Okay to be fair Ukraine has been quite a quiet favourite for me and it's sounding suitably epic now I see that performance in a Ukrainian context, not to be counted out by any means.

 

the two performers are working really well as foils to each other

Lithuania is the only one impressing me so far!

Ukraine is solid but I'm not digging using the melody change for the final chorus to the first chorus unforch :( I feel like that was a moment to sync with the choir rather than vocal show-off.

Ukraine going 4/4 on absolute bangers this decade.

This is awful... but enjoying how bad it is

Ukraines performance is very good, and I like half the song but still not fully on board. Can’t see it winning but surely top 5.

Omg Ireland!!!!

It’s a shame Poland is so low energy as on record it’s one of my favourites of the year

Yeah that was bad... but enjoyable how bat sh!t it was :D

Ukraine is good in a low Top 10 way but will do much better than that.

I really don't know what to make of this performance, it does feel a little sloppy even if the song is an 'aw cute' pop bop

Poland... I liked the production of the chorus but I felt like it wasn't quite there. I didn't really like the tower lyrics either.

Think Poland are in after that!

The vocals aren't bad but the vocal mix is the worst here so far. LUNA is too quiet throughout. She didn't quite nail the final chorus as well :( The staging looked pretty empty until the end. Does feel like an NQ

Poland had something and I think I need to watch it back again to see if it's worth listening to more.

Croatia isn’t the worst thing ever

Croatia is a Banger!

Croatia definitely feels like a moment

Okay I am loving Croatia being the favourite ngl, it's got exactly the sort of energy I love seeing in Eurovision

That's a winner right there!! :o The performance is elevated from the NF and now it looks perfect!
