Special Guest: Luke White | Eurovision 2024 Semi Finals and Winner Predictions and Wishes

[@Kostis_ESC]

Hi Everyone and thank you for watching 🥰 So Luke is my last guest before the rehearsals start and therefore your last chance to tell us your thoughts on the class of 2024!!! Let us know what you think in the comments ❤

[@Lukeovision]

Thank you for having me! Always a pleasure, and our energies just match 🤩🤩

[@ar50000]

Except that Kostis is not wearing a baby-blue baby grow! 😂

[@Kostis_ESC]

Always a pleasure to talk with youuuuu 🥰❤️

[@Lukeovision]

@@ar50000 why are you obsessed with me in blue baby grows? 🤣

[@ar50000]

@@Lukeovision The baby-grow is not your usual sophisticated style. And it's a bit pale in colour.

You are so sensitive towards all different interviewpartners and reactors. I loved watching all discussions, thank you😊

[@Kostis_ESC]

Awww thank you so much for your sweet comment 🥰🥰

Omg I am loving these collabs ❤

Thank you so much for being here with your positive energy ❤️❤️❤️

[@calamityjean666]

Can we all stop for a moment and discuss all the extra songs artists are releasing now? Covers, acoustic versions, orchestral versions (Luktelk with orchestra!! !! !!! !) etc. I think it's my fabourite pre-Eurovision phase 🥰

[@Kostis_ESC]

I know!!! I love watching them too!!!!

[@calamityjean666]

@@Kostis_ESC What's your top5 of those released so far? 😄😄😄

[@Kostis_ESC]

Ughhh that's hard!!! I'd say both of Marina's, both of Silvester's and Bambie's intimate version! What about you??

[@calamityjean666]

@@Kostis_ESC I'm absolutely hooked on that orchestral version of Luktelk 😍 But also Estonians doing Fairytale with their staple dance routine stole my heart 😆 I love Mustii's acoustic version but the one he does in Belgian TV where he changes the key in the chorus is my favourite. And Bambie ofc - that intimate version of Doomsday Blue reminds me of her other ballad "Love Bites" that I absolutely adore. So much good stuff 🥰

[@erinnadia0409]

I agree with you when it comes to Italy, I adore Angelina and she so deserves to win, but I don't really want Italy to win again since it was so recent when they hosted.

[@Kostis_ESC]

Maybe if they win someone else can host ??? To be fair after the whole situation this year, I don't think anyone will want to host !!!

[@DorisGrech]

Malta will go through Sarah is so good on stage and her vocals are so good

[@EmoBearRights]

I agree but the reason I'm a bit sceptical is Malta don't do well in the televote and it's a question of if Nutsa also a strong performer and vocalist on later will completely steal Sarah's thunder. Firefighter isn't as strong IMO as Loop but recency bias is a thing and they're similar genres. That said Malta doesn't tend to send these types of songs. I think she will Q but it will be borderline and dependent on staging the song well.

[@EmoBearRights]

I don't think Serbia can get enough televote to win or the Netherlands enough jury support - sorry Luke. I even think theres a chance Serbia might be a shock NQ.

[@janap8019]

That is your wish…

[@EmoBearRights]

@@janap8019 No it's not. I don't want Serbia to NQ and I'd be ok with them winning. I just can see them NQing and don't see them winning. I don't want the Netherlands to win but I don't hate it (I'm not sure how I feel about it) but will be left side, probably top ten, possibly top five but I can't see it being top four or get 200 odd points with juries which is what it will need to win. Finland will Q and I don't want that - I just think it's very unlikely it won't as I'm a realist.

Bambie 💙 Ireland 🇮🇪💙💙💙

[@mikewhelan7692]

Croatia seems to be dropping now.. Switzerland now favourite. I'm loving Ireland 🇮🇪 Bambie 💙

[@ely03cassandra]

Just to clear things up: The Germans didn’t really chose Isaak, it was the international jury. They made sure only Max or Isaak could win. The German public voted for Isaak, to prevent Max from winning. If Ryk still would have had a chance to win after the jury votes, then probably he would have won the televote. I’ve heard/read from many Germans that they didn’t vote for Ryk because there was no point anymore. Therefore, the German public can’t be blamed for this disaster. Only NDR with their horrible voting system and the international jury. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@Kostis_ESC]

Yeap I agree that the system was so weird that made the people in Germany to vote in a certain way! I hope they'll change it next year!!

[@sasat6669]

Hi Kostis, my sweetie I also think Australia can qualify. The video is a bit creepy but I'm looking forward to the live performance. Ireland, the people hear the song in the HF for the 1st time. I don't think they will love it. Everyone supports their favorite channel, that's you Kostis for me even though we don't always agree. And there's another one I support regularly. I love Latvia, when Belgium performs as bad as in the pre-parties I give Latvia a chance. I have a totally different perception of the Big 5. I didn't expect anything from UK and Olly Alexander because I don't give a damn about a name. I listen and watch the entry and make up my own opinion. 1. Spain 🇪🇸 2. Germany 🇩🇪 3. France 🇫🇷 4. Italy 🇮🇹 5. United Kingdom 🇬🇧 6. Sweden

[@Kostis_ESC]

Thank you so much for your support since the beginning and I really appreciate that even when we don't agree about everything we can still discuss! That's the reason I started the channel and thank you for being here ❤️

[@sasat6669]

@@Kostis_ESC I'm always at your side. Of course it's important to discuss things, because that's the only way to broaden your horizons, including when it comes to music. BUT of course your own taste will always play the biggest role.

[@mikewhelan7692]

I don't agree. Ireland 🇮🇪 Bambi has been fantastic live in the preparties. Actually they are going up in favour since the lives started

@@mikewhelan7692 Yes, this is the bubble, but there are people who see Bambie the 1st time and they think Nooo

[@EmoBearRights]

Luke isnt factoring in thar usually at least one of the first three songs in the semi won't Q. In Semi 1 - that could be Serbia but Cyprus is a more generic song with less support. I agree with Ireland being controversial - it'll be borderline either way.

[@Lukeovision]

Who knows? Maybe this year breaks the chain?
