What a faceless entry from Germany

 

[Biste]

I think Germany can surprise on Saturday. I can see this attract quite some jury votes tbh.

 

[Citelis]

Germany is surely not the last place of the year.

 

[Chrisiam]

Germany this year decided to send someone who was a combination of the UK's 2019 and 2022 entrants. But The best vocalist out of the three auto-qualifiers tonight for sure.

Isaak is one of the best vocalists of the year.
SEBI in the postcard

 

[ayzelto]

What a great voice the German guy. Top 10 in the juries for sure.

 

[Malagant]

So you support Iceland as it feels back in 80ss and ?

I mentioned 2 quality-entries from Croatia in ESC that I think are miles better than what they sent this year (and last year for that matter). They happened to be from the late 90s. That is my music taste. That you have an other music taste is fine.

 

[martin]

I really like Germany and hope he get some points on saturday

 

[Stargazer]

what a strange show production this year. i can't digest these random movie references and lazy country postcards..
i think sweden are getting bored of hosting..

This is also the first time we're hosting without Christer Björkman being involved. As much as I didn't like his tight hold of Melodifestivalen and Sweden's participation in Eurovision, he arguably did some things right.

HUUU those slovenian eys

 

[Geborgenheit]

I love the studio version of Slovenija. Go

 

[Andrin]

The beginning of Raiven's song gives Zombies' vibes

 

[Jay25]

The contestants are allowed to perform almost naked, but Isaak is not allowed to sing "shit"?

 

[Malagant]

Slovenia is so often underrated in ESC and often struggle to get to the final. I like this entry and performance and hope it makes the final.

 

[gigi_copp3]

Love Raiven but I feel her performance is too "vanilla", I don't know how to explain better.
There's room for only a witch in the final, I fear

 

[mauve]

Such a great song from Raiven!

 

[cassio]

oh the slovenian dancers didnt have time for getting thir close on before their profomance

 

[hawadharma]

Slovenia song has no focus. I don't know which part of the song to focus on.. it's so messy..

 

[jatojo]

No other performer this year will look as much like an elf as she does.

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

Germany is good. It would not be that succesful in ESC, but Isaak can be proud of himself.
