that t shirt did not have a heart on it?

It’s stunning how the big 5 countries are supposed to have big music markets, lots of talents and money. Yet only manages to constantly deliver bangers.

 

[jatojo]

OMG

All the Belgian flags when calling out Germany

And the host forgetting the German phrase. It was just "Guten Abend", lol.

 

[Stargazer]

And the host forgetting the German phrase. It was just "Guten Abend", lol.

I don't think the hosts forgot. I think it was supposed to be a joke that it's all the German they knew.

 

[mauve]

So far Switzerland, Czechia and Armenia for me!

 

[Biste]

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)

Well if you show Belgian people when calling out Germans, I am not surprised

 

[soulm8]

Thanks God for Big 5 in this Semi, cause the quality….

 

[lasse braun]

needs juryhelp.

 

[jatojo]

I think I prefer Latvia to France, but it's the same issue: Strong singer, depressingly boring song.

 

[cassio]

I like Latvia

 

[aef]

I don’t understand , why is he so static and emotionless. It’s not a bad song but the staging and his way of performing the song is ruining all his chances.

And I also don’t unterstand his outfit and the ring.

 

[AliceEsc]

Dons was great , I'm sad this won't qualify. I'll vote for him.

 

[Citelis]

Very weak song Latvia but he deserves qualification

 

[jatojo]

I don't think the hosts forgot. I think it was supposed to be a joke that it's all the German they knew.

Why is that a joke? Everybody would expect Swedes to know German better than Italian.

 

[cassio]

So tuching

 

[Biste]

Hugs for Dons

 

[Etanna]

I love Dons' voice, it's so beautiful. It's a pity that the staging didn't save his chances

 

[HarryUK]

Come on Spanish grandma serve it

 

[mauve]

Latvia unfortunately boring song, boring staging. And next Spain is also not for me.
