You are so concerned with visuals, staging etc. that you miss out the essence. The song, the melody, the feeling that you receive by listening to the song, a dance song, a ballad, it doesn't matter. Personally, the best song of last night that I will be gladly having it in my playlist is 🇨🇾🇨🇾🇨🇾🇨🇾. It is definitely a song that you will forget easily as you mention.

@Wavy77 Год назад

I followed the live bookmakers odds for this semifinal and it was between Estonia, Georgia and Albania to pick up the 9 and 10 spot. Both Estonia and Georgia had seen a downward trajectory on the betting lists the last week, but Georgia seemed to lie 10-15% over Estonia the whole time. What I saw right before the betting stopped was that Albania went up almost as high as Estonia (55-56%) while Georgia went to the lower part of 60% (I know the historic list says 75% but they edited that after the list was stopped). What was so apparent was that Georgia had some x-factor that made it tumble down the lists for the best part of the last two weeks. I'm still curious as to what that was. Honestly I'm not even sure that it ended 11, cause that downward arrow was just ominous. There was something more going on there.

@mentonerodominicano Год назад

I will say that I first heard all the songs, Gustaph's song was the one that stood out to me upon first listen. It's a good song, but it's just a nice house pop song and considering all of the other acts in the Grand Final I'd be surprised if it ends up in the top 15 at all. 17-23 placement maybe. A Kati Wolf situation. That being said, he's totally earned his place as an Eurofan favorite from now own.

@Thecharmingteendad Год назад

I got 8/10 with the only two that I got wrong being Iceland because she truly is a really nice performer and Denmark because i thought his Influencer fans would carry him to the final but they only were my 9th and 10th so i'm not that sad about the results since I still got my top 8 from this semi final ❤️👏 this semi final was also really nicely hosted and I'm excited for the Final

@-_YouMayFind_- Год назад

I feel sad for Georgia. Its a little unfair to me that some have lower budgets then others. Poland for example clearly had a big budget and she went through mot because of the song or vocal quality. Also I find the camera work this year chaotic. It got me dizzy sometimes.

I felt like the issue with La Zarra's performance wasn't her vocal, but the arrangement in the background. The deep bass/house sound seems to have taken a back seat and it seems hollow. The audio on the original track is far more rich and luxe. Combine that with her aesthetic and you're onto a winner.

@mentonerodominicano Год назад

There were trying to make something happen with Blanka and the screen, but it did not translate very well at all. Like, during the second verse it looked like her screen version was supposed to fade into her real self and it was just an awkward cut. She's lucky the song is catchy.

@Alina_1127 Год назад

Guys... If you are trying to suggest that Jokers Out are more professional than Australia, read the room. I sincerely hope that Slovenia came well behind Australia and Austria in whatever order you want. The song and the band are fine ... but Promise is a much better song, and if the band give it some kitsch, it's warranted!

I don't get Austria at all. I thought the staging and camera work didn't do them any favour, that the energy and the humour of the video was totally lost here. Albania was excellent; very well performed and great staging. Belgium as well: not the greatest song but he sings so well and he looked like he was having such a blast on stage. I thought Georgia would qualify because everyone seems to like it so much, even though I never cared for it and thought the performance was very dragging.
