Can somebody explain staging concept in one sentence please. I’m asking for a friend.

Little Red Ridinghood as told by a late 2000's Emo/Scenekid.

 

[jatojo]

My ears find it hard to distinguish between Georgia, Malta, Cyprus and the likes.

 

[Stargazer]

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

I don't think it had anything to do with German in particular. Just a joke that after saying so many things in all the other languages, to then only knowing one or two words in the next language they highlighted. The contrast was funny because it was unexpected.

My ears find it hard to distinguish between Georgia, Malta, Cyprus and the likes.

you must differentiate between them not by the songs but by the dance breaks

 

[cassio]

Georgia Song and Staging fit...

 

[Geborgenheit]

Georgia is fire. What an energy.

Okay, it could be. Let's just say I didn't get the "joke".

 

[mauve]

Firefighter? Too late. Isaak used all fire.

 

[lasse braun]

georgia boring pop hell.

 

[Laepo1]

This semi is going to be a blood bath right?

 

[Chrisiam]

Georgia's solution to putting out a fire is to add more fire!

 

[Teaisloveable]

Who's using more pyrotechnics, Germany or Georgia? Haha

 

[jatojo]

Georgia like a firefighter going through the ashes and rising from it like a phoenix.

 

[Zorjan]

I think Georgia will end around 10th...
We've got a lot of kinda good looking female singers with a slutty outfit and dancing skills surrounded by hunky male dancers. Like A LOT!

 

[Realest]

will rightfully qualify due to the lack of alternatives. In a normal competitive Semi with 18 Countries, she wouldnt.

 

[AliceEsc]

Nutsa is selling the heck out of this. I won't be mad if it Qs.

 

[jatojo]

Who's using more pyrotechnics, Germany or Georgia? Haha

Or Czechia.

 

[0scar]

I have to admit it is a lot of noise all these songs following up on each other. I'm exhausted

 

[NeoTen]

Ah yes Loic Nottet. When walking backwards became a legal dance move.

 

[soulm8]

This semi is going to be a blood bath right?

If you mean most of then sux and everyone can go through. Yes.
