Really nice, congrats Hiji for your second victory. Albania was decent and quite creative, the Hiji ballad that finally won. I'm expecting a super hot Zadik hostink after all the iconic Zadiks in OM we have experienced so far.

You did a great job here Empo, so many hosting duties and still managed to make them great. You really need to rest after the ongoing OM hosting.
You deserve it.

Lolz, points from helping to get me into the final

 

[RainyWoods]

Congratulations Hiji on the epic Albanian win! This to me came as a surprise but a good one. Has such Fik bop energy to it so of course I'm here for it, and now we can get in the mood for Fikmas

And big congrats as well to Cesar for getting dear Peru a medal (you were just outside my top 10 on this occasion)!


2nd - 147 Points











Thanks for that all! Amazing result. I almost didn't take part this edition as real life stuff isn't good currently, but I'll use this as a little pick me up. I'm glad so many different players enjoyed the song. Some nice surprises there. The songs from that Americana NF I held a couple of years back have given me two silvers now... oh and it just hit me, Margo Price from that same NF lost to a Hiji entry as well. History repeating Slay me Hiji!



Lastly and most importantly.. thank you for everything Empo Smooth as butter hosting and lovely shows. If this is indeed to be your last edition with us, I hope it's not permanent and you come back again once the spark returns.

 

[Looren]

Congrats Albania

Thanks Empo for hosting

 

[Leydan]

omg! My 12 winning. Congrats Hiji on your 2nd victory! Serving us hot bops. What a great winner!!!

 

[Leydan]

Congrats once again Hiji on your stunning victory. We love to see it. Also to Rainy on his super hot 2nd place, your song had winnerish vibes so i'm not surprised you've done so well. Also to the land of Wendy Sulca and the pot lady, congrats on your 3rd. South America coming thru x

Empo your hosting has been brilliant, the theme, graphics and excitement around it. You certainly made an intriguing and exciting running order for tonights show. It's a shame I wasn't here for it all live. Thank you for hosting.

the red and yellow theme.












thank you for the points and love to my entry. I didn't even know it has been in OM, let alone won it, so I had no idea what to expect. Thank you for all of the points. Especially them elite 4 12s.

 

[dogmeat]

How the fuck did I get more points from pot B than pot F???

 

[cegs5]

Congratulations Hiji on your winning!!!! Hot pop is slaying in WV! aldo big congrats to Kai on your second place! I did enjoy both songs, but as I said earlier after submitting my votes, it was such a good edition for my taste, hard to pick only ten.

As for taking a bronze medal out of nowhere... THANK YOU all for your votes
I'm pleased that the power of flutes and Alborada did it again! Thanks for my first bronze ever, this complete a podium in which Alborada owns silver and bronze! I hold it back for a while before sending panflutes again as I wanted to show other music genres in Peru as well, but what the heck, we don't get many Andean flutes in every edition, so expect more flute realness in the future.

Thank you empo for a fantastic show! Really loved the design of your banners!

 

[hijirio]

Wait wait

I think I won????

 

[Amir]

Woah congrats Hiji
Didn’t enjoy this song as much as your others but I can’t wait for your filthy hosting

Thanks to our wonderful host und also thank you everyone who voted for

 

[Gera11]

OMG that top 3, we love to see it!!!! Congrats Hiji for your victory, a patriotic Albanian hit winning in Serbia is such a Balkan mood, I can't. Sadly I will miss your hosting ;_____;. Congrats to Rainy for 2nd place (GIRL I TOLD U THIS SONG WOULD SLAY IT FINALLY DIDDDDD; bless Alela) and to Cesar as well (it barely missed my top 10 it was such a tough decision).

Thank you so much for the SF votes:








and the REJU voters





Loved this edition - from the traditional Balkan knitting pattern aesthetics to the super slick scoreboards - you did such a great job Empo and it's really bittersweet that this is (might be?) your last edition with us. Hope you will come back!
