THE RESULTS

 

[DaFlo]

Congrats to the qualifiers

Thx for the nice show, and our host Gabe

 

[Zonne147]

Nice and expected results, the one I'm going to miss the most is Cyprus but I was ready for a NQ.

Thank you so much for the show and for all the hard work. To all who have organized this - you were amazing and everything was fantastic, very good choices for the opening act and interval acts too

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Thank you very much to all the team behind this, it was amazing! I think it's the closest thing we are getting to the actual show. The only thing I missed were the postcards... Why not get so postcards from past years? Just a suggestion...

I get that.

Obviously it would have been a lot of extra work to make postcards but I kinda missed those "oh the postcards are on let me go to the toilet real quick" moments that happen during actual Eurovision.

(and of course the postcards themselves are nice to watch)

 

[Mainshow]

The show was wonderful. Thank you for it. A lovely surprise to see our dashing Gabe at the end of it presenting the results

Slovenia though. How dare you all. Also sad for my other 10/10 song in this semi, Macedonia, and Belarus I would have liked to have seen advance even if it was a hopeless wish. The results were so predictable. Kind of hoped for at least one surprise. We literally got none.

If it had been up to me, I would have made Slovenia, North Macedonia and Belarus qualify instead of X, X and X as well but I guess, these results were more realistic, so I don't complain about it

 

[Petar]

Just a suggestion - let's go retro and make phone calls to give our points like in the 20th century. That would be so fun!

 

[AlekS]

Those familiar emotions, like on real Eurovision. What a great show Those technical difficulties, drama, the hackers... accidental porn from someone's webcam in the final?
Australia ended its qualification streak

 

[ArnIus]

We should definitely at least record an audio.

Yes! If you don't want to show your face/your identity then you can just record an audio like in the old days when the votes were revealed through telephone! (Although when I think about it makes me nervous )

 

[TimmyTAR]

Can't wait for someone to say, "I don't have it" during the voting results

 

[Ana Raquel]

Most of my top made it! congrats for taste

 

[Mrm]

----------------
@Petar @Uto I won't vote like that probably, but you are right

 

[Petar]

@Mrm I think you shouldn't publish your rankings publicly because you're in the jury.

 

[ArnIus]

Can't wait for someone to say, "I don't have it" during the voting results

Omg!!

 

[Trece]

Thank you for attending the live show. It was our first try to make live stream and YouTube blocks a bit spoiled the beginning, but then we moved to Twitch and after some settings were set up it worked perfectly (and thankfully didnt stop during results ahhah)
Thank you Mark @Marite for your help with Live streaming and that you didnt give up after all those troubles, If I was alone that would break me

Thank you Ashley @AshleyWright for counting all the hundreds votes together, that's a lot of work!

Thank you Gabe @Gabe for appearing as a host during results!

I was working over the show and especially results video (when we started contest, i didnt have a doubt I should make it like this to make it closer to real Eurovision with all the suspense atmpshpere) for days so all these flops in the starts made me super nervous Anyway, I am ready for SF2 in two days, videos will be in montage soon

And here are the results:

Can't wait for someone to say, "I don't have it" during the voting results

Thanks for exposing my plan in advance!

I'm pretty certain Slovenia would have taken a final spot at the real thing. It's something we'll never know of course but I honestly believe Voda would have been a dark horse (I felt it even before the well received revamp). It had all the markings of such an entry. It's meant to be performed live. As everyone's faves would have started crumbling during rehearsal week, Ana would have stepped up. It could have been a wow moment.

 

[Uto]

I rank in the final now:

...

Can't wait for the 2nd semi!

This pretty much warrants disqualification. I would advise you to delete this immediately.

 

[Rmetr0]

Thank you very much for the show!!! I liked especially how realistic and exciting the results announcement was.
I watched it with my mom, like all the previous Eurovisions, so it felt completely like real
Her favourites were: Azerbaijan, Lithuania, Romania, Norway, Cyprus just sayin' =D

 

[crashworld]

I was low-key expecting Sweden and Romania to NQ and have Belarus and another non-qualifier to go through. Sigh....
I lost Belarus in this semi-finals.

 

[Citelis]

LOL i completely forgot it!

 

[Zorjan]

... accidental porn from someone's webcam in the final?

My neighboor is German, so I guess that's why the porn during the interval act on my stream was that gross..?
