my final thoughts on this year's #Eurovision
- Slovenia remains my favorite song
-FIN is my favorite for the win
- FR has been vastly improved by staging
- Austria is the most fun
- LAT is pure quality
- I'm living for AZE, Malta & BEL positivity

#Eurovision is finally here
my (unrealistic) wishes:
- Serbia/Latvia qualify for the final
- Israel flops
- Sweden fails to win
-Slovenia/Austria get top 10

I love her stage presence and the disco feels, but I need to see her perform this. I suspect surprises in the performance. She owns this.

Australia - Voyager - Promise
It's definitely #Eurovision of bands this year. I don't hate this but I'm also not impressed, it sounds a little bit dated in the current arrangement. Might be a bit better with staging that Australia often does well.

Cyprus - Andrew Lambrou - Break A Broken Heart
Another one for the generic pop songs category. It's not bad, but not great either, I feel like I heard the song a million times before. You may have noticed that I appreciate risky entries, so this does nothing for me.

Moldova - Pasha Parfeni - Soarele Si Luna
This is exactly what I want from etno in #Eurovision . The NF staging is a bit underwhelming but Moldova typically ups their game for the big show, so I expect this to qualify solidly.

Israel - Noa Kirel - Unicorn
One of the most expected songs of this season due to Noa's huge popularity. The song sounds like something out of ESC lab, disjointed and insincere. I expect memorable staging and great performance, but I would be happy if it stayed in the semi. #Eurovision

UK chose a bop, which are severely lacking this year and it's fun. It feels very effortless, Mae is a socialist queen, and she seems to be genuinely excited to perform at ESC and I am here for it.

Austria - Teya and Salena - Who The Hell Is Edgar?
This is quintessential ESC entry. It's fun, it's camp, it's got a good message, it's catchy as hell. I wish there was a bit more impact in the last minute of the song, but this will be one of my favorites in semifinal 2.

A masterclass in staging & performing for a pretty average generic pop song. The last 30s elevate the song significantly. The eurovision fandom is predicting a win, while I have at least 5 songs I'd rather see win in May.

Yes, this is where it’s heading. I don’t know when enough people who think they aren’t directly impacted will start to speak up. (Although of course the truth is it impacts everyone). Will it be after tens of thousands of trans people are dead? Is that how humanity works? #TransRightsAreHumanRights

There are SO MANY issues journalists could write that affect majority of people (lack of tenant laws/landlord regulation, labor laws) but they choose to make stuff up that will endanger lives of a tiny, already oppressed minority. Onion should get an award for this piece. #TransLivesMatter

It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible
The task of reporting is not a simple one. Each and every day, reporters and editors at publications like The Onion make difficult decisions about which issues should receive attention, knowing that our coverage will influence not only how people think, but also how they act.

Marco Mengoni is going to #Eurovision . He might change the song, but even if this stays, I'm okay with it. His voice is dreamy & he's more than pleasant to the eye, he can sing, Italy can stage well, I'm not worried for them at all.

yes. yes. After drowning in sad boy songs last year, I'm loving what we're getting this year in terms of music diversity. Great stage presence, I like the concept, the lights need to be a bit polished imo.

This is pleasant but something in the production of this doesn't feel right, I'm almost losing their vocals through the song. I would play this in my car.
I hope the staging replicates the music video more than it did in NF

This is good. Love that it's in Romanian. The English verse helps get an idea what the song is about but his enunciation needs to be better. Vocal is great. The staging is a bit of a mess, hoping they will change the concept for #Eurovision .

I like the groovy vibes, styling, there's an idea for staging there but it's just somehow... boring? Malta literally changed the whole song last year, so I'm hoping for a good revamp. There's potential in this.

In the meantime, I got hooked on Carpe Diem from Joker Out for Slovenia, and now it's solid 9/10. They killed the live performance and the song is addictive. I knew it was going to be a grower, but didn't expect it to grow on me so quickly & intensely. Oh #Eurovision I love you so.

Czech have chosen Vesna - My Sister's Crown to represent them at #Eurovision . There's been a lot of controversy questioning the intentions of the song, for me, it's about other slavic nations coming together to support Ukraine against the aggressor. It's not totally up my alley, but I like it. 8/10

Her stage presence & abilities are top notch, but the song is just not for me, I really don't get the hype. There were several songs I'd rather see in Liverpool, but it is what it is.
