Not the biggest fan of the song. I can aknowledge the artisic and musical value, but it just doesn’t catch me.
The idea of the staging and its relaization was easily the most creative one and really blended lyrics, music, message and Nemos personality perfectly together. Everything felt very genuine and natural as if the song was simultanously created with the staging. Great Job Switzerland - that‘s a real „Gesamtkunstwerk“.
Also it was impressive to see how effortlessly Nemo managed all the difficult interactions with the moving platform.
The outfit remains hideous, though.

I'm ABI now (anyone but Israel)
Yeaaaah, I don't know. I am a big fan of this song, but while watching the performance I was scared that he will fall, which might say was distracting a bit. Due to the juries it should still safely land in top 3, but not sure about televote appeal to have enough points for victory.
I vote today starting at 6pm my time as part of the ROW vote, but I decided quite some time ago that all 20 of my votes in the final would go to Switzerland. I listened to the performance twice last night, and it sounds just as amazing with headphones as it did out of my laptop speakers

Switzerland was my number 1 but I don't think I will be voting for them anymore as other countries are doing a better job with the staging. The idea with the spinning platform is cool and the vocals are the strong point. but nothing else about the staging is working really.
A transition from dark to bright colours, an outfit change and some proper LEDs could have made this win. Unfortunately now I dont see them getting enough votes from the public.

Loved this yesterday. But I'd love to know much prerecorded vocals they're using. Not only asking because it seems incredible to hold the notes the way they do while doing the spinning thing (if it's real then a massive thumbs up). But also because it genuinely sounds slightly strange at times. I listened to the song a lot today because I enjoyed it so much and something about the breathing, some parts of the chorus and yet still these flawless vocals, it sounds a little fake? The part that gives me pause is the second part of the second chorus. When they sing the paradise part there seems to be some overlap where it seems like you can hear them twice?
This will very likely win the jury votes and may very well win or be #2 with televotes as well. Croatia will not get nearly as much jury points, certainly not if the vocals are like in the semi performance. This is a safe winner.
One thing you have to keep in mind is that Croatia just built up more visible enthusiasm for many reasons, one being having a complete stage performance from the start, releasing several more and performing in the first semi, but to most televoters it won't matter. This blows people away, first time viewers or not. It's mostly certain obsessive Eurofans over-analyzing every entry that doesn't put it first.
It's the same as with Conchita Wurst and Netta, Eurofans weren't that big on them, even though you'd think it would tick exactly their boxes, it just wasn't the most popular, but right before the final the ESC community accepted them as winner and they slayed the televote.
In just over 24 hours, Nemo will become a legend. This is their show.
