ESC SEMI 1 opinions

May 8, 2018 by Bix123
*TRIGGER WARNING*
I dislike most of the really popular songs so if you can't stand the shade being thrown at your precious "bops", look away!

*grouped by overall chances of qualifying and sorted by running order*

~~DEFINITE QUALIFIERS
Czech Republic- OKAY: Im not the biggest fan of this as i find it quite generic but its a decent pop song. Shame what happened to him tho.

Israel - HATE: this kinda shit is why people make fun of eurovision. Horrid, tacky, cringy, irritating, cheap... i could go on. The message is alright but the overall package doesnt do it justice. Ill be so happy if this flops live.

Estonia: OKAY: I actually think this is amazing, but I've only managed to listen to it fully once. That doesn't take away from the beauty of the song, its just that i have to be in a certain mood to be able to enjoy opera, and im not in that mood often.

Bulgaria- LIKE: the song is great, they sound good together (live could be a bit better tho)  and theres nothing else like it this year.

Cyprus- EH: Okay, its catchy but so is the flu. That doesnt make it good and i hate the hype over such a cheap song.

~~COULD GO EITHER WAY
Azerbaijan- OKAY: Alright for a pop song, but kinda forgettable in context of this semi. Also wtf is "luna, moon me up" supposed to mean???

Albania-OKAY: It seems like a song i could potentially like if it was in english.

Belgium- LOVE: Okay, okay apparently shes kinda bad on stage but I still hope Belgium can pull it off because the song is soo good.

Lithuania- OKAY: This song is really sweet but I cant decide if all that sugar makes me feel nauseous or if its just cute.

Belarus- HATE: I dont have a logical explanation for this one, for some reason i just get really irritated when i hear it.

Macedonia- LIKE: The song is really really good but my god, did Macedonia fuck up that staging or what? Also the singer sounded breathless in the rehearsal (from all that running up the bridge i suppoes) so praying she at least sounds better on tuesday.

Croatia- MY COUNTRY: Right, call me biased or whatever (i might be, but just a little) but this is a good entry. (Especially compared to stuff Croatia tends to send *cough* 2017 *cough*). The minimal staging is perfect for the song, shes always on point vocally and the song is actually good too. So its not catchy, and? Not every song has to be. I really want her to go to the final and im happy the first rehearsal went so well, but im still afraid to be hopeful.

Austria- OKAY: Alright song, maybe a bit bland at times. He sounds good live but him walking around on stage is a bit cringy idk.

Greece- EH:  I don't t see why such a mediocre song gets so much attention. I struggle remembering what it even sounds like.

Finland- LIKE: ill be honest, the lyrics of this song make me think of supernatural and that might be the biggest reason i like it. She doesn't sound amazing on stage tho so I wish she would pull her shit together.

Armenia- EH: Oh yeah, this exists. Bye.

Switzerland- LOVE: Great pop- rock song that is criminally underrated. I wasn't that impressed when i first heard it but i knew it would grow on me because i like this type of songs. The staging is fine, they are good live and yet the chances of this moving on are slim???

Ireland- EH: At first I really hated the vocals but ive grown to tolerate it and he's not that bad live.

~~NOT QUALIFYING
Iceland- OKAY: First of all, am i missing something here? Why does everyone hate this? I mean sure its no winner material, but its a sweet and tolerable song (compared to some). Also he's really good live so leave the poor guy alone.

i dont necessarily 'like' Iceland (im mostly neutral about the songs i put under "okay"), but unlike Israel, I have nothing negative to say about it

^^ I have also never gotten the hype for Israel and think they're MASSIVELY overrated. My life would be made if she flops live

Also best of luck to Croatia today!! I've always loved Franka and her staging is very good so I hope she may be able to sneak in to the final!!
