When Loreen was like rolling her hands“ and we are waiting and we are waiting”😅

One of strongest semis ever...The other semi was one of the worst semis ever

LATVIA WAS ONLY 2 POINTS BELOW SERBIA (LAST PLACE). LATVIA DESERVED LAST SPOT IN THE QUALIFIERS INSTEAD OF SERBIA WHO JUST GOT DIASPORA VOTES. WE ALL SAW HOW BADLY SERBIA DID IN THE FINAL. WE KNOW LATVIA WOULD HAVE DONE MUCH BETTER!!!

I m so happy for croatia finland serbia norway sweden israel and portugal 🇭🇷🇫🇮🇷🇸🇳🇴🇸🇪🇮🇱🇵🇹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Serbia 🇷🇸❤and croatia🇭🇷 kigs🫅

It’s kinda weird to see how the 2011 and 2019 winning nations (Azerbaijan and The Netherlands) both failed to qualify in the same night!

That one year I don't want Croatia to qualify...

My Qualifiers;

Finland🇫🇮
Sweden🇸🇪
Czechia🇨🇿

Latvia🇱🇻
Israel🇮🇱
Moldova🇲🇩
Serbia🇷🇸
Portugal🇵🇹
Netherlands🇳🇱

Alessandra was about to cry when all of them were hugging her 🥰
It shows how passionate she is 😊

This was my favorite reveal of the two rounds. (Almost) every song the public wanted (and I loved) entered the finals. From Croatia (I found it funny and cool after some re-listening) to Norway (who I was scared for as they announced them for the last moment and I thought that was all for Ale :'( ) and Serbia/Czechia (people were saying Luke and Vesna wouldn't do it, but I had some hope as I loved their songs 😢). Obviously Sweden and Finland into the finals made my day too as I considered both winner alerts before the contest. ❤
But still, I can understand why people are sad with Latvia not making it to the finals. I would have traded Switzerland for them if I had the chance, but still a good semi result table😊

I cry when they say Portugal. Mimicat is my idol. She deserves anything

Croatia - No
Moldova - Yes
Switzerland - Yes
Finland - No
Czechia - No
Israel - Yes
Portugal - Yes
Sweden - Yes
Serbia - Yes
Norway - No

Where the heck is Malta, Azerbaijan, Netherlands and Ireland?

Why didn't they later repeat the countries in French, a real Eurovision tradition?

When Croatia 🇭🇷 qualified first i realized that means one of my favs cant qualify

Im from belguim and i didnt like that the netherlands not make it respect

When there was one spot left and norways name hasn’t been called my brain went kraizah

Me: already knows who qualified and won the contest this year
Also me: nervous sweating, panicking, freaking out

Перед объявлением последнего,10-го финалиста,солист латвийской группы уже изменил выражение лица,прикрыл глаза,кивнул-"ну ясно.это не мы."(в середине процесса объявления результатов вид у него был ещё другой - волнительное ожидание,надежда). И ведь немного совсем баллов не хватило.Жаль..Ну тем не менее - 11-е место. Успехов ребятам в дальнейшем творчестве,и просто в жизни. Песня на повторе,чудесная,прекрасная,завораживающая,душевная.Звучащая в сердце,а,скажем,на тракторе не все умеют ездить.😃😃 Ну уж какие результаты есть,такие и есть,ничего не поделаешь.Очарования песней от Латвии от этого не убавится. Включу, пожалуй, в энный раз.🎶🎶

Switzerland was so happy that they were qualify

Lets go switzerland i just love the song

Hannah Waddingham: The last finalist of the first semifinal is…
Me: Please don’t say Norway. Please, please don’t say Norway.
Hannah Waddingham: Norway!
Me: WHAT?! NO!!!!

Serbia🇷🇸 Norway🇧🇻 Switzerland🇨🇭 Albania🇦🇱 desereved final definitely

How did Croatia qualify over Malta honestly, feel like they literally were thinking “what’s the weirdest thing we could do for a performance” and then kept outdoing each other until they landed on their final song. Just because it’s super weird doesn’t mean it’s good

Sweden, serbia, croatsia and Finland

У Серба аш рука затряслась лежа на лице) искренне пришёл в шок )

the netherlands said "i don't believe in god anymooore..." and yet she was praying. checkmate, lutherans

czechia gave me chills with their performance

I absolutely love how many people were screaming Norway lmao. Serbia’s singer’s reaction was too cute I can’t I love him so much-

Força Portugal !!! 🟥🟨🟩 💯

Loved this semi-final! ❤ All of them were awesome!

Can I just stated that staging for contestants this year is poor and for all guest artists far better!
Really disappointed by UK work!

De Paris💋🇫🇷....Freed from NATO/OTAN😑😑😑
SERBIE🇷🇸 ISRAËL🇮🇱SUÈDE 🇸🇪.Le Top 3 Français .Bonne chance à tous et Toutes à Liverpool de toute façon (anyway....).🇫🇷💋🇷🇸🇮🇱🇸🇪

I want to vote for Alessandra now just because that was cruel!!! She was so scared!

How the hell did Croatia get through?! It was horrible - psychodelic, they were dressed like military, & they were proudly holding MISSILES! Have they forgotten which country won last year?!

I am Portuguese and our song this year is pure garbage. I am surprised how we are in the final

What the hell, what happened to Italy? Where is it?

And do not forget to vote for song number 13 in the final tomorrow thank you cha cha cha💚💚💚💚🥇🏅🏆🎖💚💚🖤🖤🖤🖤🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

Congratulations Käärijä i knew it🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🥇🏅🏆🎖❤❤❤❤💚💚💚💚💚🖤🖤🖤
