About Portugal, you guys are forgetting that Portugal has a really big diaspora in Luxembourg and also in the UK. So I would not consider them to be completely alone in the semi.
Cut to me, a Luxembourger without Portuguese heritage even, planning on voting for Iolanda with all my might. 😅 I hope Portugal will get our 12 points. Manifesting the Portugal-Luxembourg voting block 😂
I love this chat - I didn’t realize how desperately we needed some female representation in the Eurovision “authority” community - I’m so used to you being the only equal to wiwibliggs I had in terms of whose opinions I really respect and whose content is top quality - but I just discovered three more people that are total rockstars!!!!
It's somehow disrespectfull saying that Portugal would not add anything to the final. Portugal represents some of the quality and values that are lackying today at Eurovision
Iolanda Grito is a masterpiece that requires understanding!!! Not everyone has eyes to see and ears to hear what we try to send to Eurovision! But as has often been said, we (Portuguese) always send the best we have and think we should show, and not what is fashionable for everyone! We make a difference through our authenticity and uniqueness! Thank you very much for your feedback, a big hug from Portugal 🇵🇹❤😊
Oof… OOF… well considering I have multiple faces this is tricky. At the end of they day it matters who wins. BUT! we gotta get Bambie in the final. Ireland NEEDS this
@@AlesiaMichelle I'm starting to have a better feeling about Bambie. On the plus side - it's definitely in the most local-friendly top 3 with Croatia and Finland. And in 2019, Iceland won the televote in its semifinal, didn't it? And that was quite a shocking entry for many people. I totally understand the pessimism, because it's Ireland. But if we don't qualify, I have to ask - what more can we do? Pray for a better semi final next year?
I've a feeling that Australia could be like Belgium last year. A big surprise. I think the casual public not the Eurofans will appreciate it alot more.
I don't think Croatia is cult-like, I feel quite a few like it. I also feel it's anthemic. Lithuania as fan flop? The vocals live are ok, but the studio is clearly better. It depends so much on performance. And Sweden's Unforgettable clearly depends on the expensive stage machinery (as usual). It's ok to criticise it. Also add me to those who like Azerbaijan and Slovenia.
Alesia: I had a similar reaction to yours when the rest of the panel declared Moldova "DOA." I really hope they're proven wrong. 😆 The song/performance captivated me during the NF.
speaking out as a rim tim tagi dim disliker, its not that i dont like rock 😭 i love rock, and some of my fav eurovision songs include deli, we could be the same, promise, and more, but rim tim tagi dim specifically hits the same cringe bone in me that intention (bulgaria 2022) hit. and nobodys saying that if you don't like intention then you don't like rock
@@MrTomyxl yes!🤠👍 I don’t like y’all’s song I’m sorry. Idk if you want me to lie? But anyways if it comes down to y’all against Switzerland, I will be rooting for Croatia so that’s one positive thing I’ll say
I don't think the televote will care about Luxembourg tbh. And Portugal? I just don't know. She's not in my top 9 but I love the song. Serbia is safe. Poland depends on it's execution. What happens if Finland doesn't qualify? Ireland and Australia are both in this black box. This is going to be exciting and sad at the same time.
Luxembourg is just as dated as Iceland but it's been given a real bonus push to qualify from the producers by getting to go last! They definitely did that on purpose because they want Luxembourg to qualify for their big return
Honestly Croatia is not a rock song it's a rock adjacent with dance influence and baby lasagna is just not selling me nor impressing me on the vocals they just don't seem great every time I see it live
16:09 Yeah no lol, if Portugal NQs RTP is 100% pulling out of next year, especially if a country like Switzerland wins. I'd bet money on that, FdC's numbers and general interest is quickly falling back to pre 2017 numbers, you give them a reason, they will drop ESC happily as the cost won't be worth it. Just say you don't want us in the final, especially if we "don't add anything to the final" anyway.
“Just say you don’t want us in the final” Are you joking?!? Everyone here raves about the song and made it very clear we want it to advance. Stop being dramatic.
Portugal never send a circus song. It is music, but realy music . . . Thank you for your opinion . It's real music, to be played by an orchestra, it's not a jumble of everything jumping around in an arena. Eurovision is also voice, composition, presentation. It's not a joke. 🇵🇹💎💎💎💎💎
No rules will get true i think poland nice song country vote for each other not fair but glad afraid for ireland but fingers cross if uk can vote for us is goodthing up ireland
Sad to hear the general consensus of the Ladies about Portugal. It is currently my number 1, I hope it will make it!

Iceland and Germany (250,000 portuguese) as well
12 from Lux

this was such a fun panel of people, thank you for the stream and predictions, I am now 10 times more stressed about qualifiers lmaooo
Serbia❤❤❤❤
GREAT JOB, Alessia and the girls! Thank you very much! Really enjoyed this entertaining and diverse in opinion discussion! 😘

For those who say "when it was", it was on minute 58:00
I agree 100%
It’s not disrespectful, it’s someone’s opinion.
You can disagree.
That’s because they won’t add anything to the final💀 Maybe just a toilet break but that’s it
@@livinglegendlanadelrey oh your cancerous self is back, hurray
Aw I'm Australian thank you so much for the love Lou ❤
Also I'm an Aussie who loves Ireland this year! Bambie has to get into the final 🖤⭐️🌙🔮🧟♀️

Zserbija top 5!!!!❤🎉😊
Serbia will qualify, the song is soo amasing and no matter the place it will go thru.
If you had to pick between your favourite winning or ireland qualifying what would you choose? 😀 love your channel x
Oof… OOF…
well considering I have multiple faces this is tricky. At the end of they day it matters who wins. BUT! we gotta get Bambie in the final. Ireland NEEDS this
@@AlesiaMichelle Haha sorry for putting you in the spot but at least we have so many great winner potentials, Ireland needs this qualification haha
The camera cuts for Bambie in Madrid were great. Very compelling.
RIGHT!!!

The odds are now saying Ireland is qualifying 🥹
I would have loved to hear opinion about Lithuania.
Everyone likes it and thinks it will advance.
Love Silvester Luktelk, he so adorable ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
What a nice afternoon talk, but I missed Lili ❤

Same! Like I don’t hate rock either but rttd is just mid to me. People are way too defensive over that song imo. Not everyone has to like it
@@livinglegendlanadelrey again you 😂🐱
When I watch what you write, always the same haters, I can only feel your envy and not good wishes! Too miserable!🐱
@@MrTomyxl yes!🤠👍 I don’t like y’all’s song I’m sorry. Idk if you want me to lie? But anyways if it comes down to y’all against Switzerland, I will be rooting for Croatia so that’s one positive thing I’ll say
@@MrTomyxl no tea but why would i be envious of a song i personally dislike by a singer who i personally dislike the voice of...like im all good babe
What would Portugal add to the final ? An actual song 🗿
Well then ok, this has convinced me to put all 20 votes on portugal instead of ireland
Thank you

I love the Måneskin shirt

Hate this dated Finland nonsense but maybe some people have not moved on in Eurovision.
It Embarress music if honest.
Luxembourg is qualifying over cyprus 100 percemt, polamd is non competitive but is getting through with diaspora, Slovenia is doa
DOA- Slovenia 😳😩😫😭
Honestly Croatia is not a rock song it's a rock adjacent with dance influence and baby lasagna is just not selling me nor impressing me on the vocals they just don't seem great every time I see it live
“Not a rock song”
Maybe it is not a rock song FOR YOU. But to deny the génère this is firmly in is, unfortunate.
Loved being a part of this!!! ❤️
So glad to have you there 🙏🏾❤️
Slovenia go final ❤ top 10 this years
Do you think running orders should pick out of hat more fair
Honestly I wouldn’t hate it because YES it’d be fair
What will be
Shock Q
Shock NQ
Shock Grand final
16:09 Yeah no lol, if Portugal NQs RTP is 100% pulling out of next year, especially if a country like Switzerland wins.

Just say you don't want us in the final, especially if we "don't add anything to the final" anyway.
The numbers and interest are 100% RTP's fault
I did the coverage of FDC and Gonçalo Madail responses were inconsequent
@@Rafael-br9dd oh absolutely, which is why I said give RTP the excuse and they will drop out.
@@ddraven3180 RTP is not doing nothing to make FDC more appealing for young and newer audiences

That Irish girlie should not Express her opinions publicly anymore.
Ur mad

What opinion in particular has made you say this?
Haters gon’ hAte and players gon’ play
