Sweden usually put a big challenger song in Heat 1 so then everyone can think does xxx in heat 4 have a song to beat it.Looks like it might not be like that this year,unless there is something here they want in the final so an easy heat.
Doesnt it just make you happy when we have Lith and Norway heats, 45 years since i first watched ESC and love it still ,what a gift,Lith really good quality as usual,they will win it one year im sure of that.
I think its set up for Ulrikke, but Tiril should do ok.You might get 3 minutes,you might get 2 x 3 minutes :LOL: ,Alessandra is very dangerous on the televote as well ,very high energy.
Ulrikke should win easily.The song is designed for ESC not MGP or radio.You can even see where they have the gaps for the camera sweeps across the crowd,the long shots,the close in,even the golden curtain etc.I suspect they will have to improve some of it though.Holograms etc would work well for...
Agree,Elsie's song is horrible,would be a terrible ESC entry.Sandra was far superior.Likely the producers are giving Ulrikke an easier run in the final .Her song sounds and is a bit disjointed in MGP,but its designed for the lighting and staging etc at ESC.Producers often get an ESC song then...
Ruta wouldnt qualify,zero from ESC juries,very little televotes.Paulina likely just enough.I like the Lith selection,decent across the board,but nothing that goes above the needed levels to do well.Juste would be bottom 10 if she qualified.
What i thought was a lovely ESC selection semi,but with nothing that would do well at ESC.Its always that fine line between a great show for us ESC fans and locals and the quality needed to fire the votes in on May 13th.Ruta is terrible for ESC,really low rent.
Lithuania for me has had some of the best selections of the last several years.You can see the quality growing.The shows themselves have really grown as well.Likely the quality and depth is tempting backers given lots of very weak selections we have so far in other countries.Lith will win an ESC...
