March 8Mar 8 Congrats Felicia - such a great song, but the ones by A*Teens and Meira Omar are also strong.
March 8Mar 8 For me, the most generic nation at Eurovision. The performance feels almost non-existent, because the woman literally isn’t even visible 90% of the time, and the focus isn’t on her but on the lights, the smoke, and some “big festival” atmosphere. Vocally, visually, and in terms of originality it’s a nicely packaged bomb that’s empty inside.
March 8Mar 8 This is a great song choice and probably my favourite, alongside “Iconic”, from this final. However, both times she’s performed this I’ve thought the vocals are pretty terrible. It feels like the sort of entry that Eurovision fans will love but I can’t see it lighting up the scoreboard in the final. I think Greczula might have been a better choice, despite not enjoying the song as much.
March 8Mar 8 On first listen - much preferred Iconic This feels very generic to me and I got bored! I accept this for ballads as I like how they grow on repeat listens Maybe it’ll be a grower…
March 8Mar 8 I don't believe Grezcula would have had big chances at the ESC - sounds a bit too exchangeable for me. So very happy that Felicia made it!!!

I think he has it in him to win in the future, but this wasn't the song. It's a little bit derivative of too many other songs and styles (ABBA, Queen, Gloria by Umberto Tozzi, the list honestly goes on).Felicia was definitely their best bet for Eurovision, although Medina could have done well too looking at their jury score (and it would have clearly been a good song for the televote too). I still prefer Que Sera to Viva L'amor myself.
March 10Mar 10 I haven't watched them all, but 'My System' and 'Iconic' were both fantastic performances!I'm sure 'My System' will do great in Vienna (even if the other would have been more iconic, in my eyes 🙈)
March 30Mar 30 So... 'My System'... I was just singing along to you..."You're in every touch, and fart, and every shart". Why did that have to happen, now I need to somehow unhear that? 🤣
