Yeah, I hate to be the grinch of DSC, but as most of my favorite songs are out and my song is out, I'm pretty much done here. It was a good run a couple of editions ago, but dance pop had returned to it's throne I guess, and that's just not my thing.
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy
Tough draw for us to try and get through against Ireland, hopefully we get into the final but I think we are probably the underdog in our head to head.
The competition has been high tonight, we've only just cleared the blood from the stage, it's been that competitive tonight! But Amsterdam, there's a reason why there's a 'C' in the DSC name - it's a contest. We have to eliminate some acts sadly. But first, we will begin by showing you the final running order, then we will fill the gaps with the winner of each duel.
So, we start with slot number 2 in the running order and the act that will take that place comes from duel number 1.
Serbia
vs
Ukraine
It is Marija vs Kristian. Both countries from Eastern Europe, but only 1 will be going to the final. With 67% of the vote share, the winner of the duel is...
Spoiler
Serbia
Congratulations! But now we turn to song number 6 in the final, and it will be the winner of duel number 2...
Wales
vs
Finland
Wales against Finland. Softengine, former winners - will they make it back to the final? The winner received 53% (the closest duel of the night), that act is...
Spoiler
Wales
They look so happy to make it through, make your way down to the stage and we will give you your bouquet. Next in the final will be the song in slot number 12, which comes from duel number 3.
Scotland
vs
Israel
Lorde, The Young Professionals and Anna F - it's time. Scotland have only failed to make it to the final once before, Israel have a 100% success rate. Who will have the chance to perform again at the final? With a 73% share of the vote, the winner is...
Spoiler
Scotland
We are now left then with just 1 pairing in the green room and they are from the 4th duel. They will perform in slot number 14 in the Grand Final on Saturday.
Ireland
vs
San Marino
They closed the show and now they are closing the results. Coincidentally, they both opened their semi-finals, but only 1 can go to the final. Which act though is bound for the final? With 60% of the vote, the winner of this final duel is...
Spoiler
Ireland
That's it! We have a full final line-up for the final of DSC #10 which will take place inside this very arena on Saturday. We'd love to have you back, so remember to tune in, vote and cheer on your favourite acts. That's all for now - congratulations to the 4 new finalists, good night!

The essencial message the song hands over is that independent of your situation there is upside in everytcritical aspect of your life, and one should extract exactly that for the world view.

Life put its mark on us in the most colorful way
and we wear them with pride, our wounds and scars
Life put its mark on us with dirt and dust
but that shines like nacre
So beautifully broken!
We sing the same songs, we're cut from the same cloth
We wanted every single mistake we made
We share the best time until our last day
share the last glass, are finally fucked up
We are forever young but stay the same old guys
We're so incredible, nothing can stop us
We are so beautifully broken, but we are not alone
We are not perfect and never wanted to be.
Life put its mark on us in the most colorful way
and we wear them with pride, our wounds and scars
Life put its mark on us with dirt and dust
but that shines like nacre
So beautifully broken!
We were the cool kids
and my first time boozy was with you
That's been such a long time and so much has happened since then
But we are still here and we are still ourselves.
A life like a painting, broken and blurred
But memories stay like tattooed
We have rough edges, like a rolling stone
We are not perfect and never wanted to be.
Life put its mark on us in the most colorful way
and we wear them with pride, our wounds and scars
Life put its mark on us with dirt and dust
but that shines like nacre
So beautifully broken!
So, so
we are so beautifully broken
So, so
so beautifully broken
Life put its mark on us in the most colorful way

Life put its mark on us with dirt and dust
but that shines like nacre
So beautifully broken!
So, so
we are so beautifully broken
So, so

we are so beautifully broken

Wow! It has been really dificult to decide who will have my 12 points. It was a close call between 6 songs. All of them might have been awarded with 12 points, but i could one choose one
Curiously, in the semifinal I gave low score to my 12-point and 10-point songs

Yeah there was a couple of nicer editions last year I think but back to business it seems

Also the political voting is worse than in ESC: Latvia 12 points to a Latvian act starting for Micronesia, Wales awards 12 points to Ireland and England awards 10 points to Ireland and 12 points to Scotland
