If anything this running order sucks for Montenegro, not for Poland.

Interesting, I didn't think of it that way. I have my fingers crossed for Poland anyway, I expect it to qualify but you never know.

the running order situation is neither good nor terrible here, could be worse but at least we have this nice transition from 
to us
to us

Yes. I know. But I am hoping Poland will win the semi, but not now with that overrated Sweden getting the pimp slot and Montenegro coming after.

Well, the producers obviously know the result of the semifinals before making a running order for the GF. It certainly has never happened to a SF winner to get that dreaded no 2 in the final running spot since the random running order for ditched for instance.

now we can safely assume they believe in
winning the semi but i'm wondering how do they think about Krystian given the spot he's got

I take it that they saw Poland as a threat so they have to find ways to sabotage it.

Well, people were seeing something there. 1:52, I think. I remember more people on Youtube mentioning it, so maybe some comments got deleted.
Day 123 of not understanding the hype around this. I like the song for what it is, but a frontrunner? A potential semi final winner?? I don't see it and this is one of my pick for fan fave that underperforms.
As for the draw, it seems like he might be either before or after a commercial brake, so not too bad. He should be good, unless Vladana decides to sing her song instead of shouting it.

The start of this song is very promising. As is the start of the vocals. But I must say Ochman looses me pretty soon. I am not fond of the melody of the verses. And falsetto was never my thing.
But even though this is not my cup of tea i can definitely see why people enjoy this. A 6 from me.

I mean, I think this will do well in Eurovision, and I hope it does do well. Though its fate entirely relies on what they do on stage and whether Ochman can convey the song better than he did in the NF. It's all on Poland and Ochman now, not whether they perform some slots before or after the other favorites lol

I'm hooked on this song and his voice, love the lyrics as well (the king who wants to rule it all and then drowns small before the Lord, can't be more contemporary than it is).
However, I deeply regret the break after the 2nd chorus and then repetition of the refrain. Not only that it made the song "too simple" or even too repetitive, but that part of the song also needed some shift in vocal dynamics that could have sounded more soft and intimate. Instead they chose the screaming "jury" trap, which sounds uncomfortable.
Therefore, a strong 7.

Fair enough that you don´t like the song because "it´s too dramatic/theatrical" - BUT Ochman´s songs and his debut album are pretty much dramatic and theatrical.
He may look like some straight, ordinary "son-in-law material" but "River" - which he co-wrote, btw - perfectly suits his career/catalogue. It´s simply the style of his music/artistry and thus, very authentic (unlike
since we haven´t heard any original material by Nadir and the entry from Azerbaijani was penned by Scandinavian writers).

I don't understand the buzz about Ochman not being the best respresentative of his song.
To me he appears very authentic. His voice is what makes the soul of the song.
Let's not confuse somebody's looks and visual apperance with their substance. It's superficial.
We did that last year as well and punished unjustly Gjon's Tears when we saw him on rehersal 1. He is like that, appears clumsy and awkward. But he did have the best song of the contest in fact and yes, he lived his song. He wasn't fake in any sense.
