Guys, I guessed correctly ALL qualifiers except Croatia. Feel sad for Albina, she pulled of a quality performance with the most catchy song. We will not forget her and much less the song💔
Yes me too I put Croatia instead Sweden to go in the final,cause the performance of Tusse was mediocre. His preformance on Melodifesivalen was so much better. Albina was great 😊
There was so many dance songs like Lithuania, Azerbadjian, Israel, Malta, Cyprus and people maybe forgot about Croatia and it’s very sad they didn’t go through😔
I knew back in january when i first heard tick tock that it wouldnt qualify, its too weak and was overshadowed by many other up tempo female tracks tonight
@@CallmeKira ok i respect your opinion..but comparing to which song she was not good..Let s be jonest if this song was performed by Sweden Russia or some other country..Song would be at least in top 5 in final

Thanks from Ukraine! Croatia, I had really liked the song and the girl, but she didn't perform good enough here, sadly. I had been intending to vote for her, but voted for others instead. Sorry...
Problem for croatia in my opinion is that she basically had the same type of song as isreal, cyprus, azerbadzjan and malta and she was unfortunately the weakest one of these. She lost a lot of votes from fans of the genre to these other entries.
@@brent8407 I completely agree. I’m a very generic person 😂I love pop, and Azerbaijan are my favourite of these, followed by Cyprus, and Malta. I like the girl from Croatia and she owned the stage, but the song was unfortunately not catchy and easily forgettable. She was still better than Sweden though
@@raindropsonroses3919 true it was, but that's the issue if your song is within the same genre and style as 4 other entries. People who love these songs are more likely to vote for those other ones, resulting in croatia getting the short end of the stick and even being outvoted by sweden that might have had less fans of the genre but because it was the only one with this type of song it did receive all of those votes.
@@maghdean she was 100% on stage...And these girl deserves fibal,no one could not tell that these performance do not deserve top 10 in semi final...NO ONE,Sweden always get help from juries. ...

Malta are boring I do not see the appeal, I am from Ireland and we were probably the worst in this semi 😭absolutely embarrassing. Agree with you about Lithuania and Ukraine, brilliant !
She did. I have to be honest and say the Croatian song was weakest and most forgettable of the other similar songs (Azerbaijan, Cyprus , malta) but she is beautiful and has a great voice. She definitely deserved a spot over Sweden anyway

Truly the semi final of death. We lost some fantastic songs/performers tonight but WHAT a return to the Eurovision Song Contest! Can't wait for Thursday and the GF on Saturday
Semi-final of death. That's about right. I said the semis this year would be brutal, and I was right. Semi 1 was a blood bath. Blood bath part 2 incoming.
Semi final 2 is much more open but there are a handful of Good songs there so it's still gonna be hard. From semi final 2 i want Albania, Finland, Latvia, Ireland, Serbia and Moldova to go through 😍😍
Thank you for your support of our song, Wiwibloggs! Albina should have made it. She was perfect. It was just a sheer bad luck. I was also happy for Ukraine, as they are my personal winners here, but regardless, I knew I was gonna be sad tonight when nine countries were read. Especilly, thank you Cinan! Hugs!
Croatia is small country and always i see that they underreted her on Eurovision,finally we have our Albina and they did it again,shame ,big shame that one Sweden go thrue and Croatia not😭
Cyprus, Croatia, Israel, and Azerbaijan all in the same semifinal, it was always going to be a very very tall order for all 4 upbeat young female performers to qualify out of 10, sad for Croatia
@@ivanalesic8133 The balkans have been underrated for years now, which is sad. Croatia having a song that is loved by many people this year since 2010s is a great achievement for them already. It would've been a great Croatian comeback if Albina qualified IMO.
@@pb2885 i wouldnt suprise if Croatia in fhe future bojkot these *whole* performance,we in our country are so mad these time expecally, so i would not suprise that we would not send next year no one,it is not only Albina,before few years we have Roko with wings but maybe if Roko would have Norway wings he vould be in Final😭..
@@alexandrenabais6053 romania had the worst vocals of the night by far. It would have been a robbery if she actually did qualify with that performance. Ireland wasn't that bad but there were clearly better entries. Croatia did deserve it though, would have put her over sweden anytime.

I think that Croatia should stop sending songs to Eurovision. Underrated always and forever... It just doesn't make any sense to send any Croatian song to Eurovision ever again...
Today I watched Go_A’s Kateryna’s ( Ukraine) interview. I didn’t realise she had such a terribly hard childhood. It turned out since she was 8 she and her mother where kicked out of the house they lived by her nice ( in the middle on night in the snow), had no place to live and stayed in a house with no windows where water would freeze during winter. She also almost died from a raptured tumour in her lungs and had part of her lungs removed . I couldn’t watch it without crying . I respect her on a totally different level now. Especially how she was telling the story of her life without any bitterness or self pity .
A few opinions there: Azerbaijan slayed staging , Russia slayed staging,Ukraine slayed staging, Belgium being classy,Israel whistle notes, Ireland is biggest disappointment for me ( almost without colours if you compare her staging to the rest of the semi entries, her singing wasn't great, she needed great support from her backing vocalists but i couldn't heard them sadly),N.Macedonia nice but not enough, Destiny claimed her ticket to the final, Lithuania, Cyprus , Norway as expected;Sweden ( unfair but juries+ people who are thinking that every entry that Sweden choose= top 5).....Romania lost on the stage, sadly i had good guts about Australia,unfortnately Slovenia without power gospel choir isn't good enough to fly to final. And Croatia- minute of silence for ESC fans.
I began to understand even more how much the nomination meant for GoA. Especially after Katya's interview about her difficult childhood and how she almost died of a tumor. 😭
I was in the arena this afternoon (family show) and I have to say that the Croatian entry really stood out in the arena with all the lasers and lights. It was amazing. When I watched it on TV tonight it was still amazing but the vibe I felt that afternoon didn't come through on TV. Definitely deserved a spot though, so sad.. Also wanted Lesley in the final because I really felt her positive energy and her staging was really original and cool. I wish we had more final spots.
Wow im not even a swede, but there is a reason why there are so many popular swedish producers and songwriters, they are just amazing at it. I'm also devastated about Croatia, she killed it. But there is no reason to take Sweden down for this.
I think she had too much to focus on with the over-complicated staging and it took her focus away, she wasn’t connecting with her lyrics because she had too much to think about, and I think her vocals suffered as a result
Personally, I am very satisfied with the qualifiers, considering this semifinal was a bloodbath. I am soo happy for everyone who qualified, especially for TIX, and while I'm sad for the artists who didn't qualify, this was just a very emotional night, seeing Eurovision finally happening after 2 years and with public too!! I felt all the artists were very emotional tonight and in my opinion, it just was a very beautiful night for the Eurovision community all in all. ❤️
@@Ras6200 to be honest I like Russia and I think they will be in top 5 but yes I agree with Norway and don’t like Sweden. Song is good but performance and vocals I didn’t feel .
Two of my big favourites are out. One of them is Australia which I did not thought would make it to the final anyway but still I'm very upset. The other one is Croatia. I wasn't sure about their qualification but my optimism overweighed my pessimism. Devastated that it didn't go through. But I'm very happy for Belgium who I thought would stay in the semi final therefore it's balanced. This was such a tough semi final.
@@abrielrobertsson4160 im from belgium and I am very sursprised we made it. The only explanation I have is that in a semifinal filled with these mediocre party songs it managed to stand out.
Musically speaking, Belgium was by far the best. I liked Ukraine too, their performance was incredibly artistic. Everything else was quite forgettable.
Im glad the normal casual person dont agree with you 😀. Tusse in not for esc fans that like the most orginal song they can find like ukraine that bleed your ears out he is more for the People that like catchy radio songs 👍 like 90% of voting are. Dont be jelous mate
Go Belgiuuuuum! I watched the Semi Final with my Roommates, who usually don‘t watch eurovision and their favourits were Lithuania, Ukraine, Croatia and Norway! Croatia deserved to go through instead of Sweden or Azerbaijan imo.
Obviously they are deserving. I would take Ireland over Belgium or Ukraine personally but you know what? It is what it is. It was a tough semi! Several hard-hitters tonight.
Apparently he wears the glasses because his most noticeable tics with his Tourette's is his eyes. He was so emotional. He seems like a really sweet guy. I thought Vaidotas from Lithuania was going to cry too. I'm sure the relief must be incredible.
Really Loved the song..dont get the negative comments ..Good luck in the finals.. Greets from NYC 🇺🇸 I hope I could vote but I'm American...ps my other favorite was Cyprus
A friendly reminder: if a song didn’t qualify, it simply means it was less liked by the televoters and juries, than the other songs. Everyone who made it to the final deserves to be there. I’m sorry if your favourite didn’t make it, and I know it’s frustrating, but there’s no reason to bring other artists down.
I'm probably way off but I wonder if Norway was announced first to try and reduce the stress on Tix which would heighten his tourettes. On a similar note, I wonder if Iceland will be announced early on Thursday because Dadi's wife is pregnant.
I was very impressed with Belgium and Israel the most!! Well deserved. I feel bad for Albina and Ana the most actually. Malta and Russia already were epic, so they were 100% in the final.
Let's be real: Albina brought Superbowl to Rotterdam, she made everyone happy with this performance, one of the top 3 performances of the night. Her not being im the finals is beyond underrated. This performance screams eurovision. So sad she will not be in the finals which she deserved so much 🇭🇷💜
It's true. Out of the all the female dance-pop performers,charisma-wise she stands out the most. Her vocals never failed me. I hope Croatians are still very proud of her,it's just Europe underrating the Balkan countries.
I'm sorry for Croatia and Albina, but I wouldn't remove any of the finalists to qualify them. The end of the song NOTICEABLY fizzled out live. It wasn't musically interesting enough to win over juries and Female Eurobop fans went for Cyprus and Azerbaijan who popped more
Ok, before announcing Belgium, I was really scared, I wanted Belgium and Croatia and I was so sure Croatia would have gone through and that I was the only one to love Belgium. I am so devastated for Albina 😭
Just comment about some comments and this scandal about Croatia. Yes some of people are right ..It is possible that Croatia will not participate from next year..I am fan of Eurovision but that decision is understandable after this year. This is when someone humiliate you look like..and last time all Europe was lauhing on wings of croatian representative ..And when they were listening that song they were talking only about wings ..but noone commented what voice that guy has/had. This year Norway wit wings..and it s ok..noone is laughing or making jokes ...Really really sad al this !!
Ukraine: BOSS LADY, wins the evening, perfect blend of past and future, tradition and modernity, gives me SO much energy and I can see people dancing to it all summer long Belgium: class, style, elegance, fitting vibe creation, great song, great singing, great reputation, x-factor Geike, Johnny.would.be.proud. I can’t see this winning because it lacks ‘blown awayness’, but Eurovision needs these kinds of acts to get high scores to stay credible and relevant Lithuania: not a classic, but we need this right now Malta: it looks like a gorgeous beautiful delicious pie but when you actually bite in it, it doesn’t taste all that good Russia: liking the beat very much, a little distracted with all that’s going on, and sadly her message gets lost a bit when she raps in Russian. Biggest problem I have here is that what Russia tries to represent isn’t wat their government is all about so I’m a bit confused and don’t know how to interpret it. Sweden: good song, good moves, bad styling, worst singing Norway: good song, cheap staging (as in ‘hmmm we sing about angels and demons, let’s dress up like that and we can stop thinking about it’), TIX loves attention a little bit too much Cyprus: Plastic Barbie nr. 1 with a recycled song Croatia: Plastic Barbie nr. 2 with a recycled song Israel: Plastic Barbie nr. 3 with a recycled song Azerbaijan: Plastic Barbie nr. 4 with a recycled song, but the best of the Barbies Slovenia: Slow-venia Ireland: I think she’s truly a nice person. but 2003 called, it needs its staging back Romania: nerves + singing + dancing at the same time, it’s a challenge Australia: looked and sounded like a scared deer in headlights North Macedonia: sometimes it physically hurts to listen to a song
Ukraine - techno for hillbillies Belgium - Amy Winehouse without vocal capabilities for the poor Norway - Morandi's Angels for Eurovision Russia - folklore music that is the greatest shite ever. Lithuania - generic italodance song. Learn more about music, then comment. As if you could do better than Malta's awesome voice or the whole package of Croatia

I am soo happy for everyone who qualified, especially for TIX, and while I'm sad for the artists who didn't qualify, this was just a very emotional night, seeing Eurovision finally happening after 2 years and with public too!! I felt all the artists were very emotional tonight and in my opinion, it just was a very beautiful night for the Eurovision community all in all. ❤️
Belgium, Cyprus & Ukraine were the best.
Romania and Croatia deserved to be in 😒
They were at the end of my shortlist instead of Russia and Norway.
@@Ras6200 to be honest I like Russia and I think they will be in top 5 but yes I agree with Norway and don’t like Sweden. Song is good but performance and vocals I didn’t feel .
What a tough Semi!!! Thank you guys for covering and so happy for those who qualified even though some are bittersweet 😭💔
Two of my big favourites are out. One of them is Australia which I did not thought would make it to the final anyway but still I'm very upset. The other one is Croatia. I wasn't sure about their qualification but my optimism overweighed my pessimism. Devastated that it didn't go through. But I'm very happy for Belgium who I thought would stay in the semi final therefore it's balanced. This was such a tough semi final.
So happy for Belgium 🔥🔥🔥
Russia, Ukraine, Belgium and Romania got my vote. Unfortunately Roxen didn't qualify! Love from Italy
Can I ask why Belgium? Just curious.
same
@@abrielrobertsson4160 its classic and fine
Very weak live performance of romania tbh, the song was good but she either was way too nervous or she just isnt strong enough vocally.
@@abrielrobertsson4160 im from belgium and I am very sursprised we made it. The only explanation I have is that in a semifinal filled with these mediocre party songs it managed to stand out.
Musically speaking, Belgium was by far the best. I liked Ukraine too, their performance was incredibly artistic. Everything else was quite forgettable.
Croatia 🇭🇷💓
Im overjoyed for Russia, Belgium, and Norway!
Really. What's wrong with them?
YESSSSS FOR BELGIUM!!! 🇧🇪♥️ so sad for Croatia and Australia ♥️
Welcome to a new episode from: jurys loves sweden..
Fun fact: For the last 10 years, Sweden has been a qualifier for the televotes (top 10 in televotes every year)
I’m getting so nervous about my favorite in Semi-Final 2. I really hope the Jury will like Bulgaria.
Belgium, Russia, Sweden and Norway save by the jury
Im glad the normal casual person dont agree with you 😀. Tusse in not for esc fans that like the most orginal song they can find like ukraine that bleed your ears out he is more for the People that like catchy radio songs 👍 like 90% of voting are. Dont be jelous mate
This comment aged so badly... Sweden got more points from the televotes in the final (and that by a significant number)
Go Belgiuuuuum! I watched the Semi Final with my Roommates, who usually don‘t watch eurovision and their favourits were Lithuania, Ukraine, Croatia and Norway! Croatia deserved to go through instead of Sweden or Azerbaijan imo.
What ? Azerbaijan and Sweden better than Croatia.
Nah instead of Israel for sure
Azerbaijan definitely deserved to be in the Final. Her performance was one of the best yesterday.
@@simuzrverdiyeva6289 nah
Are you serious?? Azerbaijan and Sweden SLAYED the stage!
Pissed about Albina
Croatia was robbed by Sweden. So pissed off! Sweden did not deserve to be in the final.
Obviously they are deserving. I would take Ireland over Belgium or Ukraine personally but you know what? It is what it is. It was a tough semi! Several hard-hitters tonight.
Go and cry about it! Såklart är du finländare dessutom 🤣
True there were way better songs then sweden
@@lakehouse9268 vad har det med saken att göra att jag är finländare? Svenska bidraget var helt enkelt medelmåttigt. That’s it!
TIX made me cry when he took off his glasses- never bloody laid eyes on him before!!! ❤
Me too 🥺
Apparently he wears the glasses because his most noticeable tics with his Tourette's is his eyes.
He was so emotional. He seems like a really sweet guy.
I thought Vaidotas from Lithuania was going to cry too. I'm sure the relief must be incredible.
I loved that. Beautiful 🤩
My top 3 is Ukraine, Malta, Belgium, too.
Agree very much!
Belgium is the dark horse this year ❤🇧🇪
Yes ahah Belgique 🇧🇪 ♥️
OMG I was DYING! This Semi was way too full of favorites! So sorry for Roxen ☹
many thanks from Ukraine!
I cried when TIX took his glasses off. So proud to be Norwegian tonight.
Really Loved the song..dont get the negative comments ..Good luck in the finals.. Greets from NYC 🇺🇸 I hope I could vote but I'm American...ps my other favorite was Cyprus
Yeah, that was gimmick of highest order, sry but it was big lol 🤣🤣🤣
We love you, Norway🇦🇿❤️🇳🇴 I’m extremely happy for Tix, so sincere and an amazing person💘💘💘
@@audi0078 ..it was a statement for Tourettes Syndrome awareness not a gimmick
@@mmaakkiinn idc, this is not special olympics, good for him, but i dont fall for that 🤣
A friendly reminder: if a song didn’t qualify, it simply means it was less liked by the televoters and juries, than the other songs. Everyone who made it to the final deserves to be there. I’m sorry if your favourite didn’t make it, and I know it’s frustrating, but there’s no reason to bring other artists down.
Actually it was less liked by televoters OR juries. That is how the voting system is.
I told myself that if Norway qualifies it will be one of the first announced..... I can't believe how right I was!!!! :) ♥
I'm probably way off but I wonder if Norway was announced first to try and reduce the stress on Tix which would heighten his tourettes. On a similar note, I wonder if Iceland will be announced early on Thursday because Dadi's wife is pregnant.
Ukraine know how to do show ❤️
I was very impressed with Belgium and Israel the most!! Well deserved. I feel bad for Albina and Ana the most actually. Malta and Russia already were epic, so they were 100% in the final.
Belgium 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Let's be real: Albina brought Superbowl to Rotterdam, she made everyone happy with this performance, one of the top 3 performances of the night. Her not being im the finals is beyond underrated. This performance screams eurovision. So sad she will not be in the finals which she deserved so much 🇭🇷💜
It's true. Out of the all the female dance-pop performers,charisma-wise she stands out the most. Her vocals never failed me. I hope Croatians are still very proud of her,it's just Europe underrating the Balkan countries.
croatia robbed omg
Thank you Europe for Belgium🙏 after 4 years Back in the final and deserved ❤💛🖤
Congratulations to the qualifiers.
Absolutely no shame for the non-qualifiers. You all slayed.
Cyprus 💖 Russia 💖 Azerbaijan 💖 Ukraine 💖 Malta 💖
I'm sorry for Croatia and Albina, but I wouldn't remove any of the finalists to qualify them. The end of the song NOTICEABLY fizzled out live. It wasn't musically interesting enough to win over juries and Female Eurobop fans went for Cyprus and Azerbaijan who popped more
Ok, before announcing Belgium, I was really scared, I wanted Belgium and Croatia and I was so sure Croatia would have gone through and that I was the only one to love Belgium. I am so devastated for Albina 😭
She was 11th,Belgium 10th,i think for 2 points difference!!
@@ivanalesic8133 hi Ivana, how can you know that? the exact results/points in the semi finals will only be announced after the grand final
@@rickypathy9958 i have spy😉
Croatia was amazing. North Macedonia... that was a lovely coming out video. 🥰
Croatia 🥺
I was really hoping for Belgium and I’m delighted
Just comment about some comments and this scandal about Croatia. Yes some of people are right ..It is possible that Croatia will not participate from next year..I am fan of Eurovision but that decision is understandable after this year. This is when someone humiliate you look like..and last time all Europe was lauhing on wings of croatian representative ..And when they were listening that song they were talking only about wings ..but noone commented what voice that guy has/had. This year Norway wit wings..and it s ok..noone is laughing or making jokes ...Really really sad al this !!
I am so sad for Albina- the best song did not pass ...it is the biggest steal in this semifinals ....Albina you were GREAT !!!
Ukraine: BOSS LADY, wins the evening, perfect blend of past and future, tradition and modernity, gives me SO much energy and I can see people dancing to it all summer long
Belgium: class, style, elegance, fitting vibe creation, great song, great singing, great reputation, x-factor Geike, Johnny.would.be.proud. I can’t see this winning because it lacks ‘blown awayness’, but Eurovision needs these kinds of acts to get high scores to stay credible and relevant
Lithuania: not a classic, but we need this right now
Malta: it looks like a gorgeous beautiful delicious pie but when you actually bite in it, it doesn’t taste all that good
Russia: liking the beat very much, a little distracted with all that’s going on, and sadly her message gets lost a bit when she raps in Russian. Biggest problem I have here is that what Russia tries to represent isn’t wat their government is all about so I’m a bit confused and don’t know how to interpret it.
Sweden: good song, good moves, bad styling, worst singing
Norway: good song, cheap staging (as in ‘hmmm we sing about angels and demons, let’s dress up like that and we can stop thinking about it’), TIX loves attention a little bit too much
Cyprus: Plastic Barbie nr. 1 with a recycled song
Croatia: Plastic Barbie nr. 2 with a recycled song
Israel: Plastic Barbie nr. 3 with a recycled song
Azerbaijan: Plastic Barbie nr. 4 with a recycled song, but the best of the Barbies
Slovenia: Slow-venia
Ireland: I think she’s truly a nice person. but 2003 called, it needs its staging back
Romania: nerves + singing + dancing at the same time, it’s a challenge
Australia: looked and sounded like a scared deer in headlights
North Macedonia: sometimes it physically hurts to listen to a song
Ukraine - techno for hillbillies
Belgium - Amy Winehouse without vocal capabilities for the poor
Norway - Morandi's Angels for Eurovision
Russia - folklore music that is the greatest shite ever.
Lithuania - generic italodance song.
Learn more about music, then comment. As if you could do better than Malta's awesome voice or the whole package of Croatia
Wow! ok++++++
lol you guys i am laughing so hard for your excitement over each qualifier;))))really sweet. greetings from ukraine!
