Nailed it
Czechia
Vocally one of the best of the night! Got chills while being taken on a journey. This performance hits the soul. It has been underrated all season, but will SHINE during the semi-final!
Bulgaria
Dara nailed it! As an overall package can see her get jury points. The performance is high energy and best overall choreography of the year!!
Lifted for the juries
Denmark
This was almost, almost a "nailed it", but a few shaky vocal moments has it in lifted for juries. Don't get me wrong this performance is FRICKEN GOOD!! Overall the performance is a glow up from the national final. Its slick, tighter camera shots, polished yet it still has that raw aesthetic! Love the minty hue!
Romania
As an overall package this works! The crowd reaction is big on this one. Alexandra did go for a high note. Can see the televote go for this, and also pick up votes from jury.
Latvia
Cannot fault this vocally. There is a lot of jury bait in Latvia's performance and she looks stunning.
Could be a struggle with juries
Cyprus
Energy to the max! Antigoni looks stunning, the staging looks great! Vocally she sounded strained. Might not get as much attention from the jury as I would have expected. Would the televote be more forgiving, we will have to wait and see.
Azerbaijan
As an overall package it felt like something was lacking. Nice change adding Azeri lyrics, but that wasn't enough. It was missing a "je ne sais quoi".
