Thanks a lot for Teya Dora and Ramonda 🇷🇸💜🙏👏
Love from serbiaaaa💜💜💜💜💜👑🇷🇸
Croatia and Serbia! Hugs from Serbia 🔥❤️
Yesss
Greetings from Serbia. ❤
Finally someone who understands Serbia, such an amasing aong
I totally agreed with everything you've said about Serbia 🇷🇸. Superb performance 5/5. Love the emotion, the stage, rock, and her facial expression. Best song overall for me. Ireland 🇮🇪 was very effective, too; and loved Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Slovenia 🇸🇮 . Hope all these countries do well in Grand Final. Good luck.
PS: Great Review!!!
For Cyprus there wasn’t a backing track per say… there was actually a live backing singer/coach who was singing along with her, blending in with her voice as she sang - this was confirmed by the delegation
I was surprised how good Silia was singing. Her vocals were amazing
So pretty much the same thing lol...
Who? Are you sure? Because last year it was all playback
Raiven is an opera singer, so I mean she was always gonna sing perfectly. Also how are people still calling Croatia's lyrics bad? They have a meaning
*Lyrics sound like a 13yo wrote them*
I’m so tired of yall saying something having meaning makes something good. If I shit on a canvas and say it has sentimental value that doesn’t make it good art.
He’s every good but he won’t win
@@Peppers_Meatloaf perfectly said lmao
@@Peppers_Meatloaf And *I* am so tired of people like you trying to gatekeep what makes art "good". As long as it makes people feel something, it's doing it's job. So yes, if the meaning resonates with people, then that DOES make it good art. That's the whole point of art lol.
Agreed with Ireland!! Their staging was so creative!! (and the top looks nice)
Crown this incredible Artist! C-Mon Bambie 🎨 👏 ☘️ 🇮🇪 ✨️ 🧙♀️ 🎨❤🖤☘️👑
I just want to say about your comments on Finland, I respect your opinion but I think you were a bit harsh. That's just my opinion. And to correct one misunderstanding, the problem with getting the shorts on wasn't that he couldn't get his 'parts' in but the button of the shorts was closed and it shouldn't have been. I'm from Finland and I think it's quite fun but you are of course free to disagree
Top three in the polls right now are Switzerland, Croatia, and Ukraine. Switzerland is, one a purely personal level, not my thing. I can definitely get into Croatia but to me it sounds a bit like Rammstein with a different vocalist. Still really good. My favorite of the three is Ukraine. Beautiful song, great vocals, and such an emotional performance.
I love ukraine but not the rap part :/
I disagree with many of them. I understand that you want to use the whole scale and 1/5 doesn't necessarily mean your ears were bleeding. But I think Polands and UKs vocals were worse that any other. You rate them a 3 and 4 but rate Lithuania, Australia and Cyprus a 1?
She just dislikes Cyprus, Lithuania and Australia no matter how good they perform😕
I mean its 1/5 cause the songs are not vocaly neede, its songs that dont need strong gocalist to be preformed like Serbia
Poland and UK were indeed by far the worst vocals of the night. I was also disappointed by Azerbaijan.
UK’s mic pack fell off which negatively affected his voice and made it quiet
U.K. was absolutely dreadful
Serbia, Slovenia and Ukraine were leagues above the rest imo.
Ireland is a really cool entry and the performance was sensational, but I am not a fan of the song itself.
Love your channel, been watching for the past couple of years! Hope we all have a nice and chill time watching the rest of Eurovision!
Lithuania -catchy song, perfect vocal!!!💛💚❤
Bambie Thug completely blew me away. She’s now competing with Raiven for my personal nr 1 spot 🥇 Cyprus was better live than I originally thought they would be, and Ukraine and Serbia were great (as aspected). Also, I don’t mind no costume changes. It’s more sustainable with one outfit than changing it multiple times in a few hours
Bambie is actually going by They / Them ! ^^
Bambie uses they/them
Absolutely my thoughts wow
Ahhh LinnieCat you have amazing taste🤩 crown the witches
Bambie Thug absolutely floored me, what an incredible performance!!!
11/10 performance! And it comes from a person that didn't like the song.
Portugal is a masterpiece. The staging… the melody… the voice. Kisses from your fan from China. 😘
You were supper right about everything Georgina, much love from Serbia. 💜 I am so glad Ramonda qualified, I was a bit afraid that her softer, less flashy song would just get lost in the shuffle and the spectacle, especially since she was the unlucky 2nd performance in the semi final line-up that night. Pretty glad Slovenia, Ukraine and Croatia qualified, I liked all of them. Portugal and Luxemburg were top notch as well.
I also totally agree about Finland, I dont generaly mind gimicky performances, but this one just did not land imo.
I love croatia. He has soo much good energy.
Nice to see Ireland through to the final! Best of the night
Hi, love your comments on the recap! I agree on the most you said. Looking forward for tomorrow's show.
Serbia 💜💜💜
I love that you have changed your opinion of Bambie. They are an amazing artist and we are so proud of her in Ireland. You should listen to some of her own music.
Your shirt looks amazing on you and with that background!
Why so suprised about Croatia? Last year we had a very smart war song with lot of hidden meanings and good vocals from senior croatian band and it was one of the best Croatia has send to the eurovision, but it needed a little bit of investigating. This year we are so proud as well!
A very smart anti-war song.
Last year?? That song was horrifying lol. Anyway, this year you have a really fun song and it's definitely the best energizer in the whole competition. I'll be happy if you win, it might be Croatia's best one yet.
Yes! Croatia was in my top2 last year (together with Italy); it was such a clever song! And, it's in my top 2 again this year (together with Switzerland, although I like Croatia a bit more). I hope you do get it this time around!
Thank you, keep cheering!
👑Crown the Witch👑
Thank you for your videos, Georgina. :)
That 1/5 for the Cyprus girl is mad - she’s only 17 😭😭😭
Yeah, she danced and still managed to sing better than Johnny Logan who was just standing there and managed to bottle the big note. Yeah, yeah, he is a legend and is 69, but if you're not able to give your best as a singer, stop singing in public. Simple. I was quite sad, because he is a legend and I expected that he will casually slay his performance. Maybe he bottled it on purpose because he had to sing Euphoria, instead one of his songs. 🤦♂️
It's absolutely absurd, not because she is 17, but because she slayed the song, while also dancing during the whole performance like.. Classic jealous British lady..
There's better 17 year old singers
So what? Michael Jackson was 14 and singing perfectly.
Girl voice doesnt develop after 16 so thats her end vocally
You mentioned a slip when talking about Ukraine. Alyona Alyona did not slip on the night of the Semi-final, but she did slip in the rehearsal the day before. If you watch that clip, you can see she is slightly late for her rap section, but in the Semi-final she was perfectly amazing and thank god, ok!
I think she mixed them up tbh. I think she meant Jerry Heil's vocals, too
Yep, Ireland was my fav too!
Until Johnny Logan sung 'Euphoria', I actually did not know what alot of the lyrics were. "An everlasting piece of art", how nice
And why didn't you know? Let's not pretend Loreen is that bad at enunciation
I noticed that too for the first time.
Yeah I'm the same. Beautiful songwriting
I thought he did great
@lb2419 I have seen live performances and listen to the studio version alot. I think it is a mix of the music/beat and bad enunciation.
Serbia and Slovenia have best songs.
Thanks from Ireland but it's Bambi is they thanks love your videos x
Bambie, Raiven, Gåte and Jerry Heil & Alyona are definitely my top 4
Crown the witch 🧙♀️
Bambie was AMAZING, this witch know what they are doing. #crownthewitch
Thank you for your reviews and analysis. Great job!
I am sharing my OWN, PERSONAL reviews being respectful of other's reviews and preferences.
1. Cyprus : Silia Kapsis, Liar.- The only act that I got wrong. I had it as an NQ. Surprised when it was anounced as Q. Benefited from Greece not performing. In my opinion.- If Austria: Kaleen, We Will Rave and/or Georgia: Nutsa Buzaladze, Firefighter qualify for the Grand Final, Cyprus will not have a chance.
2. Serbia : Teya Dora, Ramonda.- Beautiful song. Great performance.
3. Lithuania : Silvester Belt, Luktelk.- Solid performance with thundering backing track.
4. Ireland : Bambie Thug, Doomsday Blue.- Vocals were excellent. Dramatic and impactful staging and performance.
5. Ukraine : Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil, Teresa & Maria.- Excellent vocals overall. Epic performance with outstanding and memorable staging.
6. Poland : Luna, The Tower.- Bad vocals. A hot mess. Vocals were off. Twice she laid down on the floor of the stage to be on top of the horse projected on the LEDs on the floor of the stage. Too much going on the stage and disjointed with overpowering backing track taking over the lead. I think the mix was bad. Also, the meaning of the song lost.
7. Croatia : Baby Lasagna, Rim Tim Tagi Dim.- High energy and engaging. Vocals have improved. We might see a repeat of last years voting where juries selected Sweden with Loreen performing Tattoo; and televote selected Finland with Käärijä performing Cha Cha Cha.
8. Iceland : Hera Björk, Scared of Heights.- Outdated and boring with minor vocal issue. I did like the backup singers on the stage.
9. Slovenia : Raiven, Veronika.- Simple staging with impressive operatic vocal performance.
10. Finland : Windows95man, No Rules!.- Clearly, a televote pick. Vocals were off on some parts. We will see what the juries think.
11. Moldova : Natalia Barbu, In the Middle.- Beautiful song and good vocal performance but too static and boring when compared with other songs.
12. Azerbaijan : Fahree feat. Ilkin Dovlatov, Özünlə apar.- Bland, none exciting or stimulating performance with static staging.
13. Australia : Electric Fields, One Milkali (One Blood).- HORRENDOUS and atrocious vocal performance! Uninspiring staging. I got the impression she gave up the first time she realized she missed a note. It went downhill from there.
14. Portugal : Iolanda, Grito.- I was not completely convinced that it would qualify as it was a televote only selection. The vocal performance was impressive.
15. Luxembourg : Tali, Fighter.- Good, solid performance overall.
Q1. United Kingdom: Olly Alexander, Dizzy.- Vocals were off. I am not sure if the cause was the body pack transmitter/receiver falling off. Out of control performance with too much energy and adrenaline taking over the vocals. It is going to be tougher to go against Sweeden if he struggles again with the vocals at the Grand Final. Let's just hope it will not be a repeat of Mae Muller vocal performance at Eurovision 2023.
Q2. Germany: Isaak, Always On The Run.- Better than I expected but I do not think that it will end in the Top 10.
Q3. Sweden: Marcus & Martinus; Unforgettable.- Good overall performance. For me, staging is a bit over the top with too much happening but it is what a pop song requires.
The World is full of singers but only a few can sing lead live. Studio gadgets and trickery will never replace vocal ability, craft and technique. It might be fine to enhance and embellish the melody and harmonies in moderation. I also do not value or appreciate the excessive use of auto-tune and pitch correcting software which is undoubtedly used excessively in the backing track vocals and which I am sure some would like to use on live performances at Eurovision which is not permitted.
Portugal ❤❤❤❤
Silia was born in Sidney. Her father is a singer from Cyprus named Giorgos Kapsis and her mother is a greek lawyer Despoina Saivanidi.
Great to hear the support for Ireland, we know you weren’t a huge fan to begin with
Electric Fields is usually great vocally. Idk what happened this year. I watched the Malmoha video and it was worse. Something had to had happened to his voice because he is a great vocalist
Silia was born in Australia, her father is from Greece and her mother is from Cyprus😃
Totally agree - Bambie stole the show with an astonishing performance
Poland's song was a real shame. The studio version is great, with all the production on it, but it became clear that she couldn't manage it live. Unfortunately, the solution appears to have been to have the music drown out her voice to mask the cracks, but that made the entire song fall apart because the vocal melody is key to the song's hook. Such a shame! I really hoped she'd be able to surprise us yesterday.
Apparently she was recovering from laryngitis she had recently so I'm not sure if she was completely recovered. But I think she probably would have done better if she didn't move. Singing while moving is very difficult and requires a lot of work and experience that she still lacks but with a few more years she should be able to do it. Anyway, I applaud the courage to try and even sing while lying on the floor in the horse's part. Although her voice didn't shine enough, I think it was good enough considering the choreography.Definitely agree with the 3/5 you gave her Georgina ❤
Mhmmm... I think the song was generic and the lyrics were just absurd.
He is not She.
I've been following you for years and always agree with you. But this year i really can't understand what you're talking about. Silvester Belt 1/5 but Luna 3/5? I loved Luna's song but she didn't sing well. Bambi 5/5? The performance is eefective of course but her vocals weren't great. Cyprus was shaky throughout the whole song too yet 5/5? Hera Bjork has won MANY competitions because everyone praises her incredible voice and yet you've always said it's not good. Saying Olly's singing was good is the ultimate proof we must have watched different performances cause oh boy, he was completely bad from start to end. I really came for a professional opinion but I have to agree with previous comments, it's personal taste only. Which is perfect, don't get me wrong, you have every right to share your faves with the world but they don't sound accurate at all, i'm sorry :(
Germany's Isaak getting the same score for vocals as Olly? UK goggles much?. HAHAHA
One thing about Olly’s vocals, that he has admitted to, is his mic pack fell out which shook him up and threw him off for the rest of the song. Hopefully some precautions will be put in place to prevent this from happening again on friday and saturday so he can pull off a perfect performance.
Honestly, I can’t stand the u.k song. I’m a bi man so it has nothing to do with the sexual aspect of it. I just don’t like the song. However bambi and baby lasagna fucking killed it. I’m a huge metal fan so it is right up my alley. Ireland,croatia,and netherlands are my picks this year.also as an American, i wish we had an American song contest that people cared about still.
I think there is one in the pipelines
Love the dog in the background 😻
I'm glad you warmed to Ukraine's entry. This was a huge upgrade from the national final performance.
Jerry Heil hurt her left knee during the performance (I *think8 it was when she dropped to her knees at the top of the mountain slope, just before the lights went down and Alyona Alyona appears..)
She was showing pics of it later on in her Telegram, big bandage/ice pack on it, hopefully she'll be recovered by Saturday
Uk🤔🤔 sorry but yeah, I am not a vocal coach or even a singer, but it doesn't sound good. I think he was overconfident that it is not final like
I love the natural light you have now!! Makes everything more calm
Loved the recap Georgina
Completely agree about Ireland. It was absolutely EXCELLENT!! Crown the witch!! 🇮🇪
Thank you, means a lot 🇷🇸💜
I think you gave Finland points for performance and not for vowels. you praised the vocals as very good but gave 2/5..
Benjamin Ingrosso did the interval performance following Johnny Logan. He competed for Sweden with “Dance You Off” in 2018. His family, especially on his mother’s side, is entertainment royalty in Sweden.
I would not say he is entertainment royalty in Sweden and his family are also very disliked in Sweden by many. He became famous when he was in his familys reality show, before that he struggled a lot.
Both his dad and mum have been in the music industry. He is one of the Wahlgren that i can like sometimes and sometimes not. Now his grandfather passed away just a day ago so. He was an actor along side Benjamins grandmother.
❤❤❤ from Serbia🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
Thank you, Teya Dora is the best! ❤
Please, can you give me the times when Cyprus was shouting? My hearing is not as good as yours. I didn(t hear her screem, but you did. Please help me to understand.
Ooo I love your shirt!!!
Love the blouse on you. And Yas, let that light in Georgina! 💕
Great 👍
I don't know why but I got so nervous when the voting started, I typed a number in my phone ready to press call and Petra said vote open and my hand slipped and I pressed the button too soon and a voice said the line wasn't open yet, aaahhh! Wasted call. I don't even remember how many times I voted,it was just chaos. I was going to vote for Cyprus and Slovenia but forgot to and I am just so glad they made it anyway.
Ireland has to win! That was an abdlsolute masterpiece
Regarding the Ukraine entrance. Alyona Alyona is the one who rapped. Jerry Heil is the vocal performer. And Alyona Alyona did slip, but that was at one of the rehearsals.
1/5 for Lithuania when he sang perfectly 💀💀
I love your shirt today! You suit it well!
You are so sweet ❤
Fab to watch. Joyous 😊
Silia is half Cypriot, half Greek, born in Australia. Hi from 🇬🇧👋🏻👋🏻
❤ Serbija luv you
Benjamin Ingrosso (after Logan). ;). Great review. I was also wrong about Poland! Portugal thought it won't qualify.
Giving only 1/5 to Silia, 3/5 to Luna and 4/5 to Olly for their respective vocal performances is... surprising.
I’m so happy now to hear that you refer Bambie Thug as the best performance ❤ Let’s crown the witch on Saturday night 😊 Well deserved.
Yes vocal coach. Finally on board with Bambi. CROWN THE WITCH 🇮🇪💚🇮🇪💚🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Thank you from Serbia, she is really an artist, also very educated, you recognized everything. ❤
I love your shirt
I agree Olly's vocals weren't the best, but i saw somewhere that his mic- pack fell off mid performance and he was struggling trying to get it back on: I think that's why his vocals could've been better
Portugal 🇵🇹 N1 of last night! ❤❤❤ Pure musical and staging ART!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Silvester is very talented and the show is a full package, I don't where the 1/5 comes from?????? Silia also was great even tho she had la la la in here song, she is only 17!!!! she doesn't need super mature grown up women song and lyrics and I think la la la fits perfectly cuz it is a fun song...UK I don't know what is with the live perfomance, he always have some issues with mic and it is a bit annoying by now, since the studio version is great and I love it...Bambie is interesting, but now my cup of the for the genre of music, but still great visually perfomed for message they wanted to send, Luna song also, I love it but something went wrong live...Serbia was on point this year and loved it so much!! Croatia was also on the point and just because he doesn't sing pop or opera song it doesn't mean his vocals are bad, as a vocal coach you should know that each genre of music has it's own way of singing and vocal range and comparing heavy metal for example and opera singer amd saying opera singer is talented doesn't make any sense, opera singer probably cannot sing heavy metal songs and vice versa, all singers are talented in their own way...also undrrating lyrics pf croatian song is criminal, do you even know about they are talking??? it is about heavy and serious topiv not only for croatians, but for many people that have to leave their homeland and go to forgein country in a look for a better life, just because it is written in simplified form and broken down to fit the melody and rithm it doesn't make the lyrics bad, we had winning songs or high raking songs with even worse and stupider lyrics and nobody was calling them bad or silly, croatian song isn't silly or funny, it is serious one, just because it is in not popular genre and has a bit different sound, it doesn't mean it should not be taken seriously (this applies to other songs this year)...also not everyone is native english speaker of fluent in it so not always lyrics of the song can be perfect and that should be taken in consideration as well, overall half of this video just disregarded good points about the songs due some personal bs there is many great vocal coaches and I'd recommend to everyone watchimg ThePeaceAround instead who is honest and actually understands genre differences and qualities of each and judges more fair
The result is correct & staging matters
Greetings from Slovenia!
Finland: "It just didn't work. They just didn't pull it off on the night"
Well clearly it DID work and Europe had a sense of humour because this made the Finals!! Anyone still wondering why Finland is the happiest country in the world? While all other acts were just suffering and boderlining depression with their songs, Finland came out to HAVE FUN!!! And it resonated with the audience and they voted this into the final and it's such a deserved qualification!!
Croatia is having fun to. Let us prance 🎉🎉
exactly!!! it is so funny and that is what we need on Eurovision!!
Thank you. As a Finn I am also very proud of Henri's vocals (the guy singing the chorus), it's not just a joke entry although many people say so.
Silia singing was absolutely great! Her best try, for sure
22:42 His name is Benjamin Ingrosso and he represented Sweden in ESC 2018.
This cheerful shirt does suit you very well:)
Love your videos and love you! Just a hint: Ireland's performer is nonbinary. Thanks for your work!
I truly hope Ireland wins the whole contest. I was bewitched by Bambie Thug, the performance was perfection both vocally and visually. I also almost teared up with Ukraine's powerful performance, and quite enjoyed Lithuania's song, too. I'm not a fan of the kind of over-produced pop music Sweden's song is this year, but I might like an instrumental version of it. Germany's song was also maybe a little too polished. Croatia's song was catchy, but it reminded me a lot of the kind of rock music that was around in the early 2000s, and it wasn't very innovative. I love Olly Alexander's voice, but it wasn't at its best last night - but I'm hoping he gets a good performance on Saturday.
I know Finland's song (I'm from Finland) is dividing the opinions this year, but I think our boys nailed the performance. Henri's vocals were on point, and as unrefined as I might be, I was smiling after the performance. This is the kind of song and performance that makes us here in Finland tick, and we already know that instead of trying to please the entire world, it's best we stick to doing our own thing, and if we're lucky, some folks like it. If not, at least we're having fun.
❤
Ireland had me speechless it was so good! I'm happy to see her go on to the finals.
ABOUT finland, I was hoping to hear her opinion the on quality of the vocals as she did w others. Instead she went on and on how she did not like the performance. One line about vocals. 🙄 I am ok that she does not like Finland as a song/performance, but she should change the scoring from vocals to her liking/opinion of the song 😊 Also, if Olly was 5/5 vocally, I must have gone tonedeaf😅
💜💜💜
I swear Poland was paying YT for ads of their song or their cover of say Slimane. It was so frequent a week ago. The problem I found was her voice lacked punch. This was a Zara Larsson song without her. Also, Azerbaijan I couldnt help but think of Desert Rose by Sting...
I agree that Johnny Logan is still mr Eurovision. I enjoyed his performance very much. I donot mind he missed the high note. He is not 30 anymore. 😊
I was not surprised at all by the qualifiers. Ireland also for me it was the best performance. I am a metal guy and overall music enjoyer, so I like all the metal influence taken in the song. BUT before the semi final I had really mixed feelings about this. I did not like much the break in pop romance stuff. I was like, damm I really want this song to push more far on the energetic side. Even in the final of the song, I was left out because I tough the final switch to Metal stuff gonna hit hard, but it fall flat at the end.However, when Bambi did her performance live, I was kind drawn into more. And I also felt that the her staging was genuinely well made. I didn't felt too much momentum loss on here pop break like I was feeling when I first heard on her clip. And the final was really well made. She puts everything. I really felt her energy. I would have voted for her, if my country was there (Belgium). Also, I am really happy to have Slovenia in the final, well deserved. And croatia really made such a good perfomance. Here is my personal top from this semi final alone:
1)Croatia
2)Slovenia
3)Ireland
4)Lithuania
5)UK
6)Ukraine
7)Serbia
8)Portugal
9)Moldova
10)Azerbaijan
11)Luxembourg
12)finland
13)Deutschland
14)Poland
15)Cyprus
16)Australia
17)sweden
18)ICELAND
Crown the witch
No,it's a satanic ritual.
Thank you for giving 5/5 for 🇷🇸❤️❤️❤️
The shirt ate
