i am happy about us being the show opener, i knew it, as La Festa is such a feel good party banger

good draws for Italy, Georgia, Portugal, Ukraine i think


Spain and UK two similar uptempo pop songs, good thing Freya performs after Carlos then



Kazakhstan have what it takes to outslay Poland in that order yes, not a good draw for Poland at all, Laura could end up becoming lost there against the crowdpleasing and vocal violence respectively by Luna and David

[Nicky91]

am really excited for this
