Today, the first 7 acts took to the stage for the first time! For me, this officially marks the start of the ESC party!
These rankings are based purely on STAGING- I will be leaving my personal opinion of the song out of my ranking, I'm only going off the visuals and how well they suit the song!
--------------------------------
#7: Sweden
Honestly, the NF staging was the best part about this song...but they've taken that away and replaced it with a complete mess. Sadly, this song will still qualify, but by far the worst staging of the day
--------------------------------
#6: Lithuania
It's nothing special, pretty much what I expected for this song. It has improved from the NF performance though (So glad that horrible yellow is gone)
--------------------------------
#5: North Macedonia
Oh, hello, Dotter rip-off! This is more than I was expecting for this song, and...I guess it lifts this song
--------------------------------
#4: Slovenia
Ana, mum! I do really like this staging, but it can only go so far, and in all honesty, there's nothing new about a big LED screen
--------------------------------
#3: Australia
The staging is very intriguing, and while we haven't seen that much, it's certainly going to be an interesting spectacle
--------------------------------
#2: Russia
honestly, any doubts about Russia's NQ have been obliterated for me. This is living rent-free in my head for the next decade, help!
--------------------------------
#1: Ireland
And mama Lesley slays! We haven't seen the full thing, but what we have seen is AMAZING, and what they are describing really has me on the edge of my seat waiting for the second rehearsal! At least for now, #Dublin2022
