Eurovision Semi-Final 1 2022: N's thoughts
Semi-final 1 (10.05.22.)
1: Ronela Hajati - Sekret (Albania)
Nice beat! Danceable. But... chorus is a bit of a let-down. :( Hahaha I love the hairspin though
2: Citi Zēni - Eat Your Salad (Latvia)
XDDDD "Being green is cool / Eat your salad, save the planet!" I'm xDDDD Thank you for making me laugh, Latvia. I mean. This could even be catchy?! xDDD
3: Monika Liu - Sentimental (Lithuania)
Ooh language bonus! I like her hair LOL it's cute. The song is pretty nice, although I'm not sure the chorus grabs me enough.
4: Marius Bear - Boys Do Cry (Switzerland)
Oh I like the look. Song's kinda cute but not really hitting.
5: LPS - Disko (Slovenia)
Ooh! Language bonus! Funky funky. Once again, though, not sure if the chorus is really hitting. Might need some more listens, though, cause I do like the funky vibe
6: Kalush Orchestra - Stefania (Ukraine)
Strong beginning! And language bonus! UKRAINIAN RAP!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah I like this. It's fun! Not what I was expecting given their name LMAO but that is not a bad thing!
7: Intelligent Music Project - Intention (Bulgaria)
Ooh guitars! Not bad, not bad. Might grow on me
8: S10 - De diepte (The Netherlands)
Language bonus! Chorus is kinda ehh though. Provided a great opportunity for a toilet break though, thx
9: Zdob și Zdub and Advahov Brothers - Trenulețul (Moldova)
OH YEAH ZDOB SI ZDUB!! So good to see them back again, they're always such fun. I'm dancin'!!
10: Maro - Saudade, saudade (Portugal)
She has a nice voice. Pretty good, pretty good! Might grow on me.
11: Mia Dimšić - Guilty Pleasure (Croatia)
IDEK why that guy just standing there staring made me laugh but it did LOL. Hmm it's kinda nice... another potential grower?
12: Reddi - The Show (Denmark)
Not bad, not bad! Decent chorus. OOooooHH getting more upbeat?! "You never followed, and now you're blocked" LMAO eternal mood. I think I kinda like it? KEY CHANGE!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
13: Lumix feat. Pia Maria - Halo (Austria)
Ooh nice pigtails! Oh yeah! Nice chorus! Me likey!! Danceable!! Good!!! Awww she was so excited at the end, so cute
14: Systur - Með hækkandi sól (Iceland)
Yessss Icelandic! Ooh I'm liking the atmosphere. This is very pretty and calming... me likey
15: Amanda Georgiadi Tenfjord - Die Together (Greece)
That title... That Escalated Quickly. Ooooh this feels dark? 'Hide and Seek' vibes at the beginning there. Me likey? ... Oh yeah, that chorus hits. Greece you done good. Goosebumps
16: Subwoolfer - Give That Wolf a Banana (Norway)
That title is... intriguing. xD; "Not sure you have a name so I will call you Keith" LMAO. AHAHAHAHA THAT CHORUS WHAT THE FUCK. I AM DEAD FROM BAFFLED LOL. LMFAO THEY'RE LITERALLY SINGING 'YUM YUM YUM YUM' WHAT THE FUCK NORWAY I CANNOT BREATHE
17: Rosa Linn - Snap (Armenia)
... It's okay. ... Wait, were the live audience unable to see her that whole time until the rip?? LOL
Faves: Ukraine, Moldova, Iceland, Greece, and Norway. Shoutouts to Denmark, Latvia, and Austria
OooOOOhhh France are singing in Breton this year?! Niiiice! I'm surprised, I thought they were rather fond of singing only in French. Ooooh and that song sounds right up my alley too!! Hell yeah!
Mahmood is back for Italy! Song sounds interesting too!
All my top faves went through, although sadly all my shoutouts got Left Behind in the Semi-Finals. I think that's a pretty good result, though! Let's see what awaits us in the next Semi-Final, on Thursday!!
