If everyone put as much work into their song as into their dress and curl iron, this SF would be more nail-biting.

I have a Brunette feeling. I've always had, since it was released.

TA TA TATA TA TA

 

[Etanna]

love the greek song but the staging didn't elevate it in any way. At parts it looks almost cheap and improvised

 

[Bench]

don't get the hype

Now rooting for Nemo!!

 

[cassio]

Greece sounded horrible

 

[Chrisiam]

Greece's whole act is the most Zoomer thing I've seen this year.

 

[aef]

I like staging a lot, only the TikTok filter is utterly terrible and cringe.

 

[AliceEsc]

I'm so proud of Marina She started nervous but nailed it.

 

[ag89]

Greece is great, very entertaining akthough she seemed a bit nervous

 

[Citelis]

Our staging is below expectations.

 

[bazinga]

The overhyped fanwank that is Greece, may be flopping? Yes please

 

[jatojo]

is a mess??? Not what I expected at all, I get shock NQ vibes tbh

Televoters don't care about melody, unfortunately.

 

[Biste]

Oh damn, I missed news from the rehearsals.
Outfit change for Nemo

Oh damn, I missed news from the rehearsals.

Perhaps - opinions differ - even worse.

 

[soulm8]

Swiss song is really nice, he is a great singer, shame the stage presence is so weird not in a good way…staying like he is sitting on a toilet. Ok.

 

[Geborgenheit]

Switzerland is freakish

 

[Stargazer]

I don't get Switzerland at all. Talented singer, but the song is so messy and all over the place. I'm really struggling to find a melody.

 

[cassio]

LIke Nemo

 

[gigi_copp3]

This performance was perfect.
But I still can't see the appeal
