is amazing, fun, fresh. Perfectly staged. Love it! Top 3 this semi?

 

[Etanna]

Armenia is so lovely. I want to see it in the final so bad!

 

[soulm8]

Armenia is a vibe, something Greece couldn’t achieve unfortunately….

 

[Stargazer]

Armenia has a great vibe and atmosphere and I love the folk aspect of the entry. I just wish it had a better melody. The song itself is lacking unfortunately.

is next, second toilet break after .

 

[Laepo1]

I never warmed up to either Austria and Denmark.

But Armenia is such a nice happy song

 

[Zorjan]

I wanna marry her!
What a girl, what a performance! Thank you Armenia!

 

[Citelis]

Armenia another overrated entry

 

[Realest]

[Teaisloveable]

I'll be so disappointed if Armenia don't make it through, such a fun performance!

 

[aef]

Ok armenia song is good the staging not so much

I think their staging simple and very good. Nice traditional touch.

Which words?

 

[Chrisiam]

Let's hear from the Italian fans, all seven of them!

 

[Biste]

OMG

All the Belgian flags when calling out Germany

 

[Jay25]

Showing the Belgian instead of the German flag twice is amazingly bad

 

[JChan]

i like how they couldn't find anyone waving a german flag so they just cut to someone waving a belgian flag?

 

[Etanna]

I like this bit with the countries and languages (also lol at the Germans being so quiet and cold compared to all the other cultures)

 

[HarryUK]

Not the camera man honing in on a Belgian flag when they asked for German fans

Somewhere there's an WW2 joke in here, but I'm not gonna bite.
