I’m not quite feeling the MASS LOVE Rich mentioned for that performance, but it is very good

Estonia fab as expected, but still feels doomed sadly

Romania is just weird on every level

Not sure if it’s just compared to Denmark, but this is sounding very good

That was… not good. It’s a shame as it’s one of the best songs tonight but if it’s a borderline qualifier that won’t have done it any favours

I’m not often in the habit of espousing the opinion of those other than myself. So yes, I do think this entry is among the top 5 best of the year. Obviously all a matter of personal taste, but I would only put Sweden, Norway and France ahead of it.

If there is any justice in the world Greece will come last. Ideally I would like the following to qualify: Denmark Iceland Belgium Austria Australia Cyprus Lithuania Poland Georgia Albania However, I think it's more likely to be (in no specific order): Denmark Armenia Belgium Austria Australia Cyprus Lithuania Poland Georgia Slovenia

So ended up selling the dress rehearsal tickets (couldn’t justify the expense). We’re arriving Saturday am if anyone has any suggestions of things to do/places to go!

The performance looks amazing - she really just needs a backing vocalist to help lift it, she's not a great singer but with some ''padding'' it would be fine. It's certainly not the abject disaster some would have us believe.

This is based solely on the SONG - not the performance 01 France: La Zarra - Évidemment 02 Sweden: Loreen - Tattoo 03 Norway: Alessandra - Queen of Kings 04 United Kingdom: Mae Muller - I Wrote A Song 05 Ireland: Wild Youth - We Are One 06 Italy: Marco Mengoni - Due vite 07 Cyprus: Andrew Lambrou - Break a Broken Heart 08 Iceland: Diljá - Power 09 Poland: Blanka - Solo 10 Lithuania: Monika Linkyte - Stay 11 Denmark: Reiley - Breaking My Heart 12 Georgia: Iru Khechanovi - Echo 13 Netherlands: Mia Nicolai & Dion Cooper - Burning Daylight 14 Portugal: Mimicat - Ai coração 15 Czechia: Vesna - My Sister's Crown 16 Switzerland: Remo Forrer - Watergun 17 Belgium: Gustaph - Because of You 18 Germany: Lord of the Lost - Blood & Glitter 19 Serbia: Luke Black - Samo mi se spava 20 Croatia: Let 3 - Mama ŠČ! 21 Moldova: Pasha Parfeni - Soarele și luna 22 Albania: Albina & Familja Kelmendi - Duje 23 Australia: Voyager - Promise 24 Finland: Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha 25 Israel: Noa Kirel - Unicorn 26 Austria: Teya & Salena - Who the Hell Is Edgar? 27 Estonia: Alika - Bridges 28 San Marino: Piqued Jacks - Like an Animal 29 Ukraine: Tvorchi - Heart Of Steel 30 Latvia: Sudden Lights - Aijā 31 Spain: Blanca Paloma - Eaea 32 Armenia: Brunette - Future Lover 33 Slovenia: Joker Out - Carpe Diem 34 Romania: Theodor Andrei - D.G.T. (Off and On) 35 Malta: The Busker - Dance (Our Own Party) 36 Greece: Victor Vernicos - What They Say 37 Azerbaijan: TuralTuranX - Tell Me More

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.

Dieing at the Ireland recap being the bit where he ISN'T SINGING - love it

Finland just isn’t for me on any level - I can appreciate it ticks a lot of boxes for people, but it’s a total non song and he can’t sing so yeah - obviously winning the semi easily though 09 Sweden 09 Norway 08 Portugal 08 Czechia 07.5 Ireland 07.5 The Netherlands 07 Switzerland 07 Moldova 07 Serbia 06.5 Israel 06.5 Croatia 05.5 Finland 05 Latvia 05 Malta 03 Azerbaijan

Netherlands better than I thought, still not amazing vocally but should be safely through

Azerbaijan is almost offensively bland - surely that’s coming dead last

Well that’s obviously the performance of the night

I’m usually here for a bit of ethnopop, would be happy to see that through (and think it will make it easily enough)

Israel is a great performance, it’s just a shame they forgot to write half the song

I’m not even sure what to say about Croatia - I should hate it, but it’s just a lot of fun so willing to let it go

I love this on record but the best bits of this are when he isn’t singing which doesn’t bode well (for what little hope I had)

His cameltoe is clearly the star of the show

Portugal delivering exactly as expected *.*

Serbia is alright, the production is the best part - it always feels like it’s going somewhere and then… doesn’t

Malta somehow more anaemic live? Probably sounds even worse compared to Norway

Very much here for Hannah *.*
