I am just watching the pre-party ... Belarus is really at the bottom of my list, but the accoustic version sounded really good! And now Ana!

Ana singing "I put a spell on you". Simply

Ana singing "I put a spell on you". Simply

It was amazing!!!

 

[mauve]

It was amazing!!!

Even Samantha - who I actually didn't like much - slayed so much in her living-room!

 

[NikolaiMoller]

I loved it when she turned down the light and performed "Euphoria" for us all

 

[NikolaiMoller]

Slovenia, Latvia, Sweden had the best "home concerts" imo

 

[mauve]

Diodato is my winner tonight. Could cry everytime I hear him sing. Beautiful.

Hhhhola Amigos! I'm screaming

And OUR community robbed her

And OUR community robbed her

Once voting break down is announced, Azerbaijan will cut oil exports to all countries who didn't award any points.

Thanks for the link for the Spanish ESC pre-party. Love that.

Overall impression (only watch certain artists):
- Samatha Tina really gives her all. I am not a fan of the song, but she really sells the song out of it. Very strong vocals.
- Ben Dolic sang the ESC edit of the song to the original studio instrumental. That's the closest we will get. This is one of the songs that I was waiting to see it with the full staging.
- Victoria did just right. Sounded almost like the studio recording.
- Gjon's Tears as usual great vocals, but I would have love to see him sing to the original studio instrumental.
- VAL is great. I just don't understand why more people didn't like the song. Actually, I can see this song getting support from the jury.
- Go_A, wow, their performance sounds like the exact studio version. Well done!
- I like artists that did their songs to the original studio recording, at least, we can get a sense how they sound 'live' in the actual competition.

And this is so sad. I feel so bad to all the artists especially those that won't get a chance to represent their countries next year. EBU should have done a full show to honour the songs and the artists (whether is it a music video, NF performance or montage video). They deserved so much more.

Absolutely agree about VAL. Just as Samantha Tina, VAL is actually at the bottom of my list, but both did just wonderful yesterday. Never thought that.
And agree about everything else you said also!

Eurovision Home Concerts - Episode 2

Welcome to the second episode of Eurovision Home Concerts. Every Friday we invite you to the living rooms of Eurovision stars. Today you can enjoy music with...

www.youtube.com

2nd episode of Eurovision Home Concert series.

General thoughts:
- I really like the version Dadi performed. The 8-bit parts are really great. And I have to say he got the best harmonies in this year's competition. The backing vocalists did such an amazing job to lift the song. And his cover for "Lipstick" is pretty good, turn such a fun song into a mysterious-sounding song.
- I really like Leonara's version and it's great to see her involving her family members to do the song with her. It's evident that she grew up in a musically-influenced family. And her voice really suit Satellite, but I don't really like her version of the arrangement though.
- Vasil got a great voice, but such a waste, he has to record such a vapid song.
- Did Gjon's Tears send the same video to the Spanish ESC Pre-party?
- Why did Vasil and Montaigne send such low quality videos to the Spanish ESC Pre-party compared to the Eurovision Home Concert series? LOL.
- Aksel and band doing social distancing. LOL.
- Jamala's cover of "Arcade", Montaigne's cover of "Repondez-moi" and Aksel's cover of "Fairytale" are pretty decent.

Thanks for that!

The detailed breakdown of the "juries" scores can be found over here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_kleine_Song_Contest
The video of the first semi here - https://tvthek.orf.at/profile/Mr-So...y-presents-Der-kleine-Song-Contest-1/14048172

I know that Cesar guy seems like a boring person, and his taste in music confirms that. Giving Israel a "2" and Georgia/San Marino a "0"? Plus rating Armenia/UK/Poland/Romania/Spain/The Netherlands over Israel. I question his entire existence.
Those who gave Israel below a "8" need their tastes checked.

And those underrating San Marino/Georgia need to have their ears checked.
Belarus is vastly underrated by everyone, it's exhausting.
