The revamp is an epic fail, musically, imo. At the beginning, I thought that it would be an upgrade but it feels even more dated now? - I just think it's the harmonies/melody in the chorus. It somehow made sense with the very camp and trashy arrangement but now since the song has been deprived...

It seems that the "glorious comeback of the Maltese language to the contest" has been cancelled. :(

The Finnish delegation denies the rumours/what Erika brought up: https://eurovoix.com/2025/03/13/yle-refutes-claims-that-staging-has-been-changed/

I think it's very feminine or at least, a bit flamboyant to sing about being "famous for my beauty" and being so "captivating", etc. The first verse sounds like it's written for a female artist or RuPaul's Drag Race. Please fill us in which Greek mythology they are referring to. I couldn't...

The first verse was clearly written for a female performer. It's just a horrible match, imo. Theo's voice sounds really flat, the lyrics don't fit him and are embarrassing at parts. I don't know Theo's style but it really feels non-authentic.

I read that the EBU asked Erika to alter/change her outfit for Eurovision which isn't the same as the one she was wearing in UMK. Maybe it's just a tiny change like Germany 2009? The EBU made Dita wear a tiny bra. It wasn't something to feel angry about/get mad at. Also, the EBU might be more...

No offense to our lovely Spanish forums members but dunno, haven't Spanish Eurofans been saying that Spain would be finishing Top 5 minimum for two decades now? How on earth can Esa Diva - an utterly dated and very Eurovision-esque Schlagerish G:son song - come close to remotely sound like a...

Top 5 material? Did they change the whole song?!

Are there any changes in the arrangement? ESCkompakt wrote that we will be hearing a revamp when the music video dropped but dunno, I can't hear any differences to the MGP version? Personally, I think it was nice to get some visuals whilst not having to listen to the "stage sound effects/pyro"...

I somehow forgot that the direct finalists have to be performed (and are sandwiched between competing entries). Here's my "running order" prediction for semi 1 01 :is: Iceland 02 :sl: Slovenia 03 :ua: Ukraine 04 :pl: Poland * :it: Italy 05 :ee: Estonia 06 :pt: Portugal 07 :se: Sweden 08 :az...

:2: and I really think I'm generous here. It's a weak and very, very, very underwhelming entry with no substance, imo. Unflattering and weak vocals, stupid to embarrassing lyrics (known for his beauty? Don't say his name? Is he Rumpelstilzchen in pretty?!), dated arrangement... totally...

Another :12: - Finally, the amazing entries came in saving this year for me (:se: :il: :ch: :cz: :at:). It's gentle, her voice is almost fragile but it's also hauntingly beautiful. It's a wonderful track. Something I would like to listen to on a daily basis as well.
