Raiven - Veronika (LIVE) | Slovenia 🇸🇮 | First Semi-Final | Eurovision 2024 

I screamed when they announced Slovenia. Well done Europe for saving this masterpiece. So happy that Serbia, Croatia & Slovenia qualified.

The fact that she's delivering studio quality vocals while moving all the time, crawling over the stage and being in all sorts of unnatural positions is impressive.

THIS WOMAN DID NOT GIVE A F ABOUT THE ODDS AND WENT AND PROVED THEM WRONG. SLAY QUEEN

The tempo is around 120 in 4/4 time (I think), she held those high notes for at last 15 bars if I calculated correctly. And she took around 10 breaths. As an average amateur choir soprano singer, I can tell you that she is a top class amazing singer. Those high notes are no joke. I was singing in Carmina Burana. Ave Formosisima was very difficult for soprano, I think it's near Ravens Veronika. I really don't know how she did it, dancing+singing this part. This is physically challenging.

SLOVENIA SERBIA AND CROATIA 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

If Bambie Thug is a Witch, then Raiven is a High Elf Sorceress

Best ESC song this year 100%. (not the best year, this the only song i had to add on playlist) Too underrated! Deserves to win. Cheers from Finland 🇫🇮

The day after the finals and it's this song that's stuck in my head

Odds said no, televote said YES! Art finally won for once. Congrats Raiven, congrats Slovenia ❤️

The way she’s looking in the camera so powerful

From 2:35 the way she stands in the middle surrounded by the dancers i realised it portrays the witch (veronika) being burned at stake. The dancers movements represents the flames. Wow thats what i called ART!!! Go Slovenia 🇸🇮!!!

I know Veronika was accused of witchceaft and drowned accprding to the legend and I think that's why Raiven is wearing this outfit that almost looks as if her skin is wet, and there's a lot of water elements both on the stage and the lyrics but did you notice how at the end the dancers bring her up and it looks like she's a witch burning at the stake? It may just be me, but I find this detail so amazing

She left her soul on the stage. Raiven you are amazing. Slovenia should be proud of her.

The balkans this year are INCREDIBLE 🖤

Slovenian Siren🤩🤩🤩 My vote from Ukraine is for you🇸🇮❤️🇺🇦

Braćo Slovenci, Raiven je odlična. Rasturila je. Držim vam fige za što bolji plasman u finalu. Pozdrav iz Hrvatske. 🇭🇷👍🇸🇮

Legend says, that when Slovenia's qualification was announced - millions of souls could be heard sighing in relief.

Čestitke iz Srbije ❤ Zaslužen ulaz u finale, moćan nastup, moćan vokal 👏 Puno sreće u finalu! ❣

Što je više slušam, više mi se sluša😊 predivna❤

Best vocal …esc 2024

Doesn't suprise me to the slightest that she qualified. Girl deserved it. Looked stunning, vocals were amazing and everything else was on point. Congrats Slovenia 🇸🇮

Bravo bravo, baš mi je drago što ste prošli! 🇸🇮🇷🇸🇭🇷 Pozz iz 🇧🇦

Veronika is a witch who really existed in Slovenia, she was drowned. The story is important to understand the performance and why she is a naked performer. The performance was complete without mistakes with a superb voice. sLOVEnija:)

The most charismatic woman that has ever been on Eurovision stage! Stunning!!!

Thank you all for voting!! It's so nice to see Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia in the finals 💓

Slayven literally ate these odds. Everything about this is perfect, I'm so glad that people went for quality and voted for her in the end 🇸🇮❤️

I'm fascinated,watching again again and again. slovenia should be proud of her

APSOLUTILY 12 from CRO!!!!! Raiven, teško je danas biti drugaciji i poseban! Ovo je izvan kategorijski ❤

This entry was soo underated by bookies. Thanks Slovenia for making me 💰💰

this is art, the way she’s looking at the camera, the singing - everything. if this doesn’t qualify i swear to god-

Bravo iz Srbije 💜❤💜❤💜

To me the most underrated song in this years contest. 🤍💙❤️ from Greece

I was LITERALLY screaming "SLOVENIA" every time they announced a new country, praying they qualify and when they said "Slovenia" you don't know how happy I was 🇬🇷❤️🇸🇮 I'll vote for you in the final.

The third day this song doesn't go out of my head! I listen to this song more and more I don't get tired of it! Magnificent voice!

Slovenes played her dirty. The amount of mean comments under RTV SLO (national television) articles about her was immense, with people insulting her and wishing she did not qualify. It's crazy how mean some people treat their own contestant. She is literally a very educated musician with tonnes of experience, and the Slovenian public treated her like some talentless newcomer with no experience. What a disgrace! No wonder her song is exactly about that-people misunderstanding you if you are different. I'm glad other countries show more appreciation for her (especially Croatia and Serbia).

My vote from Ukraine for unbelievable Slovenian Sirena🇸🇮❤️🇺🇦

can we also talk about the vocal quality? there was a point I had to remind myself she was singing live

Gonna vote for Slovenia this Saturday! Greetings from Belgrade 🇷🇸❤️🇸🇮

This is the biggest climber after the semi finals for me. I always kind of liked the song, but thought something was missing. There is nothing missing any longer. This is great. Maybe even in my top 3 in the final.after only being 16 in my prior rankings.

Veronika is my favorite song this year. She is such a beautiful and powerful voice. Greetings from Turkey. 🇹🇷😘🇸🇮

One of my favourite songs this year is Slovenia. The staging is more artistic, vocally flawless. I think Raiven deserves a place in the final.❤

Vote Slovenia 🇸🇮

Bravo lepotice.Ti si za mene apsolutni pobednik.Najlepša si i najlepše pevaš.Ne misli na plasman,nek bude šta bude ti si svejedno BROJ JEDAN.🥰

Ma predivna pjesma! Hvala, mili mi susjedi ❤🇸🇮🇪🇺🇭🇷 bit će super finale!

Soo powerful...12 points from your neighbour!..... ITALY❤❤❤

No matter what happens, we are proud of Raiven for representing us at Eurovision. She did a great job. ❤️ Thank u Raiven!

When she hits that high note every single hair in my body rose up in goosebumps, what a powerful performance!

SHE DELIVERED. MASTERPIECE. Ovo je remek djelo. Volimo vas susjedi! BRAVO!!! 🇸🇮💗🇭🇷

Sooo mighty! Everything! Well deserved finals! 😍 Love from Serbia! 🇷🇸❤🇸🇮

Kad sam vidjela onu njezinu iskrenu reakciju i srecu na prolazak dalje, najezila sam se, prekrasan umjetnik, poslala sam glasove 🇭🇷❤ 🇸🇮 sretno u finaluuu❤❤❤❤

An excellent singer and a very charismatic person. Absolutely the best performer of this year's edition. ❤❤❤

Kakav fascinantan nastup! Bravo, bravo, bravo Raiven! 💙 iz Hrvatske

That arm shaking though... The inhaling, the dedication... She left her heart on that stage! Amazing!!! ❤️

I am listening to this masterpiece 5 days in a row. What a performance!

Oh my Good! Love from Croatia.

Honestly... should be top 5

Loved your performance! Not understanding anything I thought you perfectly embodied a siren. Now that I saw the lyrics match your performance I hope the best result for you Slovenia ❤ from Romania

Europe vote tomorrow #22 🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥳

Raiven is one od a kind. I've been on many od her concerts, acts etcetera. But what she did on that stage... is something that my country has never done. All of her body, energy and her soul went into that act. She is truly a Slovenian artist that I respect from the bottom of my heart. I will always remember when I went on my first pride parade in Slovenia and she was the one that preformed that afternoon/evening and she came right at me after she was done with her song and she said to me"I can't belive that you know all of the lyrics to my songs". She is so amazing. I respect her and love her bcs shes truly an artist that Slovenias doesn't rly know but I hope that she will light a spark in their hearts ❤️ Thank you Raiven. I'm so thankfull that you are being true to yourself and also that you are one of the few that are supporting the Lgbt scene in our small country❤

Raiven nas je oduševila na Dori, a isto tako i sada na ESC✨Morska sireno srečno v Grand Finalu!🍀12 točk od Hrvaške

OMG!! The last minute of the performance was probably on of the most epic Eurovision moments lately!!! Well done Raiven and her team!! They proved tonight they are real professionals ❤

Pure perfection of Art.The tragic story behind, beautiful music that builds up to the high powerful vocals and cinematic coreography are just on high point above everything. Raiven and her dancers are beyond this world 💙 ❤️ how they worship and control the whole stage to the last breath. The presentation ends so beautiful when the dancers lift Veronika from water depths to the light ☀️ This is by far the most epic and spectacular performance ever made on Eurovision stage 💎 💙 ❤️ 🔥 🔝 Raiven deserves to Win 👑

Odlična, odlična, odlična!! sLOVEnia dugo nije imala ovako ubedljiv nastup! Želim joj puno sreće včrs i poeni za nju i Baby Lasagnu od mene iz SRB🇷🇸 ❤️

As a Japanese fan, this was the first time that I actually voted in Eurovision (I couldn’t vote last year because the show begins at 4am😂) I’m so happy that she qualified for the final!!

Pure magic and an explosion of emotions.

Here from Australia and I'm officially invested in Slovenia for the win. I literally can't understand a word and I'm still getting goosebumps

I WAS SO SCARED SHE WOULDN'T MAKE IT. I VOTED 12 TIMES FOR SLOVENIA AND SHE MADE IT 🎉🎉🎉🎉 GO SIRENA!!!!!!

SERIOUSLY VOTE #9 THIS WOMAN COMPETED IN 3 NATIONAL FINALS BEFORE TO BE ON THAT STAGE SHE DESERVES TO BE THERE ON SATURDAY AT THE LEAST

Amazing performance. Grettings from Poland ❤

Trio fantastico... Slovenija, Hrvatska, Srbija... ❤❤❤

Since I have heard for the 1st time this song on Semi-finals one - I must say, this song so grew in me, and it's now my favorite. We'll see today, but hardly something can beat this masterpiece 😍😍😍 From Croatia 🇭🇷 to sLOVEnia 🇸🇮 12 points ❤️

One of the best songs and show this year. Just love it❤

After the 1 and 2 semi she is still my number one😍😍😍😍😍 I will vote for Raiven.12 p from Poland to Slovenia 😍😍😍😍😍

I’m obsessed and thrilled how Balkans are strong this year! STRAIGHT FOR THE WIN!❤️🇸🇮🇷🇸🇭🇷

They nailed it. ANd she is like Veronica burnning at the stake at the end. The dancers are the flames. Masterpice, masterpiece, fckn masterpiece. Restart.

I WAS SCREAMING IN THE MOMENT WHEN SHE Q! The VOICE IS PERFECTION! She is a superstar!

Such a great performance.

Questioning her performance and saying that she will not qualify blows my mind! While it’s a winning material for me!!!

So happy that Slovenia and Serbia and my country Portugal made it from a semifinal which was solely decided by the televoting! ❤❤

An extraordinary surprise. Definitely the best song in the first semi-final and a strong candidate to win. I'm fascinated.

This song is so hypnotic🤩. I think it's because it's sung in Slovenian. Love that more countries are singing in their own language! Her voice is beautiful. Bravo👏.

She is so powerful. I literally stop breathing when she gets on the stage. The voice. The energy. So unique and strong. Couldn't be more proud of Slovenian entry.

I do not understand how the bookmakers placed this so low. I screamed so loud when they announced her and when she started crying I also started crying. Love!!!

For me, one of the best songs in this final, which deserved at least the TOP 10. The audience in Europe might not have understood, but the fact that the jury in individual countries did not appreciate it is a blasphemy. Raiven is one of the most talented singers in this final. Naturally I voted only for her and I do not understand how it was possible, that e.g. Austria was so close to her. Greetings from Poland.

I loved Raiven from the first time I listened to Veronika and her qualifying was the single best thing last night

Since I cannot vote for my own county tonight (Croatia) my all votes will go to Slovenia and Serbia :) My wish is to see all three countries in top 10. Good luck :)

Iz Hrvatske od mene 10 glasova a u finalu 20❤Raiven❤

This should place high in Grand Final!!!! 🇸🇮💕

One of my favourites. I believe it has potential for top 10.

Another one I voted for who got through ❤ what a great performance you can’t take your eyes off her - really hope this does well on Saturday

In this moment she has best voice in all evening and her Song is so suggestive! Good luck for the final and greetings from Italy to Slovenia!

she looks so ethereal omg!!! mind blowing song, let's go slovenia!!

Veramente stupenda esibizioneeeee! So emotional! ❤ form Italy!

She is my winner! Love from Moldova.❤

After 💙 this performance Eurovision is never going to be the same again. Raiven and her spectacular dancers deliver 1 after another epic performances 💎 Her artistry, high rules aesthetics and self control are insane. Now Its her time and turn to shine. Go Raiven ❤ youre on the right path, reach for the 🔝👑 💙 ❤️

everything is spot on didnt lose a note or a shot she is CAPTIVATING
