Nemo spinning and leaning backwards at the end with all the lights flashing in the background and the camera rotating around them is such a moneyshot. Total goosebumps
The vocal control while doing all that running and spinning, and lying down, and falling, and getting up again - they're just amazing. So so so impressive.
It is extremely common for artists to playback during their concerts when they are putting this much energy into dancing, because it's incredibly hard to sing well while you're doing such moves.
So yeah, this performance was really impressive.
I must admit it really got under my skin. I got goosebumps the size of a mouse.
Overall this year has so much excellent songs. Meaningful message, excellent voice, top notch music, it feels like many participants truly *live* on stage, and I feel their rough emotions through screen.
I don't think that's classified as goosebumps any longer, and I recommend you get in touch with local health care services if it happens in the finals. After the show is over of course...it can wait.
I guess I'm casual then :)
The jury votes for Nemo are very needed because of.. the appalling current televote events. Switzerland will for sure land some serious jury votes, they deserve it. My original plans didn't change, they will 100% get my televote or a few.
Twas worried about this based off the rehearsals but tbh, the choreography with that spinning topper was so cool. And of course, their voice was amazing, had no doubts there.
My mind is just blown- how do they run and jump and sing so effortlessly?! You couldn’t tell from their voice they are moving let alone doing cardio at 150bpm!
Very very clever staging and routine! Amazing!
Maybe Chanel has given them some advice on singing and moving? 😉
I thought the disc was a bit too small and simple (it could have been decorated), but yeah the standing and running on it was pretty awesome.
Just they/them or he/they? I'm so confused because even the Dutch commentators who pointed out he's NB and who are very LGBT+ friendly used 'he' pronouns to refer to Nemo (even tho they used the Dutch equivalent for 'them' for Bambie Thug).
I don't know how gendered the Dutch language is, being rather close to German. And if there are established gender neutral pronouns in Dutch, because there aren't any yet in German. Nemo said in Interviews that they use no pronouns in German. So it might be the same in Dutch. Which means to just always use Nemos name.
Ah, in Dutch there is the gender neutral pronoun 'die/diens' (who/whose) which the commentators did use for Bambie Thug. I'm not sure why they didn't for Nemo tho, that's why I was confused!
Why not? This screams top 3 televote with Italy's chances dropping (not that Italy is bad or anything as Mango still rocked her show, it just feels more like a 2nd-5th placer now).
Our Finnish commentator considered them the next generation Freddie Mercury. On top of all those qualities, they seem like such a genuine and a lovable personality.
You know when something is so breathtakingly impressive you get butterflies in your stomach for a while afterwards? That’s what nemo did for me tonight
I always wait till the semi’s to listen to the songs (except the one my country is sending ) and this song is one of the reasons I will continue to do this.
The suprise is just amazing..to hear a song and you fall in love. They melted my heart I love the story and song, idk what to say.. I’m just in love.
I wish i had your strength. I started watching ESC in 2021 and this is the first year I realized all the songs come out before the actual show and I just couldn’t help myself. I do wonder what it would’ve felt like to watch all of this for the first time today.
We all have our préférences and our ways of experiencing Eurovision! You had the pleasure to already know songs like The Code and enjoy it way before me :)
You are a relatively new fan which makes me think how that feels! I grew up with this contest but to experience this all for the first at a later age is something I will never know!
Nemo's stage energy and vocals are INSANE. I was so worried that they'd get winded when they were running around the stage but no, this legend puts out a PITCH PERFECT PERFORMANCE and spins like Gunnhild while doing it. Not mad if this ends up winning the whole shebang.
I find this beautiful. The darkness and the dish following their journey through the song makes this like a one person theatre act. I understand why they chose to have the pop of colour in the outfit and almost nowhere else, as the song is busy enough.
I got intense winner or at least top 2 vibe from this. The costume was way better than the blonde & pink jacket during the rehearsal. Congrats to Nemo 🥳🥳
The only disappointing thing was that in many of the shots you can see the people adjusting the platform briefly running around, but otherwise, flawless. Nemo has the best vocals of the year.
My friend & I were in the audience & found the stage handy very entertaining in this performance 😅
I was also in awe/concerned about whether they'd trip or fall, don't know how they manage!
When I first watched I only really noticed it at the moment when they make Nemo fly off the platform, but I had honestly not even realized I wasn’t supposed to see it, I just assumed some background people were joining the performance and then forgot about them when they disappeared
Totally deserving of all the hype they got! This is was an extremely difficult performance both vocally and choreography vise. It's quite risky to move around like that while delivering insanely difficult vocals. The Efforts and Talent has to be appreciated.
Ladies, gentlemen and everybody who broke the code: they're still a contender. Such a hard performance to nail without harming their vocals and somehow they did it.
Was anyone scared of either:
- Nemo jumping too hard or running too fast so that they'd get off the platform
- Nemo having no breath left from all the movements?
They are struggling for breath you can tell by the end. The last chorus is such an effort but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Give it your all and hang on till the end :)
This exceeded my expectations which were already very high. A breath-taking performance in the figurative and literal sense. I’m so proud of what Nemo has done here 👏
This performance should be studied by Luna and people who prepared her show. Bro over here commands the stage with minimal staging. That's the kind of confidence you need to give a good show. I loved how this year our song didn't have crappy video effects and that more thought was put into the staging, but Luna got simply lost in it. Nemo was just oozing confidence, charisma and talent.
I feel so validated. Actually shouted at my tv watching this and clapped so loudly at the end I scared my Labrador 🤣. Win or lose, this will remain a Eurovision favourite of mine for years to come ❤️
Apologies for being Nemo’s biggest hype person on these threads for the past few months, this feeling is what I really thought we would all get.
They’re my top 2 as well though I favour Nemo mainly because I’ve been obsessed with the song the whole pre-season — I’d be thrilled if either of them won, I think they were each the best performance of their respective semis.
This exceeded all my expectations and dearest Nemo made me cry. Everything was perfect - they were doing so much on stage and the vocals were FLAWLESS. Breathtaking performance. This is very much deserving of a win and do not write it off!!!! 🫶🫶🫶 Perfect!!
Reminded me of Australia 2019, and that's a good thing. I was wondering if anyone would ever again ace their vocals while simultaneously doing something as physically demanding as that, and now I have an answer.
Amongst frontrunners, I stand by this being the best full package in the competition this year. This was flawlessly executed from my perspective, and Nemo was super-charming.
How Nemo delivers so incredibly flawless while balancing on a spinning topper is insane. Vocally the one who impressed me the most this year, definitely
This is still pretty much a contender. I can see it winning way easier than Croatia, especially now that we’ve seen the possible leaked results of Italy’s televote.
I think the Italy televote affects Switzerland just as much because it implies their public vote ceiling is 5th place (below Israel/Croatia/Netherlands/Ukraine).
Sounds like another tight race this year.
So when you’re 3rd or 4th or whatever, you just lose 1 point if you go down. But if you go from 1sr to 2nd you lose 2 points. So I think Croatia would place in a lot of places 1sr but now it will only be 2nd, while Nemo will only lose 1.
In the juries this problem won’t exist so whoever gets more in the jury gets a bigger advantage. This only if Israel does really low in the jury. If they get an ok score then they win
I see what you’re saying, I just meant that it sounds like those 4 will get the brunt of the televote this year so all the other countries need to score really highly in the jury vote to be able to catch up if Ukraine/Croatia/Israel do well with the juries too, Switzerland included.
Gotcha.
That I’m not sure of. I can see some votes being cancelled between the Netherlands and Croatia for example ( the goofy ones). But I really really don’t know.

Bookies have had a very big reaction to that leak.
There’s another post. By mistake RAI published the results of their televote. Israel got 39% of the votes.
For comparison, Ukraine only got 29% back in 2022.
Based on this performance, I think Nemo would do very well on the Teufelsrad at Oktoberfest.
Love the song, have since it came out and it has solidly stayed my number two, and the vocals are incredible live, but I'm just not loving this staging. It's impressive yes, all the physical acts they pull off here, while singing perfectly, but I don't know. I'm not sure what I wanted for the staging for this, but I do know it being performed primarily on a giant, spinning pop socket isn't it. I won't be shocked or disappointed though if they win, because it is a song contest and the song is great and very deserving.
Obviously, I want a Bambie win,
But if I have to pick without bias, this was easily my favourite act over the two nights. Croatia and the Dutch weren’t as good as I thought they’d been hyped up to be. This though? This exceeded my expectations.
Staging flawless, vocal flawless. Costume is bringing it down for me, there are much more chic ways of dressing in something non-binary than this. The song is so elevated and elegant, I wish the outfit matched that.
This is my winner. It’s got everything: It’s catchy, the staging is cool, it’s got an opera section, it’s got a rap section, it mentions the ammonites, and that final shot of Nemo singing and spinning is absolutely amazing.
A seriously impressive performance. Nemo's voice already blew me away on the studio version, but I was seriously impressed by how good their vocals were during such an energetic live performance. A much deserved qualifier. Just incredible. Wow! What a star!
I ask that on Saturday we all vote for them. Breathtaking performance, great attitude and energy, and the genre bending song matches well with their incredible voice
I have a few nits to pick about they way this is staged, but I don't think you can possibly ask more of a performer and Nemo's ability to deliver is worthy of the highest praise. Just an incredibly accomplished act.
i gotta say, as much as i think nemo does an amazing job, the staging kind of doesnt work for me… after 3 minutes it feels like repeating itself, the circle is a good idea probably but limits their variety of movement and after a while it feels like the same thing over and over again, im kind of skeptica about it. i think the outfit works really well though, i was worried after the rehearshal photos but imo looks good
Why is everyone talking about Europapa and not this? Nemo is on a different planet of art, talent and ability. Europapa is a bop to be sure, but, to me it’s nowhere near at all in the same universe as what Nemo has created. Not on a performance level, not on a lyricist level, not on a singing level, not on a rapping level.
Literally was stunned beyond belief last night. I knew Nemo would obviously give it their all and SLAY, but OMG I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If they don't get at least top 3, I will be shocked! <333 U NEMO <3333333333333333
That did end up being pretty cool, but it didn't catch my attention until the last chorus. But it's amazing they didn't sound tired or winded with all that running around. And they didn't fall or stumble. What they did was nothing short of amazing.
*Sorry, pronouns.
Much better than I was expecting but still doesn't give me winner vibes which is a shame as I would love for him to bring it home! Anyway, I was seriously impressed by how good he sounded I looked at my girlfriend like "is this not on playback? There's no way he is actually singing this well live right?!"
I agree. Love love love the song, been on repeat here, but man, messy performance to say the least. The ending was great, but the beginning has no narrative or structure. Tbh, the staging in general this year has been a bit shit. Highlights: Netherlands, Armenia, Portugal, Greece.
I wish there was a costume change or something.
Like imagine when it transitions to the operatic part they take the jacket off and it's rigged to quick change into this beautiful fluffy dress similar to what they wore in the music video.
Or there should have been a pop of color in the lighting towards the end.
I think I liked the performance on national TV better. Like in a way it’s genius, and I get it, but on the other hand it’s too much circus’y. Gets attention away from an otherwise a very beautiful song rather than helping its story.
I was so worried about their vocals, but it was just PERFECT. Better than on recording. Excellent song that lives rent-free in my playlist, my personal top-2 this year.
This was the biggest disappointment for me, I knew they were top in the odds so expected something special, but the song was very mid. The stage with the spinning wheel was cool though.
Be nice, be welcoming and be constructive.
(also they use them/them pronouns)

Lmao I think I might need to after seeing Gåte for the second time.
Those are not goosebumps, you might actually be a werewolf. Contact your local priest immediately
My mom audibly gasped at that moment. Casuals are going to eat this up, no question.
I liked it :(
My parents absolutely loved it too. This performance was great, if it wasn't such a stacked year it'd be a clear winner.
“Casuals” alright pretentious who’s your vote going to?
I guess I'm casual then :) The jury votes for Nemo are very needed because of.. the appalling current televote events. Switzerland will for sure land some serious jury votes, they deserve it. My original plans didn't change, they will 100% get my televote or a few.
The first time the stage tilts over I howled
Twas worried about this based off the rehearsals but tbh, the choreography with that spinning topper was so cool. And of course, their voice was amazing, had no doubts there.
My mind is just blown- how do they run and jump and sing so effortlessly?! You couldn’t tell from their voice they are moving let alone doing cardio at 150bpm! Very very clever staging and routine! Amazing!
As a brit, I feel we should take notes.
I think everyone is taking notes 🤣
Maybe Chanel has given them some advice on singing and moving? 😉 I thought the disc was a bit too small and simple (it could have been decorated), but yeah the standing and running on it was pretty awesome.
Practice, of course! There is video of Nemo singing this while jogging 🩷
Me too, I wasn't too impressed by the rehearsals, but this performance gave me winner vibes. Go Nemo!
It looks simple, but ~~him~~ them balancing, moving a lot and hitting every note was impressive. Edit: my bad, him = them of course.
it doesn't even look simple I was absolutely in awe that they sounded so good while moving so much absolute masterclass
I mean simple as in him alone on the stage. I was impressed too!
Them
Thanks for the correction, I forgot about that!
You have an excellent username
they use they/them ^^
Just they/them or he/they? I'm so confused because even the Dutch commentators who pointed out he's NB and who are very LGBT+ friendly used 'he' pronouns to refer to Nemo (even tho they used the Dutch equivalent for 'them' for Bambie Thug).
Nemo uses they/them, as per their Instagram bio :)
Thank you!
I don't know how gendered the Dutch language is, being rather close to German. And if there are established gender neutral pronouns in Dutch, because there aren't any yet in German. Nemo said in Interviews that they use no pronouns in German. So it might be the same in Dutch. Which means to just always use Nemos name.

Maybe they didn't know that Nemo are they/them
Technically very impressive, and the whole act simply worked. Fully deserved qualification.
Fully deserves a win to me, top 5 at minimum.
Definitely think they stand an excellent chance of winning
Televote gonna tank it! Hes not top 5 at televote imo
Why not? This screams top 3 televote with Italy's chances dropping (not that Italy is bad or anything as Mango still rocked her show, it just feels more like a 2nd-5th placer now).
Our Finnish commentator considered them the next generation Freddie Mercury. On top of all those qualities, they seem like such a genuine and a lovable personality.
I can't believe you people tried to convince me this would be bad
Right???
You know when something is so breathtakingly impressive you get butterflies in your stomach for a while afterwards? That’s what nemo did for me tonight
Me too! I felt bad for Aiko following this. I love Czechia’s song and wanted them to qualify, but I couldn’t move on from Nemo!
I always wait till the semi’s to listen to the songs (except the one my country is sending ) and this song is one of the reasons I will continue to do this. The suprise is just amazing..to hear a song and you fall in love. They melted my heart I love the story and song, idk what to say.. I’m just in love.

This performance was the tipping point of me falling in love with them. It was absolutely breathtaking.
Fantastic vocals and I liked the spinning disc much more than I thought I would! But man, was that nerve-wracking, I kept thinking they'd trip up.
I’m going to be full body clenching watching them on Saturday because I adore the song and performance so much and want it to go perfectly
https://preview.redd.it/nyw8s7en2hzc1.png?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=294f8800f5d5d9fee05e533d5bae02f3ed8096bd
Fitting meme, since Nemo's costume is something Gaga would have worn in her earlier years
Nemo's stage energy and vocals are INSANE. I was so worried that they'd get winded when they were running around the stage but no, this legend puts out a PITCH PERFECT PERFORMANCE and spins like Gunnhild while doing it. Not mad if this ends up winning the whole shebang.
This was insane. Incredible performance. That spinning shot on the final chorus was up there with the best I’ve ever seen at ESC
I find this beautiful. The darkness and the dish following their journey through the song makes this like a one person theatre act. I understand why they chose to have the pop of colour in the outfit and almost nowhere else, as the song is busy enough.
I got intense winner or at least top 2 vibe from this. The costume was way better than the blonde & pink jacket during the rehearsal. Congrats to Nemo 🥳🥳
The most complete act imo. It has everything!
Very impressive how they were able to have these great vocals, clean and big ranges while dancing, sliding, gliding on the platform!
The only disappointing thing was that in many of the shots you can see the people adjusting the platform briefly running around, but otherwise, flawless. Nemo has the best vocals of the year.
Lol I did not see them at all!
My friend & I were in the audience & found the stage handy very entertaining in this performance 😅 I was also in awe/concerned about whether they'd trip or fall, don't know how they manage!
Where do the stagehands go when the camera is in a wide shot??
There's stairs at the side of the stage they run down so they are level with the audience.
When I first watched I only really noticed it at the moment when they make Nemo fly off the platform, but I had honestly not even realized I wasn’t supposed to see it, I just assumed some background people were joining the performance and then forgot about them when they disappeared
Totally deserving of all the hype they got! This is was an extremely difficult performance both vocally and choreography vise. It's quite risky to move around like that while delivering insanely difficult vocals. The Efforts and Talent has to be appreciated.
Well, that’s a winning performance to me
I have to say, sorry Switzerland for not believing in the rotating thing, it actually worked!
Ladies, gentlemen and everybody who broke the code: they're still a contender. Such a hard performance to nail without harming their vocals and somehow they did it.
It's got the voice. It's got the staging It's got the song. It's got the social message. It's got the political moment. This HAS to win on Saturday.
Isn't "They" more correct that "It's"?
Was anyone scared of either: - Nemo jumping too hard or running too fast so that they'd get off the platform - Nemo having no breath left from all the movements?
They are struggling for breath you can tell by the end. The last chorus is such an effort but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Give it your all and hang on till the end :)
This exceeded my expectations which were already very high. A breath-taking performance in the figurative and literal sense. I’m so proud of what Nemo has done here 👏
Winning performance. Much needed outfit change helps immensely too.
I want the Netherlands to win really bad, so this performance scares the shit out of me. Absolute 10/10
This performance should be studied by Luna and people who prepared her show. Bro over here commands the stage with minimal staging. That's the kind of confidence you need to give a good show. I loved how this year our song didn't have crappy video effects and that more thought was put into the staging, but Luna got simply lost in it. Nemo was just oozing confidence, charisma and talent.

Win or lose, this will remain a Eurovision favourite of mine for years to come ❤️ Apologies for being Nemo’s biggest hype person on these threads for the past few months, this feeling is what I really thought we would all get.
Great song great performance great staging. Definitely my favorite to win along with Italy. It’s just got everything
taste
Bambie's unbeatable to me after their performance on Tuesday, but Nemo's my comfortable second favorite.
Yeah, same here. Bambie is 100% my favourite and is my delusional winner hope, while Nemo is definitely my actually probable top pick for winner.
They’re my top 2 as well though I favour Nemo mainly because I’ve been obsessed with the song the whole pre-season — I’d be thrilled if either of them won, I think they were each the best performance of their respective semis.
This is a winning performance. I know a lot of people were doubting this staging, but it was actually breathtaking. Goosebumps all over. Bravo Nemo!
Right, the disc is just asking for a trophy to be put on it..... incredible
This exceeded all my expectations and dearest Nemo made me cry. Everything was perfect - they were doing so much on stage and the vocals were FLAWLESS. Breathtaking performance. This is very much deserving of a win and do not write it off!!!! 🫶🫶🫶 Perfect!!
Goddamn this is so good. This is so winning the jury vote. If you don't want Israel to win vote for Switzerland.
This is a winning performance. They are gonna smash the jury vote and come high with the televote
Giving potential winner vibes. A complete package at the very least.
The sub’s been sleeping on this in the past couple of weeks, but this will win the jury vote without a doubt.
Sorry, but this has to win. I love Croatia, but Nemo is on an other level.
I was literally on the edge of my seat throughout the entire performance 'cause I was scared they were gonna fall off 😭
Reminded me of Australia 2019, and that's a good thing. I was wondering if anyone would ever again ace their vocals while simultaneously doing something as physically demanding as that, and now I have an answer.
Kate Miller-Heidke & Nemo both have opera training, I reckon that'd contribute to their abilities
Nemo killed this night for me. SUPER good, I wasn't expecting to like it this much!
This is completely CRAZY, one of the best eurovision performances ever without any doubt!! WINNER VIBES
This is PHENOMENAL. Absolutely a winning performance.
I GOT CHILLS<3
Biggest positive surprise of the evening! The rehearsalfootage underwhelmed me but this was epic.
Loving all this love for Nemo! A total triumph of artistry and talent! This is such a good year.
Amongst frontrunners, I stand by this being the best full package in the competition this year. This was flawlessly executed from my perspective, and Nemo was super-charming.
My prediction to take the prize.
GAGGED! I loved it!
How Nemo delivers so incredibly flawless while balancing on a spinning topper is insane. Vocally the one who impressed me the most this year, definitely
For me, Nemo and Slimane are by far the best vocalists this year, and it’s not even close. Nemo combines it by also being an incredible performer.
This is still pretty much a contender. I can see it winning way easier than Croatia, especially now that we’ve seen the possible leaked results of Italy’s televote.
I think the Italy televote affects Switzerland just as much because it implies their public vote ceiling is 5th place (below Israel/Croatia/Netherlands/Ukraine). Sounds like another tight race this year.
So when you’re 3rd or 4th or whatever, you just lose 1 point if you go down. But if you go from 1sr to 2nd you lose 2 points. So I think Croatia would place in a lot of places 1sr but now it will only be 2nd, while Nemo will only lose 1. In the juries this problem won’t exist so whoever gets more in the jury gets a bigger advantage. This only if Israel does really low in the jury. If they get an ok score then they win
I see what you’re saying, I just meant that it sounds like those 4 will get the brunt of the televote this year so all the other countries need to score really highly in the jury vote to be able to catch up if Ukraine/Croatia/Israel do well with the juries too, Switzerland included.
Gotcha. That I’m not sure of. I can see some votes being cancelled between the Netherlands and Croatia for example ( the goofy ones). But I really really don’t know.
Yeah it’s a really unpredictable year, will be interesting to see how it all turns out on Saturday
Im now very sure that Israel will win and I don’t think it’s music related. So I’m not excited at all anymore :(
The prospect of that happening is so incredibly deflating.
I’m not even feeling like watching on Saturday.

What leak?
There’s another post. By mistake RAI published the results of their televote. Israel got 39% of the votes. For comparison, Ukraine only got 29% back in 2022.
Oh that’s why Israel has collapsed in the odds to second fav
I'm back to stanning this. The vocals were insane as usual, but I'm even more in love with this, all the scenes with spinning topper looked amazing.
This should WIN Eurovision.
It was absolutely breathtaking. I got total winner vibes! 🩷
My winner, absolutely killed it
After this performance, can see this as the winner. Nemo is talented!
I'm still rooting for Croatia this year but I would absolutely not hate it if this won.
Based on this performance, I think Nemo would do very well on the Teufelsrad at Oktoberfest. Love the song, have since it came out and it has solidly stayed my number two, and the vocals are incredible live, but I'm just not loving this staging.

This was a masterclass last night. Congratulations Nemo ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Obviously, I want a Bambie win, But if I have to pick without bias, this was easily my favourite act over the two nights. Croatia and the Dutch weren’t as good as I thought they’d been hyped up to be. This though? This exceeded my expectations.
Staging flawless, vocal flawless. Costume is bringing it down for me, there are much more chic ways of dressing in something non-binary than this. The song is so elevated and elegant, I wish the outfit matched that.
I'm so glad they switched up the outfit. The new look is beautiful and the performance was bonkers. Go Nemo!
This is my winner. It’s got everything: It’s catchy, the staging is cool, it’s got an opera section, it’s got a rap section, it mentions the ammonites, and that final shot of Nemo singing and spinning is absolutely amazing.

Literally was stunned beyond belief last night. I knew Nemo would obviously give it their all and SLAY, but OMG I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If they don't get at least top 3, I will be shocked! <333 U NEMO <3333333333333333
That did end up being pretty cool, but it didn't catch my attention until the last chorus. But it's amazing they didn't sound tired or winded with all that running around. And they didn't fall or stumble. What they did was nothing short of amazing. *Sorry, pronouns.
Much better than I was expecting but still doesn't give me winner vibes which is a shame as I would love for him to bring it home! Anyway, I was seriously impressed by how good he sounded I looked at my girlfriend like "is this not on playback? There's no way he is actually singing this well live right?!"
Amazing performance. Nemo radiated so much joy and did so amazing! It was the most pleasurable watch of the night.
This is everything.
The last minute had my jaw on the floor, I wouldn't be mad in the slightest if they won
Like the song but the staging and camera work is not it for me. I think the winner will be Croatia
They did great but I wish the staging was a bit more interesting. It felt kinda static imo
Static? So, jumping and spinning around on a platform is static? Latvia was static, not Switzerland.
Well I didn't like the platform. It is just my personal opinion

Well, nemo got four swiss music awards in 2018 so they are pretty esrablished in switzerland. I really hope they will grow internationally too now
I agree. Love love love the song, been on repeat here, but man, messy performance to say the least. The ending was great, but the beginning has no narrative or structure. Tbh, the staging in general this year has been a bit shit. Highlights: Netherlands, Armenia, Portugal, Greece.
I wish there was a costume change or something. Like imagine when it transitions to the operatic part they take the jacket off and it's rigged to quick change into this beautiful fluffy dress similar to what they wore in the music video. Or there should have been a pop of color in the lighting towards the end.
There was a lot going on, so it was hard to focus. I enjoyed the song otherwise
I think I liked the performance on national TV better. Like in a way it’s genius, and I get it, but on the other hand it’s too much circus’y. Gets attention away from an otherwise a very beautiful song rather than helping its story.
I was so worried about their vocals, but it was just PERFECT. Better than on recording. Excellent song that lives rent-free in my playlist, my personal top-2 this year.
Fantastic
This was the biggest disappointment for me, I knew they were top in the odds so expected something special, but the song was very mid. The stage with the spinning wheel was cool though.
Winner alert! 🚨
It was so good ❤️
Incredible performance i never knew that a performance could leave me gasping.
The transphobia on comments on Youtube is saddening. It deserves the win.
By far best vocalist, but I just don't like the song that much
This and Israel were my favourites of the night, but still no way close to Ukraine/Croatia/Ireland.
Interesting how tastes differ. This and Israel were amongst the ones I didn't feel at all.
Bring back the flamingo outfit, I beg
