May 10, 20214 yr Iceland have gone down very, very well today though! Yeah I've seen this on Reddit too. The press have apparently taken very well to it and just in the last half hour it's jumped from 5% in the betting odds to 9% Don't want to get ahead of myself but this is definitely exciting news! They've also already revealed that the outfits on the stage will not be the outfits they wear on tuesday as they won't debut until the jury performance.
May 10, 20214 yr The problem seems to be a lot of the female acts have similar staging and are going for the Eleni ‘Fuego’ style with the dancers. Could result in them being anywhere between 7th and 12th in the semi? I was thinking this too but how many staging options does a female bop have?
May 10, 20214 yr To cut down on numbers, EBU should have provided 4 backing dancers and everyone has to use just those 4. :lol:
May 10, 20214 yr Apparently Daði's performance is filled with references to previous entries including a dolphin referencing Yohanna's performance, circular pianos referencing Romania 2014 and a reference to Iceland 2014 as well.
May 11, 20214 yr Author Finland seems to have ENERGY *.* yes we expected that but oh, I'm so hyped for it now.
May 11, 20214 yr Russia, Ukraine and Bulgaria were all pleasant surprises. Bulgaria could be back in contention imo. I really like the Slovenian entry, but I seem to be alone there. Moldova and Malta probably had the most disappointing staging for me- was expecting so much more. Looking forward to seeing France and Italy on Thursday
May 11, 20214 yr Agreed on Moldova and Malta. Modova really need to camp it up or make it more silly to match the video. Slovenia - while I don't like the song, the live version will connect to a lot more people than the studio version. It will do a lot better than we think. Ana has no competition in semi 1 for the traditional big belter ballad votes.
May 12, 20214 yr I can see the juries eating up Slovenia in the same way they did North Macedonia in 2019.
May 12, 20214 yr I hope Finland do well, i really like their entry so i hope they dont flop as poor Finland often get so overlooked, Bulgaria could surprise everyone and do really well in the final, i dont think they will even come close to winning but i wouldnt be shocked if they come low top 5.
May 13, 20214 yr BgjBc-6jJoU Welcome back to the top 10 Greece! I think that staging is awful... The song is good though so I expect it to go top ten or thereabouts.
