DARA - Bangaranga honestly the shoot up in the odds is valid, a wonderful opener! incredible vocals, great energy, and the staging was... interesting..? this was never my favourite bc of the constant switching in musical styles but it doesnt feel AS noticable as the constant chorus-style wild to think people thought this WOULDNT qualify at some point in time

JIVA - Just Go yeah i gueeesss... honestly i forgot what happened in this performance the minute it ended this song was dead on arrival and even the 13% chance of qualification on the odds was WAYY to generous she doesnt do anything, just kinda potters around the stage a bit and the staging has.. an idea that didnt work the way they wanted it to her pulling on the strings feels rlly forced and doesnt work yeah not much and didnt deserve to be on eurovision

Alexandra C. - Choke Me certainly an interesting title she has INCREDIBLE vocals and her stage presence is just so commanding and it shows so well on the camera the staging is a cool idea but i aaammmm a bit confused on whats happening most of the time especially with the white-cloaked figure?? i feel i have to reiterate this: her vocals are insanely good would happily have her as our winner this year

Eva M. - Mother Nature annoying chorus ._. forgot that she even performed within the next song lol she is very whimsical but thats rlly it... no feelings about her NQ, didnt think it would ever but her eins zwei drei cover was fun ig? also feel slightly threatened bc "mother nature. she knows..."

Daniel Z. - CROSSROADS GAGGED (targetted use here to someone, you know who you are) the idea is PERFECT the delivery is PERFECT daniel is so silly :P this is my personal winner rn actually i hope he does so well tonight ❤️❤️ and he spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnssss

MONROE - Regarde ! didnt impress me as much as it shouldve to be a contender for winning imo... still impressive tho and she goes a whole like 5 seconds before talking about paris so thats funny ig laugh pls also the odd number of dancers being unevenly split bugs me in ways inconceivable to the regular human being

SIMON - Paloma Rumba was one of my favourites going into the show... performance was not. he misses coming in sometimes, almost like his in-ears are off and his vocals in general werent great, they were better than someone else in this semi tho he misses a choreo moment it feels like and runs so slow and looney toons ahh at the end i cant take it seriously fun song, didnt deliver

Veronica F. - Alice i loved this song, so sad it didnt qualify :( honestly no idea how this didnt qualify, staging is so cool and her vocals (minus one moment) are on point the dancers were certainly an... interesting choice i love the final shot tho its so cool! deserved to qualify with atvara instead of another performer here...

Antigoni - JALLA oh look at that its the payback of all my ominous foreshadowing she was dragged kicking and making mildly uncomfortable noises (doubt she could scream judging by her vocal performances) by the song, choreo, literally everything else i mean its wild how this qualified over switzerland, latvia, fuck it even luxembourg and armenia????? im just disappointed...

COSMO - Tanzschien fun performance vocals seemed a bit off? idk if that was just me? i dont like the comso doomposters, i hope he does well also why were we in a storm/vortex thingy????? that was not part of the song at all???

Atvara - Ena same as NF performance, maybe needed a bit of an upgrade? but otherwise this was beautiful vocals were beautiful, message was (though i couldnt understand it and had to look it up) beautiful, staging was meaningful towards the performance, overall just lovely maybe could have used subtitles to show the message cuz it doesnt mean much to someone who doesnt understand latvian... yeah this or switzerland shouldve qualified over cyprus

Soren T. L. - For vi Gar Hjem (with accents but i cba) see, latvia, this is how to upgrade an NF performance the lighting bit at the start is rlly cool, two halves of his face being lit up separately works well the box™ seems rlly small on the full stage and other aspects seem toned down for the performance from the original NF one feels like it wont do as well as initial predictions suggested but will still be top 10-5 but may not be the contender for finland

Delta G. - Eclipse see, THIS is how to contend with finland her performance was great and the staging was just an addition to that they couldve just put her on the stage and she would still have done incredible but no, her full stage performance really puts her into contention for that win Sydney 2027????

LELEKA - Ridnym i love this performance, so full of emotion and her message is beautiful (take a shot every time ive said beautiful, incredible, etc i can guarantee youll be dead by half way through) the parts before, during, and after her long note has so much raw emotion and feeling behind it and i love it people theorising that was in response to the kyiv attacks on the night may be right... slava ukraini

LMNC - Eins, Zwei, Drei fun song, fun staging, vocals seemed slightly off, fun guy, overall just fun my country that doesnt change much maybe we wont get nul points this year? call and response wasnt editted into the backing track but like its ok ig

ALIS - Nan beautiful. emotional. gorgeous. should probably add a black background to the subtitles but thats my only criticism

AIDAN - Bella my favourite song this year he spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnssssss though shouldve spun faster... a lot more light than i initially thought, the roses and the dancing didnt come accross as well as we (yes, WE) had hoped and the dancing loses the NF's charm as he never actually interacts with the shadow of "Bella" the "inivisible" LEDs created this cool effect of like obcuring him which i though was rlly cool so happy he qualified tho

Jonas L. - Ya Ya Ya i thought this song was fun when it won mgp (get fucked rybak) his vocals were a bit off and i feel bad cuz he was ill :( happy he qualified despite that! i miss the close-up shot on "put your make-up ooooonnnnnn" from mgp the lack of long notes takes away from how impressive the vocals rlly are in this song key change at the end was entirely necessary, dont let anyone tell you otherwise jonas

(INTERVAL ACT) JJ - Unknown go get em girl!!!!!! see, THIS is an interval act, not whatever happened with the austria vs australia one JJ is so comfortable in his white and on his box™ with his actual army of dancers, dont get on his bad side, they WILL come after you. and as ryland observed "go plug that tour girl"

and thats it
