May 9, 20232 yr Pretty pleased with the results , would have preferred The Netherlands and Ireland over Serbia and Moldova, but it was fine margins. At least Latvia, Malta and Azerbaijan are gone.
May 9, 20232 yr Author Happy for Portugal! Expected qualifiers. Was expecting Malta to squeeze through, alas. :(
May 9, 20232 yr Only Switzerland is a dud Q and only Latvia a big loss as a NQ, I'll take it. we were doing so well with Croatia and Moldova announced first and then CH come through anyway Norway was easily a safe Q, should have had Serbia last, great that Serbia got through after all then
May 9, 20232 yr Gutted for Ireland Annoyed that Croatia and Portugal qualified, but Croatia were always going to qualify
May 9, 20232 yr I envisage it finishing something like this for the semi. 01 | Sweden 02 | Finland 03 | Norway 04 | Israel 05 | Moldova 06 | Czechia 07 | Serbia 08 | Switzerland 09 | Croatia 10 | Portugal ---------- 11 | Malta 12 | Netherlands 13 | Latvia 14 | Azerbaijan 15 | Ireland Well then... :lol:
May 9, 20232 yr Now the juries are introduced I think Switzerland could be in for a shock top 10 placing This is my worry too. It smells like jurybait in all of the worst ways
May 9, 20232 yr This is my worry too. It smells like jurybait in all of the worst ways Hopefully in the bigger and stronger 26 song mix his televote backing will reduce to near zero to offset the juries swooning over it, and hopefully just end up in the teens.
May 9, 20232 yr This is my worry too. It smells like jurybait in all of the worst ways I'm slightly concerned but I don't see a world where it was above 8th in the televote here - feels like a good shout to come last on the televote in the final. though there aren't that many ballads to compete with must be why this year is so good
May 9, 20232 yr Pleased that all of my top 5 made it through as I was a bit worried for Serbia *.* and I think only Switzerland made it from my bottom 5 so :clap:
May 9, 20232 yr I’m delighted with the results - and I got 9/10 right in my predictions which I’m happy about. I vastly prefer The Netherland’s song to Croatia’s, but their performance was one of the weakest of the night and Croatia’s actually entertained me. Chuffed that Switzerland, Serbia, and Moldova made it as I was least confident about them. The rest were rather obvious. Now who’s gonna win the battle of the Scandinavian countries in the final?
May 9, 20232 yr I think Switzerland came across really well tonight? Not my favourite, but definitely the stronger of the male entries
May 9, 20232 yr Now who’s gonna win the battle of the Scandinavian countries in the final? It’s not even a competition. I Love Norway but it’s coming way behind Loreen and Denmark is DOA The battle of the Nordics is much tougher tho
May 9, 20232 yr Sad for Malta but I was expecting it given its placing in the running order and it being in the tougher semi. It would have added a lot of fun to the Final, the performance really helped lift the song.
May 9, 20232 yr It’s not even a competition. I Love Norway but it’s coming way behind Loreen and Denmark is DOA The battle of the Nordics is much tougher tho That it is. At this point the only real competition I see for Sweden and Finland is France
May 9, 20232 yr Can't really argue with these results, everything essential made it through and I will fully admit that I got it wrong on Switzerland after that performance - they're the ones that probably elevated themselves the most through their performance (good old reliable Sacha Jean Baptiste hey x)
May 9, 20232 yr Gutted for Ireland Annoyed that Croatia and Portugal qualified, but Croatia were always going to qualify what?? Croatia were always to qualify?? i would preferred Ireland or Netherlands over nonsence Croatia, Happy for Portugal was it was obvious qualifiers, if with low budget staged they qualified imagine with a high budget.
May 9, 20232 yr it was me or did some of you noticed differences of the sound quality of some acts?? I thought it was the microphones, Switzerland, Ireland, Israel, Sweeden, Finland and Chechia had their sound better while singing, while the others had some kind of "echo" or "emptiness" on their vocal sound.
May 9, 20232 yr Author That it is. At this point the only real competition I see for Sweden and Finland is France Not with these vocals :kink:
