JESC 2022

[Mainshow]

I will definitely be voting for as well

Maybe I will swith to (and not vote for or again).

was alright - the rap was ridiculous but hey... maybe some kids will like it?

is not my cup of tea either - I think that this song would have suited a 17-19 year-old guy a bit better? Or do children under 14 years old really call other girls/women "Senorita" in Spain?

The Spanish song really needed a better chorus, the whole song felt a bit one note to me, not much progression - cannot deny his talent and performance skills though, in a few more years, he'll be an absolute superstar!

Mmh - I didn´t really "love" the UK performance and I´m not quite sure if it´s still a contender for victory.

I think that we´ve seen better performances today (especially )

Song 12: United Kingdom - Another lively, catchy song. It's difficult for me to give an unbiased opinion of the UK's entry, but anyway, compared to the other lively entries, it's a bit middle of the road. Hopefully the UK can get a top 10 placing.

2007 (Kids Version)?

Yeah it's clear the lack of rehearsal of the live performance on the stage has had an effect. She did well though, still Top 10 for sure I'd say, but there are definitely stronger performances so far.

Song 13: Portugal - What on Earth, in the world, is this? Some bits seem like an attempt at a ballad, whereas other bits are more like hard rock. What a mish-mash. Portugal are adventurous sending this, but I think this is doomed for failure.

 

[Zeus]

Dunno why I'm watching this right now, but yeah, and were the best imo. Georgia the best (vocal) performance, Portugal the most outstanding and creative to me.

2007 (Kids Version)?

Maybe, but I still really like . The kid has got a natural killer confidence, he could go far one day

 

[Leydan]

I'm at work so not watching, but its interesting people here saying UK was lackluster but what I've seen on twitter is the total opposite.

I´ll keep my fingers crossed for another great result for the UK in a Eurovision event.

But I don´t see it as a hot favourite to win the contest anymore.
Hopefully, I´m wrong - but I don´t think it was a performance kids/teenagers and jury members would be falling for (?) - in recent years, either well-executed pop songs which could have been successful at the adult version of Eurovision or colourful/joyful/kids-friendly up-tempo songs won....

Even though the UK entry is still well-produced and competive, I was missing the energy other live performers brought to the stage today.

I mean, that´s why we viewers can vote BEFORE and AFTER the live performance... I hope, I´m wrong - but I´m afraid that the UK will get their most points due to the "pre-contest-online votes"...

Song 14: Serbia: It's a pity Katarina is unable to sing live this afternoon, on medical grounds, but at least her rehearsal performance can still be used. This is quite a nice ballad, and well sung. I like the use of red and blue, plus the stars, on the background screen, but what's the significance of the stage sculpture? This could do well.

 

[Mainshow]

was really such a surprise.

Like last year, I didn´t like it at first but it somehow totally surprised me on stage.

What an interesting voice!

 

[goncalovieira]

Oh wow. Quite surprised with our performance. Really good!
This JESC is surprising to me. Very well produced, good songs. It is going to be hard to define the top 16.

 

[Zeus]

Did the Qami Qami girl already perform?

 

[NemesisNick]

Song 15: Armenia - The host entry now, and the penultimate song in the line-up. This is another lively, catchy song, with a good dance routine. This could do well, just for being particularly memorable so close to the end.

 

[theditz83]

Host country has a massively pimp slot in this running order after and definitely. This is very much Melodifestivalen from the mid 00s though... And for that reason, my brain is understandably lapping it up

 

[HayashiM]

Still not the biggest fan of 's song, but I'd say Nare has sold it the best from all the uptempos...

Could be just us here having super high expectations
