Really great to see the contest back after its first ever year of absence! Well done to  Rotterdam for the show which was very enjoyable!  Some thoughts regarding yesterday's performances and results...  It was an obvious qualifier and it was very well-deserved. A great show opener!  I was really hoping for the juries to save this one as it was among my favorites of the semi but unfortunately it was not enough. A true pity, Ana was amazing and that performance was simply outstanding!   It was also expected but I can not complain, it was great!  I mean, probably it had already qualified by Monday night (jury show)... It's Sweden after all.   I was not that amazed by her live on tape performance but I mean you never really know with them, maybe the juries loved the song, so I had not ruled them out of the competition. I still believe that compared to other entries in the semi final, it had to stay out unfortunately...   This was not going anywhere right from the start for me. Great voice but that's it I guess.  Not gonna lie, if we were only judging by studio version, this would easily be a qualifier for me. However, despite the vocals (which I don't know if people or even the juries considered when voting), I felt like the whole direction was just not it. I was not fond of all these close shots - the end of the song, when she started interacting with the public was much better I believe.  She really did a great job, so happy for Elena I don't see a second Foureira result coming up for us but I guess a decent position in the final should be something sensible to expect.  Before the show, this was my favorite of the semi final but for some reason I expected it to be the 'shocking non-qualifier', at least according to the betting odds. Really happy I was wrong  Out of so many female pop songs in the second half, someone had to pay the price and unfortunately it was this one... She had a great performance, I really feel sorry for them because a qualification would have been very well-deserved after this performance of Albina!  For me this was always going to qualify as it stood out, being sandwiched between female pop songs. A great performance by Hooverphonic and Geike was also amazing vocally!  I could see this staying out of the final but literally as a borderline non-qualifier. I really can't complain though as I enjoy the song and she pulled those whistle notes so well!  Despite the negative comments about it during the rehearsals, I felt it could stand a chance but apparently not... It was a great performance though and she was actually good vocally.  I feel like if this wasn't about the ethnic vibes and the great staging, it would have gone unnoticed. I am just not a fan of hearing a chorus that goes like 'Mata Hari' on repeat and thought the juries would make it stay out, but apparently it was enough for them to qualify so congratulations!  Never really been a fan of the song but they lifted it with this performance and Kateryna's vocals are just awesome! Well done!   I guess that it's back in the race for the victory, despite some people not being very enthusiastic about it after the rehearsals. As Destiny said, rehearsals are done for a reason and they were just checking out different things to finally come up with a great result, which is exactly what I personally saw last night! I should also add that the interval act was really cool, well done for the idea!  Semi final 2 coming up now, where I feel like we might have some surprises coming up for us! |

AFTER 2 YEARS FINALLY and such a show it was but it went away so quickly omg. I really loved Nikki tbh, she served as a host last night. The results might've been the hardest ones to witness as you knew some of songs you love will not go through but oh well Here are my thoughts on all the acts of the night Obvious qualifier, obvious performance, I love how the crowd went wild for it but I feel as in terms of favourite to win it faded completely out. I wouldn't be shocked if it escapes top 10 Nice vocals, nice visuals, song...idk I feel there was always smth that annoyed me at this song and her voice...it felt like song didn't fit her at all idk  Queen..the personality she brought last night on stage. The ending with the screens of different woman hit hard. It's gonna do really good in the final. top 10 is possible Ok..I am really bored at Sweden serving similar package every year. With a well produced radio friendly song that you get bored of after 2 weeks. I really like the message but it doesn't help the song. Ofc it would qualify but I wouldn't be shocked if Sweden completely flops in tv as I feel performance didn't make this stand out at all it was obvious. I feel if she performed live it would have some chances but live tape wasn't really competitive compared to lives of other contestants here...it's sad she had to be the first Australian out but it had to happen sooner or later I enjoyed his vocal performance....that's it I really did enjoy the performance....but the vocals..girl. I guess running on track ruined her vocals capabilities. At that moment, it was obvious it won't make the cut but nice try Ireland, I give you that I loved the performance. I loved her energy. I loved the song. Now do I agree with some new arrangements, especially in pre-chorus no but you cannot say she was bad vocally as she delivered every part of the song, but it did seem like vocally it didn't fit at times but still amazing performance. Tbh I never saw this as a NQ but compared to the act that followed...I would've preferred it to stay. I feel he did achieve telling his story well and taking the glasses off especially finally being able to see his true self was beautiful. I wouldn't really put this as 1st Qualifer EBU but ok,ok I feel this was the real robbery of the night and luckily only one. I really enjoyed Albina as a person and a singer. I feel she got the pop star energy that tonight she brought to the stage. I feel luck wasn't on her side last night and that costed her qualification...either way proud of our Balkan neighbors for bringing such a great show on stage and giving her a moment to shine at least in this semi-final. I never saw this as a NQ. Juries would always put this in and I am glad cause I feel the classy act like this really stood out in this semi and deservedly in the final they are. Ok I loved Eden, I love this song, I love the notes and I predicted this to make it before the show but not over Albina ngl. I thought it would be out after Azerbaijan performed but she make it which makes me happy as she deserves it. I just wish she represented another country atm and not Israel Yeah I like this song but the staging was too messy. It felt like she was just running around the stage for 3 minutes, getting dragged etc. It didn't really tell a proper story, it just showcased the demons we have which didn't respond to me at all. I feel like it should've been way different stages, giving her vocals more opportunity to shine as we know from Cherry Red, she isn't really a great performer. This should've been staged as a ballad with cool effects following it making it a bit dark but not too much. I am not shocked at all and I don't think only vocals ruined her. The Delegation really just did her dirty imo, they had no trust in her and kinda gave up in the middle of everything, it's sad to see as I feel she's talented and a good package for esc. That package just wasn't delivered tonight. I stan the high note in the end, that was a good touch. Ok I am bored of this. It just feels like bad copy of Cleopatra with ethnic elements. I did really like it but there's smth fabricated here which made me really off. Anyways performance was ok but I feel audience and their reaction to the ethnic drop really made this pop here and qualification was expected from that moment I AM SHOCKED. I expected this to be great after rehearsals but this much. no. The best performance of the night by far. It's so fun, so representative of the panslavic culture and modern at the same time. There's something wicked about the performance overall which snapped for me. My slavic blood really enjoyed this. Song really grew for me after this and I am sure this will top 10 with top 3 in televote easily. This won the televote tonight, I am sure. Vocally great. Performance just good. I feel it did have a moment at the last chorus with the sparkles dropping with her high notes which were stellar. This could win but will it? We will see on Saturday. Overall not disappointed at the qualifiers apart Croatia which is generally good. I hope sf2 will be easier to digest, especially since Croatian NQ makes me worry for Hurricane ngl but I believe they will go through still. Let's see. I am having a praying circle for them. |

Well as everyone probably knows by now a member of Gagnamagnið has tested positive for COVID-19 and it looks like  Iceland will be unable to perform live this year, absolutely not for the semi but probably neither the final. From an audience perspective the performance will be similar still as unlike Australia the we are using a clip of the rehearsal took place at the arena but I'm utterly devastated for Daði and the band, they deserved so much the chance to go on stage... |

Vocals were on point, the song deserved to go through, but I fail to see anything special in it. Congratulations, nevertheless. She was in my overall top 10, but at the same time Slovenia was an obvious non-qualifier, especially in such a bloodbath semi. Her vocals were almost flawless. Coming from a post-Soviet country and therefore understanding what she sings about, I have had a bit special connection to this entry. The performance was great, especially in the last chorus when she turned to the background screen to sing for Russian women of all intersectional identities/experiences. I do have certain concerns, though, when countries like Russia and Azerbaijan, where gender-based violence is a pressing issue, send entries about female empowerment, when the domestic situation is far from good, and where the feminist protests are brutally suppressed with state sanctioned police violence. Nonetheless, Manizha is a sweetheart, and geniunely supports feminist liberation, and I am definitely on her side. It is just the hypocrisy of governments like these that make me irritated. He had a better performance during the rehearsals and jury show. Overall, it wasn't a bad one, but Swedish entry is as boring as it gets. I'd assume Tusse got more points in the jury votes. This was not one of my favourite entries, yet I still feel very sorry for Montaigne. Representing a country that failed to qualify for the first time, especially, after not being able to be present in the contest appears to have been difficult. Plus she worked hard and did not have significant problems in her performance. I hope Australian delegation selects her in the future again. This sounded way better in stage than it did in the studio version. However, the song was a non-qualifier from the start. The staging was well-prepared, her vocals were not the best, and the song imo deserved to make it through; but to me it was also an obvious NQ from the start. The song is not my cup of tea; but a well-done job from Cyprus in staging and singing. Absolutely not surprised about its qualification. So glad TIX also advanced to the Final Round. Definitely deserved it. Now this was the biggest shock of the night as I deemed Croatia an obvious qualifier. When the last two entries were left to be announced, I thought the remaining were Ukraine and Croatia; but when Belgium was announced, I was really, really surprised. I could not see any significant issue with her performance; the song isn't something that I'd like; but she worked hard on it, and the song was largely praised by the fans, so I am kinda sad for her result. I predicted Hooverphonic as 8th of the semi, but still had low hopes. Really pleased with their success, absolutely deserved. Along with Azerbaijan, Belgium, and Romania, Israel was among the countries that I expected at the borderline. I thought Israel had the least likelihood to qualify from these four, hence them making it through came as a big surprise. She was in my overall top 10, but the dress and vocals, the latter although were improved, were not well enough for her to qualify. And Romania was in the borderline, so a better performance was expected. Unfortunate case. I'm far from being the nationalist type, and placed my home country as 37th out of 39 overall. Nonetheless, I think the performance was really good, if we do not take into account some notes where her voice was a bit shaky. Not surprising that Azerbaijan's qualification likelihood increased by 15 percentage after the show. I believe they also made some changes to the camera angles; although the stage was simplistic, the camera angles made it look like well-prepared. The best of the night. Nothing else is needed to say. An obvious qualifier, not my favourite though.

First off sorry for this probably being messy af. It's basically just me having put some thoughts together lol. And since it's probably very long i put it in a spoiler. The show itself was okay although I expected more from the Netherlands ngl. In fact I found it a bit boring and whatever happened it was always too fast for me ... As for the hosting: I can't really say anything about them (especially since we have a very talkative commentator lol.), but just like in 2019 and  2018 what's the reason for 4 people hosting? I believe to have already said similar in 2019, but to me it feels like it's 2 too many lol. Also what's the part of Jan? I mean did he even say more than 2 sentences?  I'd have also preferred a bit more interaction with the artists that were already in the Green room. Davina's interval act was really good although Idk whether I fully understood it lol ... But can she pls take part next year herself? About the performances: Lithuania: The Roop gave us more or less the staging I always expected it to be (it was a bit too formal though). Seeing it qualifying wasn't any surprising, but as for myself I'm not so sure anymore whether it'll be enough even for the top 10 - simply because Discotheque has aged (at least imo and I obvs can't say whether the casual viewers thought the same). Slovenia: This was also a more or less expected stage performance. Here I liked especially the visuals a lot.  Talking about Ana, I don't think we need to discuss anything about her voice any further. However it to me felt a bit like she didn't give her everything. That's especially in the last part where she should've done so in order to stand any chance. Sweden: This was a very Swedish song and performance - that I already forgot completely lol. What I remember here though is his suit - and particularly how horrific those arm thingies looked like ... Also Tusse's vocals weren't that thrilling either. And tbh. I listened this today on Spotify (respectively it just came up unasked) and I absolutely can't stop thinking about how the verses keep reminding me of  Bones and that "A million voices, voices" in the chorus of Oscar Zia's Human. Russia: Usually a favourite country of mine when it comes to Eurovision, this year I just can't get into their song ... However I totally loved Manizha's stage performance and literally felt the power she put into ... The absolute highlight here is the inclusion of the people on the back screen. But can we, on the other hand, also talk about that "dress" she wore in the very beginning? All in all I think we can agree on this being a deserved finalist - and even more since Russian Woman is not exactly your "everyday Eurovision song". After yesterday I can now see a top 10 incoming (that I couldn't see beforehand). Australia: Okayish tape performance with also okayish vocals. Ofc it's sad seeing Montaigne getting eliminated at this stage already on top of the tragedy of her having to stay at home ... :/ I really hope for her that she will possibly come back to the contest in the future and finally get to experience the full Eurovision feeling. North Macedonia: Tbvh. I had absolutely no expectations here - and they were met lol.  And I wouldn't be surprised if this ended up dead last place. Ireland: I really liked the origami they used in the staging, but at the same time it looked a bit overloaded to me and gave me kids show vibes ... Lesley's vocal performance may sadly have been where I expected it to be, but what I wasn't predicting was me not understanding her in the first verse. Btw. I really hope it's just me, but her styling didn't do her any favour at all. I don't mean to be rude, but I actually even gave me Sanna Nielsen vibes ... Cyprus: No surprises there. The staging was very Eleni / Tamta - and so was Elena's vocal performance (after her voice sounding really weird at the beginning). My favourite moment here were the burning letters at the end. I can imagine her having placed top 3 in this semi. Norway: I think we all agree on how discussable that angel costume is. But what I did like here, were the demons. If I remember correctly I thought his vocals to be the best of all participants. TIX advancing was never in doubt and especially after he took off his glasses. Croatia: Wtf? How did Albina not qualify?  That performance was literally flawless and Tick-Tock itself is quite the catchy song on top of that ... I'm so sad for her. :/ Belgium: To me this was always a sure finalist - and even more when it's standing out for just not being a female dance pop song lol. Their performance wasn't any special and I really disliked Geike's weird moves although she was really good live. Guess the juries loved this song. Israel: I'm really happy for Eden herself advancing. She's very talented and nay other outcome would've been a shame for her ... The downgrade here is the song lol. Set me free grew on me over the last weeks, but yesterday it felt endless ... On top of that I didn't get those high notes at the end either. I mean congrats to her for reaching them, but what? Romania: I always liked Amnesia and was hoping for Roxen to just sneak in because let's be real Amnesia was never placing higher than like 8th in a Eurovision semi final. The staging may have not been the best, but I thought she had sang quite considering the activity that was going on. Azerbaijan:  Ariana Grande? Selena Gomez? Who did Samira want to copy lol? Anyway I didn't like the performance at all and neither do I agree with the qualification of hers ... However congrats to her. Ukraine: Omg yes! That was a definite highlight of the entire show. I loved everything about this and it was the only performance I didn't just click on Youtube, but actually watched a second time. I totally felt the tense (although I knew right after the performance it was a safe finalist) when there were 9 finalists already announced, but Go_A were still waiting ... Imagine this being Ukraine's first NQ after the tragedies they've sent in the past (yes, I know that's an unpopular opinion lol). Oh and did you people notice that this is now suddenly at #4 in the odds? Malta: A little too colourful for my likings, but Destiny totally killed it live. Pretty sure that she won this semi! Idk whether it'll be enough for winning on Saturday, but I'm sure she'll get her country it's best result since 2005. |

well i'm late and this may get bit controversial oops Totally expected tbh - while I'm not a massive fan of the song itself (particularly the chorus' repetitiveness) or the staging, his vocals were amazing and I'm happy that he's in the final with Efendi. I can see this being very successful in the televote so another top 10 is possible for Norway. Well this is where it gets interesting - I know this isn't the place for politics but... with the recent events in Israel and Palestine, as someone of Arabian descent, it does make me a bit uncomfortable that she's happily representing an apartheid state which is doing what its doing (we all know so I don't need to rant further), however, I found the booing at the start of her performance completely unnecessary tbh. I don't want to cause drama or an argument so I'll leave this here. On the other hand, Eden's vocals were incredible, as were the song and performance, so she definitely deserved to qualify, although I didn't think she would because of ykw and the staging being very similar to Croatia. Overall, I'm very happy for the song and performance so I can live with this.  Really happy to see Manizha qualify. This is probably my winner of this year so this was massively deserved. Everything about this performance was incredible, and Manizha is an icon. The blend of powerful vocals and live rap worked perfectly and the dress made the performance even more memorable. The background of Russian women was very beautiful, and I thought it was very powerful to include LGBT representation to represent a country like Russia where LGBT rights aren't the best, as well as fully showcasing the diversity of Russia in the background and in her dress. Would love to see her finish in the top 10 in the final  My runner up of the year. Out of my top 5, Azerbaijan was the country I was most worried for, however I was pretty confident Efendi would qualify. I have been listening to Mata Hari so much the past few days and Azerbaijan continues to never disappoint me . I think the camera angles during the drop made the performance look simple and casual amongst a semi of polished and complex stagings ( ). Efendi's vocals were pretty good so I'm extremely happy Azerbaijan will be in the final again, however I don't think they will place above 15th, but hopefully I'm wrong. Tbh I was always relatively confident this would qualify so it was kinda funny seeing so many people predict it out.  We ✈️ Valetta 2022? This performance was amazing and Destiny really brought the song to life. I think Malta won this semi and hope they get a good spot in the running order in the final and can hopefully bring the country's first-ever victory. it would be so iconic if Destiny won both JESC and ESC, being the first person to do so. I'm not the biggest fan of this but their qualification was fully expected. This was a memorable opening act, however I still find it a bit too 'weird' and experimental but very happy to see an entry like this after the shockingly bland entry from 2019. I think a top 10 in the final is possible but I doubt it will reach the top 5. Also fully expected and deserved. The performance was very good and Elena's vocals were very good. I think this will be higher than Tamta, but lower than Eleni. Another amazing entry from Cyprus and I hope they send more female bangers in future, now that Cyprus has found its formula. Song wise this really isn't anything special, but Tusse is very sweet and this qualification was expected since it's Sweden. I think this will rank very high with the juries and then flop with the televote. Wow I did not expect this... I really like the vibes of the song, however I found the performance a bit lacklustre. The stage looked cramped and the background was weird. I thought this would be 11th/12th so I'm happy to see Belgium qualify, but I can't see this coming above 17th in the final. It was so obvious that Ukraine was going to be the last qualifier, it would have been far more suspenseful to have left Belgium, Israel or even Azerbaijan (although my heart wouldn't have liked that) till last. This performance was incredible and her voice is so mesmerising. Ukraine always delivers when it comes to staging and I'm very happy for Ukraine to be the last country (excluding Serbia & Montenegro) to have their 100% qualification rate.
Sadly this was expected. Ana's vocals were amazing, however the song is a bit dull and did not stand out in a semi as tough as this, especially being put in the 02 spot. I think we all saw this coming. I feel very sad for Montaigne as she is amazing and was at a major disadvantage and she didn't get to have the full experience, and being Australia's first non-qualification is very hard too. I really hope she gets to return again in the future. The Live on Tape was very good however this song didn't really have much of a chance in this semi. Vasil's vocals were out of this world, but this was sadly expected too. The song is outdated and the performance took too long to get exciting. Hopefully, he got some good jury points Parts of this song are really nice, but other parts just annoy me. The staging was very imaginative and exciting to watch, however, Lesley's vocals weren't the best, mostly because of the treadmill tiring her out. Sadly this was also an expected non-qualifier too. Definitely the robbery of the semi. Her vocals were very good and the performance was well executed. After the rehearsals, I grew more confident that this was going to qualify. I'm sad for Croatia since they usually send outdated ballads and the one time they send something modern, they get robbed. But it's very nice to see Albina react so positively and I hope she is successful in the future. Where do I start? I feel awful for Roxen because of the hate she has received and the way she has been treated. She deserved so much better, however this performance was a bit messy and looked weak in comparison to other entries. To be honest, I prefer other songs by Roxen and I hope she can carry on and have a successful career, and maybe return to the contest to get the result she deserves as an artist. I thought she would be able to slip through if she pulled through with her vocals however, I saw her spot being easily taken by someone else. Overall, this semi was very good and hopefully semi final 2 will be just as exciting... edit: very happy that all of my top 5 of this semi qualified flagrussiaflagzerbaijan and overall I'm very happy with these qualifiers |

Thoughts - A very impressive performance. I enjoyed this a lot more than the NF. Of course it qualified This was...not great. It was already a weak song, but there were a few vocal mistakes here and there. I doubt even the juries tried to save it I wasn't sold on this song for a while, but that all changed when I saw it last night. A really fun performance, made me laugh a couple of times. This was one of my favs before the show, but something felt off about it at ESC. But I can't quite put my finger on what it was. Not the worst staging last night, but it still felt very cluttered and her singing wasn't up to scratch. He had a strong vocal performance, I enjoyed it a lot more than the studio version. I feel like this might have slipped into the jury top 10 - but yeah, the televote was never gonna go for it.  This was just...dreadful. Lesley's vocals were all over the place, and the staging looked like the intro of one of those crappy kids shows from the 90s. Any hope I had of Ireland qualifying was destroyed in three minutes This...this is how you do Eurovision. I loved every second of this - the song is amazing and everything about the staging was on point. The only song I bothered to vote for. It was performed well, but the song is still pretty dated. Even after all the other fuckups last night, I wasn't sold on it qualifying. But I'm not mad that it did. It was a polished performance, but it was pretty underwhelming coming two songs after Cyprus. I expected it to be 9th or 10th but it couldn't even do that. This is why the producers deciding the running order is total bullshit. The staging was a bit strange, but the song and vocals pulled through. It was definitely a hit with the juries A pretty forgettable song, but they nailed the staging, and that was the deciding factor last night. This performance had a lot going on, but Roxen's vocals were pretty weak. The song still annoys the hell out of me, but the performance was memorable and no notable fuckups. Why did anyone think this would NQ?  I thought this was a major step down from the studio version. The staging had too much in such a small space, and the vocals could have been stronger. I won't be surprised if it NQ'd with the juries. I mean, there was no doubt that Destiny would slay. No other comment. |

I'm late but lets go. I'm gonna talk about my mom a lot because she was watching with me. Massive grower and such a beautiful song. So happy for him Mom and I really loved this one. It's a great night because Eden managed to hit the highest note in the contests history and Israel qualified despite their situation. Goes to show this really is about the music. Mazel tov. My whole family was talking about this when she was chosen but I think it grew on all of us Honestly I'm not surprised but that doesn't take away from the fact that i'm proud No doubts here. Still hope this wins No surprise No surprise [2] No surprise [24981665] This made me uncomfortable and i don't know why. I'm happy this qualified but i somehow think it deserved to stay. Without a doubt, the biggest grower for me. The whole thing reminded me of the matrix and the end brings this crazy atmosphere i like Ok so this didn't qualify overall but i'm sure it did with the juries. Ana was on point Eh The only nation I knew would stay Ok so it wasn't a qualifier but the performance was awesome and I'm so happy for Lesley The biggest anger of the day. Less importantly, I'm in love with her. More importantly, the performance was much better than expected and vocally she gave it all. I really hope some people are ashamed of this choice. Because this deserved the finals more than Belgium. And apparently, even their head of delegation agrees I said if they showed "for every shout that went unheard" on screen they'd qualify. They did. She was robbed. We riot. But overall, I was the happiest person on earth when it was on. 2 years is quite a long time and it was worth the wait. I want to congratulate the Netherlands for such an unforgettable and historic comeback show and I'm so ready to introduce this show to my friends who are obsessed with Nikkie |

I really missed Eurovision  what a wonderful and professional show that was, Netherlands did an awesome job on it, Devina's interval was magnificent My reactions were: I loved this from their very first performance and I'm just very happy they delivered and qualified Unfortunately an expected NQ but it was still good they put a lot of work into it Really nice I was maybe expecting a little more for it but still the message got delivered and very happy for her Eventhough I really like the song, I think the performance was very forgettable and even the MF one was better, for a moment I thought this would NQ but yeah, happy for Tusse tho I feel bad for her not getting the full experience and also being the first NQ for them, this was one of my favorite songs this year but the performance didn't outstand enough unfortunately, so a NQ was expected I feel I'm the only one who was rooting for this one really enjoyed it obvious NQ but it won a spot in my heart I don't think the performance helped here, it was a good idea but it just felt out of place, and it's such a shame cos it was one of my favorites and Lesley deserved better Amazing, her vocals are much better live, Elena is such an awesome performer and she owned that stage I have never been a fan of this one, but they did a good job with the performance, although I'd definitely put a different country in the final instead ROBBED but I can see why it NQd, it was drowned in a sea of other similar songs, still its the only song I'd change for one of the Qs very sad for Albina Not my favorite but it definitely was outstanding between all the other pop songs, it's deserved I guess This was surprisingly really good, shows how important it is to have a good performance, it completely lifted an otherwise flat entry, really well done! Sorry if I sound harsh but most of the performance was very forgettable, I thought it'd NQ for sure until The last 20 seconds of it which most likely made it qualify, she did great with those whistle notes but still I preferred Croatia over it, happy for Eden though this was my 33rd but I have to admit I'm the odd one who thinks the performance was fantastic and definitely lifted the song up for me, I wouldn't have minded if it qualified, it was a bit messy but still I think it was great I love this song, I was expecting a different kind of performance nut still this was Awesome and my favorite of the semi, so proud of Go_A Epic as expected, I'm not a huge fan of the parts where the background is completely yellow, but other than that it's really good and I hope it still has chances to win |
