See you all in Croatia

That could be the best part, ya... You convince me, that is a great reason to vote on them, so that next year we will be all together in Dubrovnik

Slimane, my baby, I hope your voice is okay… I just hope! Whatever happens, I love you so much so I’m gonna support you no matter what!

 

[cassio]

that is you singing!

Song 24: Georgia: A lively, catchy song. Being as this is called "Firefighter", it's hardly surprising this contains plenty of simulated flames on the background screen, and rising flame effects around the stage edge. I think you need to read background information about this to realise what this is about though, and fully appreciate it.

 

[Shadowfuxcs]

Georgia will be top 5 with televote.

 

[hawadharma]

France is my fav song during the preselection sason but I hate the staging in the semifinals

 

[jatojo]

The best thing to say about Georgia's entry is that she's a decent singer (not great, but she has some vocal power), and that it's good to see Georgia in the final. They should work on the lyrics though - last year it was awful too.

 

[Loindici]

I woke up and went to Ireland. There's a lot of pain in their voice.

 

[Chrisiam]

Come on France, stick the landing!

 

[jatojo]

This is where we all remember how great Iru was last year with the great song Echo.

Definitely more charismatic.

 

[cassio]

Voted 5x France

 

[jatojo]

Okay, so maybe Slimane struggles a bit more tonight than the other day, but nothing critical.

 

[hawadharma]

they should've added more percussion at the transition between his singing acapella and music intro

 

[Etanna]

honestly more recognition should be given to the cameraman who is on stage and has to do all these choreographies while filming

I saw somebody a video from the arena and Slimane's vocal moment looks so much more impressive from there than on TV

 

[ramiroqai]

This is like going through the green mile, poor french guy, OMG

 

[ollibox]

One thing IS a fact this year - France singing his HEART out!

 

[soulm8]

My absolute favorite!

 

[hawadharma]

OMG was that it? Good luck countries!!

wouldn't mind a , or win
