A late reaction to get this thread back on track, but first...
SEMI 1
Honestly a mess I think I lost a large portion of my top 5 - definitely think Portugal, Belgium, Estonia and Montenegro deserved to qualify over some of these qualifiers. On the other hand very pleasantly surprised Switzerland made it I love my Olympic queen. <3
SEMI 2
Definitely a massive split here between the great qualifiers and the bad ones, but mostly okay I think? Would've loved to see Latvia, Ireland and Austria(!) in the final, and Denmark, Slovenia, Bulgaria and Lithuania were pretty nice too.
A few days ago, we could find out who were the 10 qualified countries from each semifinal and like every edition we experienced happiness, disappointments, anger, robbed entries and surprises. Once we already have the 26 finalists which will compete to reach the final prize, we can start with the voting process. Starting from now, all the participating countries, including the non-qualifiers, must vote to choose the winner of this 40th edition held in 馃嚞馃嚪 Thessaloniki.
Since today, Thursday 8 April and until next Thursday 15 April 2021 all the countries have to vote for the winner, giving 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 point to the songs you like the most. The live show with the results will take place some days after the deadline, the day and hour will be revealed coming soon.
You should send your votes to me 袗lexito. If any of you can not vote on time for any reason, you should notify me as soos as possible to get some jurors as back-up votes. If any of you don't vote on time without giving any reason you will lose your country.
You can also post your thoughts about the possible winners or countries who can finish top10 or bottom, or anything about the betting odds. Please don't forget to send the pictures of your SPOKESPERSONS and cities.
Votes from NON-PARTICIPANTS are also welcome by private message and will be counted as part of ROTW (Rest of the World).
Finally, 46 countries out of 46, there's no country left to vote. (100% completed).
Live show results date: Saturday 24 April 2021.
The live show date will be approximated because there are some participants who need to send their spokesperson and city pictures and the sooner they send them, the sooner I will finish the video with the results.
Countries that need to send their spokespersons/city pictures yet:
馃嚘馃嚬 Austria - DallasAndrew
馃嚪馃嚧 Romania - Yogscastbigbrother21
The 3/4 countries with least votes from each semifinal will go through the pre-semifinal round next edition. This will depend on how many countries will participate next edition. That's not definitive and there will be another countries availaible so some new draws will be held.
Ah thank you so much to everyone who voted for Spain to win :) I honestly never thought I would be able to win ESCT since you all always send fantastic songs and make the competition so hard!! Big congratulations to all songs this edition as I really loved a lot of the songs, and shout out to North Macedonia, who I had fun going back and forth with at the top of the results, especially since Za Nas is also a fantastic song!! Thank you again for all the votes and support, it means a lot :)
