Wasn't expecting my top 2 from the whole selection to come in the same semi but that's what happened. Down from the 2023 version but still nice enough. Semis 3 & 4 ended up the strongest for me and Semi 1 the weakest. The only one I struggled getting through.
I do hope to see them bring back the heats-semi-final format (if they need to reduce the number of entrants then so be it) for the sole reason of giving the newer artists a more even playing field when it comes to staging. That was the thing that struck me the most through these past 5 weeks.
As much as I loved Kàro, Daniele and Paula Urbana's songs they were on pretty much a hiding to nothing with almost no staging. In the past everyone that gets to the semifinals was given a budget of something like 3k to improve on their performance. Here the discrepancies between for example Monika Marija, Pluie de Comets, Aistè shows compared to some of the newbies were really paramount.
Anyway, bring on Klaipėda! :
