Hi Everyone and thank you for watching 🥰 Did any of the stagings for the big 5 surprised you ???

[@michelledehaen8997]

The biggest surprise was the UK for me, woooooooow what a staging, those visuals, artwork, teasing, well done Olly and his team !!!!! Congrats to Isaak too, also a big elevation of the song and with his incredible voice he will stand out much more !!!!! Over all good job for the big 5 and Sweden, they are back in the game❤❤💥💥💯💯👌👌

I like uk’s concept, this should be like an MV on the screen. I LOVE the 80’s disco aesthetics of Spain, fits the song so much. Sweden did what they had to do, transport their staging to a bigger stage and they are good to go 👍 The Italian staging is beautiful. All this baroque thing gives the southern Italy vibes. France and Germany just ok, nothing special.

[@1963Victory]

Thank you for your honest and positive commentary for Germany

Thank youuuu ❤️

I like the outfits in Italy's performance, but the staging seems very dark and Baroque, at least in the few shots we've seen, and doesn't quite fit the song for me. La Noia feels like something one would hear at a summer festival, so I was expecting brighter colors. For example, I really like the use of light blue in the music video, which contrasts better with the darker clothing.

[@Kostis_ESC]

Hmmm I see what you mean. It feels very Mediterranean and therefore summer comes in mind. But I really like these aesthetics which are very Latino as well with all these flowers. So for some reason they make sense to me. But of course we have to see the whole performance!!!

[@Toma-bn6zs]

@@Kostis_ESC Yes, we need to see this in motion, and I look forward to seeing the entire performance.

When they announced that Olly will be representing UK, my reaction was "Who?" 😅 Then i googled and realised I maybe heard few songs in the radio but never payed too much attention. Than the song dropped and I was less than unimpressed, I even texted friends that UK will be last again... But than I really started developing warmer feeling for Ollie through all the interviews and his stage persona, i admited to everyone that he has a really nice voice. And than I saw those snippets from rehersal and it blew my socks off!!! I love it, cant wait to see full experience, I'm rooting for Olly! Italy is really good but not good enough to win in my opinion and everyone else from Big 6 for me is just not my cup of tea.

[@Kostis_ESC]

I was telling everyone about Olly and you noone would listen to meeee! He's such a big artist with such a big team. There was no way they wouldn't do something impressive onstage! Can't wait to see the whole thing 😻

Kostis, Great travel to Mälmo.

[@andrzejicons3745]

Hi Kostis!. It's true that everyone looks at Eurovision differently. Ultimately, I want good songs, but I also look at the staging. I see that I am not objective towards Poland, where I come from. It's not my taste but I support it. I have mood swings towards Luna. You probably see it objectively. My top: Switzerland, Greece, Ukraine, Norway, Portugal, UK. I like Greece very much, but I don't like the staging:) Sorry:)) I liked France, but I'm over it. Top big 5: Uk, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Sweden. In fact, sometimes I listen to the UK, then France, and Spain equally. I almost don't listen to Italy at all, and I don't listen to Sweden and Germany at all. The UK gives me the most emotions

[@Kostis_ESC]

That's fair! As you said everyone sees it differently! I am not sure about Greece's staging too but I want to see more because they chose to show us just the bridge of the song. Hopefully they are hiding something! And Italy is one of the songs that I listen to the most!! But that's great! It means that there is something for everyone ❤️

[@healthytrout]

Ollie is giving toxic vibes, love the aesthetic though

[@magaliehadjisotiri9255]

Love the French song ❤

[@Kostis_ESC]

Me too 😍

[@146helen]

I'm from Spain and I prefer Germany's song than France 😮😮, maybe he should were the same outfit of Croatia or Switheland to get more points 😅😅

My top 6 1. Spain 2. Italy 3. Sweden 4. Germany 5. France 6. UK

[@OlivierSteinier]

Hi kostis. Olivier us great but Italy did it too much on my point of view. Too much info

[@Kostis_ESC]

Hello Olivier! I understand that the aesthetics from Italy are busy and they are not for everyone, but I really enjoy them 😁

[@sasat6669]

Hi Kostis, sweetie, I am disappointed none of these staging convinced me. Except for Spain, but that has to do with the fact that I love the song. It's the feeling that Nebulossa brings. The colors, just everything. It's iconic for me. Sweden is "living in the box" for me. But a well-produced pop song. Germany has a staging, okay, for me Isaak scores with his voice and not fire on stage. Slimane too exaggerated for me, especially the kneeling at the beginning or the end. Italy is too confusing for me. The outfit in the background. UK is the worst for me, such a lousy, dirty shower. It's not dancing, it's checking if I'm going to the sauna with him. I personally find it frightening that something like that enhances a song and has nothing to do with the ESC. Sweden won for me with this performance. The absolute NO GO was Olly Alexander.Big 5 and Sweden 1. Spain 🇪🇸 2. Germany 🇩🇪 3. France 🇫🇷 4. Sweden 🇸🇪 5. Italy 🇮🇹 6. United Kingdom 🇬🇧

[@Kostis_ESC]

Hellooo! I think you are a bit strict! I think that all of them did a great job and everyone has their own style but upgraded and I'm happy because they are trying their best. As for the UK, I understand that this is not for everyone. But this imagery has been in the Gay culture for many generations and I think it's something that has never been done in Eurovision. Not all gay culture is about glitter. So I really appreciate what Olly is doing.

[@Kostis_ESC]

You are also very strict with Germany! It doesn't show in the video but in the pictures that were published, the stage looked beautiful!!

[@sasat6669]

@@Kostis_ESC Kostis it's nothing to do with me not appreciating people, but I don't like the way the ESC is going at the moment. It's no longer ESC Eurovision SONG Contest it's SHOW. I like to hear the songs but not more and more dance breaks etc.

[@Kostis_ESC]

@@sasat6669 well I always loved the show. That's how I got to know Eurovision so I really enjoy it!! I'm also a performer so what thrills me the most is the moment of the performance the staging etc ! So I guess we all love Eurovision for different reasons. And there are a lot of songs without dance breaks that you can enjoy 😊

[@mauromauro10]

Non capisco quali siano le priorità in una valutazione. Le canzoni sono composte da parole e musica da emozioni, vibrazioni sentimenti. Qua guardate solo outfit e amenità che poco hanno a che fare con la musica. Forse meglio star fuori da sto circo che alla fine mortifica i veri artisti. Vediamo comunque quale sarà il giudizio delle giurie e del voto popolare. Saluti.

[@esc1074]

I dont get the boxing theme by the UK/Olly or better said Olly/UK. It feels very farfetched unless "dizzy" is being associated with a knock out. Sorry not meant as disrespect but for me it just doesnt make sense. It feels a forced attempt trying to be different

[@Kostis_ESC]

Well I can't give you a response to that because we have to watch the full performance first. But I like what I see so far.
