Brace yourselves Athens, it is finally time for the points. This is what everything has been building up to, all 4 shows have been building up to this point. We've had 57 performances on this stage, but only one will be repeated at the end of this voting sequence. That fate has already been sealed, the first half of the voting however will come from those countries have already made it to the final. All 16 competing finalists will vote one by one with a spokesperson. Then the second half is the NQ vote, the vote made up of those countries that didn't make it to the final. Good luck to everyone!
The first country we will call is Germany, we have the competitor from the last edition, Maxim in Munich for us tonight. Guten abend Deutschland!
Kalispera Helena and kalispera Greece. What a great show it has been, we'd like to thank you for hosting another great edition of the DSC. Germany has decided who they would like to win the 9th edition, let's see who their favourites are...

Now, we have heard the results of 5 of the 16 finalists. We still have no idea who will become the 9th winner of the Daily Song Contest. Currently Ireland and The Netherlands are tied for the top spot however France and Sweden are also tied just 1 point behind the leaders. It's getting interesting, isn't it?! Let's have a quick look at the scoreboard...
Your votes will be used in the world jury, the set of points that is allocated to people who didn't compete as a country. Don't worry, they are the last spokesperson before the NQ vote
The nerves are only just settling in here in Athens. We have another 5 countries to call, a total of 290 points will be handed out very soon. Who do you think will win, Athens? Interesting, oh so interesting. Let's see what our spokespersons have to say...
Our first port of call is the United States, we say good evening to a very familiar face, the lovely Kelly Clarkson! Former Greek participant of course, kalispera!
Kalispera Greece, I miss you all so much and I wish I could be there tonight. I love tracing my roots in Greece, I love Athens so so much. It's been great to see the city tonight, it brings back so many memories! Anyway, here are the American points.

Love Netherlands, hate Spain and Ireland! We feel deep sadness for the votings we achieved from Spain and Ireland. But instead, we love our friends from the Netherlands. Keep the fascists out like you do and go for the win, Netherlands

Go Kensington! And go Glasperlenspiel!
I couldn't find a video of the full version of the song which wasn't blocked and after hearing all other entries in full I coudn't vote any points to you if it isn't a fair comparison. Especially as my opinion on some songs changed after hearing the full version instead of just the sample in the recap video.
that wasn't any offense sammy, just that little roleplay ranting sadly germany has strange youtube policies, which is why I can listen to 90% of the songs only via proxflow anyway
Still in a good position, that looks good. Wales leading is a surprise for me, and I expect them to drop a lot, if not with the finalist then with the NQ-voting

Now we only have 6 spokespersons remaining, 5 from finalists and 1 from the World Jury. Just to remind you of who is leading, Wales are in the lead...yes, the crowd are loving it inside the arena! 2nd place is in the hands of The Netherlands so the battle is well and truly on, who wil lwin the 9th Daily Song Contest? We will soon find out...
The first country we will call is Wales, we have the amazing Alex Jones waiting for us in Cardiff, good evening Wales!

What a set of finalists votes it has been?! It looks set to be Wales vs The Netherlands as they sit on top tied on 93 points. Everything is still to be decided in the NQ vote. If you thought you'd seen it all in DSC, we keep serving up surprises. Stay tuned for the final set of points that will crown our DSC champion...
that's what we are talking about! 2 of our favourite songs batteling for the win, especially happy to see Kensington up there!
we had a strong stint now, climbing up to 5th in a table that is incredibly tight from 3rd to 12th - now let's hold our position...or can we even attack the third to make it a dream podium? Vote Glasperlenspiel!
PCM.Daily NFL Fantasy Football Champion: 2012 PCM.Daily NHL Prediction Game Champion: 2013 PCM.Daily NFL Prediction Game Champion: 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2021
The top 2 look out of reach but anything can happen with the NQ vote, and it usually does. Hopefully we can defend our podium or the top 5 at the very least.
Well I predicted the drop of my song correctly, still sad to see how drastically it was. Happy with that top 2 though.
I wouldn't rule Ireland out for the win, as I expect the NQ voting to be more poppy, and form the songs that high it is the most pop one.
