Thanks for the link for the Spanish ESC pre-party. Love that.

Overall impression (only watch certain artists):
- Samatha Tina really gives her all. I am not a fan of the song, but she really sells the song out of it. Very strong vocals.
- Ben Dolic sang the ESC edit of the song to the original studio instrumental. That's the closest we will get. This is one of the songs that I was waiting to see it with the full staging.
- Victoria did just right. Sounded almost like the studio recording.
- Gjon's Tears as usual great vocals, but I would have love to see him sing to the original studio instrumental.
- VAL is great. I just don't understand why more people didn't like the song. Actually, I can see this song getting support from the jury.
- Go_A, wow, their performance sounds like the exact studio version. Well done!
- I like artists that did their songs to the original studio recording, at least, we can get a sense how they sound 'live' in the actual competition.

And this is so sad. I feel so bad to all the artists especially those that won't get a chance to represent their countries next year. EBU should have done a full show to honour the songs and the artists (whether is it a music video, NF performance or montage video). They deserved so much more.

Absolutely agree about VAL. Just as Samantha Tina, VAL is actually at the bottom of my list, but both did just wonderful yesterday. Never thought that.
And agree about everything else you said also! :)

2nd episode of Eurovision Home Concert series.

General thoughts:
- I really like the version Dadi performed. The 8-bit parts are really great. And I have to say he got the best harmonies in this year's competition. The backing vocalists did such an amazing job to lift the song. And his cover for "Lipstick" is pretty good, turn such a fun song into a mysterious-sounding song.
- I really like Leonara's version and it's great to see her involving her family members to do the song with her. It's evident that she grew up in a musically-influenced family. And her voice really suit Satellite, but I don't really like her version of the arrangement though.
- Vasil got a great voice, but such a waste, he has to record such a vapid song.
- Did Gjon's Tears send the same video to the Spanish ESC Pre-party?
- Why did Vasil and Montaigne send such low quality videos to the Spanish ESC Pre-party compared to the Eurovision Home Concert series? LOL.
- Aksel and band doing social distancing. LOL.
- Jamala's cover of "Arcade", Montaigne's cover of "Repondez-moi" and Aksel's cover of "Fairytale" are pretty decent.

Thanks for that! :)

The detailed breakdown of the "juries" scores can be found over here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_kleine_Song_Contest
The video of the first semi here - https://tvthek.orf.at/profile/Mr-So...y-presents-Der-kleine-Song-Contest-1/14048172

I know that Cesar guy seems like a boring person, and his taste in music confirms that. Giving Israel a "2" and Georgia/San Marino a "0"? Plus rating Armenia/UK/Poland/Romania/Spain/The Netherlands over Israel. I question his entire existence.
Those who gave Israel below a "8" need their tastes checked.

And those underrating San Marino/Georgia need to have their ears checked.
Belarus is vastly underrated by everyone, it's exhausting.

I just can't. France 3rd?!!!! And as usual, Sweden is overrated. And not surprised at Malta's win, if they like what Sweden has to offer (which is an unoriginal and bland entry), Malta (which is a similar genre to Sweden's entry) was done even better.

We need to bar people like that Caesar/Eric/Manuel guy from being a jury. And I am disappointed in Conchita, 4 points for Azerbaijan? Zoe seems like she knows what she is doing (though I am surprised she gave 4 to Russia, considering she gave Azerbaijan 10).

Luckily this is not the actual jury for Eurovision, I would have boycotted the Austrian jury.

Same here. This must be a joke to vote Sweden 2nd with THAT song and France 3rd. They must be musically deranged.

Tumblr, mostly.
Why is everyone surprised Vincent finished second? AUSTRIANS WERE PERMITTED TO VOTE FOR THEMSELVES OFC HE MADE THE TOP TWO.

The fact that Dadi Freyr beat him inspite of the astronomical odds to not do so cements that he prolly would've won Eurovision proper. Fuck you, covid-19.
