Sergey just complaining about air conditioning. (which I understand as he has to keep his voice).

Will you perform your “hate” on Segey just the same as you treated those Slovenians, when they mentioned an issue with air conditioning??

The issue was not air conditioning about Slovenians. The issue is that they were like ‘we should be going home right now but we are here and answering your silly questions’ well look they are maybe one third of age of Serhat. But when Serhat was kind and answering all questions with smiling face;How arrogant and annoying behave those two ‘nothings’ is unacceptable for me. I wish they wouldn’t join that press conference i was not dying to see their meaningless and amateur face

I don’t concider answering stupid questions (same again) at 1am as a “being polite” thing. It’s a lack of assertiveness.
Someone had to say that asking all those same questions again and again is just useless.
Good it was that “kids”. They don’t fake anything.

Erm… “nothings”?
Now that’s being polite for you!

Give them a brake and focus on their music eventually.

So true! I’m fed up with “artists” who consider themselves so above this “unimportant”, “bad” contest they consider to low in quality for them but in which they participate even so and from which they get the biggest attention in their entire career. Hypocrisy at its best. They should meet up with Salvador and tell each other how great and important they are in private and let us enjoy the contest. If they don’t want to be there – just get a life!

Yes, you are. Jonida was great. At least there’s one ethno song in the grand final. I was fearing it would be plastic pop only.

No, you’re not the only one. She was off so many times, but really nobody mentions this. I was really surprised, cause I thought she was a great vocalist. I didn’t expect her to qualify.

Very strange indeed, i thought it is supposed to be live. Was it supposed to be part of the act? Part of the Armenian song with no one in the audience. Anything to do with “Walking out” the lyrics. Bizarre.

RUSSIA -Unexpected goosebumps.
Good music (instrumentaly). +++

ALBANIA -Very ethnic and I like that. Well sung. Odd staging. Has potential for more… +++

NORWAY -Ok. Lost my attention in the end but generally ok. +

NETHERLANDS -I love Eurovision. ++++

NORTH MACEDONIA -Has something, but does it fit ESC? Well written, but needed even stronger voice. +

AZERBAIJAN -Not that good song but this stage production did all job.

SWEDEN -All works here. I have a really good feeling about this. And who knows… 😉 ++++

AUSTRIA -Surprisingly good live vocal according to the others. ++

CROATIA -Not my dream. I don’t get it.
Chorus is low average (sung in tune, though).

MALTA -Again (like last year) they prepared good stage performance. They get it. That’s how ESC should be treated. Good. +++

LITHUANIA -Another one -good production. Though, song is… average. +

ARMENIA -literally walking out this year (?). Expected more from her.

IRELAND -Next one out of tune.

MOLDOVA -Song is nothing, useless. Performance… -copycats always loose.

SWITZERLAND -Lack of creativity in staging. We all saw it before. Though, song is a hit. +

LATVIA – All looks good, but song is boring and chorus annoys me soooooooo (too) much.

ROMANIA -Very average. Doesn’t bother me at all.

They are not my favourite songs but i do believe Saturday nights winner will come from this semi. Either Sweden, Russia or The Netherlands and slightly outside but still with a big chance, Azerbajan. I would like to see something that shocks everybody but i dont think it will happen this year.
