Azerbaijan, omg tearing down firewalls lol

also are they on boats

the hosts are reminding me of the awkward Azerbaijan Charlie's angels haha;

I'm not missing the LED screen

Albania, well done for not singing in English!!

Iceland was very.. young? not enough body despite the high note
but Albania has a much better rounded body

dang Albania's ending is nice

Belgium's got a nice start! owning the stage despite the quiet song!

she looks so ethereal, although lol see through skirt has made it out of Asia

Czech Republic, what. you look so young! song is... a bit too eclectic for my liking...

Lithuania! the postcard has wind farms in the bg

ooohhhh first bare feet?

I like this! quiet song with simple but elegant piano! her voice really shines

OK no LED but yes hologram. it's still elegant though

Israel detours from normal body image standards and uh, idk if I like the welcome cats at the back

her makeup and get up screams weeabu but wow her vocals

like it's great and the school noises are great but I'm still sad about what Israel is doing Palestine

OMG BELARUS HOW MUCH MORE MELODRAMATIC CAN YOU GET LIKE

what what's with the Rose arrow through the palm?!!!?!

ARE YOU OK? ALSO WTF WITH THE ROSE PETALS SUPERIMPOSED ON SCREEN JUST NOW

operatic number! from ESTIIIII

I think this is a defs for wind machine

her voice gives me goose bumps! I dig it!

singing in... Italian? is this popera? I DIG IT I WANT IT IN THE FINALS

I miss Sam and Julie though...

Bulgaria is up!

you can see the Alfredian influence immediately

one of them looks like Jarrad lol

hmm the harmonising didn't work

wow uh cool female costume? are they actually harmonising? where's the goosebumps?

OK last notes are redeeming

fyr Macedonia! I like the beat! although what's with the jump from the opening to body

the pink dress looks like it's on back to front >>

back up singers! take a sip!

costume change! anther sip!

and a retrospective sip for projector dress for opera piece

hmm the harmonising still a little off... tech problem?

Croatia! lots of makeup!

what a dress too! not too sure if I dig the song though...

it's putting me to sleep at 6am...

Austria! wow floating torso

his bottom half appears!

tech reference about search bubbles, better than fire wall of the first song?

listenable but not special? also why are diaper pants in fashion?

greeeeceee

slip casting!

uh, take a sip for the tin flute?

she looks so Greek in her getup and wow the blue hand

take another sip for strong drums?

another for non English song?

another for the fire show!

strong choreography!

I am loving the Greek choir!

huh, commentators thought white dress is worth a sip?

Tino sent a belter!

daaaaaaaang singing powerfully up side down!

a sip for the wheel! another for sexy back up dancers shit those men's low front suit

I'm really digging this. Good luck Tino!!

the whole set is reminding me of that Finnish play I saw in Stockholm though

first good commentary? "byo diving"

Armenia next!

not English yaaayyyy

yeah he's got lumberjack vibes. lyrics with nature in it helps. violin backing also helps?

and the half quilted top?

light change, is that worth a sip?

the dry ice I though is worthy of one!

30 stage hands are running on stage to change between acts... wow

Switzerland!

the rock element is... idk not Brit but... alt American maybe?

she looks like a cowboy though!

wow flare torch! audience engagement!

bubble flakes, take a sip!

the song became really strong from staging

Cyprus!

what a sway in her step! how do you swing your hair like that though

nice dance moves I guess?

she sounds and moves like shakira

but less... wholesome?

fire show! take a sip!

yeah I can see how Jess malboy can get whiplash from her hair swishes

OK counting white dresses and tops
5.5
and black?
7.5

ahahaha the paper ballots is just like the Australian ballot

OK despite the cheese the first song had good harmonies? her loin cloth dress is distracting though as she stands on boats

did they start with her because of the nautical theme?!

Macedonia is nice

retro sip for fireworks for Finland!

awwwe dammit irelandddd it's so sweet

also sunrise outside!

the perelas are cute...

also the lights behind them are cool I mean sure it's not a screen but it's similar

the UK has a strong entry!
