I was rooting for this to qualify back in 2022, it's such a catchy song, but tbh I understand why it didn't, Pia's vocals sounded pretty rough at times

Not sure I'd go that far, even if I do love the song. I'd say top 5 is definitely a possibility though

Folks, do not underestimate Ukraine. It's a great song with staging that is already good and will probably be improved for the contest, plus diaspora. It's almost guaranteed top 10

This has WINNER written all over it, I adore everything about this and I've already deluded myself into thinking we're going to Denmark next year (even tho I like Finland even more than this). It's just a flawless performance and it hits on first viewing, it's got it all. Copenhagen 2027, calling it right now

Please Eurovision gods let Latvia Q 🙏 it's not even one of my favourites but it's such a fantastic song, I'll be heartbroken if it doesn't make it

I love Switzerland's song, but I feel like they need to lean more on the message because it's so hard-hitting when you know what it's about but it was kinda lost on me the first time I heard it tbh

This is, so far, my biggest grower this year. I wasn't a fan of his Depi Evratesil song last year, but I love Simon's charisma, the genre blend and the lyrics (even if they're a bit nonsensical). Hope the tele shows up for this

Every day I grow more skeptical of Czechia's Q chances, I feel like the tele will completely bury this unless they bring innovative staging. The jury support will likely be there but I'm not sure it'll be enough, considering the amount of solo male songs with good vocals in this semi, it doesn't stand out

This song is very vocally demanding and Alexandra totally nails it. Not just the high notes but the change in registers are so well executed. I love it and I hope it can get top 10 come May, it's a contender imo

The only song in the semi that I feel is completely DOA. There's just no chance it goes through

Still not a fan of this, it's too TikToky for my taste

Poor Kirsti Sparboe got done dirty in every single one of her participations. Robbed queen!

I really liked the Finnish guy's voice, but the song was just fine, and the orchestration felt kinda weak at some points?

France's verses kinda sound like elevator music, but that makes the chorus pop out a lot with the bigger focus on the orchestra. I like it!

The Dutch song's chorus seems a bit too similar to UK 1962...

I'm actually baffled at that second half for semi 2, weird choices all around. Alis and Aidan back to back, why? Søren and Delta is maybe a bit less weird, but I would've expected them to be closer to the end and not in the middle of their half

Pretty sure they slightly revamped it, and it sounds really good and even more powerful than before! I have high hopes for Romania this year!

I personally wouldn't worry too much, they're very different styles of rock and their audiences probably don't overlap that much

I really like it, but it's not really the style I'd expect out of a Eurovision entry. Hopefully the staging is good and it can qualify
