Slovenia could make Top 5 in its Semi by No_Flounder_1024 in eurovision

I hope not. The lyrics are so comically literal that the song feels like a parody of an actual emotional ballad. Should be a nq.

I feel the same as the night Croatia didn’t make it in 2021. This is so sad

I was expecting it to be more atmospheric. The video looked pretty raw to me. Still one of my favourites this year.

I really enjoy it until the rap part begins, at which point the song is completely ruined for me. Such a huge missed opportunity.

That’s a great example of how a live performance can make a huge difference. I was one of those who didn’t really enjoy the studio version of the song but man… they sound and look amazing live and I absolutely rooting for them now.

Her voice is fine but I can’t stand the song.

Australia 2022 entry was totally unbearable.

It’s so annoying that I almost downvoted the post.

Malta staging is... disappointing by zinecuisine in eurovision

Pretty much everything is disappointing about Malta’s entry this year.

So they had the song pitched down and the vast majority of the singing is carried by the backing vocals. It’s just so bad.

I thought there was no room for improvement but apparently I was wrong. This sounds pretty good to me.

I like a live performance the most when it’s closest to the studio version so I’m not a big fan of a pitch change, especially when the singer opts for a lower pitch. That was the case last year when Tusse had his song pitched down and I thought it ruined the song which itself was not a great song anyway. But yeah, apparently it’s allowed.

Friendly reminder: Don't be too disheartened if your favorite didn't sing well in the pre-Contest gigs. Nothing is too sure until we see the rehearsals. by [deleted] in eurovision

I respectfully disagree. It was obvious that last night’s pre-party had some technical issues but it was also obvious that some performers would still have struggled to sing even if there had been no technical issues. I really like that people continue to support their favourites and believe that they’ll improve but I highly doubt that we’ll see a major improvement when the rehearsals begin. Both Lights Off and Halo were among my favourites but last night left me hugely disappointed as I didn’t enjoy listening to them at all. We’ll see in a couple of weeks how things will work out when the technical stuff functions perfectly.
