❗️ATTENTION❗️

This post is for everyone who, along with the Frauchi team, is eagerly waiting for the results of the preliminary round 🎶

For several days now, there’s been a lively debate about who will make it to the semifinals — the level of this year’s contestants makes it hard to make a clear decision right away.

We’re joining in the wait and believe the jury will reach a consensus soon. Who knows, maybe this year we’ll have 19 semifinalists? 🤔

🖤 Fingers crossed and patiently waiting!
