So SO happy for Sissal!
And wow, what a glow-up for the Laura's performance!
Lastly, Parg came out of left field for me, and I rather liked it.
I don't understand the appeal of Katarsis' performance, but I accept that it's there. I know quite a few people who are ride-or-die for them, so good on them.
It felt like Australia's stage was a bit empty. It was the blender and changing costumes.
Love the song. LOVE the music video. That performance didn't do much for me, sadly.
I've not liked Parg's song or performance ... until now. Something about it just clicked last night. I didn't vote for it, but I ... I liked it.
At one point Microsoft had mentioned deprecating Notepad. I guess they decided to save it when they realized they had another vehicle for their Gen * A * I slop.
Everywhere except where it belongs, up their a**.
Croatia was just squeaking in at #10 for me. Belgium and Cyprus were 5 and 6, but as I said I wasn't so heartbroken over them. I had my all my emotional eggs in Albania and Iceland's baskets. (I had little doubt that Sweden and Poland were gonna make it.)
My proper list at the closing of the voting was -
I got 7/10 - I had Belgium, Cyprus and Croatia in, but instead we got Portugal, San Marino and Estonia. I suppose Estonia was expected. And as for Belgium, although I ranked them 5th in my semi-final performances, I wasn't as heart-broken as many were that Red Sebastian's performance didn't qualify. I think I was over the moon that Albania and Iceland made it.
Let this be a lesson to Denmark and others for Thursday - just because you're near the bottom of the table in the odds to qualify doesn't mean you don't have a chance!
Someone confused MAU (Monthly Average Users) with Mau (the Egyptian Mau cat). :)

I don't have that variable set on my environment, but perhaps it's due to my running PCSX2 as an AppImage?
It costs a bit to vote from any country, and the Rest of World is pegged at 0.99 Euros per vote.
