Just like everyone saying there shocked I'm just telling you why.... And the reasons. So ehat your saying I'm not allowed to express my opinion (which wasn't the point of that post) but everyone else is. Just proves that your unwilling to look and understand the reason why.

tbh you sound like you disrespect our opinion more than we disrespect yours

[kastrix89]

Not really. But again I've had an opinion and everybody has jumped at me.... Alot of people just didn't like the song and no one can believe it. I hated it at first and it grew to become worse than the wookis from eesti laul..... I said a point and everyone has had a go let's moved on (even tho no one par one person, actually answered the question I posed so thank you for that)

I may as well throw my two cents in:

Cyprus - obvious qualifier but not gonna trouble the top 5 imo, banging song but somewhat forgettable on the night.
Montenegro - so bad it was kinda funny but no way did this deserve qualification
Finland - just a bit dull and repetitive
Poland - I was rooting for this and it got a massive reaction on Twitter from what I saw. However after to minutes it ran out of steam. I'm not shocked but I would have like to have seen it advance
Slovenia - I really like music video to this but I found some of the beauty lost on stage. Happy for qualification but I would have hated if it sat out.
Czech Republic - really great performance and very deserving of qualification. Could see it challenging for top10 as nothing that similar to it in the competition.
Hunagry - pretty LED, and great third minute but i was bored by then and I imagine most of Europe was too. I thought it would go through due to Hungary's strong record and a number of Hungary friendly countries voting but I am not mourning the loss.
Belarus - a massive guilty pleasure for me and the performance was so fun it brought a smile to my face. Very happy it qualified
Serbia - great vocal, great led, good song and a strong package. Well deserved and expected. Could surprise on Saturday as there is a lack of balkan flavour this year imo.
Belgium - never got this. Chorus is just so anticlimactic and boring. Odd staging/outfit and just not good enough from Belgium
Georgia - really good performance, great vocal; but a intense and the lack of blinking creeps me out. I am not shocked it didnt qualify like other - another song artificially lifted by great staging??
Australia - undeniably a awe inspiring, superlative performance. However as much as the I love the stage show, I dont like the song and I actually find it a but grating. I didnt get winners vibes personally but others love it so what do I know!!??
Iceland - HATRID MUN SIGRA. Wig? Snatched. Eurovison? Slayed Captialism? Defeated. Hotel? Trivago. This is my favourite eurovision entry ever and I plan to spend at least £20 voting for them. I really hope they win on Saturday, I dont think they will but top3 is achievable imo.
Portugal - the song and performance didnt connect with meor appeal to me, but I wanted to see it advance as I felt that it was a unique flavour to final and i love an underdog and Portugal are Eurovision's underdog imo.
Greece - always gonna qualify and well deserving of the place on final. Staging was random but I guess it was worked and was quite pretty. I love the smokiness of Katerine's voice but idk bout you but I felt like she a gargle in her throat which i really want clear.
And last but not least San Marino - this just bought a smile to my face and brings an element of fun. I for one am glad it advanced.

Overall the quality of the semi was a lot higher than I anticipated before eurovison. I thought the two women hosts were good and the younger guy (Azi?) was alright but the old guy was very unfunny and awkward.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to find him creepy especially the tie thing at the start

Sorry but I didn't see any question mark

[kastrix89]

In my original post I asked did anyone actually like it from the first listen? I no alot of people have had to listen to it loads to appreciate it. Ppl at home and Jury's here it once. There not necessarily eurovision fans like us. Anyway I'm not going to bother to comment no more on this issue as I'm not coming across as a villain. Others are aloud to call songs trash and are left alone but me it's different. That's fine.

Portugal didn't qualify because Europe is tasteless and that's the tea

Personally I really liked it on the first listen but it grew off me over time so I'm not really that upset over it NQing. Everyone sees it differently and we could come up with logical reasons why every country NQd or would've NQd, but that doesn't mean we can't still be sad for the NQing songs that we liked.

On that note...

What if Portugal was the 11th place country (that missed out by 2 pts) that's your opinion but your in a very lonely club.... Alot of people didn't like it quite clearly. If Europe is tasteless then you must hate the ten that went through...

If other people jumped from a bridge, would you do the same? Jesus Christ. No one should call any entry, any country trash. Getting into this mindset is the wrong way and you just offend everyone by trying to stubbornly attack the Portuguese artist and song.
