PHOENIX 🐦‍🔥 @thephoenixesc.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

26. 🇦🇱 ALBANIA: SHKODRA ELEKTRONIKE - ZJERM Last but by no means least! The crowd are eager for this, cheering before the first note. Beatrice and Kole's vocals bring the light and shadow this song really needs with the latter getting a huge cheer before his part! #Eurovision

130

PHOENIX 🐦‍🔥 @thephoenixesc.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

25. 🇸🇲 SAN MARINO: GABRY PONTE - TUTTA L'ITALIA Between the highly emotive France and with Albania up next, Gabry is setting us up for the after-party. He does a great job of hyping up the crowd and even his singers seem to be having fun behind the masks! #Eurovision

110

PHOENIX 🐦‍🔥 @thephoenixesc.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

There's an additional few big notes near the end, possibly for the juries' benefit. She says 'Thank you, Europe, I hope you're proud of me' and we really are! #Eurovision #esc2025

PHOENIX 🐦‍🔥 @thephoenixesc.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

24. 🇫🇷 FRANCE: LOUANE - MAMAN What makes Louane's performance so special is not just an impeccable vocal: it's the way every movement, facial expression and intonation MEANS something. Even if you don't speak French, you feel her emotion. #Eurovision

131

PHOENIX 🐦‍🔥 @thephoenixesc.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

23. 🇸🇪 SWEDEN: KAJ - BARA BADA BASTU Still the bookies' favourite, KAJ have got a lot to prove tonight but despite being in a sauna they aren't breaking a sweat! This is slick, polished fun. It impressed jurors at Melfest...can it do it again at #Eurovision? #esc2025

PHOENIX 🐦‍🔥 @thephoenixesc.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

22. 🇩🇰 DENMARK: SISSAL - HALLUCINATION Sissal was on vocal rest this afternoon: a wise move as during the chorus and big end notes she sounds great and jumps for joy when she's finished. Welcome back, Denmark - we missed you! #Eurovision #esc2025

PHOENIX 🐦‍🔥 @thephoenixesc.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

21. 🇵🇹 PORTUGAL: NAPA - DESLOCADO A shock qualifier to many, Napa are here to prove why we were wrong to ever doubt them! As well as their gentle, yearning track, vocalist João calls out to the crowd near the start: they seem so happy to be here. #Eurovision #esc2025

PHOENIX 🐦‍🔥 @thephoenixesc.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

20. 🇲🇹 MALTA: MIRIANA CONTE - KANT Gosh it's great to see Malta back in a final! Miriana is soaking up every moment and her voice sounds fantastic. The crowd is going wild (although no we still don't hear *it*) - this is what #Eurovision is all about!

PHOENIX 🐦‍🔥 @thephoenixesc.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

19. 🇨🇭 SWITZERLAND: ZOË MË - VOYAGE There were technical difficulties in Tuesday's semi performance and we're relieved to say there were none tonight! Zoë's voice is gentle yet powerful and this is a serene, beautiful moment in the show. #Eurovision

120

PHOENIX 🐦‍🔥 @thephoenixesc.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

18. 🇦🇲 ARMENIA: PARG - SURVIVOR Parg continues to rely on pre-recorded backing vocals as he runs on the treadmill. Could this work against him with juries? Either way, this is visually impressive and he nails the big note before the final chorus! #Eurovision #esc2025

PHOENIX 🐦‍🔥 @thephoenixesc.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

17. 🇬🇷 GREECE: KLAVDIA - ASTEROMATA If jurors do award strong vocals tonight it's hard to see where they'll find fault with Klavdia, who has never faltered since she won her national final. Klavdia continues to sound just as flawless tonight. #Eurovision

16. 🇩🇪 GERMANY: ABOR & TYNNA - BALLER While there are stronger vocalists tonight, Tynna sounds the best she has so far. Impressive considering the health issues that plagued her during pre-party season. And of course this performance has memorability in spades! #Eurovision

110

PHOENIX 🐦‍🔥 @thephoenixesc.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

15. 🇵🇱 POLAND: JUSTYNA STECZKOWSKA - GAJA The opening quieter parts of the song sound the best they have so far and those big notes (which are NOT EASY) continue to deliver. Her descent into a run doesn't compromise her ability to do the choreography. #Eurovision

PHOENIX 🐦‍🔥 @thephoenixesc.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

14. 🇮🇹 ITALY - LUCIO CORSI - VOLEVO ESSERE UN DURO This is a total change of pace after Finland which could work in its favour. Lucio sounds great. There's every chance juries will appreciate his musicianship, especially as the only act to play a live instrument! #Eurovision
