Honest Semi Final 2 Recap - Eurovision 2024 

I’m thrilled Latvia qualified the song is not amazing but the vocals were great and he is genuine and emotional xxx

Agree about Greece feeling like multiple bits mashed together. I said to my wife it feels like one of those mash-up radio jingles where they just play a whole bunch of clips and sound effects to advertise the radio station.

Go Dons! Well deserved without the fancy kerfuffle!

I felt so bad for Albania not qualifying, Besa is such a sweetheart.

About Greece, although there were indeed problems with microphone placement, the shaky vocals were mostly because of a pharyngitis Marina got

I love Hurricane and I hope that they win tomorrow💗

Just for clearity: i saw in the greek news paper that marina had high fever and sore throat earlier in the day wich might have effected the prefomance

Switzerland's performance was stunning! I really hope Nemo is this year's winner.

❤ I always enjoy your reactions and your good & honest opinions. Go on like this! Greetings from Switzerland.

''If it wasn't for the bottoms, we wouldn't remember Spain''. I can't even begin to tell you how much this made me laugh

Thanks for your honest review!!!

Thanks, wonderful review as always.

Thank you for reacting Eden's stunning performance. She was OUT OF THIS WORLD with those amazing vocals 💙

By not reacting, you made a statment. It is ok to re-visit your decision and admit you were wrong. You can allways make a reaction video just for her and be true vocal professional I appreciate your statement here , thank you ❤

Been waiting for your reaction!!!!!! Love seeing your opinions. Thanks for the hard work

Georgina I respect you so much! Very professional, great attitude

Love from Isarel, love your channel ❤️

i've been waiting for your recap ! thanks for your work

Thanks for your honest musical critique. We thought Eden was wonderful to!

Thank you for spreading love 💙🌪️🤍

thanks for the feedback about eden❤❤❤

Thank you for speaking up and sharing your opinion🙏🏻

Thank you!

I was waiting for your reaction about Israel. We shouldn't let anything stop us from enjoying music and valuing talent. Eden Golan is an amazing Singer and the performance was breathtaking ❤ United by music

Marina gave a fantastic show last night while having fever and pharyngitis.

LOVE FROM ISRAEL! ♥

Always love your videos and detailed analysis 😊

You have such a good heart ♥️ it’s clear you’re not making any decision out of hate or bad intentions. Thanks for being honest and fun!

Thank you for reviewing Israël ❤️

I said that about the microphones but her from Israel her voice was so beautiful and so was the song No1 can fault her for that she isn't the problem and as the honest vocal coach it's your job too say and if people have a problem with it it's them who has the problem xxx

To me France 🇫🇷 is very good. It was very emotional and moving and it was just him with no backing singers or Strobe lighting or backing vocals. It was simple and effective

Thank you for the honest reaction on Israel ❤

Thank you for your honest reaction to Eden Golan from Israel in this difficult time 🙏🇮🇱💙🇬🇧🎗️

Marina, for Greece, is actually sick and was sick when she performed. So that’s why it wasn’t at the top

Yay! First reaction here. Hi Georgina, I was waiting for your response. As i'm sitting here in my living room watching your reviews, after I was nagging you so hard, I was so so so so thrilled and moved by your decision! As I'm a fan of your channel for a long time, I actually teared a bit! you are the best Eurovision youtuber! I love you. oops I sent it from my boyfriend's profile but it is Michal Katz from Israel.

thank you for reacting about Israel

We love you Georgina ❤

I very much agree about Israel. I felt like she was one of the strongest vocalist during the 2nd semi final. Israel and Latvia I think were the most powerful voices and very much deserved the spot in the finals. People will always complain about anything they can, and will forget that this is a SONG contest. They complain about Ireland being " satanistic ", they complain about Latvia being " boring " and Israel because of politics. Music should unite us

Love from Israel ♥️

I actually noticed Denmark struggling the most vocally...

Wow, your insights are excellent and highly interesting

Your reviews are so enjoyable. Your professionalism but also just a human-watcher side mixed up together is the best of all on RU-vid. Keep doing your great job! Hugs from Poland

Im very sad beacuse of Belgium… i love that song! I Think he was stressed, i dont know if you see his performance on the voice of belgium, he was sooo good. He can sing i know, and i dont want Watch final without him 😕

Eurovision Song Contest is firm in no politics policy. Its a song contest, music meant to bring the world together. The fact that so many people are bullied (or in your words”trolled”) is so sad and unnecessary. Not everything needs to be political and you should not surrender to bullies ❤

I do not understand why Malta and czechia did not qualify. they did so well, do not understand why estonia, greece and netherlands went through

Sending you love from Israel dear! 🇮🇱♥️

Best and strongest year for me in ESC (and I'm watching since 90s). There is no bad song/performance, some of them just lack a bit originality,like Malta, Cyprus, Greece,Albania...Hosting perfection, i absolutely adore Sweden for this hosting. Best since 2021 and the most enyojable ever. It passed so quickly and it was actually the longest show ever. I really enjoyed every second of it. Well done everyone 👏 👏 👏

We’ll done good prediction xxx

Was at this semi final and it was a great show. I agree with most of your comments. I’ve always loved Latvia so delighted he got through. Very surprised Belgium was an NQ. Switzerland was stunning and such control as they were spinning and jumping. I find France a good singer but he didn’t engage with the audience and sorry it’s a very standard French ballad. love the party vibe from Estonia and the arena really enjoyed it singing along with the ooh ohhs. Never been a fan of the Dutch entry, I believe this style is a thing over there. It’s really strange not reacting to a song when everyone around you is going bonkers. It will be interesting to see what happens with all the controversy since then. Will he be there tonight? Czechia was a surprise. I’ve not been a fan of this song but the performance was really good in the arena and I almost felt sorry for her not qualifying, And then there is Israel. I agree with your stance. It is a beautiful song and any other year could be a contender. But we are here. The atmosphere was toxic and I felt so sorry for this 20 year old Ukrainian! She coped admirably with all the booing throughout the song. I have no problem with protests (except the one that closed the bridge to all traffic from Copenhagen so we couldn’t get to the arena and missed the dress rehearsal for this semi final) i sat in silence and others left the arena during the performance. I did notice they turned the music up loader in the arena before and after the song and I’ve yet to see if the broadcasters did anything else to hide the boos. But overall it was the stronger semi for me and I think it’s a battle between Croatia and Switzerland. Ukraine and Ireland can battle for the third spot. I'll stop now. Enjoy the final x

First, I was really disappointed you didnt make a reaction video for Eden. However, the things you said in this video explaining the threats you got and your beautiful important message wwere fully redeeming. Now I'm a bigger fan of yours!

You are only one I am watching and enyoing your comments. I thing your channel is realy worthy

It's a music competition, of course you need to give your honest opinion on each and every song. If you get hate comments for being a professional- it only tells you what the haters are made of.. just ignore the trolls and keep up the professionalism.

Dons was incredible! ❤ Fingers crossed for the Final!

Well... you'r defenetly honnest. Regards from IL

Hello my favorite vocal coach! 💟💟💟 Greetings from the Netherlands! 🤗

Thanks for kind words regarding Latvia's song and 5/5 Mark! Much appreciated! ❤️❤️🔥

My Favorite Switzerland ❤❤❤❤❤

I fully agree about Israel! She already is there, so there's no reason to leave her performance out

You did the right thing about Israel, music is music so politics aside. Malta should participate Britain Got Talent for her acrobatic performance. Switzerland was the best of the night and France was incredible Estonia was stunning, 0/5 is very sarcastic

Let trolls troll. Just react to a song if you want to. Nobody can do anything about it. I heard Israel's song for the first time yesterday and I LOVED it. Great voice and great song.

Lativa 🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻

Hi! I totally agree with you with Switzerland!!! The peformance was fantastic and also his vocal!!

Thanks for your professional approach towards the Israeli song. Hate should not prevail ❤

Tbh this year is strong enough, and i have way more favorites this year in comparison with previous

Marina was suffering on pharingitis and fever for 2 days already, had to take meds every 3 hours and was happy she didnt lost her voice entirely. She did what she could on the semi 2. Immediately noticed that she was struggling with her vocala and endurance and after the results she was struggling to stay awake for the interviews. At least she had some time to recover on friday so I hope she will feel better for the final and that her voice and endurance will recover a bit so she can have a better Performance cause everyone that saw live performances of hers, know she is a amazing live vocalist.

People shouldn't bully you out of saying what you think, cause that makes the general public feel alone with their feelings/ thoughts if they do not hear different opinions. ☮💟

So sad for the Austrian, I also loved her performance, even if it’s not the best singing and everything, she was a true star full of stamina, what a performance !!! I am happy for us, France Slimane did brought back respect on our flag with his performance.

Never conduct yourself according to internet trolls!

Why did you skip Moldova? I think Moldova improved rapidly.

Thank you for this video. Agree about Switzerland 🇨🇭.

💙💙🤍🤍Eden

I love france! Definently winner for me😀 love love love.

Don’t beat yourself up for mentioning Israel! You are correct in what you said, and even though we all know that Israel probably shouldn’t be in the contest, it is okay to look at it from your angle!

Thanks❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Well done for being impartial with Israel ❤ shame the same can’t be said for the rest of Eurovision fans 😢

I like the costume changes; it gives a chance to see the artists show off different looks and styles… and hold off and surprise again on the final…

Great breakdown! Thank you for it :) Marina Satti was sick with fever while preforming, so that's why her voice may have been a bit off or something of that sort.

Eden is #1❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I am really glad our both opinions were absolutely same for Semi 2, but I am stunned Latvia finally had made it through. I hope our opinions will stay similar :).

Can't wait for the final... holding a Eurovision party at my mother in laws... as the Mexican family love it so much. Give peeps a piece of paper to put in who will do well... 10 points if any win, 8 for 2nd, 6 for 3rd, 4 for 4th and 2 points for 5th position. So five names. Use pencil as you may well be reordering the list.

Thank you ❤🇮🇱

Thank you so much for the reaction to the Israeli song. Don’t let people troll you or bully you to ignore it!!!!!❤️ these people don’t understand that using violence and hatred toward a 20 years old singer in a singing competition is not gonna change anything

Resubscribing ❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱 glad to have you back and thank you for explaining :D

switzerland!!!!!⛑

Switzerland/Nemo was incredible. Thought of Bohemian Rhapsody. And THIS Vocals on an rotating and up and down Slice and with acrobatic moves. I could really live without Estonia and Norway. I love the Song and Vocal Performance of Israel. She is not the one rejecting a peaceful coexistence since many years. She s only 20 years old and with all those pressure on her she STOOD on this stage and sung like an Angel. My favorites are Switzerland, UK (weak Soundmix destroying the vocals as well, hardly recognoiseable spoken Words in the Song, hope they change it), Austria (Guilty pleasure and the spark lighted very late ;-) ) , Armenia. I like Spaoin as well but the vocals are not great unfortunately.

I think you are the best person on the internet.

Thank you from Israel ❤❤

omg I 100% agree about France. It made me feel so uncomfortable

Hi Georgina, looking forward to your review. I had changed Malta: Sarah Bonnici, Loop from NQ to Q with Latvia as an NQ. I almost fell off the chair when Latvia was announced as a qualifier. I have appreciated the vocal performance since the very beginning but I had it as an NQ thinking the televote would not qualify it. Austria: Kaleen, We Will Rave. It looked and sounded to me as if the backing track vocals were so pumped up and high that they were singing the melody vocal lead part. At times, I thought Kaleen was out of breath. San Marino: Megara, 11:11. A total and complete out of control mess. Lines forgotten or not sung. Out of tune, pitch problems all over the place. All.- please do not get mad at me. I am respectful of everyone's preferences and choices. I totally respect the references associated with his personal life and losing his parents at a young age. My heart goes out to him but for me I find Netherlands: Joost Klein, Europapa childish and immature. Fun, yes. To me, the night's winner was without a doubt Switzerland: Nemo, The Code. What an impressive performance. Nemo is now my winner.

22:27 shouldve just stayed honest and react. Thanks for doing so now

Thanks for being Honest I also like France, but I found it a lil bit cringy too I don't know how to describe it, but Georgina express it honestly

Thanks so much for your kind words about Eden and the Israeli performance 🙏🏻 Love from Israel 🇮🇱

React!!! It's a song, she's an individual and you both do what you do. Support you strongly. ❤️

I’m not sure how Austria qualified and Malta did not. I’m not a fan of these girl’s bop where there’s lot of unnecessary dance moves. often songs are weak and dull. Good that you mention that too many artists had pre recorded back vocals to support

Imagine being boo'd and still delivering a 5/5 performance

Well done for commenting on Israel! She really did have an excellent performance.

I think with regards to the costumes there will be alterations with the freeness of being on stage. Especially if they dance and they feel restricted. There were a lot of vocals that were overshadowed by the backing music which you couldn't hear. It seemed like the mikes were turned down. I think it's going to go down to the wire on Saturday. Don't see Ireland in there at all. I'm now thinking Croatia, Switzerland or controversially Israel.

So Sorry about Albania 🇦🇱🥺

Did you mean Heather Morris, from Glee?

As an Estonian it was a big surprise as well that we qualified haha
