Norway's Agnethe Johnsen was struggling with her disease at that time. Her song "Icebreaker" was about that, struggling with bipolar disorder, and how she and a friend support each other to get through tough times. At that time she had a down period and she managed to perform anyway! SO proud of her! The change in tempo when the chorus starts reminds me of how they finally manage to break through the ice, which means depression and feeling low, and that the water gets smooth for a while.
For me the slowdown represents the struggle to break through the ice. Great performance and staging which was unfortunately underappreciated then, though not by me. Many more since then seem to have come to understand how good it was.
One singer sent chills up my spine with the power of her voice, her precision, the production, her poise and presentation. Dami Im from Australia is head and shoulders above the others DESPITE the incredibly high level of talent this year. A thunderously strong song and a brilliant performer.
Sweden are so INCREDIBLE and AMAZING as an organisators!!! Really well done! I cant wait for finals and see what surprises You will have on Saturday. Great job! :)
OMFG people are right: Petra SHOULD host the ESC every year! And that "Man vs. Machine" dance battle was exquisite; Sweden has done an incredible job this year, I really can't imagine how they could possibly have made it any better!
Wow i am impressed by the performances of POLAND, UKRAINE and ISRAEL. The polish singer what a voice wow! He sings so correctly...i thought it was a play back! WOW> And Georgia, i kinda like this psychedelic sound. Well done! CONGRATULATIONS
+Panis Angelicus I think during the intro he took half tone upper then the music hence you get that unpleasant transition before the real music starts... but then he was kind of in the music ... though still had some pitch issues... But overall I like this song.... wish him a good performance in the final.
So unfair with Belarus :( But loved the show and the theme. Good job Sweden :) You are the best host ever! Petra and Mans are so much fun :) Too bad there's no Mans or Loreen to vote for this time! Wish i were there as ever :( Good luck in the final!
thanks for such cute words and support. All the love from Belarus💖 P.S. I want Petra and Mans be the hosts every year. So incredible energy and charming personalities!👍
Poland 17:44 I love your touching song Belarus 29:48 I'm pity for you. You performance is very original and bold Ireland 40:47 I like boy band Westlife and handsome guy Nicky FYROM 44:43 In my opinion Kaliopi has most amazing vocals in second final
first off all very strong participants this year. A Lots of songs and performances are awesome. Top 5: Ukraine, Hungary,Poland, Azerbaijan, Czech Republic
#LATVIA!!! Tonight, Justs proved that he didn't need a sophisticated show, fireworks, dancers, weird outfit and so on. All he needed was a microphone and a great public in order to conquer the stage, the public, Europe. Passion, energy, positivity, emotion, that cruel desire to give its best are the words that describe best his performance. He was by far the best of all contestants and I really hope to see him performing for the third time in this competition. He is my winner, no matter what. #Riga2017 #GoJusts
+Euxiphipops77 I didn't expect that he wouldn't pass. I'm so sad that I can't vote for him. By the way, Poland was great tonight. Love from Romania! :)
It's really cool semi-final! My top from this semi-final: 1. Ukraine 2. Poland 3. Australia 4. Bulgaria 5. Latvia 6. Serbia 7. Belarus (-) 8. Macedonia (-) 9. Lithuania 10. Belgium Why is Georgia qualified for the final? I'm really shocked... ((
The ladies from Australia and Norway did the best job. Im so sad the beauty from Norway didnt make it to the finals for she would easily melt all hearts of ice. Im with you Norway, best regards from Poland!
Sweden, show this year are great! Im in love with that dance with robots, with the stage, with the operator's work, with all this new effects! And it is not even the final! I adore it, thank you!
Belgium-not a slow and boring song-i just wanna dance listening to the song-they don't need 10.000 special effects for a super awesome performance-and the lyric isn't about love or depressing stuff honestly this is my fav c:
+lasha kvinikadze I'm from Belgium and I'm gonna be honest ours was different to but it was enjoyable. 3yrs old must have voted because of the strobe lighting
Наш Сергей Лазарев самый лучший и первый!!!! Мы гордимся его выступлением, его талантом!!! БРАВО ЛАЗАРЕВУ!!!! МОЛОДЕЦ ВСЕ ОТРАБОТАЛ ДОСТОЙНО, НА ВЫСШЕМ УРОВНЕ!!!
Magnificent performing Dami. Australia all the way..So proud of you, All the very best Dami. Love you so much as always with all our #HeartBeats #DamiArmy 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Все крутые, всех люблю и за всех переживал. Сам из России и конечно болею за Сережу, но было очень приятно, что прошла Украина, и плевать на текст ее песни, они все равно родные. Жалко, что не прошла Беларусь, уже второй раз подряд. Жалко Калиопи, жалко Швейцарию и Норвегию, всех жалко. У них чудесные песни и номера! Было приятно на всех смотреть.
***** а кому раздавали на разграбление? Это создавалось все совместно, а развалилось Ельциным. Так что все претензии в Москву, развалили и раздали именно там. А до этого все жили мирно и работали все одинаково. И создавали блага одинаково.
какие же все-таки русские молодцы! Благодаря своей доброй , широкой душе они выше той грязи и клеветы , которой, увы, поливает ее весь мир. В таком алчном, жестоком мире, стоящем на краю пропасти, должна быть страна, излучающая мир, добро и свет! И это РОССИЯ! И да победит она и выстоит до последнего против лжи и несправедливости!!! Россия+Украина+Беларусь навсегда вместе. НАВСЕГДА братья, несмотря ни на что!👪💞🌈🍀
Poland- my all time favorite song ever.😍💋❤🔥Michal is a super star. It makes me smile watching this now in 2023 as this was the very moment in 2016 I first heard Michal. I love the way he bows at the end.
Multi-talented hosts!!!! 12 points!!!! They host, they dance , sing live or not still 👏🏽 And they went back to hosting with just a few seconds break ... wow👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽
The real winner of this was Dami Im from Australia, one of the most amazing performances and vocals I have ever heard, and This is how we do it in Australia, listen and learn. Shame she came second but we sure got the attention of the world through this magnificent performer!!
@Allan McKenzie I liked Ukraine better but Australia was second for me. Anyway she got second place, so that's very very good. It's a big achievement to get into top 10 songs in the final.
Ukraine (so good vocal and song, had a goosebumps, make me cry everytime when I listen), Latvia (so powerful and amazing singer!), Belgium (love funk and perfomance), Bulgaria (nice song and singer), Georgia (just love this song, make me want to dance) my favs
I really liked how Kaliopi has sung. Such a strong and powerful voice and song. It is such a pity she didn't make it to the Final. But participation is already awesome! I am glad I could hear this wonderful song and voice. I liked her already with her Cirno i Belo a few years ago. I think she is wonderful!
Happy for Georgia, it would have been ugly to not see either Montenegro and Georgia into the final, they've both worked really well and made good shows. What a performance from Kaliopi and a very nice and powerful song, she would have worth the place into the final.
Congrats to Belgium and Lithuania, such fantastic choreography and catchy tunes! Good luck from an Aussie... not really sure why we're in it either but hey, it's just more music to enjoy and Dami killed it when she was on X Factor so good choice there!
As a bassist and music lover in general, I was very impressed by Belgium's funky entry this year. Happy feel-good song with lots of energy + some cool dance moves on top of it (I see some MJ/Jackson 5 influence in there)! That one really stood out in comparison to the same old generic/bland pop songs that otherwise fills the entry list. Greetings from Norway! Go BELGIUM!

+WarmerVlad Thank you! It's nice for the people of Ukraine!
Я Українець но выступление учасника от Белоруссии заслуживает финала еше когда Иван выступал на нашем отборе на Евровидение мне понравилась его песня.
am i the only one person, who think that opening vintage song was the best one?
Все крутые, всех люблю и за всех переживал. Сам из России и конечно болею за Сережу, но было очень приятно, что прошла Украина, и плевать на текст ее песни, они все равно родные. Жалко, что не прошла Беларусь, уже второй раз подряд. Жалко Калиопи, жалко Швейцарию и Норвегию, всех жалко. У них чудесные песни и номера! Было приятно на всех смотреть.
А что там с текстом не так

I was in love with Petra when she said 'No, I prefer the italian song!'
Big kisses from Italy
I really liked how Kaliopi has sung. Such a strong and powerful voice and song. It is such a pity she didn't make it to the Final. But participation is already awesome! I am glad I could hear this wonderful song and voice. I liked her already with her Cirno i Belo a few years ago. I think she is wonderful!
Happy for Georgia, it would have been ugly to not see either Montenegro and Georgia into the final, they've both worked really well and made good shows. What a performance from Kaliopi and a very nice and powerful song, she would have worth the place into the final.
POLAND FOR WINNER!!!! SUCH AN AMAZING SONG, HIS VOICE IS MAGIC!

Superb. Congratulations to all.
I'm so proud on my own country - SERBIA. Finally we have beautiful song with good message!
I did not like too much Israel in the clip, but alive the guy did a really good job so did the other guy from Latvia. My top 5 tonight: Latvia, Serbia, Australia, Bulgaria and Israel :) (forgot to mention Lithuanian was also fantastic alive!)
LOVED LITHUANIA, AUSTRALIA AND BULGARIA ... BEAUTIFUL ENERGY FORM THESE 3 SONGS, THEY MADE ME FEEL SO GREAT. MUSIC IS A TRUE BLESSING FOR MY SOUL
HOPE THEY CAN GET ONTO TOP5
EXCELLENT SHOW. EVERY YEAR GETS BETTER. FOR ALL OF THOSE HATERS WHO AFFIRM EUROVISION IS ONLY ABOUT THE SONGS, THEY ARE WRONG
EUROVISION IS ABOUT MUSIC, FASHION, HIGH - TECH, EFFECTS, IT IS A TRUE SHOW OF LOVE, UNITY AND FRIENDSHIP, TRYING TO PROMOTE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL WE HUMAN BEINGS CAN BRING TO THE TABLE
