      I actually think this year for the most part the actual contestants were better than 2nd places. Past 2 years that was not the case at all. BUT a lot of good songs finished lower than 2nd. For example Jüri Pootsmann............

    - I think you forgot Russia. The 2nd place was Bitter Words, that song with the random Spanish lyrics
    - According to Hooverphonic, there were actually 2 songs to choose from
    - Slovenia, Romania, Azerbaijan, Greece, Poland, and the UK have also some other entries that we didn't even have a chance to hear.
    - Imaginary Friend was 2nd. It, GUIGO and Funeral Song are actually top 3 according to Victoria. GUIGO and Imaginary Friend tied and Victoria broke it in favor GUIGO.
    - Tout L'univers and its English version Ground Zero actually competed internally to represent Switzerland.
    - James Newman is gonna release the 2nd best song from the British internal selection as a separate single.
    Update:
    - Vincent Bueno from Austria just released Demos for 2nd placed songs "Parachute" and "Dumb Human Bias"

    Tbf, for me a crap load of songs in MGP deserved to be in Eurovision. Felt like MGP finals is more of a bloodbath than SF2 in actual Eurovision. Like besides Tix and Keiino, a few songs that I can think of that was reeeeeally good for me included songs like Hero, Pages, Psycho, Faith Bloody Faith, Witch Woods, etc. For me at least MGP was the strongest this year since I felt like even the songs that didn't make the final deserves to be in Eurovision
