It’s a chaotic mess, you either have to be from the Balkans or need to have the deteriorated taste of music of someone below 30 to appreciate it It will flop
I think Greece’s entry is very unique, it showcases the culture and language. Marina has a beautiful voice. Given the fan reaction, it’ll definitely qualify! Also, thank you for including Israel and not allowing politics to influence your decision to include Eden in your reaction. I think her voice and the song are both gorgeous.
Your comment about Norway, saying you think they’ll NQ because they’re similar to Australia last year, makes no sense considering Australia won their semi final. They probably only had such a significant drop in the final as people knew it was a two horse race and voted for Kaarija more.
I do think you mix up what you think should go through if you were the entirety of the televote and what is likely to go through 😂. My prediction and my wishlist is never 100% the same.
Georgia will qualify safely now thats what i think after her first rehearsal. She showed enough. I think she will even add better things in the second rehearsal. Im so excited!!
Norway and Greece NQ!!! Seriously! I guess it is your opinion which you are entitled to. Switzerland staging is a worry I agree with you there hopefully there is more to it.
I love that you are honest (what's in a name) about The Netherlands' entry this year. The whole country seems behind Europapa. It's MAD actually how we all support this one. It's even more alive than Duncan Laurence's Arcade in 2019. Really everyone is making a party out of this song. What a big bummer it would be IF we don't qualify. But we will. I am sure. Joost said he doesn't like the rehearsals to be out in the open. Because he has a few surprises for us. So let's see and find out next week! :-D Can't wait!
First of all, the most amazing and special this year is Eden, good luck girl, Israel loves you, trusts you and is proud of you! 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 Secondly, the presentation on the stage, from the clothes to the dancing, everything represents those who were murdered at the Nova music festival on 07.10 who were murdered by Hamas, the white light represents angels who were picked before their time and all came to dance and were murdered! And Eden's clothes have tears as a sign of what these scum did to them and as a sign of mourning in the Jewish people!
Thank you for including Israel. I've been following your channel for many years now and I was so sad when I saw that you decided not to upload a reaction video for Eden. Love you and your channel either way, and I hope our community will become more inclusive in the future
Hi Georgina, I think the reason why the fans came after you regarding your opinion on Greece was the fact that you titled the video “Semi Final Predictions”, when apparently it was more of who your personal qualifiers were, and not actually who you think is gonna qualify. Yes, you’re allowed to have personal preferences, but when you say you predict an entry like Greece to not qualify, that’s different from saying that you personally would not like Greece to qualify. Honestly, I think Greece is an obvious qualifier, but if you personally don’t like the song, that’s fine with me. Just be careful with the wording of your videos.
20:00 This girl is just so talented.. It is such a shame the current situation is overshadowing her abilities, because in any other year she would have been so much more appreciated.
Look at her sitting at her chair static judging performers who are on a huge worldwide show rehearsing.. again what insight are you giving us? “She is flat here” duh? We can hear that.. can you tell us why she might be flat? Is it the stress? Her posture? What? Useless video once again…
Greece seems to have a large fandom, so i think it will qualify (even though i completely agree with about the song. Not my cup of tea). I hope Israel, Georgia, Latvia and Denmark will qualify. I really love those songs, and it will be a crime not to see them in the grand final.
Hi Georgina I know this isn’t Eurovision but I would love to visit your shop. Where are you based? I live in Gloucestershire so I don’t think that it’s too far away. Love you and your videos 😊 xxx.
You are spot on with the reviews. I think that there are border line acts with the televote which I would personally speaking as a producer, I would like to see advance: 1. Albania: Besa, Titan 2. Denmark: Saba, Sand - A bit boring standing on a platform. 3. Latvia: Dons, Hollow - Dons just standing there is not going to be sufficient to advance to the Grand Final, I am afraid. 4. Portugal: Iolanda, Grito The international professional juries will not vote on which acts from the Semi-Finals will move on to the Grand Final; only the televote selects which act from the Semi-Finals moves to the Grand Final. My personal NQs for both Semi-Finals, with the televote "effect" are: Semi-Final 1 Not Qualifying: 1. Iceland : Hera Björk, Scared of Heights 2. Moldova : Natalia Barbu, In the Middle 3. Azerbaijan : Fahree feat. Ilkin Dovlatov, Özünlə apar 4. Australia : Electric Fields, One Milkali (One Blood) 5. Portugal : Iolanda, Grito Semi-Final 2 Not Qualifying: 1. Malta: Sarah Bonnici, Loop 2. Albania: Besa, Titan 3. Denmark: Saba, Sand 4. Armenia: Ladaniva, Jako 5. Latvia: Dons, Hollow 6. San Marino: Megara, 11:11 It is going to be a battle of the girl's "bops" between: Semi-Final 1 - Girl's "Bops" 1. Cyprus : Silia Kapsis, Liar 2. Luxembourg : Tali, Fighter Silia does a good job but I find the staging lacking impact. Edge to Luxembourg as it comes back to Eurovision so there might be subjectivity in the televote and EBU. Semi-Final 2 - Girl's "Bops" 1. Malta: Sarah Bonnici, Loop 2. Austria: Kaleen, We Will Rave 3. Georgia: Nutsa Buzaladze, Firefighter I think the favorite is Kaleen. For me.- strong dance performance but weak vocals; sometimes, out of breath. I think that both Kaleen and Nutza will advance to the Grand Final. In general, I also do not favor props which require the performance to stand on it as it rotates or goes up and down as it could potentially affect the vocal performance and delivery; and if something goes unpredictably wrong with the prop, it will most likely impact the performance as the incident was not scripted and the artist was not prepared to address.
I’m soo disappointed with Switzerlands staging choice. The song is absolutely my favourite and if they could have transferred more of the video to the stage it would have been perfect. We shall see if anything changes again and I kind of hope it does.
She is finally talking about Israel. What a shame we didn't get a decent coverage from you for the Israeli song like you did for all the other songs this year. And more so when it comes to the most vocal and talented singers this year, if not even the best of them. Watch her audition for the next star with a perfect score for the first time in the show's history.
Georgina pleaseeee let me know when you do the big 5, what’s not right or that you don’t like about France 🇫🇷 I personally think it’s definitely a potential winner. Vocals, emotion, performance, passion, catchy, i thinks its a full package!
Funny, the issue you have with the entry from Greece, I have with Switzerland whilest I really like the former, but that's how it is! Everyone experiences differently and enjoys in differernt ways, that's also what Eurovision and what music is about! There shouldn't be hate on opinions on this. Everyone should just enjoy and let others enjoy, keep it up! I am so excited for the shows, most because I think we have many potential winners this time!
I know i am going to be biased as I come from Malta but tbh I only see Malta's putting on a show maybe not best song but definitly not dead last in the betting odds.
Your big q no will qualify and to the final top 3. Decide please if you react for the quality of voice as vocal coach or if you react for the songs. If for both 1st question. What's wrong with her voice and pls give us the exact time to the vid. 2nd question. Your prediction and let's talk here after the results. PS. I not like the song too.
Potentially you might be the only reactor in the 150 reactions in the socials saying that Greece will not qualify 😂 Of course we all have different taste in music but we have to be non biased and appreciate the voice the song and staging.. I get that it might be a bit too youngish and modern for you but this will definitely end up in the top positions in the final. Maybe in your next video when it qualifies you might reconsider??
Indeed missed opportunity for Switzerland. Song it’s indeed tremendous as well but sceptic for this staging. It should be fun and easier for the artist not make it harder. I got France as the winner now but had this for many weeks since it got released.
I also think Switzerlands prop was a good idea for them. It doesn't look that great to the audience while giving the performer on it a hard time. Before the rehearsals I thought Switzerland would win if they have a good staging, but now I think another country will take the first place.
Thank god greece is a sure qualifier, otherwise esc woule be a boredom. But I respect your opinion. I just think we watch esc for different reasons❤. I would recommend to listen to other songs by Marina like Mantissa or Spirto Ke Venzini. I am no Greek, but she is such a unique artist. Zari could be overwhelming (this is what she wanted) but her other songs are different and play with folk and electronic in such a unique way.
You have your opinion about Norway, - and you are almost alone. That's ok, but your comparison with Australia last year is a big miss. Australia won the televote in their semifinale! Just a reminder
I said exactly the same thing about switzerland! That song is my favourite and I liked Nemo's character too, such a cute person. But even though the possibilites were endless with that song, the stage show looks dull and I am so sorry about this because stage performance is everything on Eurovision. That song is super versatile, you can do many surprising shows with that. Why only the inception spinner :/
It's different the fact that you just don't like a song than being objective and downgrading a song that is liked by most viewers. 👎👎 not clear view at all
Quite the 'Honest' Vocal Coach we've got here, missing the fact that Marina Satti is a top contender! While she goes 'Ta Ta Ta Ta' to the finals, others might be left singing a different tune. 😅🎤
Greece is very marmite especially on a first listen. I wonder if the votes from people who like traditional cultural elements in songs will be a bit split with Armenia. I think of the people who gravitate towards those some will find Greece "too much" and others will find Armenia "too repetitive". If they were in different semis I think they'd both go through but it's hard to say what casual viewers will like when we're all so far down the rabbit hole.
The fact that you think that Norway is *not* going to go qualify is funny, because you compare the song to Australia last year when Ulveham is not even close to resembling Australia’s song last year! Also Australia qualified last year, and Norway has qualified the last 10 and more years so the chance that Norway *doesn’t* qualify is little!
Greece is the most clever song 🤍🤍 love her she has something special
It’s a chaotic mess, you either have to be from the Balkans or need to have the deteriorated taste of music of someone below 30 to appreciate it
It will flop
I think Greece’s entry is very unique, it showcases the culture and language. Marina has a beautiful voice. Given the fan reaction, it’ll definitely qualify!
Also, thank you for including Israel and not allowing politics to influence your decision to include Eden in your reaction. I think her voice and the song are both gorgeous.
Why did your video break down during you watching the Greek song? Don't be afraid about your opinion, we all have one.
Copyright perhaps
She doesn't like it. I don't like it either
Your comment about Norway, saying you think they’ll NQ because they’re similar to Australia last year, makes no sense considering Australia won their semi final. They probably only had such a significant drop in the final as people knew it was a two horse race and voted for Kaarija more.
I do think you mix up what you think should go through if you were the entirety of the televote and what is likely to go through 😂. My prediction and my wishlist is never 100% the same.
Thank you Georgina! And thanks for including Israel in this video. Love love love your reaction video's! :)
Greece winner alert🚨🚨🔥
Georgia will qualify safely now thats what i think after her first rehearsal. She showed enough. I think she will even add better things in the second rehearsal. Im so excited!!
Norway and Greece NQ!!! Seriously! I guess it is your opinion which you are entitled to. Switzerland staging is a worry I agree with you there hopefully there is more to it.
I think Norway will qualify, Ulveham is outstanding and Gunnhilds voice is incredible beautiful 🥇❤️🇳🇴
Israel ❤❤❤
🫶🏼 great singer, great song 🎧

Israels song is great and Eden is a great singer

Thank you for covering all participants. Much love

I love Eden's song!
Eden from Israel was superb!

Israel and Latvia are by far the standouts
Israel is so art and class
Winner 👑❤🇮🇱
OMG Nutsa! My huge respect from USA! You really getting there! Georgia 🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪
Israel is my winner this year 🥇
Amazing 🫶
12 points from France
And my is France. 12❤ from Italy
Israel song is so beautiful ❤🇩🇪
Austria entry so powerful it blew your audio temporarily 😂
Georgia 🇬🇪❤️ fantastic
Eden golan number 1💙🫶🇮🇱 Am israel chai .
In my top 5 for this year! ❤
Love from Israel❤🇮🇱
For Greece: Marina's vocals were on point. I didn't see you commenting on that. We understand is not your personal qualifier
GEORGIA IS POWER!
Georgia 🫶🏼🇬🇪❤️🔥
Israel 🇮🇱 the song is just amazing
I agree ❤
Despite the commotion about Israël participating, I really love Eden's song. It's one of my faves. I teared up the first time I heard it.
Greece winner alert ❤
Greece is the most innovative song this year and she sure is a top 10
I came here mostly for Greece❤ . You have to admit that despite of the mess you are not fan of, vocals are on point. Marina live never dissapoints!
Eden's dress is more of a beige colour
Tgank you for the lovely comments about our entry.🙏
No matter one’s views on Israel’s politics, their songs are always amazing!
🇮🇱 Israel was truly beautiful. Made me cry.
Indeed. A fantastic song by a great singer. ❤️🎧
😂😂😂😂😂
You know, predictions and who you would like to qualify is two different things.
Georgia just wow
20:00 This girl is just so talented.. It is such a shame the current situation is overshadowing her abilities, because in any other year she would have been so much more appreciated.
Eden is a little hurricane herself ❤ I love her and think she deserves to get a solid position in the grand final.
I'm so sorry for the people blinded by fanaticism! It's a music contest and music festivity it's supposed to unite Europe not divide us.
Mustii (Belgium) had sopme technical issues with the pre parties, but know in Malmô he will be top ❤💥💯👍
My ranking : 1) Israel 2) Ukraine 3) Poland
Who I think will win : 1) Switzerland 2) Italy 3) France
Look at her sitting at her chair static judging performers who are on a huge worldwide show rehearsing.. again what insight are you giving us? “She is flat here” duh? We can hear that.. can you tell us why she might be flat? Is it the stress? Her posture? What? Useless video once again…
Her voice. She's the honest vocal coach, duh.
Eurovision 2024: The year of...circles.
fun fack :your reactions will be the most interesting of all if Greece wins at the end 🙂🙂
Wow GREECE IS THE BEST BY FAR.Thank youuuuu
Oh Georgina, bless you for your lovely words about Eden.
Greece seems to have a large fandom, so i think it will qualify (even though i completely agree with about the song. Not my cup of tea). I hope Israel, Georgia, Latvia and Denmark will qualify. I really love those songs, and it will be a crime not to see them in the grand final.
Hi Georgina I know this isn’t Eurovision but I would love to visit your shop. Where are you based? I live in Gloucestershire so I don’t think that it’s too far away. Love you and your videos 😊 xxx.
I really dont get what you are talking about with albanian vocals... Like that's just her voice at this point
Thanks for reacting to Israel ❤
Love your Eurovision content
And dont listen to the negative and hateful comments.
U do an Amazing Job 😍🤩
This!
you cant say this after the last video
She should listen to the positive ones only? What mentality is this? Some comments are needed constructive criticisms, very useful stuff.
Belgiuuum, you can do it Mustii, just dont overdo it like preparties where you turned into goat 😂❤
Netherlands aren't revealing their real staging yet!
You are spot on with the reviews. I think that there are border line acts with the televote which I would personally speaking as a producer, I would like to see advance:
1. Albania: Besa, Titan
2. Denmark: Saba, Sand - A bit boring standing on a platform.
3. Latvia: Dons, Hollow - Dons just standing there is not going to be sufficient to advance to the Grand Final, I am afraid.
4. Portugal: Iolanda, Grito
The international professional juries will not vote on which acts from the Semi-Finals will move on to the Grand Final; only the televote selects which act from the Semi-Finals moves to the Grand Final.
My personal NQs for both Semi-Finals, with the televote "effect" are:
Semi-Final 1 Not Qualifying:
1. Iceland : Hera Björk, Scared of Heights
2. Moldova : Natalia Barbu, In the Middle
3. Azerbaijan : Fahree feat. Ilkin Dovlatov, Özünlə apar
4. Australia : Electric Fields, One Milkali (One Blood)
5. Portugal : Iolanda, Grito
Semi-Final 2 Not Qualifying:
1. Malta: Sarah Bonnici, Loop
2. Albania: Besa, Titan
3. Denmark: Saba, Sand
4. Armenia: Ladaniva, Jako
5. Latvia: Dons, Hollow
6. San Marino: Megara, 11:11
It is going to be a battle of the girl's "bops" between:
Semi-Final 1 - Girl's "Bops"
1. Cyprus : Silia Kapsis, Liar
2. Luxembourg : Tali, Fighter
Silia does a good job but I find the staging lacking impact. Edge to Luxembourg as it comes back to Eurovision so there might be subjectivity in the televote and EBU.
Semi-Final 2 - Girl's "Bops"
1. Malta: Sarah Bonnici, Loop
2. Austria: Kaleen, We Will Rave
3. Georgia: Nutsa Buzaladze, Firefighter
I think the favorite is Kaleen. For me.- strong dance performance but weak vocals; sometimes, out of breath. I think that both Kaleen and Nutza will advance to the Grand Final.
In general, I also do not favor props which require the performance to stand on it as it rotates or goes up and down as it could potentially affect the vocal performance and delivery; and if something goes unpredictably wrong with the prop, it will most likely impact the performance as the incident was not scripted and the artist was not prepared to address.
There is nothing to do, the Israeli song is the most beautiful song this year 👌
12:08 I love Jaklin. She is such a charismatic performer.
Open your mind
Georgina thank you for your feedback on Israel been waiting for it for so long, I really appreciate your expertise ❤
It’s so good
Armenia🇦🇲🫶

Vocal coach and have so much hate? Especially for Greece... Shame on you...
Georgina - I hope you drank that tea and didn’t let it go cold!
Let’s be honest, Eden Golan has the best vocals this year. Go Israel 🇮🇱 🎉
I know i am going to be biased as I come from Malta but tbh I only see Malta's putting on a show maybe not best song but definitly not dead last in the betting odds.
lo siento pero Greede es una de las propuestas mas fuertes y mejor diseñadas de esta edición: winner vibes
Greece!! Μαρινα Τα τα τα!!
we just saw some side snippets... i can not say wich staging i like or not. we need to see more from the real camera angle
And i love your videos
Denmark and Belgium😊👍
Your big q no will qualify and to the final top 3.
Decide please if you react for the quality of voice as vocal coach or if you react for the songs.
If for both 1st question.
What's wrong with her voice and pls give us the exact time to the vid.
2nd question.
Your prediction and let's talk here after the results.
PS. I not like the song too.
You are pretty conservative and your mind is closed . That's obvious.
Marina is gonna be the winner. 🎲 Greece
Potentially you might be the only reactor in the 150 reactions in the socials saying that Greece will not qualify 😂 Of course we all have different taste in music but we have to be non biased and appreciate the voice the song and staging.. I get that it might be a bit too youngish and modern for you but this will definitely end up in the top positions in the final. Maybe in your next video when it qualifies you might reconsider??
There’s definitely a lot of circles this year 😂
Czechia is my grower and I like the staging
Austria and Georgia were the best!!
Slomo has become a legend that some artist tries to create a rip off for every eurovision season 😂
Slomo was already a rip of cyprus 2018 fuego
Agree on Switzerland, needs different costume and the round thing is not working. He is one of my favorites too.
Georgina, thank you for covering Israel and for ur comments. Eurovision should be about music, not politics ❤️💕

This video should be called Boomers reacting to the rehearsals
