I know you all have been waiting for days now. Admittedly, I've been feeling burned out, so it was a little hard to get motivated doing contest stuff, but today, I got that burst of adrenaline to get this over with. Thank you for your patience. I really appreciate you all.
SF1:
A deserved qualification. Welcome back to NNMC, Aless.
One of the stronger recent Korean bops. Deserved qualification.
It's so wholesome to see this pair of countries qualify together.
YES. <333
Yes.
Such nice, classy act. Pleased to see this be Qatar's first appearance in the final.
Definitely a safe qualifier. Couldn't see it NQ tbh. Well done.
What a banger. Congrats on qualifying.
----------
In this semi, I saw this as borderline. It was competent enough to qualify imo, but alas this is how things went.
All underwhelming for songs in their respective genres.
I could not see a path for them qualifying unfortunately... maybe Bulgaria could, but it was slim.
Probably the closest to what I'd consider robbed in this semi, but I knew it wouldn't broadly appeal to everyone.
It's fun... for a little bit. I wasn't hooked.
Wow. Upon typing these comments, I realize there wasn't any real injustice among the NQ's imo. I guess this semifinal's results are satisfactory.
SF2:
Among this field of semifinalists, this was among that stood out, so I think the qualification is deserved. Congrats, Luiri.
July Jones always brings something promising musically, and this song is no exception. Congratulations on qualifying!
Well-produced, polished, cool. I get why it qualified. Congratulations.
A final-worthy banger.
Your recent robberies have been avenged. I'm pleased to see you qualify for the first time with Nigeria, Sinny.
Definitely a solid qualifier.
What's this? A qualification streak? Well done!
Yes!
It's nice to see Croatia qualify since I don't see it in the final so often. Congrats.
----------
Honestly, another borderline for me. It's interesting to listen to, but not quite a huge standout.
Kinda typical. For a club track, it feels filler.
Aww... I was hoping it would've qualified. But I'm also not surprised. It's a little mellow.
The song was called "Play," but I didn't feel engaged. Instead of peaks and valleys, it was a flat field.
It's very sweet, but not very competitive.
Netta had better songs in the past.
I knew this was coming eventually. It was a great qualification streak what it lasted. Thanks to the people who voted for Philippines!
Kinda borderline for me, but I was more confident with it not qualifying.
A banger that served. Sad it didn't make it through.
SF3:
Decent qualifiers.
Definitely deserved qualifications.
YES. <333
Well done on qualifying.
Unlike last edition, this one definitely deserves to qualify. Congratulations!
----------
Even with a different timeslot, I did not think it would qualify.
I kinda forgot about these.
It's nice, but not incredible.
ROBBED. So robbed. Just as I thought I've been jaded by Jaguar's songs, she comes out with this great song. I'll miss this in the final.
Too laid back.
It's certainly unique relative to other Italian entries, but it failed to stand out in this semifinal overall.
Other than the fact that Salvador Sobral actually got submitted into a contest, it's not remarkable otherwise.
Song's okay. Definitely a borderline. It was an either/or, but it fell to the NQ side.
