Funny tho, you can't get a bigger contrast between Austria and Portugal in this semi.

I‘m always in love with special songs not certain genres

 

[mauve]

Yeah and also

Following 10 national finals at the same time >>>> anything else in life

At my dinosaur age, I can't do this. Getting a heart attack is not impossible.

 

[Zeus]

As reported from wiwi, there were a lot of technical problems with performance in today's family show (camera wise).

Hope they sort it out by tonight.

Nooo

 

[nudiecrudi]

I’m not rooting for anyone cause I didn’t listen to songs yet.

Me: Noooooooo.
Trump : You are fired

 

[gingerale]

I just slept 1 hour so I can stay up longer tonight.

You're still young lil mauve and full of life

After watching the full leaked jury show (please don't ask me where, but it's out there), all I can say is: the camera work is really terrible and sometimes totally random (like WTF?!), and much worse than the amazing 2021 production. Portugal, Denmark and Lithuania are some of the most affected entries, but overall you don't feel attached to the performances at all, no matter how much you may like the song.

I watched Lithuanias last night and the camerwork was just terrible in places im trying to make peace with myself that its very unlikely Monika is qualifying tonight

Unfortunately I believe you're right. The song doesn't work like it should, even though she performs it well.

She sounded fantastic and there were several excellent shots but the wide shots and the bad led screen behind her just looks rough

i've found it on the first try

(also, please don't ask me where)

 

[mauve]

The songs I care most for tonight are from Lithuania, Ukraine, Netherlands, Austria and Slovenia. Ukraine and Netherlands will probably make it, but the other three probably won't. I can only hope for a miracle because I don't want to loose all my faves.

Semi Final 1 family show gives me PTSD because I was meant to be at the 2020 SF1 family show & then they cancelled my tickets for 2021 as there was no standing

 

[GermanBango]

Honestly … the only country I am rooting for tonight with all of my heart is
Imma rip Europe a second a-hole if MARO doesn’t qualify.

 

[mauve]

2020:

NQ: Bulgaria, Lithuania, Switzerland, Iceland, Russia, Romania, Malta, Azerbaijan, Norway, Sweden, Georgia, Denmark, Australia, Belgium, Israel, Greece, Poland, Ireland, Armenia, Serbia

That were the most shocking NQ indeed.

 

[popavapeur]

I'll be voting for Portugal and Iceland tonight. There are a lot of songs that I want to vote for tbh but I fear those two are in danger

 

[mauve]

One of my most favorite entry of ESC ever!
