Cyprus, meh still think it will not Q. But best of luck! Serbia looks amazing, and I agree totally dark elf style! Lithuania, looks just a bit elevated from the nf. But the dancers look way better :) Island, they look amazing, I just hope they move out of the candle circle or it might become to static? Ukraine never disappoints with the staging! With Croatia it's a bit hard to tell since the song has so many moments, but I do prefer his clothes now :D
I agree ! I was most worried about the clothes of Marko ! And I am not disappointed at all. About Cyprus 🇨🇾 I can see what you mean I hope but she will qualify …
Giogio, I am definately hyped like a little puppy 😂😂😂. Silia looks stunning and classy, I love the dancers looking wow, but...she should have contracted you 🤭😍. I admire her sooooo much for being soo young and opening the show, really hope the nerves won't eat her. Serbia looks AMAZING with the rocks and yesss, she looks like a dark elf 😍 !!! And I like it that she's not dressed in black, that was something I was a bit worried about that it would be to sad and dark. Lithuania, I think the jacket is upgraded, the original jacket didn't have those sleeves, did they? the clothing of the dancer look like they have LED strips on them. There is a famous group of dancers from Ukraine called Light Balance, that participated in AGT, that does that and it looks similar, so could that be? that would be SO amazing !!! On the other hand, I just saw a picture that was made closer and I don't think it is what I think, it looks like laces. Ireland, nope. It's going to be a show and definately a moment but that's it. Ukraine, OOMMMMGGGGG, that looks AMAZING and LOOOOVEEE the outfits !!!! And the rock 😍😍😍. Poland, not sure what to think about that, it looks weird for now. Seems like two towers of chess, a white and a black one? Seeing this it looks like too much going on, dress change, towers, fireworks and less might be more? Might be wrong. Croatia, BL looks soooo promising !!! I also like the outfit and the entire look, rocky, traditional folk. It looks like a supercool rock concert 🤩. Loved to see a video with you alone again 😉.
Heheh finally after so long I made a video by myself yes hehehe 🤣❤️ About Poland yeah I see what you mean , the pictures don’t show where it will take us , you’re right about that. About Ireland 🇮🇪 I am a Harry Potter fan and that staging looks like it’s Harry Potter-y so I am all for it 💪🏻🔥 About Lithuania I did 5 times zoom to understand the dancers haha but I didn’t , I just see the LED lights they have which probably means they will light … so let’s see what happens after that. I love that he kept this kind of dance that he did in the national final though
@@georgikanevESC I LOVE Harry Potter ! I am a huge fan actually and Profesor Snape and Bellatrix are two of my favourite characters, especially Snape. But this doesn't give me Hary Potter vibes, to me it's too over the top for that. It gives me that cheap street-theater vibe that cringes me, I'M SORRY, I don't want to be rude, it's just my honest opinion 🙏🙏🙏. About Lithuania, I'll send you the picture I saw afterwards and I think it's just laces but not sure. And I am also very happy he kept the dance and the estetic 💖.
@@JNL76 yes I am very very happy that they didn’t change completely the idea for Lithuania. Because as I said in the video, viewers watching for the first time the performance will love it as we did watching the national final ! ❤️ Ohhh we match on that :) I looooove bellatrix from Harry Potter 😇
@@georgikanevESC Exactly, Lithuania, Portugal and Sweden had a 100% ESC ready performance in their NF already, so no need to change anything. We have to do a Harry Potter movie marathon one day 🙃.
Heeyyy Georgiii! Soooo, I was super impressed with Serbia and Ukraine mostly. I have concerns about Poland....there are so many potential distractions. But, mainly, IRELAND! YAS! I have always had so much faith in Bambie and their vision. The things that really hit me, aside from the obvious storytelling potential, are the harkbacks to ancient Celtic mythology that you can see. This entire scene is sooooooo ancient Ireland and so representative of our pagan history and culture and it makes me so so so so damn proud! I'm gonna cry when I see it live....like 3 times in the arena! :)
As I said Ukraine wasn’t in my top songs but seeing the pictures and watching the small video on tiktok I can definitely imagine that this concept is gonna look awesome
There is a lot of politics in voting for the best Eurosong. Croatia has over a million ex-pats all over the Europe.I think they going to be the deciding factor to tip the scales in Marko’s favour. Baby Lasagna entered Dora qualifying competition as a reserve; because someone else dropped out. The song is about young people leaving their home (and immigrating to other countries; 400,000 in 10 years) in search of a better life, and anxiety it creates. Yet, the song is litehearted; the energy unbelievable. It was written, and produced solely by Marko Purišić (Baby Lasagna) in his room in Umag, small town, Croatia. He writes songs (over 200) & books too. First time performing as a singer on a big stage, Marko did great; people of Croatia reacted and gave him the greatest margin of victory ever. Now; the entire nation is behind him. (See; ’Hrvatska plese Rim Tim Tagi Dim’ -RUclips). With big stage and some improvements, it’s a definite leader. Eurovision song, here we come, Rim Tim Tagi Win!
Yes the history of the song and the performance I studied very well and know the meaning of it. And I can actually relate myself to it a lot. Because that’s my story also !
The pictures look amazing, I’m really loving the look of Ukraine, Lithuania and Ireland. Ireland in particular really surprised me. This is such a strong first half for semi 1, the way that every song could qualify haha
Yesss I looked at the second half and I now know that the first half of semi 1 is actually amazing and very competitive haha. About Ukraine , you know I have said it not my cup of tea BUT that staging looks like it’s on another level
@@georgikanevESC like you, I thought Poland was likely out so i have no idea who will make it now and who won’t 😂 I love Ukraine’s outfits so much, Jerry Heil looks like a goddess
Bambie is definitely the most intriguing. Serbia looks great. Cyprus is giving heavy 90’s vibes and with amazing dancing and vocals she could make it. Ukraine looks much improved. I just think all 7 cannot qualify so I’m a bit worried for Cyprus and Poland. But nobody knows. It’s going to be a great semi though!
It’s gonna be an amazing amazing semi indeed :) and of course not all can qualify that’s very true … BUT we will have a lot of surprises. A lot of people tell me on insta that Cyprus won’t qualify :/ that makes me a bit sad. P.S let’s see your fave today , Portugal 😇
My top 7 Rehearsals 1) 🇷🇸 concept NF, I love vibe, magical 💜. Yeah, she could be dark elf. 2) 🇭🇷 same concept NF, a chance of outfit for 👍 I don't understand people who complain about copy paste NF. If something isn't broken, it doesn't need to be fixed. 3) 🇮🇪 I love vibe, will cast a curse during the performce and will charm the audience. si, Bambie welcome in final 💙 although I liked Burton atmosphere in NF. 4) 🇱🇹 concept NF, soo good 5) 🇺🇦 looks very beatiful 6) 🇵🇱 it's not my style... too much. Towers, dress chance, fireworks, and going to be a pink horse! What else? Pink clouds? Sometimes less is more The second rehearsals will tell be a mess o no . 7) 🇨🇾 well, I don't like it. I mean, nothing special. Will probably have trouble Q. Silia needed something more.
Well I agree with you actually a lot on almost all of them. Especially about the part that I don’t get why people judge so much croatias staging when it’s fully elevated ! So about Ireland yesss ❤️❤️❤️❤️
A few observations: 1) I remain so proud of Marko. What he is accomplishing in such a short whirlwind of time is just... It deserves a movie about it. 2) I am very encouraged by what we saw from Bambi Thug. I just need to see the whole thing. I'm a little worried about Cyprus, but I don't think we saw anything close to the full throttle of what they plan to do. So there's time. Meanwhile, there is no shame in admiring Marko's abs. Embrace the Zorra in you. 🤣
Yes about Cyprus as I said it looks like in Amsterdam in concert and you were also there and saw it. So we didn’t have biiig surprises but watching it in the semi could be a whole different hype. I like the idea of the movie hangout Marko 👏🤩 Did you see the pic of Markos abs ? Hahah
Bambie was the most exciting staging for SURE. Easy qualifier and I think it'll be higher up in the Semi than people think. And we havent even seen the candles rising in the air, or the flame jets or anything yet!!!! Amazing #crownthewitch Second to that, I also think Ukraine had the most polished staging by far, looked stunning
I agree ! I don’t have Ukraine this year so high in my faves BUT it’s not possible not to like the staging, they look amazing. And about Bambie yes… what to say , I am the most HYPED about this one
Great job for all of them. No surprise for Lithuania, Ukraine and Croatia. Love Poland but i really feel unconfortable with Irish song and staging ( too demoniac and chaotic for me)
Why uncomfortable, don’t you like Harry Potter ??? I love the staging. But I know what you mean , it’s either you love it or hate it. So I respect that hehehe
@@OlivierSteinier well yeah that I can accept, it’s not that we should like literally every single song right? And I see how many people don’t like Ireland and many others do hehe
I can no longer listen to serious, pompous and howler songs. It's all the same, boring. In fact, only Luna stands out, it's a light, pleasant song, something new. The rest is hard and boring!
Serbia 🤩🤩🇷🇸
Actually, Teya was considering wearing elfs ears, so you’re definitly right, she really is dark elf.
She ls stunning 💜🌸 Lilac fairy Ramonda.
OH MY GOD really ??? Ohhh finally my taste matches to something :)))))))
Well said about Baby Lasagna!!! Thank you!!!❤

Croatia is going to deliver it for sure. Also, I really like Serbia's and Ukraine's staging. That is going to elevate these two songs so much.

Ok yeah , I accept that as an opinion. We are all different and we all have our taste so I do get your point of view :)
Lithuanian dancers are got hoodies with led lights
Yess I saw it after zooming , I am just glad he kept the dance that he did in the national final 😍🤩
