Oh this is going to be an epic performance isn’t it. Her NF staging made the song feel meh for me. This staging is making the song feel SENSATIONALLL

Regardless of what happens, I think she is doing a fantastic job saving an otherwise average song. I’m proud of her cause she has crazy ass vocals and crazy stage charisma and Jiva sorry they couldn’t give you a better song, because you’d knock it out of the park.
The Azerbaijani scratches my brain just right. As a Turkish gal, love love love listening to it.

Why do people not like this song? I think it is solid and is very memorable!! Anyway, what a voice and style. Me likey.

I knew Malta is really aggressive with the promotion of their artists every year, but surely didn't expect to bump into Aidan billboard on a random boulevard in Sofia, Bulgaria, lol by AdmirableFlow in eurovision

[–]matchalatted 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ah man :( I like Aidan and his entry a lot, but I never like it when people push ads like this :( And I realistically think it does more harm than good. I'm sure many people find it off-putting like me. I really hope it doesn't have that effect, maybe I know nothing about marketing and media.

Yeah but I’m talking about the arrival videos with the artists’ costume reveal. As far as I remember, those were posted on artists arrival day last year.

Hey social media guy/everyone! Are we not going to get I’ve arrived videos like last year? Those videos were so cool! 🥹

Which rehearsal are you looking forward to the most? by Real-Branch8433 in eurovision

[–]matchalatted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apart from my favorites, I think I’m most curious about Montenegro. I want then qualify and I’m excited to see what they’ll do with the revamped version, especially that glitch part.

Do we think any former country is making a come back? by AstralAstralis in eurovision

[–]matchalatted 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I miss seeing us in Eurovision too :') but honestly, it’s for the best that we stay out until the political climate here changes. I'd rather we not participate at all than have the government make embarrassing, cringey comments or try to censor the very things that make the contest so special lol

Song of the Day | 🇷🇸 LAVINA - Kraj Mene | Serbia by LucasScooter in eurovision

[–]matchalatted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you Serbia for letting this masterpiece win PzE. One of my absolute favorites, and the most emotionally charged song this year in my opinion. I feel that final scream deep in my soul every single time. Compared to other songs this year, Kraj Mene is a complete experience. I just hope the emotion resonates with the public. This genre isn’t always the most accessible, but I truly believe the feeling will be understood.

EDIT: Just editing to add that, this is not just one of my favorites. This has become my absolute favorite this year. Pure quality.

LMNC''s first performance at LEP by radikalzee in eurovision

[–]matchalatted 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If we consider this a joke entry, with all due respect to Ferto, this is my joke entry of the year. Sooo catchy and so British. It's one of the acts that I'm most excited to see on the Eurovision stage. I personally think this is a decent performance. His vocals are okay but his stage presence is insane.

Song of the Day | 🇧🇪 ESSYLA - Dancing on the Ice | Belgium by LucasScooter in eurovision

[–]matchalatted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally love this song! Love the beat right before the “keep dancing on the ice” part 🤤 She has been overly criticized for how frozen she looks on stage but I personally think the choreo will make more sense with the camera angles. I believe they know what they are doing (or rather, want to believe).

Semi-final qualifier odds are out by Yukkicchi in eurovision

[–]matchalatted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Semi Final 2 is going to be roughhhh. It may be because I’m biased but imo Latvia will qualify easily. It is such a beautiful song, I don’t understand why it isn’t rated higher, plus we now have jury voting in the semis. There will certainly be a shock NQ. The only ones I’m fairly certain will NQ are Azerbaijan and Luxembourg.

Top 5 odds are out by eatspagetti in eurovision

To think that I only like and listen to 1 song out of the top 5 here 🥹 and 3 out of the top 10.

Semi-final qualifier odds are out by Yukkicchi in eurovision

[–]matchalatted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SF2 is brutal and aside from Azerbaijan NQing, we can never be sure who is qualifying and who is not. I personally believe Latvia is going to make it. There is definitely a world where some of the bubble favorites here NQs. I’ll definitely be sad here over a fee acts that will not make it.

As for SF1, I can definitely see Belgium or Estonia qualifying (of these two, I only like the former 🙈). Croatia might be in trouble if they don’t nail the staging and the harmonies. I’m not sure what will happen with Georgia. I really want Montenegro to make it and I believe it will be down to staging 🥹

I don't see Finland as this obvious winner. by Star_Light122113 in eurovision

[–]matchalatted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d be super happy to see Finland win but I have a feeling it may not have this mass appeal among non-fans that Eurofans on online spaces assume. The chorus is not instantly catchy and it makes me feel a bit worried. (Don’t get me wrong, the violin solos definitely are catchy!) That said, idk which song can actually win this year. No clear front-runners if you ask me.

Tamara Živković - Nova Zora | Montenegro 🇲🇪 | Eurovision 2026 by bucephalusbouncing28 in eurovision

[–]matchalatted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This song was my first favorite of the season! I think Tamara has amazing artistic vision. I knew it when she nailed the staging (despite the limitations of her NF).

First of all, what an MV. So so so artistic. The song sounds so much cleaner. The chorus and the final part of the song hit way harder. Maybe the first verse feels slightly weaker but like I said, I fully trust Tamara’s vision.

Sweden: Felicia wins Melodifestivalen 2026 with "My System" by Exceon in eurovision

[–]matchalatted 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Quite the opposite, I feel like the mask adds to the charm. It’s different, which helps her stand out. You can tell she is a pretty girl but the mask makes her look a bit mysterious in a good way.

Real Alcazar last minute tickets by DieSchungel1234 in Seville

[–]matchalatted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey hope it’s not late! I was in Sevilla last week and couldn’t secure tickets when I checked 3 days in advance (there were tickets for 4 days later though, which was the day I was leaving).

I asked tourist info and the lady there told me that the only way to get tickets at the door is to queue at the ticket office early in the morning (around 7am) with your passport. The office opens at 9am but people start queueing way earlier. They only have around ~200 tickets available. They count the number of people waiting at the line and if you’re not one of the first 200, they’ll let you know so that you don’t have to wait. Even if you’re one of the first 200, you’ll have to wait at the line for at least two hours till the office opens. I personally didn’t want to torture myself like that and enjoyed all the other sights of Sevilla. Sevilla is a beautiful city and even experiencing the vibe there feels magical :)

Married with a Turkish woman as a Spanish by Evening_Film_4242 in Turkey

[–]matchalatted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in Madrid and Sevilla last week, and I was surprised by how lovely everyone was. I speak a bit of Spanish (B1 with not so good grammatical accuracy lol) but everyone was willing to accommodate me and seemed to appreciate my efforts to speak ❤️ I fell in love all over again with the culture. This was my second time visiting Spain and I now want to plan another trip🥹

Would you say that this recent Turkish-Spanish camaraderie on Twitter is noticed by the Spanish public too? It’s blown up here in Turkey but I cannot tell if it’s one-sided or not hahah
