FEEL THE FEVEEER RAAA

 

[HarryUK]

He’s making my current fever even worse

 

[Neely]

I like Catalina but the sound mixing was just as bad as the audition programme. Some poor stagings in this final when usually they elevate the songs.

 

[gingerale]

Songwise the best. Vocals not.

 

[Seregil Korit]

The nasal quality of his voice really making his point of feeling the fever hit home. So detail oriented!

[Geborgenheit]

Iulia Teleuca's Runaway is pretty good, fits the Eurovision spirit completely.

 

[Decayingbooks]

Iulia did a great job, the song isn't great, but the stagging elevated it

 

[Etanna]

Run away is actually pretty good as well! A bit repetitive but enjoyable nonetheless. Although I kept hearing "run away air" and I was confused what that meant

 

[EscGeek]

I can't believe i've been sleeping on Runaway all this time.. the song is dope

 

[Seregil Korit]

Viola!

 

[NikolaiMoller]

Anti-princess my winner tonight

 

[Geborgenheit]

If Catalina doesn't win, the voting is rigged

 

[gingerale]

Fever, Anti-Princess or In The Middle for me.

OL was hands down the best vocalist of the night. She was wondrous. If OL could pull off some kind of a miracle win tonight, I think she could have a special moment in Malmö.

Viola Julea and Nicoleta Sava are both legends who have enriched my national final season listening experience this year. I'm grateful to both of them.

I feel Anti-Princess is the most Eurovision suited and ready entry there. I can't say it's really my kind of bop but a lot of effort has gone into the staging. It's the safe choice.

 

[Neely]

Hmm, not happy with Reghina's staging, would have preferred something traditional. I like Cătălina's Fever but the vocals struggled in the verses. Iulia gave possibly the best performance but In The Middle is probably the classiest and safest option.

My only concern for Natalia is that staging which fails to feature the singer in close up shots can scupper their chances - Rebecca losing to Rybak in Norway 2019 springs to mind - but she has the experience...and the money.

Didn't follow this NF so far. But from the recap I'd go with Valeria or Iulia. But neither of them would be in my current top 10, I fear.
