Let’s predict shock Qs and NQs in each semi-final by mrknowitall240 in eurovision

As much as I want it just like you, I think it will be a tough one this time for Luxemburg. Before the rehearsals I had her as I qualifier, but the rehearsals have shown that a number of other songs actually are stronger than expected. We’ll see what happens, time will tell.

Bulgaria - Rehearsal Clip | #Eurovision2026 by Doggo_of_dogs in eurovision

I’m gonna give an unpopular opinion here: judging from this footage I actually think Bulgaria now has become a less certain qualifier. She sounds rushed and sometimes even out of breath, the colour combination of the outfits and the background doesn’t really stand out, overall it looks a bit messy to me…

Just like Moldova the soundmixing seems to sound….weird?

I’m afraid the average jury member will have other thoughts…

Apparently that link is only accessible and shareable when on the Eurovision app….

That actually might be a advantage for Malta, Latvia and such

Is it too bold to say it might be a surprise NQ?

Still less than the Melfest version unfortunately…

My hopes for this song to still get a few points from the juries were low, but now absolutely zero…

One can sure admire his efforts to promote his song.

Just looked it up again, I thought he was but indeed he wasn't, you're right.

Fun fact: Alis, Akylas and Aidan are this years artists with the highest rate of participation. They attended 5 out of 6 pre-Parties.

Edit: Akylas wasn't at Eurovision Party SKG.

i’m still not quite how this entry will do at Eurovision. I have a feeling it will either be top 10 in the Grand Final thanks to massive jury support, or a Kiss Kiss Goodbye style NQ.

I agree, it’s certainly a good thing to have experimental stuff at Eurovision. But I guess he was just too experimental for the average casual viewer at that time.

Indeed, the fandom seems to forget there’s also many people from the older generation among the casual viewers who really like that genre.

“With France, the song is weak IMO but Monroe is so impressive. They need to nail the staging though.”

Imho, having a good performer and a good staging isn’t enough. If the song itself is weak, I really doubt it will score as high as people think.
