It's more about how the performers, chosen to sing the song, sell the song to the public.  You give your song to someone known to put out clunkers, you're probably going to catch that flight out of th

HOLY $#!+!  I nailed them all!  And I thought I'd get rusty after a 2-year wait. 🙃

 

I actually graded last year's songs and music videos.  I wasn't going to let the year go to waste, not knowing how well they could've done without the virus throwing a monkey wrench into everybody's plans.

 

Here is how I rated the first semifinal performances of this year (once again, as always, using 10 criteria):

 

9.57 Ukraine

9.56 Malta

9.53 Israel

9.51 Norway

9.50 Lithuania

9.49 Sweden

9.48 Russia

9.42 Cyprus

9.39 Belgium

9.32 Azerbaijan

------------------------

9.31 Slovenia

9.29 Australia

9.28 Ireland

9.26 Croatia

9.24 North Macedonia

9.23 Romania

 

When you take trance on a runaway train ride from progressive to psychedelic, you'd better be on your A-game.  There was a point where I thought Kateryna would get tongue-tied after Go_A sped it up to full psy.  I'm glad she held that last note.

 

Destiny came ready for the big league.  She entered this semi 3rd on the bookies' boards.  If Italy and France show any cracks, she could be the first Junior Eurovision champ to win the big one.  Her voice clearly defies her age (18).

 

Suffer no delusions; I thought Eden would pay the price for the current situation happening in the Middle East.  Be that as it may, that high note was the make-or-break moment in an excellent stage performance.

 

For those who don't know yet, Andreas gets his stage name (Tix) from his childhood Tourette's syndrome condition, the tics.  He was my number 7 going into this competition because of how well he told his story in his music video.  His song was already growing on me before I took a peek at his bio.

 

Obviously, being the first act on stage at this show, the Roop were my benchmark for this night.  I have to say, that crazy dance reminded me of this...

They are my #10 overall.  Lithuania is the only Baltic country without a title.  If they have to sing this early again, winning will be problematic.  But then again, look who were in the top 5 on the bookies' boards before the show started.

 

Showmanship and a very strong voice leave no doubt as to why Tusse (Tousin Michael Chiza) was a blowout winner at Melodifestivalen.  Will that and a dark stage be enough to keep Sweden in the top 10?  He was my #12 overall and the bookies' #11 before Monday's jury competition.

 

Tell a good story (and quite an intriguing story after the translation), put on a good stage show, and you become a contender; or, in Russia's case, remain a contender.  Manizha was before this contest. my #12

 

I've heard the song many times now, and I'm still wondering if Elena is talking about a wild boyfriend or a cocktail (or both; there is a cocktail named El Diablo).  She did not try to do what Eleni Foureira (2018) or Tamta (2019) did; she did her own thing.

 

Geike Arnaert was Hooverphonic's 4th lead vocalist, from 1997 to 2008.  When the group was selected for this contest last year, Luka Cruysberghs was the lead (their 6th), for the song "Release Me", which I thought would have qualified for the final.  This year, before the contest, just after Geike's return to the group for "The Wrong Place", they were my #34 and a likely non-qualifier.  Bookies thought so, too.  But amid all the CGI and (non-cultural) fancy clothing, absolutely nothing beats an O.G. stage setup when it is done right!  With the band and background singer covering all 4 corners, and Geike in the middle, on a dark stage with screen images that look like they came from a VHS player, this is as old-school as you can get.  They deserved to qualify.

 

It takes more than a run-of-the-mill dance routine to qualify.  The Roop gave us something we have rarely (if ever) seen.  Efendi and her backups, we've seen that many times before.  Her qualification was definitely song-and-music-driven.

 

As for the non-qualifiers, in this semifinal it comes down to (1) the qualifiers having better stage performances, and (2) the unfortunate hard luck of having better songs last year and never getting a chance to present them on stage.  Five of the 6 (with the exception of Croatia) are holdovers from last year's roster; and in my evaluations of last year's songs and videos, I figure that Romania, Slovenia, Australia and North Macedonia would have qualified with last year's songs.  Roxen, in particular, had lots of trouble trying to stay on key.

 

What remains to be seen is if my order of ranking is in the same order as the scores from the contest.  We'll obviously find out on Sunday.

the best thing was that Israel qualified into the finals when no one gave us a chance regarding the situation here.. but that high note from Eden was everything. 

the best thing is she just managed to break the record of the highest note/octave sung in the competition (B6). 

🇮🇱:clap:
