For me the best song is Spain
My favorite is Ireland. WHY is it so underrated? 🙁
Some of them have outstanding vocals indeed. But I fear some similar performances may overshadow each other. If asked to assess the songs themselves, I hope to see North Macedonia or Poland win and The Netherlands or Ireland completing that top-3 spot. Let’s see what happens tomorrow.
Just in regards to who improved the most through a 2nd rehearsal; Ireland, Kazakhstan, Netherlands (these three are now contenders for the win), Georgia and Armenia.
1. Poland
2.Serbia
3. Armenia
4. Georgia
5. France
Poland Armenia, Serbia, Georgia are all bringing it this year, France and Spain are okay but top 4.
Poland
Armenia
Serbia
Georgia
Poland literally have a song that would smash Eurovision, I wouldn’t be mad if they won again.
MACEDONIA TOP 10??????? APSOLUTELY WINNER!!!! IF DOESN WIN – POLITICAL REASON!
Polish song is soo catchy
can we just appreciate Poland for hosting the contest and giving stunning visuals without any swedish help? Well done to them!
why is Sweden ALWAYS in your comments? haha. weird
Why you always reply when something regarding Sweden is mentioned ? Haha. Weird
Appreciate ? Look at that unfair running order, I mean even Bjorkman would have done better job
Outstanding performances and breathtaking vocals from Spain, Kazakhstan, North Macedonia, Italy, Ireland and Ukraine. That’s my top six.
North Macedonia literally set the stage on fire
A yeah a yeah a yeah …..
Fire.
Spain, France, North Macedonia, Armenia and Serbia are my 5 favourites.
I got the same 4 favourites and in the same order 🙂 Instead of Serbia, my 5th is Ukraine.
Armenia. Fantastic girl, song and staging.
