My ratings from the 1st semi final
Disclaimer: these are MY opinions according to MY preferences. You're free to disagree, I promise it's ok if I didn't like the song you liked
1. Iceland 5/10. It was ok. Fun enough that it wasn't bad, but not very memorable except for the Minecraft
2. Poland 7.5/10. It was reeeeaaaally good. The song, the visuals, just everything. Maybe slightly too busy, and it wasn't one that I'll be obsessed with forever, but it was great.
3. Slovenia 5.5/10. Listen, it was quite emotional. But it was also too simple. It was lacking in general.
4. Estonia 8.5/10. Have been listening to it on repeat. Everything was amazing
5. Spain 6.5/10. It was good, it was fun. But that's all it was
6. Ukraine 8/10. I loved it, it was absolutely amazing. I don't understand all the hate Ukraine is getting. Also been listening on repeat.
7. Sweden 8/10. I was unsure about it at first, bit it grew on me very quickly. Also listening on repeat
8. Portugal 7.5/10. For once my country sends an amazing song. I love it, but did notice some parts where it was lacking in the performance
9. Norway 7/10. Was good, better than good. Not mind-blowing but I'll still be listening to it often
10. Belgium 4/10. Sorry, it was too much and too little at the same time.
11. Italy 7/10. I liked it, genuinely. I get that the style isn't everyone's cup of tea, it's not mine exactly either, but I still liked it.
12. Azerbaijan 5/10. It had potential I think. I even kinda liked some parts of it. But it wasn't very good
13. San Marino 5.5/10. It was kinda fun in the moment. But, idk. Just no.
14. Albania 6.5/10. It was pretty good. I feel like it lacked somewhat, but it wasn't bad. Could have been better
15. Netherlands 6/10. Look the song was good, but it's so noty style. So not memorable, idk
16. Croatia 6.5/10. I kinda liked it. Wasn't my favourite, but it was good
17. Switzerland 6,5/10. It was good, but idk if it was all the camera weirdness it didn't feel good. Which I know isn't fair for the contestant because it was literally not her fault. I might change my mind in the final
18. Cyprus 3/10. Yawn, boring, being a fit gym bro isn't enough to get my attention, and the song didn't have much going for it. If you spend most of the song hoping it will end asap, it's not good, I'm sorry.
Again these are MY opinions. I know many people disagree, and that's ok, we all have different tastes
