I like the rehearsal? Sad the eagle gimmick didn't work, but we'll see whether she can smoothen it in the second run.
Still hoping she quals.

It indeed looks a bit empty. I'd have rathered some drums on stage, cuz at Eurovision drums are never a bad idea. And what about a big eagle on the backdrop? I feel like they didn't make enough use of the LEDs. It looks like 2018's stage a bit.

I didn't have time for Eurovision in the last few months and haven't listened to any of the songs yet but I will put some time and effort into completing a ranking this week. I hope I didn't miss too much drama.
Okay, first Albania: Nice song, 7 points from me.

Still don't really get what's so bad about it. It's empty-looking but it doesn't look uncomfortable for it like, say, Armenia.
i wish she had a better staging 
You don't need crash boom bang to slay in Eurovision. And in a year where 90% of the countries went rampage with special effects --> this will have better chances to qualify and The Netherlands will have better chances to win. Just cause they're 'unlike the others'.
Not watching her rehearsals in particular, but from all the comments - oh she's smart

She's a diva, but I also like her as a person, I am watching all her interviews and I can see how she gains confidence also with English and everything else.. The press results are laughable tbh I think she is qualifying, no need to do crazy staging, her beauty is the weapon

Keep in mind Finland back in 2017. Slayed in press poll, got raped in actual contest

Or Armenia 2017. Winning press poll on day 2 and then getting only 21 televoting points in the final.
Or Austria 2017. Winning press poll on day 3 and then getting 0 televoting points in the final.
Or Israel 2016. Winning press poll on day 3 (over Dami Im) and then getting 20 televoting points in the semi(!).
And this list goes on..
Another song with dramatic vocals... but I suppose I like this one a tad bit more than the others? I do like the little etno vibe it has, even if it's very minimal. The chorus has quite a decent and interesting note/chord progression at least, so there's that. Still only a mid pointer, though.

Well, tomorrow is the day I have been waiting for 2 months... I'm ready to be disappointed tomorrow!!
Tbh I feel this will get lost in the middle of good songs the 2nd half of the 2nd semifinal has... But i wish her the best of luck, happy they improved the staging!

Atm I feel I'm ready to the worst but I'm sure I will be devastated and heartbroken if I see her out of the final...
+ If she doesn't qualify It will be the first time my personal favourite isn't in the Grand Final since I follow attentively the contest...

Im a bit chocked to see the odds for ALBANIA..... there are really many bedders who don't thing Albania will qualify (could be, that Denmark qualify instead)
