event Eurovision Song Contest 2023 | Loreen does it again!

[Duanielipa]

You could barely hear Finland it sounded like 90% backing vocal

[Hurem]

The only ones that I liked were Switzerland, Azerbaijan and Netherlands  Three countries that I was sure they were not qualifying

The only one that impressed me (compared to expectations) was switzerland 

Absolutely not, seeing the fireworks fall down like they’re missiles/gun shots while they’re all doing choreography about bodybags

[WalkAway]

Oh yeah, Switzerland was also good. Now i lowkey want him in the final.

Okay the camera work during Tattoo... 

This was so sad to see. It looked very amateur. It ruined Finland a bit too.

 

Although I feel better about Israel now. It looks better than I expected.

 

And damn, the Mehtherlands is awful this year. Those two can't sing. Their last 3 entries were so much better.

The camera work for Norway, Israel and Sweden  

Serbia being a hot ass mess as expected. I will cry tears of joy when he's on his flight back home on Wednesday.  

[khalyan]

God Serbia is an absolute trainwreck

 

Portugal kinda had the best clip

[Funhouse]

Rotterdam 2021 we miss you!

[kimberly]

for me Malta was a surprise, I really enjoyed that.

out of Finland, Sweden and Israel, I feel like all three were underwhelming a bit but Israel was hindered the least (probably because we haven't even seen any full performance for the song yet lol).

why did Latvia choose those 30 seconds for the recap  I want them in the final so badly

[Fevesy]

I was lucky that when I tuned in Serbia already happened. I rewatched and

This looks so cheap for ESC.   It doesn't really feel like Eurovision. It's Brit awards all over again.

Y’all can’t be fr  Serbia had one of the most polished clips there

It’s more his voice and stage presence that impressed me especially when compared to acts like Malta and Serbia that came before it.  Not a big fan of the song so didnt have high expectations.

Why do you think she had autotune on her mic during the pre-parties? 

[Fevesy]

It's the standard lightning and filter, welcome to British television. 

 

I'm sure they'll adjust it for the actual show as this is just the rehearsals. 

[Cheap Thrills 9.0]

All these over-optimistic descriptions on eurovision.tv and on camera most of these performances look poor...

[Funhouse]

I'm not against pre-recorded backing vocals if they're actually BACKING vocals, but Käärijä is barely singing
