Re: FSC #65 - Results [today @ 19:00 CEST]

As I said a few weeks ago, I didn't believe that this song could win FSC, despite it being sung by ESC artists. Simply because it doesn't have the "FSC winning song" vibe written all over it. There were several other candidates that I believe had much higher chances and had that typical "FSC winner" energy. A notable example is
. I believed that Albania had great chances to win, because that's the type of song that has already won several editions this year (and in the past). The Dutch song doesn't have that vibe. I thought it would be too mellow, too subtle, not enough uplifting or pop. In general, country music doesn't very well in these contests. All in all, I'm quite surprised that it was able to win.
One thing that I'm sure of is that it will be the only winning song (maybe with a few other songs) for a long time that doesn't have any synthesizer/computer generated sounds, or autotune.
Thanks again to all who've appreciated this country tune and were willing to give it points.
Thank you very much Nejc for this exciting results show
Congratulations to
for an unexpectedly excellent result. For me it's really a shock
. Sorry that it lacked only a few points for victory
