i can see Israel winning, and Germany hosting it on their behalf next year, i even might know a possible host then, singer-songwriter Gil Ofarim, who won the german lets dance, he's half israeli-german, and i would opt for Koln as next host city then, bit of a rosenmontag inspired opening ceremony parade with a wagon for each competing nation in their flag colours, lots of beer for the eurofans, opening and interval acts wise i'd say quite many schlager acts to bring the party, lighten the mood, and some israeli acts too, germany has definitely become a lot more friendly to israel over the years trust me

i hope UK will withdraw for good soon, if they keep ignoring what i want to see from them


i hope Switzerland will NQ but that won't happen sadly, nothing can go wrong for the swiss this year sadly

Armenia i love Jaklin's personality, such a vibe and a great staging very ethnic



today: San Marino Estonia Netherlands Israel

Greece!!! good staging


Switzerland Nemo: well they are oozing sesame street vibes with that fluffy chicken


Croatia Baby Lasagna i like, ''Prince Franz'' similarity of royal vibes, Franz is from Sissi, that royal costume i find it look similar to

Mommy Hera in gold


Malta's Sarah, well no slomo clone thankfully, looks like an expensive staging, also i'm doing better now than few days ago on wiwibloggs, more thinking before i post, and mostly positivity or with more good sense of light humour

i am not posting on wiwibloggs comments section anymore now, jeez some are so toxic


btw you have that escforum account still, join us pls, that forum is really lots of fun, plenty of fan contests too, Outernatia easy to start, once you set up your own nation

plenty of members there too, we also discuss Intervision Song Contest return in a separate subforum

yes

Tali is luxembourgish too you know, not just israeli roots, also first peruvian in ESC


Icelandic people made the right choice not to go with that western parody troll but to go with a easy listening bop from a very experienced and charismatic performer


Israel song is ok, very kelly clarkson, mariah carey-ish in terms of strong vocals, strong message a proper female empowerment message instead of a peace ballad and the hebrew parts are stunning


so much native language too this year we are being spoiled by so much musical diversity

some people not ranking Iceland, Azerbaijan, Israel, Luxembourg




i myself will listen to all participating songs, and am looking forward to the last song reveal, what Fahree (and Ilikan) have in store for us, seems that they go very ethnic, so Fahree maybe one azeri word ''diyar'' but Ilikan does the Mugham bits
