I suppose they have the right but I would have expected quality as usual, not this cheap trick. The song at least seems less cheesy than Heroes but right now looking at what went through in Semi 1 once again it does stand in bottom 3 of the less artistically talented acts of this year so far)

How many am I allowed? 
--> Favorite of the semi for least favorite of the semi - no connection; just how I'm going to fit them in.
--> For spectacle, I'd rather have the super kitschy .
--> The performance felt like it had a lot more energy and heart to it than Malta did last night.
--> hit more than 1 note out of her first 78. Azerbaijan making it was still good for the lulz, though.
--> The gentlemen felt like they cared a lot more about their song and its subject matter than Douwe.
--> Lidia sang her lungs out and earned the "THAT QUALIFIED?!" spot a lot more than Zoe did. Should've sent Quel Filou, Austria! NONO
In case [MENTION=15040]GianlucaTomoe[/MENTION] comes back, NB that I've only replaced men for men and women for women

>> I do like Slow Down but Sing It Away slayed so hard. Sandhja was amazing.
>> I don't know what everyone sees in this. I got bored by the Czech performance, even if Gabriela is a very talented vocalist. Lidia put her heart and soul into her three minutes and apparently surprised everyone with how good she was.
>> No idea how Zoe qualified after her performance, which was another boring one for me. I felt like Iceland's staging was done very well, even if I'm getting sick of the projections. Iceland did it well though, which is why I am not complaining so much.
>> Sergey felt flat. The whole projection staging is just getting boring now whilst the Bosnian group hasd a wonderful production and reeked of emotion when singing. They deserved a place in the final.

With only one listen of the songs of semi 1, I would have made the following changes:
=> In terms of pop songs, I found Moldova way less pretentious and boring than Malta, even if none of them are masterpieces.
=> : yeah, Slow Down annoyed me at first listen (congrats!) and Montenegro was so great tbh, they deserved MORE!
I don't know who else I would kick out yet, but San Marino sounded like a grower to me, it was musically interesting.

--> Kaliopi delivered a much less contrived, more fearless song and performance than Israel. --> I'll take Slovenia's so-fail-it's-charming sass over Bulgaria's, which I just found rather obnoxious. --> Because Barbra Streisand >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Celine Dion. --> In terms of contemporary-sounding electropop, I'll take Norway because 1) Agnete outsang Justs by a considerable margin and 2) the song had a lot more life to it - it felt and was communicated to be a lot more easily listenable. --> No specific parallels - I just had only one song left that I wanted out and one that I wanted in, so...
