I am ecstatic that Luxembourg is finally back in Eurovision after all these years and hope they stick around indefinitely. I am just sad I don't like their returning song.

If doesn't qualify I give up on this year's Eurovision, it's my winner and it's VERY well done. Deserves to qualify and anything else I won't accept

 

[jatojo]

Luxembourg should make it to the final, comfortably.

 

[Zorjan]

I absolutely love that they showed France Gall 1965, one of my all time favorite eurovision songs, in the postcard

 

[gigi_copp3]

What are those jaguars?

 

[Biste]

Those on screen effect leopards though

 

[Jupiter]

Vocals aren't everything, but it stinks a little that 3 out of the 4 top vocalists here might not make it (Raiven, Hera & Natalia). Why don't these ladies have better songs/stagings. At least I'm sure Iolanda will make it

 

[Malagant]

Great to see Luxembourg back in ESC. I like this entry, it's catchy and hope it makes the final.

 

[Chrisiam]

Ah yes, when I think Luxembourg I too think purple leopards.

 

[Jay25]

What are those jaguars?

State animal of Luxembourg

 

[gigi_copp3]

Ukraine has more visuals and likes than Croatia.
I think they will win this semi

 

[Etanna]

Tali came across as quite shy/static but other than that the performance was nice (although the AI generated art felt quite random but it was not too distracting)

 

[slatka]

The leopards killed me…

 

[ollibox]

I don't know why. but these hair tails are turning me off.... Struggling to find an English expression.
In the NF she was much prettier?

 

[soulm8]

Wow, Luxembourg must go to the final!

 

[Jupiter]

I think Talis stylist hates her tbh.

 

[Codeword Iroquois]

That was one big, unnecessary, cat.

 

[lasse braun]

portugal solid but nothing special - luxembourg boring and australia good voice but weak song.

 

[0scar]

I honestly cannot with Malin it is EXTREMELY awkward

 

[Citelis]

Luxembourg I want you know the final. Tali was amazing!
