4th - Dolcenera - Ora O Mai Piu (Le Cose Cambiano) - 9pts (GreekFan)
OMG! Thanks so much. I believe this should have won if Non Cadiamo Mai wasn't entered previously.
I'm currently bored in a long tour bus in Australia now. So, this one made me happy.
Yeah Terry, hope you have an awesome time in your vacation as well.
So many jackeliminations ;o at least he won Hungary, which was the right winner. Thanks for the votes for Sylwia and Nicoleta *insert heart eyes smiley*

Just noticed Poland, that takes some quite bad luck.
I am honoured to have sent the top 2 songs in that list, avb I have advanced so far from being your 3rd fav!
To commemorate the end of another year of our lives, I am going to rank the 2016 countries of DSFE once more! Did you know 802 songs were sent in this year? It's true! I have been compiling my thoughts throughout the year, and I hope at least one or two of you share yours too. I'm not including songs I sent in because that would be unfair and boring for everyone, so as Ellie Goulding once predicted, anything could happen.
How did you personally help or hinder the advancement of the human race this year? Find out soon!!

This is the worst country to get in DSFE. Fact!!! They did manage one finalist which is more than some countries did, but Bosnia has such a limited diaspora that there's not even any reliable back-ups. What does the wasteland of rock and turbo folk look like this year?
Btw I'm not linking all the songs because I neglected to do so earlier in the year and I'm not going to copy and paste 802 links now.
12 Bella Ciao − Goran Bregovic ( shar_ds )
Far be it from me to drag traditional Bosnia music but this is unlistenable.
11 Sarajevo - Beograd − Tropico Band ft. Mirza Soljanin ( GreekFan )
10 Back to Paradise − Ferry Corsten ft. Haris ( BethnalGreen )
Haris is the false prophet, y'all! Bosnia are just gonna have to wait for another Australian Idol alumni.
9 Lights − Axel Wolph ft. Madita ( BethnalGreen )
8 Dreamer − Adna ( Yugimuto1 )
These two are at least different but nothing happens.
7 Free.mp3 (The Pirate Bay Song) − Dubioza Kolektiv ( Lurker62 )
Entertaining for 17 seconds at least.
6 Nocna Patrola − Anabela ( Lisa.B )
5 Zlatan Ibrahimović − Sanjin & Youthman ( Cuishla )
4 Vatra − Zuzi Zu ( ChickenFromKiev )
3 Neke Se Noci Ne Spavaju − Lana Jurčević ( GreekFan )
There is nothing to say about any of these except maybe the Zlatan Ibramhović song. Does he know about it?
I'll take 4th for Vatra I may do something similar, although not as detailed as yours.
Yay I look forward to it. The autistic level of detail I'm going into here has definitely improved my typing speed and maybe not my marriage
81. Moldova
I may have mentioned that year when I had Moldova 3 times in 4 contests. That was the worst year of my life. Nicoleta Nuca may have made Moldova look like it wasn't all that bad in 2015, but this was a mirage. The evidence:
Cyprus managed to not get a single finalist this year, an honour usually reserved for the likes of Montenegro or Georgia, but those two are making positive changes in their lives /spoiler while Cyprus has become even more trash than before!
Angelika Dusk was the best thing to happen to Cyprus last year. So much for that; this managed to iconically score 0 points in the QF! This is the only time this has ever happened afaik. I decided to link it above so that you will know what to look for if you ever wish to try and match this performance. (It's actually not that terrible though).
He's literally sitting on the sofa in his living room. Come on.
10 Mirror − Valence ( ChickenFromKiev )
9 Nuxtes Kaftes − Eleftheria Eleftheriou ( GreekFan )
8 Ston Kósmo Ton Dikó Tis − Eleftheria Eleftheriou ( thengp12 )
7 Tipota De Mas Stamata − Ivi Adamou ( Yugimuto1 )
6 Boy − Nikki Lee ( GreekFan )
Cyprus has all the worst parts of Greek music without any of the redeeming features. I think GreekFan mentioned that Eleftheria Eleftheriou is a bitch, lol? I hope he is pleased to rank above her here.
5 100 (Built For This) − Dappy ( mikabv )
mika unironically sending Dappy
4 Come Out & Play − Naughty Claudia ( Greecelove )
3 Keep on Dreaming − Sertari ( TerryP )
Remember that time when Sertari was meant to revolutionise Cyprus? Sometimes you just don't get what you want.
With a little more passion, Giorgos might have qualified.
Cyprus' one ray of hope is in the form of Christina Loizu, but will be racing against Bulgaria every time she releases new music, so I look forward to that rivalry.
A 4th for my robbed Moldovan finalist (it was 4th in it's QF). If I did it with that Game Over song by Aelyn. Why did Inima Mae not?
YAAS at my Null points! Gosh I could not believe I got the fat 0! I mean the host knew I was getting the 0 why no sympathy vote? I jest. I am quite proud of my QUARTER FINAL NULL POINTS! To be judged as THE WORST song in the contest/of all time! Is a badge of honour!

I think it's hard after a country (especially a 'bad' one) wins to bring back the same artist with a song that isn't as good. Castele de Nisip only barely qualified, and Inima Mea barely missed out, so I think everyone is over Nicoleta.
Also I just realised that was me hosting when Angelika Dusk, sorry but also not really, for allowing history to be made.
Sorry for not voting in the last two heats, especially a shame since if I had, I would've qualified with Patrick Dorgan I still managed to make it with Sergey though, even if liked Nika better myself
Will try to vote in the next couple, although I can't make any promises
