[Maki]

Congratulations, @saviodxl!

Interestingly, it was between Benjamin and Anet for my final point so while it wouldn't have changed the winner, at least it made Anet get a medal.
Speaking of medals, I finally got the silver one in this contest! Only gold left...

12 points - Joanna Wang - 愛人 (日文版)
~ Absolutely gorgeous. The way this sounds like it could've been released in any decade from 60s onwards. Beautiful and memorable melodies, the melancholy feel, the unique whispery quality to the vocals and whimsical instrumental - I feel extremely baited by this one. Definitely the best song in this round (yes, including my own entry).

10 points - Sofi Tukker - Jacaré
~ I've heard this one prior to this round opening and was hooked upon it right away. Such a catchy and fun banger. My fave Sofi Tukker song.

8 points - Monique Smit - Wild
~ I love these random schlager bops we get. The chorus here sounds so familiar here.

7 points - Key - Killer
~ Was already familiar with this one. An excellently produced and competitive tune. Could Key be winning another contest?

6 points - Cleo - Safari
~ This one sounds inspired by 80s kitschy radio pop songs in terms of melody. The chorus slaps in particular slaps.

5 points - EDGÄR - Réveille-moi
~ Known this one already, obviously a standout with that unique production. Please give a listen to this great album!

4 points - ATARASHII GAKKO! – OTONABLUE
~ Yay, it's those awkward quirky girls! A really fun and insanely charming entry (also reminds me of my supposed troll entry for PJ00s+ d)

3 points - Sasha Lopez & Ester Peony - Tatoué
~ Ester is one of the most robbed Eurovision participants and I'm surprised to see she does music in French too. A moody bop.

2 points - Alessandra Amoroso - Notti Blu
~ This is a catchy well-crafted tune. I can see this one winning but also think the vocals could be divisive.

1 point - Anet Vaikmaa - Viimane tants
~ A really sweet song with a lovely chorus.


Honourable mentions:

Benjamin - Hoida mut
~ Just missed out on that final point. I was flipping between this one and Anet a lot, but then recalled this has male vocals. Jokes aside, it's a great bop but his previous entry was stronger.

Klara & Jag - BAS, RÖK & DÅRAR
~ Was in contention to appear in my top 10 but the only part I really like is that chorus.

Giallo - кристалл
~ Really pretty but ends up being a bit on the forgettable side.

MIN - Cà Phê
~ Very cute! I love how the music video reflects the lyrics.

Yoana - Nyamat Lyubov
~ A typical type of pop song I expect in these contests, I sure like it.

Alina Pash - Тіні Забутих Предків
~ Really nice soundscape here.

Brutalismus 3000 - Je N'existe Pas
~ Intense and abrasive but it works.

As the host, I can only say: well, I tried, sorry for the mess! Be sure to double check your ballots with the results, in case the leaderboard needs more corrections ddd

I'm glad I haven't flopped as hard as I expected & I'm super grateful to @imaduck, @Tiger Suit, @A&E, @Isobel, @If You Go and @TéléDex!

Congratulations @saviodxl! Pretty much as soon as I heard Hoida mut, I knew it would win but it was still a gripping finale to watch unfold from the spreadsheet. Oof, my Finnish bops are back to the backburner, I might steal somebody else's song then! Looking forward to the July round, but most importantly, I'm so happy this one is over!
