Sorry once again - life has been very hectic at the moment but here we are. I rated each song out of 10 for the song itself and the live performance to give an overall score of 20 points. I will announce the results in the Eurovision way - by going 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 point. One of you will have received the dreaded nil points (0) and will be eliminated. Let's begin
RESULTS!
We start with our 12 points act, it goes to....

Blind Channel "Dark Side" (reallyreally) - 19/20
%3D
Song - 9/10
Performance - 10/10
Total - 19/20
Comment - I love this entry. From the second it was announced to be competing at UMK I absolutely fell in love with it. I think it's such an awesome song and performance, and I was so worried people would be turned off by them - so when they came 6th overall I was over the moon. The performance here is just spectactular and helped get rock in Eurovision back on track - we now get rock every year and it makes me really happy!
Congratulations reallyreally, you have won this week's round!

Loreen "Euphoria" (Tommy123) - 18/20
Song - 8/10
Performance - 10/10
Total - 18/20
Comment - As much as I hate to do it, I am gonna have to dock a few points off for sending quite literally the most famous Eurovision song of all time, but it's hardly regarded by the eurovision fandom for a reason. This is quite easily the best eurovision performance of all time. The way she performs is just incredible and the fact she won a week ago after 11 years makes me so happy. She has reached legendary status and she deserves it for how humble she is.

Eleni Foureira "Fuego" (rory17) - 18/20
Song - 8/10
Performance - 10/10
Total - 18/20
Comment - We have 2 Cypriot ladies! Despite the song not being the strongest things ever. OH MY FUCKING GOD THE PERFORMANCE! This easily goes down as the best performance of 2018 and one of the best performances ever at Eurovision! Cyprus wanted their win that year and came very close. Every was perfect from the singing - to the dancing - to even the hairography. Perfect Eurovision song for that exact reason!

Nina Sublatti "Warrior" (Kindred7) - 18/20
Song - 9/10
Performance - 9/10
Total - 18/20
Comment - I love this pick as I did not expect this to be sent at all. She is absolutely phenomenal but it's such a shame that she was covered with smoke so you couldn't see her. This is really strong though. One of Georgia's best performances and songs that they've sent. This was thoroughly enjoyable Kindred and probably your best entry as of yet!

Anja Nissen "Where I Am" (oswordo3) - 17/20
Song - 8/10
Performance - 9/10
Total - 17/20
Comment - Yes oswordo this is one of my favourites from 2017. Her vocal ability is so good like whenever I sing this song I always end up straining my voice. She's so gorgeous aswell - I think this deserved better than 20th! Absolute robbery! Love listening to this whenever it comes on Spotify! Amazing send.

Ruslana "Wild Dances" (NewNightmare7) - 17/20
Song - 8/10
Performance - 9/10
Total - 17/20
Comment - This was the winner of Eurovision 2004 - nearly 20 years ago that is insane! Ruslana is an amazing Ukrainian peformer and it is shown so well here. She absolutely gives it all and I am just mesmerised. The first time Ukraine won the contest and I can clearly see why. This shows off Ukrainian culture so well and her vocals are really good for literally throwing herself across the stage. Love a bit of Ukrainian aswell. This is a really good submission.

Verka Seduchka "Dancing Lasha Tumbai (Thnksfrthmmrs) - 16/20
Song - 8/10
Performance - 8/10
Total - 16/20
Comment - Easily the most memorable Eurovision performance of all time. The whole fandom can recite this performance from beginning to end. I do believe though that makes it a bit obvious - so expect a few marks to be dropped. I do love this though. This is doing a wacky entry at it's very best. Having loads of fun and putting on a good show - couldn't ask for anything better. Good job this week.

Ivi Adamou - "La La Love" (princesspretty) - 15/20
Song - 7/10
Performance - 8/10
Total - 15/20
Comment - This proper gets you in the summer mood! The performance does fit the song and I do love a summer pop song with some Cypriot sounds and elements. I didn't think I liked it this much but it's an amazing vibe and such an earworm. Great way to get the Eurovision Round started! She started the dance break tradition aswell - though probably the worst of them, Chanel has my heart. I do have to drop some marks for the fact the song is a tad generic - but the performance makes up for it and I think this is 2012 at its finest!

Ani Lorak "Shady Lady" (coolkat) - 15/20
Song - 6/10
Performance - 9/10
Total - 15/20
Comment - This isn't a popular tik tok song - but in fact the runner up of Eurovision 2008! I've never really listened to much of 2008's entries and I don't think I've actually watched the peformance. For 2008 where most of the time it's just the singer on stage with a microphone - this is a very cool and awesome performance. She has such amazing stage prescence. The song is what let's it down for me - not my favourite this and I wouldn't listen to this on Spotify. I love this performance though! Incredible!

Alexander Rybak "Fairytale" (mrkkkyle) - 13/20
Song - 6/10
Performance - 7/10
Total - 13/20
Comment - So I will dock you a few points due to this going viral on TikTok a few years ago - but I can definitely see why it did. The winner of 2009, this performance is absolutely insane! As a violinist - seeing a violin being used in an Eurovision performance absolutely does it for me. The song is really strong aswell - like his singing could have been better but I don't hate it. I think he deserved to win. I think out of all the Eurovision songs - you could have chosen something a bit less obvious. For example - the second place that year "Is It True" by Yohanna would have gotten you a very high score.
Congratulations mrkkkyle, you have survived the bottom 2.

Song - 3/10
Performance - 7/10
Total - 10/20
Comment - Now this is often considered one of the best Eurovision winners of all time - I can see why it is a very strong performance and their costumes is absolutely incredible. However, I can't lie I hate the song. It's probably one of my least favourite winners for that exact reason - whether thats controversial or not I don't care. I would never listen to this again - but the performance saves this a bit.
Thank you for competing Tester it was lovely having you compete.
To the rest of you, round 6 coming up later today <3.
