Late reaction:
AAAAHHHHHH I couldn't imagine a realistic scenario where Macedonia qualified even though I wanted it to so much, I am SO glad I was wrong about this
Of course - performance was really touching, it didn't need all the theatrics. If anything, that performance has now 100% convinced me the Netherlands are winning this year - plus it's a very good song and one of my favourites
AAAAHHHHHH [2] I was fairly certain this was going to qualify despite everyone else's doubts but you can never be 100% sure and there was that 1% in the back of my mind, so glad this qualified
meh. average, nothing special, but we all knew this was going through
a below average song that is overrated as hell. once again we all knew this was qualifying but seriously? plus the staging was really the only thing that could have made this 'wow' but even that was nothing special
One of my favourites, loved the futuristic vibe the staging was given me, fantastic song, a deserving qualifier
should've been left in the semi final and replaced with
Romania
eh
Vocal was underwhelming but that's a given with choreography. I honestly thought that with 2 qualifiers left that this might be snubbed
glad that wasn't the case. Still one of my favourites but a disappointing performance means I'll be full on cheering for other countries in the final but good luck
This was also kind of a given, a good song but I feel like the staging, while good, should've been a little different? I don't know, when I think of this song I don't think of bright fluorescent colours
A surprise - I thought this was going through but it was on the borderline. That performance was underwhelming though, and that high note was not it so when comparing this to the qualifiers it deserves not to qualify, sorry Armenia
What were they thinking with this staging? I think of road trips and long hot summers listening to this song, not a 60s diner? Staging was way off in relation to the song and the performance wasn't that great either, this is a contender for last place
The sand art is supposed to be accompanying the song, not overshadowing it. For me the performance seemed like the sand art was the main focus and the song merely accompanied it. Good concept, terrible execution (and a below average song too)
This was actually quite nice, but this stood no chance of qualifying
Staging didn't fully convince me but this was still great and better than some of the qualifiers. 100% would swap this out for Denmark
Like Latvia, actually a pretty decent performance but stood no chance of qualifying
I can't believe people actually thought this stood a chance at qualifying during the rehearsals, that staging was cringe as hell. I do feel bad for Roko though, he's a great vocalist who deserves a much better song
Like Ireland, probably the most uninspired performance of the semi but those diaspora votes will save this from finishing in the trenches
