Thank you so much for the points
Three 12s and two 10s! Means a lot
I was weirdly kind of nervous recording this and then sharing it here. For the past couple of years I haven't felt it in me to write or sing anything. My problem is my complete lack of confidence and singing in front of people. Pushing myself to do this again though was the right thing. To come 2nd behind only Anna is an amazing feeling. A big congratulations to her. Singing the most achingly beautiful Loreena Mckennitt song (Steph's iconic silver finish at the main contest, my 12 there as well
). Such a delicate, sincere and haunting voice you have. Tis an honour to finish behind you Anna.
It was hard choosing my 12 though as Calvin's was just as beautiful and even more wonderfully raw. Another really special song as well, one I wanted you to send to the main contest so bad! The fact you play piano as well so beautifully. Such a unique voice.
Carrie gave a surprisingly emotional performance, again really sincere and the tone of your voice is gorgeous. It was the perfect choice for your voice. I actually thought you might have had a shot at winning this.
Steph's was a great surprise. Loved the fact it was in Japanese and your timing was on point. I really enjoyed it and listening back to your other covers, you continue to improve so much. A fantabulous effort
Ringdalen, all I can say is GOAT POWER! What a delightful performance of your fave ESC song of 2016! A tonne of fun and exuding your usual charm and warmth as always.
Eulaliya, I think you gave probably the most enthusiastic performance of all, and it was a pleasure to listen to. You have a lovely voice, and it's going to keep on getting better and better. I really enjoyed it.
Dutchball you had the most creative performance. It was shocking in a good way I think. I wasn't expecting the vocoder style vocals but it made your performance different and quirky. For some reason in my head I was envisioning you performing this at some fabulous Eurovision National Final with backing dancers
A charming performance from Aigars. The song was beautiful and just like something you'd send to the main game.
Salmon with the cool, shockingly deep voice
I feel bad I only gave this a couple of points but it was difficult to rank the songs.
Fun performance from aja675 of the Kylie Minogue classic. One of the very few upbeat song selections here, as most of us strangely went for quite bleak or sad songs
Robert.... well what can I say, you are the king of hoovering. If this was Hoovervision then 12 no doubt for sure from me. Your video made me laugh, I loved it. It did bring a big smile to my face. You made things too easy for me though with handing out that dreaded 0 that we all had to choose. As much as I had fun with your video, I think it would have been a bit insulting if I gave your entry points over all the people who actually chose songs and braved singing them for us, especially as I already felt bad about having to give out the lower points. Even with a few seconds of super hot humming I just didn't have the heart to put someone who actually sung a song for us below your entry. 10/10 though for that humour. You are a comic genius my friend.

Thanks everyone again
Big thank you as well of course to our lovely, glamorous host Gabe
You had to put up with a lot of crazy stuff happening with the forum. Thanks for running this and seeing it through
I truly deserve last place because I didn't have the guts to actually sing as the rest of you did but I hope you enjoyed (despite the slurping) my little video if nowt else
