Eurovision 2022: Jury Show of the First Semi-Final!
One day before the actual shows the so-called Jury Show happens which isn’t visible to the usual audience (only to those who received press accreditation and to the experts). The Jury Show of the First Semi-Final took place today. Professional jurors have already ranked all 17 acts of today’s show.
Albania
Very sensual and sexual performance with a good camerawork. Ronela is very charismatic and it looked like a worthy opener. The choreography was fierce. Overall, it was a great performance. Let’s see whether juries liked it or not.
Latvia
Amazing and very energetic performance from Citi Zeni. The camerawork is on point and vocally it was perfect. Is it a song that would be appreciated by juries? No clue.
Lithuania
Elegant, minimalistic but impactful performance from Monika Liu. Stunned by this.
Switzerland
Visually – gorgeous, vocally – I wouldn’t really say.
Slovenia
It was fun, although the soloist got lost in the light! Vocally excellent, nothing else to add.
Ukraine
Timofiy improved a LOT. Energetic, impactful and mesmerising performance from Kalush Orchestra. One of the bests, for sure.
A break before Bulgaria
Bulgaria
This staging is exactly what a rock song needs. One of the best vocals.
Netherlands
Very minimalistic and simple staging. S10 was nervous, hopefully she’ll be better for the actual show.
Moldova
It’s indeed fun. Personally enjoyed this one a lot. The audience did it too.
Portugal
Very emotional and atmospheric. The staging is perfection.
Croatia
Such a cute performance from Mia! Amazing camerawork and excellent vocals. Croatian was added to the song (she sung the last chorus in Croatian completely).
Denmark
Great performance, nothing else to say.
There’s a break after Denmark. We see some from Sunday’s Turquoise Carpet.
Austria
Vocally not really great, but it has a very effective staging!
Iceland
Atmospheric performance and a very easy song to listen to. Impressive!
Greece
Massive winner vibes there…
Norway
Such an astounding performance from the wolves from Norway! Enjoyed it a lot.
Armenia
Flawless vocals and fascinating staging.
We see the recap of all 17 songs once all artists finished performing.
Dardust is on the stage playing a drum. Sophie and the giants are on the stage. Tons of pyro as we see Daniel Benassi at the back of the stage at a DJ booth.
A tribute to Raffaella Carra. Laura talks about her and then Fiesta is played!
Afterwards the second recap is on!
Diodato performs his ESC 2020 song – Fai Rumore. In the dark, he sits and plays at his piano and sings. A choir softly sings along in the chorus. Diodato starts off behind the stage and is on the front side with lots of people dancing around him on stage in smoke. Perfection.
Alessandro chats with the JESC 2021 winner – with Maléna. We see a small clip of her JESC victory and of her song. Promo clip for Yerevan is shown as well right after the clip.
Mika has a conversation with Alvan & Ahez and Mahmood&Blanco.
France
In the beginning it was very shaky, but then everything went very well. Energetic, impressive and outstanding performance from France! WOW!
Italy
Vocally they’ve improved a lot since the second rehearsal. They don’t engage with camera which makes it at some point better. Brilliant performance!
