So time to start the 2nd half of the 2nd semifinal, here we go, this will be the hardest one because of the four ballad stagings which just... Aren't the most staging friendly performances to begin with
Serbia
So the band has already said they won't be having dancers and they won't copy their music video which kind of just... Takes away the basis of my ideas for this and 80% other acts this year
But because I am planning to play a drinking game called "How many staging elements I got right with my rants" I am going to listen Hurricane's wishes and come up with a concept that doesn't include dancers or copying stuff from the music video
BUT if I could have them keep one (1) thing from the video it would be the male model they had because I just want to scream in bisexual
Okay finally to the actual concept, for the outfits I want something messy, like their hasta la vista level live-outfits, huge, beautiful mess that hurts your eyes just the right way, same with the lights, pretty eye-catching and -hurting mess, for the color scheme I'd use pink, yellow and orange
For the actual staging, not having dancers doesn't mean not dancing and the girls better dance their hearts out on stage because I have no idea what else to put on stage except for the must-have wind machine
Georgia
Then comes the "four low-tempo songs after each other" -section so these all need very captivating staging to be memorable, unfortunately, I have zero ideas for this
This song would be fine with red&pink colors in the lights, kind of dark stage because it's a ballad, maybe even some kind of spotlight
For the outfit, I'd choose a suit OR the ugly winter jacket that the singer has in the music video to stand out from the others
And for the actual staging? I like the dancer he has in the video, if he's able to, maybe have him dance with the dancer, even a few spins would look great
Albania
Nothing from the national final shall be brought back, not the dancers, not the dress, everything needs to be changed and forgotten
But the music video on the other hand works very well and some things from there could be brought back, the style of dress she has in there works, but maybe something more detailed and less plain but with something taken from the original dress, I wouldn't be against of one of those long-ass dresses like what Estonia had in 2018
Red&white also work well with this song's lights but maybe add some yellow if needed more, I think an all-lit stage would work so she would look even more lonely on stage and get the message through to non-Albanian speaking and non-subtitle using people
Maybe it's because Bapiste is directing this entry, but I hope that this staging will look and work like Lovewave did in 2016, not much special effects on stage but still works without them perfectly
Portugal
Very though one, but this one is a throw-back song so let's throw the staging all the way back
I'm talking about all black and white filter and the outfits they already had in the nf, that's it, just make it look like it arrived on stage 60 years too late
Nothing else to say really, I think that just making it look like it's out of place and time will make it stand out enough
Bulgaria
This makes me so mad that no children are allowed on Eurovision stage because I would have had such a perfect concept, like the one they had in the music video
Fill the stage with props and have the child-Viktoria lookalike run around there, but because we can't have that, I'd bring some led screen and have a video of a child running around in those, then maybe also have 2-3 other different-aged Viktoria lookalikes appearing and disapearing out of nowhere while Viktoria sings
For the color scheme, green and yellow seem to work for many songs this year and I think that applies to this one too, this is kind of a sad song so the stage doesn't have to be the most light-filled one
For the clothes, anything works as long as Viktoria and all of her lookalikes are wearing the same outfit to sell the concept of the song
I am today very determined to continue my top39 with few posts and the 8th part of this post so prepare for spam
The aftermath of standing up for yourself will be tough, but it's never the wrong choice.
It seems to have concluded. The coda to our ephemeral yet airy performance seems to be here. I feel like my heart has been duped by you. I was led like a lamb to the slaughter.
The lamb that continued to remain agog, sanguine rather, till the end. He expected you to take him to the bucolic meadows, where he could spend the rest of his life lying inert by your side. Where he could watch you all day, drinking your face up like an indigent drinking coke on a blazing summer afternoon. Cosseting you like his first toy, petting and necking you repeatedly on your vulnerable nape. Stealing your earrings just like you stole his heart and then his trust. Acting ludicrously to just allow you a glimpse of what it feels to be loved.
I guess I am just another fool. Akin to the moth that fails to recognize that not every bright shining light is the moon. Akin to the lamb that mistakes its killer for its inamorata.
I left a list i wrote of ways to take care of you and how to approach you when you're struggling with all different kinds if things. I added anniversaries that may come up and what to do and be aware of. I added way to be patient with you. And what the signs look like when you're starting to struggle. I wrote down the things that cheer you up and what helps you get out of your head... i did all these things bc one day sooner or later i wont be here anymore. And i want someone to know how to take care of you. And understand you. Even when I'm gone i will always still love you.
You deserve love, and patience, and kindness
so thankful that I dont really live here because otherwise reality would be so painful
Felt your embrace surrounding my belly, i have understood just in that instants that it’s in that exact moment, you are alone, far from everybody, and in those instants our eletric shocks can unleash themselves, and our connection begin without any interruptions, and there you start to feel, like me, our soft punch in the stomach growing like a crazy, and everything around us become soft, and…

Do not ask me to remember.
Do not try to make me understand.
Let me rest and know you're with me.
Kiss my cheek and hold my hand.
I'm confused beyond your concept.
I am sad and sick and lost.
All I know is that I need you to be with
me at all cost.
Do not lose your patience with me.
Do not scold or curse my cry.
I can't help the way I'm acting,
Can't be different though I try.
Just remember that I need you,
That the best of me is gone.
Please don't fail to stand beside me,
Love me till my life is done.
