I've been listening to Grito since it won the Festival da cançao and it just keeps growing on me. For me, it's among the best five songs of this year and I don't see any reason why it should not qualify.

Me too, I think iolanda is a strong female voice and honestly I am very very glad they kept the same concept but even more upgraded. Portugal climbed also in the odds since yesterday which shows that it’s been seen more now :)

@@georgikanevESC I'm so curious about how it will look like on the stage in Malmö. I was quite underwhelmed with the staging at FdC, especially with the choreography being a bit all over the place for my taste, ngl. But I love the song so much that I honestly didn't care.

Slovenia is the winner of the day for me, she looks amazing and sounds amazing! And also Portugal really impressed me, I like that they have the white box above. I love the staging for Luxembourg as well but I want them to change the outfit for Tali Also I bet you’re very excited for Greece tomorrow 😂

Yes I kinda feel bad for not being on that boat with Australia :/ 🇦🇺 but i also wanna be honest on the video sharing my thoughts… I hope next week when I watch them live will get on that boat of liking the song very much

Someone else posted on another channel that is not what Tali will wear for the actual contest. It's very common for artists to not wear their outfit until second rehearsals or dress rehearsals. Except for Slovenia and Portugal, I was really underwhelmed by Day 2. But I have to remember we're seeing very little, and the sound quality of clips is absolute garbage. So I'll cut everyone a break.

Yes I fully agree that’s why I don’t mention the clips because they are made from a phone and they are not showing anything. Just judging what feeling the pictures give me hehe Well I really really hope Tali will change because overall the staging looks veeeery good. And if it comes between Cyprus and Luxembourg I guess Luxembourg will qualify …

There is no single favourite winner this year. The winner could be a big surprise. Predictions are only predictions. May the best performance win!

Portugal ❤❤❤soo beautiful ❤❤❤ thanks from Portugal ❤

Oh gosh I am sooo hyper, this year is now definately the best of Eurovision history, sooo much quality 🤩. I'll go 1 by 1 with my humble judging and I am already sorry for how large it's going to be, because I am not listening to you and AM going to comment about Raiven for the world to hear me 😂. - Iceland, I laughed so loud when you said the aunt thing, she DOES look like everybody's favourite aunt 😂! She really is an amazing woman and she looks fantastic. Her vocals are absolutely amazing, the staging looks really cool, it's just, the snippets for me confirm that this is not going to qualify, the song is too outdated. And she definately lookes like she's scared of heights, yes 🙃. - Finland, oh my sweet sweet Georgi, it definately makes me happy but I don't see it qualifying. I was going to say exactly those things you have said we would going to say 😂. I am sorry sweetheart but I think casual viewers will be like 😱😱😱and not positively 😂😂😂. But I really hope I am wrong, I hope for you, you love this so much that I wish it qualifies, just for you 😘. - Moldova, VERY pleasantly surprised, it looks amazing, could be a dark horse! Do find her a bit lonely on stage though, yes. Wish she will have some more people with her, not as many as in the NF but more than just her. - Australia, it didn't grow for me after seeing the images and watching the snippet. I saw they also have those cringy images of the video behind them and that's a pity. They look stunning though, I especially love Michael's suit 😍, but they all look amazing. Nevertheless, I don't see them qualifying to be honest. - Portugal, her performance and staging in the NF was already Eurovision ready and amazing, and it looks even better on this stage, so good. I can see her hypnotising the viewers and qualify. - Azerbaijan, dark horse alert! This looks amazing and I think they will be surprise qualifiers. LOVE IT! - Luxembourg, YESSSSS! Looks fantastic and I don't think this is going to be her outfit, way too simple, I think she is hiding a little surprise 😉. I definately see this slay now and to my sad conclusion, Cyprus is looking very simple next to all these slaying women 😔. And then...SLOVENIA, what can I say my dear Giogio? I CANNOT STAY QUIET 😜. LOVE LOVE LOVE, even more than I already did 😍😍😍. And yesss, she's definately HOT, you can call me whatever you want, no need to hide 😉, as a bisexual woman this lady definately makes me sweat and my husband knows it 🥵🥵🤣🤣. And you know what? It's actually not even the nudeness of her outfit, I don't want to sexualize her either, for me it could be less nude. But to me, it is the complete vibe of her performance, that "almost" kind of kiss with the female dancer. That taunting look like "doing something bad" or provoking a reaction like saying "so what, dare to judge me". That makes this woman magical, powerful and amazing to me. Many times insinuation is hotter than the real deal 😜. For me, she is definately the witch queen and I bow for her to put a spell on me 😇😉. That said, I am worried, it all looks stunning to me, but it might be too much for many people and I understand that, so not sure if her vocals and the musical masterpiece is enough to qualify, I have my doubts but I will so so die if she doesn't qualify 😭😭😭. Sorry for the large text 😇. Lovely video as always 🥰🥰🥰.

Hahahha I read now the comment and I love every single one of your observations and especially about Slovenia hahah 👏🤓 I knew it soooo soo good you will love it as much as I do. I have no idea why in the bookmakers she is will 12th and put her as non qualifier I will outrage if RAIVEN doesn’t qualify. The good part is that Finland makes you happy, I am happy with that ;) it’s enough for me. From what I read is that ebu said to all countries that on the first rehearsals they HAVE to wear their outfit that they will wear in the semi. That’s why I was so sad to see Tali like that … but maybe I am wrong we will see. About Azerbaijan I like the staging … the song I don’t … So yeah we agree on most of them actually haha :) AND I CANT WAIT TO SEE TODAY MY QUEENS KALEEN AND MARINA 💪🏻🤩🤩🤩

@@georgikanevESC You know me well 😂😂. Nevertheless, although I personally adore Raiven's look, after watching the snippet multiple times, as a teacher and mother, I think the outfit might be a bit too nude for family television. And what worries me most is that this might work against her with the "normal" people. So I wonder if she keeps it like that because sometimes a bit less is more and I would be devastated if she doesn't qualify because of her provocative look! Hahaha, Finland does make me laugh, not sure if that's positive though 🤣🤣🤣. Oh no, so these are everyone's final outfit???? Oh gosh, if that is true I have some heavy worries and some big disappointments 😰😰. In my opinion: Raiven&dancers may be a bit too nude for family tv - Finland not very flattering, nor do I believe he's a lust for the eye in that nude thong and that hairy butt 🙈😂. But of course that is his intention and I don't care, maybe they don't qualify because of that 😜- Tali boring, as you said, the dancers look better than her. I do love how she embraces her curves though, no shame, LOVE THAT - Besa not flattering and weird, which kills me becaise I know she can look AMAZING - Marina cheap looking fabric and not fitting her awesome urban/traditional style and great attitude, BUT I could live with it, it's not ugly and it won't work against her quality as an artist - Nemo not flattering and doesn't make a nice silouette, would prefer the gaint tutu. I fear that the look of the performance will be disturbed by the outfit and that they won't be taken serious. I think that within this genre of clothing they could do better - Czechia the shiny fake nipples make her gorgeous look and outfit look..."cheap". And of course I say this without wanting to offend anyone, nor wanting to be rude, everyone can dress as they like and I absolutely respect that. But in my opinion these are not the best outfits I can think of to slay with the general public and it would be such a pity if some of those don't qualify because of an outfit 😬🙈

Tali from Luxembourg hasn't revealed her outfit for the semis yet....

The only thing I disagree on is Moldova. I think for her to stand a chance of qualifying she needs to be centre of attention with her vocals and maybe more intimate camera angles and some haunting aspects - so I think she needs to be alone on stage :)

Why do (Mostly Europeans) bother going to another songs video or rehearsal clip and make it clear how boring the song is. I saw numerous comments about how disgusting it was to have a "Drag Queen" at Eurovision. Seriously, the only reason why they comment is because they feel threatened. Just sick of the hate.
