thank God no international jury in Hungary to send the trash “Roses”.
Welcome back, Joci!
Off: Leonora won in Denmark.
I haven’t heard it but any song written by Lise Cabble I trust (two of Denmark’s greatest entries to her credit, including their last winner!)
Well done Hungary. Joci was fantastic. Very good decision. Final for Hungary again.
I hope he stays in the semi final. Awful song. Just like his previous one. He’s utterly boring and untalented.
Well done, Joci! Guess we are getting a returner after all. Just not the one folks expected.
While i wanted either The Middletonz or Gerg? Szekér, Joci still has a very good entry, and he can really perform live. The televoters picked the best out of the avaliable options, so I’m happy.
Off: Meanwhile, in Denmark: Julie & Nina, Leonora and Sigmund are the superfinalists.
Leonora for the win!
Really sad for The Middletonz, and Gerg? Szekér.
The favorites’ curse continues…
I’m not watching it (Duna’s player really hates me), but according to Wikipedia we’ll have Joci, Acoustic Planet, Bence and Bogi Nagy on the final round. I guess this means Joci will come back to Eurovision?
I’m really hoping for Madár, Repülj!
Roses is overrated and hopefully won’t even make the superfinal
I don’t think Middletonz have a chance to win – not that I don’t like their song, it’s actually one of my favourites, but it barely qualified from the semifinal. Hungarian juries won’t give it enough points – they have other favourites.
Last year, juries only gave AWS 8 points in total in the final but it was enough for it to go to the superfinal which was 100% televote. So you never know what might happen. Plus they were just 4 points off the winner so they just have to perform to their best, hoping that the jury’s’ favorites falter. Hungary need to make the system 50/50, juries have WAY too much power.
But AWS qualified to the final (from the semifinal) right away – not through second round of voting like The Middletonz. But you’re right – anything can happen. I also agree with you that the jury have too much power.
I understand why The Middletonz appeak to most people, but Joci Papai is my favorite.
Will there be any problems with the rapper from The Middletonz. I mean he is Iranian so maybe they will reject him to enter Israel? Sorry for not knowing how this is. I was never in Israel and I don’t know how the situation would be in the airport…
Iranian-Dutch.
Israel accepts all nationalities, it is Iran and the other countries who have it in their law to not accept Israeli citizens or even anyone who has visited Israel.
pretty sure he has a Dutch passport.
It does slightly feel like calling an act a “favourite” in ESC 2019 is like marking them with a curse.
It’ll be interesting to see if The Middletonz break this trend or fall to it like all the rest. I think they’re really good, it’s a solid entry in a genre that doesn’t always get represented at ESC, and I also really like Andras Kallay-Saunders, but I’m not convinced they’re going to win. At least A Dal has a really good mix of entries to choose from. Good luck to all!
Yeah, I was like “don’t jinx it!”
Ha yes that is exactly what I thought too when I saw this headline!
And it jinxed it.
I really hope not. Roses is a mess.
I love that song and hence I’m pretty sure it won’t win since all my favourites have been failing this season…
The fan favorites seem to be jinxed this year.
What’s with all the hype with “Roses” ??? Rap never do well at ESC. If this qualify it’s only that than most of the other songs are bad as well this year.
Go Joci !!
The song itself though is the best song in the selection. It’s actually really good, I downloaded it 🙂 Also Joci had rap in his eurovision song and came in the top 10
It’s about time to have rap in the contest! But I’d take Madár, Repülj!
