So two sets of ten per hour along with some new entries - you can guess the results but I'll go through the #20 to #1 rundown below. Just a reminder that there were 60 sets of votes, 21 nations had at least one 12 - for each position you will see the number of points, who gave the 12/highest score (yes, there are still two nations without a 12), where it would have placed in its SF/Final and my own personal preference with my score. So here we go with #20 and yes, yet again they are the artist at the top of the article...
#20 GERMANY (Malik Harris)
61 points, highest score 10 points from Enis Huygens & Nicklas Norgaard, 5th out of Big 5.
My #20 - 7.75/10, like the Ed Sheeran & Eminem mix, hopefully a good year for Germany.
#19 AUSTRALIA (Sheldon Riley - "Not The Same")
65 points, one 12 from Tim Gray, 8th in SF2 and Qualifier.
My #9 with two points - 8.75/10, powerful emotions and vocal purity from behind the mask.
#18 SERBIA (Konstrakta - "In Corpore Sano")
My #40 - 5.50/10, we got hand washing instead of Sara Jo.
#17 BELGIUM (Jérémie Makiese - "Miss You")
My 13 - 8.25/10, incredibly smooth R&B with a swagger.
#16 ARMENIA (Rosa Linn - "SNAP")
73 points, one 12 from Miriam Tiernan, 7th in SF1 and Qualifier.
My #7 and 4 points - 8.75/10, beautiful tranquil country vibe and a star on stage.
#15 LITHUANIA (Monika Liu - "Sentamentai")
My #16 - 8.00/10, Lithuanian done in a French way, class and style!
#14 ESTONIA (STEFAN - "Hope")
80 points, highest entry without a 12, highest score 10 points from Anja Hjorth Nielsen & Anita Hjorth Volkmann, 5th in SF2 and Qualifier.
My #36 - 6.25/10, immense video, a bit underwhelming live.
#13 GREECE (Amanda Georgiadi Tenfjord - "Die Together")
89 points, two 12s from Theodoras Filippopulos & Stelios Andreadis, 5th in SF1 and Qualifier.
My #8 and 3 points - 8.75/10, never has an end of a relationship sounded so wonderful!
#12 UKRAINE (KALUSH ORCHESTRA - "Stefania")
118 points, three 12s from Kauno Gyventojas, Georgina Staines & Tristan White, 4th in SF1 and Qualifier.
My #12 - 8.25/10, folk and rap together shouldn't work but it does!
#11 AUSTRIA (LUM!X ft Pia Maria - "Halo")
126 points, two 12s from Michaela Sowden & Elliot Harris, 3rd in SF1 and Qualifier.
My #35 - 6.50/10, huge at Euroclub, filler at Eurovision.
#10 FRANCE (Alvan & Ahez - "Fulenn")
131 points, one 12 from Rob Wells, 4th out of Big 5.
My #10 and 1 point - 8.50/10, Breton authenticity with a massive EDM twist.
#9 FINLAND (The Rasmus - "Jezebel")
132 points, four 12s from Erwin Filiciana, Natasha Sofianou, Anita Hjorth Volkmann & Anja Hjorth Nielsen, 4th in SF2 and Qualifier.
My #30 - 6.75/10, Lauri's vocal is the weak link but the band kicks ass!
#8 NORWAY (Subwoolfer - "Give That Wolf A Banana")
140 points, three 12s from Anni Jowett, Joanne Powell & Jon Bjorkykke, 2nd in SF1 and Qualifier.
My #14 - 8.00/10, fun to watch and clinically delivered but quickly loses impact.
#7 SPAIN (Chanel - "SloMo")
152 points, two 12s from Jayne Davies & Pauli Pekkanen, 3rd out of Big 5.
My #2 and 10 points - 9.00/10, Eurovision ready, RTVE please do not touch it!
#6 CZECH REPUBLIC (We Are Domi - "Lights Off")
153 points, three 12s from Helen Scott, Mark Perkins & Caroline Griffin, 3rd in SF2 and Qualifier.
My #24 - 7.50/10, suits Euroclub more than ESC.
#5 NETHERLANDS (S10 - "De Diepte")
162 points, four 12s from Logan Landen, George O'Neill, Eleonora Alexandrova & Harris Aristodemou, TOP of SF1.
My #27 - 7.25/10, low key ballad, back catalogue is better.
#4 POLAND (Ochman - "River")
My #11 - 8.50/10, best voice of 2022 with haunting melody and prose.
#3 SWEDEN (Cornelia Jakobs - "Hold Me Closer")
246 points, seven 12s from Selina Hargreaves, Emily Roberts, Eddie de Souza, Nicklas Norgaard, Timothy Jumawan, Rodney Maskell & Sonia Legg, TOP OF SF2.
My #15 - 8.00/10, heartfelt ballad to be Jury contender shocker.
#2 ITALY (Mahmood & BLANCO - "Brividi")
My #1 and 12 points - 9.50/10, first time since '94 for a host win?
#1 UNITED KINGDOM (Sam Ryder - "SPACE MAN")
My #4 and 7 points - 9.00/10, live performance perfection raises this to contender status.
Ronela Hajati is kicking things off in Turin...
I am sure that she will be a very entertaining interviewee!
