I hope to post a thread sometime tomorrow, but you're still free to confirm entries (via forum, Skype, Discord, etc) before then.

Félicitations Orangualia!

Wonderful winner, continuing this streak of high quality NSC winners too. Of course, my 12 was the 2nd placer , but that fantastic result is also perfectly worthy. In fact, I’m pleased I had a rare successful pregomesh, especially concerning the top 2 (although I got totally wrong huge congrats to you too! Should’ve swapped them with )

Happy with the result; thank you for the qualification and to those who gave high points! Very much appreciated. See you next edition

 

[doctormalisimo]

Oh wow, 6th place. Definitely didnt expect that. Did better than the entry I tried to confirmed but was beaten to; but still, a great result for - one of my favourite songs of the last few months, no regrets though with how things panned out

Shoutout as well to , a very strong 10 for me. Not sure if you've looked up the meaning of the song, but it's a call to young Scottish people to keep their language and culture alive. It's the final ever song by Niteworks so glad they got the recognition they deserve in NSC at last.

Congrats , great entry, delighted it won

Thank you for the #sign hosting Luki, especially with all the forum issues. It was a great edition.

Wow!

First of all, congrats on the win. Voted for 4 of the PQs, great to see one of them win. And it's also awesome to be part of the PQs as well, I did not expect this. I know my entry is really all over the place at the moment, but I didn't think that would be a recipe for success in NSC (figured people were probably fed up by it by now), and I was genuinely happy to just have qualified to the final. Seeing the full results tho, the semi score is pretty amazing, 2nd in the regular vote and reju winner. So a big thank you to everyone who voted for it in the semis, and of course every single point in the final:

Some voting stats: Congrats to on becoming the 41st nation to reach 100 points - and on becoming the 9th to reach 200 points from ! Quality! And also on becoming the 19th nation to GIVE 100 points, and on becoming the FIRST nation to give 200 points! And this result also means that has now reached 6000 points received in finals. (I've given more than 10000 tho, so you got some catching up to do)

Also, as I was updating my Douze Points playlist on YouTube, I realized that has gotten 4 of my last 6 . That is pretty wild. I've looked into it, I've given both and 3 of 7 before, which is also very good, but 4 of 6 is a different level.

Thanks to @Luki for a great hosting, even if the forum didn't make it any easier for you.

Commenting as I watch the results since the beginning:

28th – 21st

– my and points respectively, sadly very expected, even tho I thought maybe would be a little higher... at least, that would be deserved
– okay, that's much lower, than I hoped for and expected, was my , thank you for bringing this Armenian retro-piece
– expected sadly, I liked the energy and "explosivity" of that entry together with the colorful music video, and even tho it didn't receive anything from me, it was my 13th and one of the stronger contenders for my points
– okay, those are much lower than I expected, but I also kinda could see this happening...
– k, thanks... that's lower than I expected after all the predictions and comments, but hey... thank you anyway for the final and for a bunch of high points from nations I don't usually receive such high points from I also kinda didn't want PQ now because of the entry I'm going to send next edition, so... we can say that my wish has come true
– well, that's expected. but thank you so much for such an amazing instrumental entry, was a big pleasure to give it in the final

 

[Rmetr0]

20th – 11th

– oh, another epic instrumental, I hoped for much higher... apparentely, i gave a little more preference to the entries i didn't hear before, but i was glad i had some space to proudly give it in the final
– see
– well... i knew it would be sadly a little lower than some predicted, but... it was an amazing entry, i loved the melody, the powerful instrumental and the music video was eye-pleasing with the handsome singer like i said before, i lost three another great entries in semis i hoped to give in final to, but... it was a pleasure to give to this in the end
– yeah, kinda felt that this one would be not as high as it might have seemed, but i liked the epicness, it won the battle for my point
– well, a little lower than i thought, and it was pretty close to my points, ended up 12th, and i'm a little sad that i didn't find enough space to give it something...
– I never expected this one to qualify, but i expected pretty much this result for it in the final
– and this one's higher than I thought, didn't expect it to qualify either, it was just okay to me...
– I thought it would be closer to PQ, was an interesting entry, but i'm not a big fan of Aurora if i'm completely honest
– oh, okay... i didn't resonate that much and saw this lower, but i can see why it ended up here
– well yeah, those who play for longer, say that it's a "nice throwback" and i smh can agree with that kinda expected position too

 

[Rmetr0]

10th – 1st

– I TOLD YOU THIS ONE WOULD BE HIGHER THAN EVERYONE EXPECTS, even tho I expected even higher, but okay... i gotta be honest, i didn't resonate with this one at all in the semi and put it last, but in the final i suddenly connected with it and it ended up... 11th!! hoped to give something, but... yeah, not enough space, as always
– oh, wow!! it appears, that we "overrated" this one in prego okay, but i honestly didn't see this one lower than PQ, so it's really surprising that it ends up here...
– and we underrated this one in prego what can i say, grats on the great result as for a PQ entry
– oh... i put it 2nd in my final prediction in contrast with 12th in semi prediction, i think it was based on some comments, and... look at that amount of high points
– oh yeah, almost exactly the result i was expecting for this one!
– well... gotta be honest, i underestimated this one
– woohoooo let's go! even tho it was just my in the final, this one kept being stuck in my head for the last few days and the fact about Artemas's dob still fascinates me


– sheeeeesh (in a good way), all those s that's what i love those contests for – for such big surprises you (me) never expect!! grats, grats, grats on such an amazing result, !! was a pleasure to give to such ear- and eye-pleasing entry!!
– big grats on such an amazing result!! that was an epic entry and I was glad to give it my


– well, Orian did not believe in this one, but among the rest of us, pregomeshers, this one was 1st (on avg), so we kinda predicted this congrats, ! i gotta be honest, it wasn't really my kind of entry, but i tend to like your other entries, so for me personally you already won a lot of times before (in last edition's final at least ), and now you did that among all (majority) the rest and you totally deserved that!!

 

[Rmetr0]

And let's see who gifted those 88 points





(WL: Rombandrums)





Thank you all so much, that's why I like trying different genres and styles

And also big thanks to + for giving some points in semi which made our participation in final possible

And thank you so much @Luki for hosting in such circumstances, and it was a pleasure to help you with Pregomess too!

 

[HayashiM]

Thanks a lot for the qualification and the 14th place, it's been 's first Q in 10 editions so that was rather nice

 

[berlyda]

Did better than the entry I tried to confirmed but was beaten to; but still, a great result for - one of my favourite songs of the last few months, no regrets though with how things panned out

Thanks for the 12! I had no idea you had tried to confirm it too

 

[Mattan]

That would be MatiMati's first top three result, coming off an eight-edition NQ streak at that; thanks to everyone who voted for the Kiwi brigade! As it happens, our 12 won the entire shebang, making the results exceptionally pleasant overall.
