Hope Silvester will Q!

 

[Malagant]

Serbia is nice. I love Balkan-ballads. This isn't on the level of previous ESC-ballads by Zeljko Joksimovic and similar imo but I hope it makes the final.

 

[cassio]

[soulm8]

Tired of this kind of ESC fans! It’s not a party, it’s a song contest! Gosh…

Lithuania armed with the Noseband+1.

 

[jatojo]

My favorite part of Luktelk is when the backing singer comes towards the end.

 

[Etanna]

the audience being into the Lithuanian performance from the first moment really lifts it up so much. The energy is palpable

 

[HarryUK]

Boyfriend has threatened me with the ECHR so I’ve agreed he can leave after he helps me compose myself following Ukraine’s performance

 

[AliceEsc]

very professional and Silvester always looks so cool.

 

[jatojo]

What? They took the female vocals out at the end? What a crime.

 

[Citelis]

Lithuania's strongest entry for a while.

 

[mauve]

C'mon Ireland!

 

[cassio]

Go to hell Ireland........ and take me with you

 

[Biste]

How are the previous acts shown determined in the postcards? The contestants favourite acts? Or SVT picked some?

 

[jatojo]

Is it even possible to be out of tune with this way of producing?

 

[lasse braun]

lithuanis has the beat but that's it.

 

[Geborgenheit]

Ireland stands out for sure. Different.

 

[hawadharma]
