Same, I far far prefer it to Ronela last year. Love seeing the dad's pride in particularYeah, not my fave too but it's a respectable entry that has an undeniable charm to it. The song was very much an underdog. I'm glad it's been given a happy ending. The performance was wonderful. I'm always happy to see Albania in the final. I'll likely throw them a vote there (I meant to tonight but ran out of time as I was watching on a stream that was 2 minutes behind ).
EBU, no more "death slots" for !!! Two death slots in row are waaaaay too many!
Sasha Jean Baptiste's staging helped hugely, it is obvious that the family's confidence has improved so well done to whoever coached them (whether it was SJB herself or one of her team).This felt like a nice throwback to the 00s with all the ethnic pop-folk entries. It's refreshing to see a country sticking with that identity despite all the preasure to become more "commercial". The song is average but there was something so earnest and passionate in the live version that stood out among all the trashiness. Most pleasant surprise of the evening.
I saw it in the arena this afternoon and loved itI am THRILLED that they made it! What with Ronela’s robbery last year, ESC was definitely missing some authentic Balkan flavour and Albina and her gorgeous family bring it!!! It was so powerful in the arena too
Omg where were you sat???I saw it in the arena this afternoon and loved it
Upper tier, at the riverside entrance side - can't remember the block numberOmg where were you sat???
Oooo I was upper tier too - block 2 I think? Can’t remember! I went to the village yesterday and they had a Ukrainian market which was so heartwarming, I spoke to a lovely Ukrainian lady about what she was selling and she said it was all homemade… gorgeous!Upper tier, at the riverside entrance side - can't remember the block number
Then Baltic Market for food, great spot and atmosphere with Eurovision flags and soundtrack
