I'm happy about ŠČezhia's Q because the bubble butchered that girls' vocals so many time whereas they play completely deaf about some's obvious vocal disasters.

We drew 2nd half!

Also Croatia'a performance is the most watched ESC Youtube video from Semi 1.

Dear God I must be living in parallel universe.

I genuinely like the song lol and I like the tone of the lead singer's voice.
The performance is basically a lot of any and everything but it's entertaining (which seems to be hard to achieve for some countries)

It's not winning but I'm happy Europe will see this on saturday.

WE FINALLY DID IT

Yes, this is taking off on YouTube! So happy for them, there's no way juries will award them with points, but maybe Europe has a different view on the matter ;-) They seem to hit the nail on the head with how a lot of us feel about the current political landscape in certain countries. So desperately needed, glad I voted. My new number 1 ♥

Really happy for them. Top4 performance for me tonight. I think I like their nf performance a little bit more and also here they sound a little bit worse, but damn - this was never about vocals or song, this performance was always about lyrics and visuals and meaning behind them and I'm happy that by the looks of things at youtube views world connected with them pretty good. With 2nd half draw I think they're in Hatari-esque situation result-wise in the final. Let's go Mama SC

 

[lacrymea]

Congrats! Not that I ever doubted, but I'm very happy too see these guys in the final

 

[Brutalero]

Love second half draw for us. Love it.

 

[hijirio]

I have always said this will either finish in top 3 or bottom 3, it seems the former scenario happened yesterday.

I'm happy that Croatia qualified after such a long time, and they will probably get their best result in ages.

On the other hand, I find it a very distasteful boomer humor with zero musicality. I can see my 60-yo Western European sugar daddy posting on Facebook memes of naked old men in make up after ranting about degenerated Gen-Z kids spending too much time on TikTok these days.
It's really strange that people actually found this funny and picked up their phone to vote for them, but well, I've already completely lost my hope in Europe long ago.

To wrap up with a positive note, again, I'm really happy for Croatia

Assessment ORF.at:
Probably the weirdest gig of the year will be repeated on Saturday: The Croatian band Let 3 marched in dressed in uniforms, had rockets launched and ended up standing on stage in fine ribs and underpants. The band, performing in the tradition of rock cabaret a la Drahdiwaberl (legendary Austrian Band), also delivered the most decidedly political message of the evening: "Little Psychopath" is mentioned in this anti-war song.

 

[AlekS]

Apparently, some of them tore/took their underwear off at the rehearsal

 

[Rocket man]

I love this so much, absolutely hilarious to watch and yet at the same time they're sending a serious message and a big f^ck you to we-all-know-who. Fantastic!

 

[lacrymea]

Apart from the serious message mashed with the hilariousness of it all, I also find the guys totally endearing. After reading that they thought they didn't belong or that people wouldn't get them, the love shown yesterday really makes me smile

 

[MAD20]

You can love it or hate it, but the performance was iconic. Watched the show with my family and they kept staring at the TV the whole 3 minutes of the performance singing 'Mama kupila traktora SC! towards the end (of course without any Croatian language knowledge). A locked and deserved qualifier before the announcement according to them. I did not want it to qualify yesterday tbh, but I think this quirkiness is necessary sometimes, so I'm glad they made it through.

Despite the fact that the majority of my friends gave this song a fat zero points, I think its not THAAAAT bad its just... bad. I got the idea behind this so-called masterpiece and I get why its so controversial, but imo eurovision should be out of politics and this one references too much of ongoing drama

I'm sooooo surprised that Russian people don't like it.

 

[Kant1]

Now that the comparison has been made by a French commentator, I can't stop comparing Let 3's singer with Philippe Martinez, a French syndicalist the act seems even funnier to me now

 

[A-lister]

I wasn't surprised by the qualification, but the entry is still a hot mess nonetheless and barely listenable lol

I like their message, but unfortunately it all becomes way too domestic satirical for an outsider to fully get and really comes across more as a joke act. This was the only one out of the qualifiers I didn't think deserved to qualify, on the other hand I wasn't a big fan of any of the other NQ-iers either so I am generally indifferent to its qualification although with stage show added, Malta would have been a more deserving qualifier imho.
