Lithuania slays.

Croatia dropping in the odds in 3. 2. 1.

[Dutch 89,767]

Italy dropping in the odds as expected. We love karma. Again.

So I feel this first Semi Ukraine and Lithuania are the only stand outs.

Oops, I forgot about Ireland. Yeah, a slay and probably the best camera work.

I think it was awesome. Camera angles need to be tightened but I think Croatia is winning

I can't see it winning tbh. Camera angles need to be way better and if they aren't already at a 2nd rehearsal I doubt they will be for live shows + there's probably other countries that will do better in jury and televote.

Camera angles dramatically improve from 2nd rehearsal to the semi. I remember 2019 Switzerland had terrible wide shots and it was all fixed by the dress rehearsal. There’s no chance Croatia is not 1st or 2nd in the televote (Ukraine a possible contender). Plus there seem to be a lot of camera issues in all the clips except Ireland, so I doubt the over usage of wideshots and haphazard changes stay for all let alone just Croatia. Apart from camera angles, I love the staging

Nah, this ain't happening. Top 5 maybe. Croatia and NL will fight for the weird/funny entry vote from televote and I can see NL winning that fight. Ukraine will be high in televote for sure but I can't see it top 2.

Not people saying Kaarija will be on the stage with Joost. I hope not.
