The only favourite that lost I'm salty about is Terra - Tanxugueiras. The singers were better than any of others in the final and song was an absolute banger. 73% of televotes and they still were 3rd. Benidorm's voting system must change.
I don't know if What To Make Of This would have been a better Eurovision entry than Hope, but I love that song so much anyway! I'm glad it placed as high as it did and that it introduced me to the band, Minimal Wind really were the ultimate dark horse of Eesti Laul this year
@@EpixEurovisionGuy "Give that wolf a banana" is in my top 20 for now but "Someone" would have easily been in my top 3. But Subwoolfer's song is good nonetheless.
What I preferred winning: Australia: Dreamers!!!! Croatia: Moli za nas Malta: Ritmu Sweden: Medina, but I would have taken Anders Albania: Theje if he would have kept it all in Albanian... Germany: I wanted Pump It but that was shot down. I like Swear to God and Rockstars Ukraine 💙💛: Liked all three, Nozzy Bozzy the most _______ Did not come second but still want to mention: Vedran (Slovenia), Tanxu (Spain) and E-An-Na (Romania)
Would’ve preferred 2nd places in Italy North Macedonia Lithuania (Barely, Monika’s great too) Ukraine (Nozzy Bozzy over Stefania) Norway (Would’ve taken most songs over GtWaB, but also Someone over DoU :)) Malta Denmark probably (really don’t like either, but The Show is a better live song) And Sweden :)
Correction: Austria's 2nd choice was "Das Meer" performed by Anger. Das Meer and Halo were the shortlisted songs before they decided to choose Halo. Also the same case with Armenia, although it was only revealed after you made this video.

Albania, Denmark, Croatia, Latvia, Portugal, Norway, Malta, Finland, Israel, Serbia, Romania, Sweden are all better than the winners for me (which doesn't mean the winners were bad). Also like Australia, North Macedonia, Spain, Czech Republic and Italy
There are quite many countries who's nf winners and runner-ups are equally good for me or I don't really care about neither of them. Also, there are some countries who definitely made the right choice and vice versa (in my opinion, of course!) I strongly prefer the winner: Lithuania Ukraine Slovenia Iceland Finland Ireland Czech Republic Estonia Poland I strongly prefer the runner-up: Albania Croatia Malta (especially after they choosed I Am What I Am instead of Out of Sight) Off-topic but what do you think about Bulgaria and Georgia? They seem to be quite sure outsiders but I actually like both of them...
I agree with most of the countries, especially Malta should have picked Ritmu. But I do like the second song a lot more than what she originally had. From Serbia I don't really care about either, I only really liked Zorja from that selection. But Bulgaria and Georgia.. I made a reaction video to Bulgaria so you can check that out, but generally I don't mind it at all, I don't get all the hate it has received. But at the same time it is very bland and quite boring. Georgia is ok, the staging could elevate it, but I have no huge feelings towards that as well. Both are okay 😀
@@EpixEurovisionGuy Yeah, I feel a bit sad, especially about Bulgaria. Ever since their song was released, and it was long ago, it has been ranked last in most of the tops I've seen and nobody seems to care anymore. I honestly don't think this song really is that bad. Imo, it's pleasant and enjoyable and even not boring. I hope (and I think, there is potential) that their live performance will elevate the song quite a lot.
I love the Icelandic song. Their second was my personal last place of their whole selection 😂😂 and they stand out with this as well, just in a different way. I think it has a decent chance of qualifying. And you're right about the hurricane thing. It confused me multiple times while making this vid 😂 and then there is of course Hu Hu Hu Hurricane from Serbia 🤣
@@EpixEurovisionGuy Well, we have an overload of guitar songs by female singers in the first semi final though. Not sure if they can really stand out like this besides the native language.
@@diekommentarekommentiererin true, but in the sea of female guitar songs, this is still something different imo. It's main competitor being Saudade, Saudade, but I rate Iceland way higher than Portugal. It is possible tho that they will cancel each other out and something crazier will qualify. We'll see 😀
@@robinoswald Well there's a fair point either way, but to get as many songs in, I decided to take the next song from the one that goes to Eurovision. There was a little text mentioning that actually Wellboy was third before all the mess that followed.
Poland made a great choice actually River is a contender for a top 10, meanwhile Paranoia could completely flop and not even qualify. If it qualified, it would stay on the right side of the scoreboard
The only favourite that lost I'm salty about is Terra - Tanxugueiras. The singers were better than any of others in the final and song was an absolute banger.
73% of televotes and they still were 3rd. Benidorm's voting system must change.

Finally some love for that song. It’s honestly great. My favorite song from the selection as of recent
RITMU should have won for Malta.

OMG I DO DID NOT KNOW THAT VOYAGER DID TRY TO EUROVISION LAST YER WOOO I LOOVE PROMISE
I really wanted Alban with theje, but I like Ronela too.
Dreamer and Ritmu.
If "Someone" had won, it would have been very high in my top !
Agree, same with death of us for me, but I am still glad Subwoolfer won and it is very high in my ranking as well 😀
@@EpixEurovisionGuy "Give that wolf a banana" is in my top 20 for now but "Someone" would have easily been in my top 3. But Subwoolfer's song is good nonetheless.
Ritmuuuuuu bruh and also Eli Huli
What I preferred winning:
Australia: Dreamers!!!!
Croatia: Moli za nas
Malta: Ritmu
Sweden: Medina, but I would have taken Anders
Albania: Theje if he would have kept it all in Albanian...
Germany: I wanted Pump It but that was shot down. I like Swear to God and Rockstars
Ukraine 💙💛: Liked all three, Nozzy Bozzy the most
_______
Did not come second but still want to mention:
Vedran (Slovenia), Tanxu (Spain) and E-An-Na (Romania)
Pump it or Eskimo Callboy in general would have been iconic! But Rockstars is actually good as well 😀
It was the tale of two Dreamers missing out: Dreamer (AUS) and Blinded Dreamers (ISR). Otherwise I think voters got it pretty much right.
wht? two hurricanes? and Hurricane named band serbia last year before that year
Aidan for Malta
Alban for Albania
Tanxugueiras for Spain
Katla for Iceland
Lara for North Macedonia
This would have been great 🥲
Would’ve preferred 2nd places in
Italy
North Macedonia
Lithuania (Barely, Monika’s great too)
Ukraine (Nozzy Bozzy over Stefania)
Norway (Would’ve taken most songs over GtWaB, but also Someone over DoU :))
Malta
Denmark probably (really don’t like either, but The Show is a better live song)
And Sweden :)

The chorus of Ireland's second placed song reminds me of Daz The UK 2006
Superman is this real winner of 2022😂😂😂😂😂
Oha Burak Yeter'e bak sen, biz gidemiyoruz o gitmiş 😅🙈🇹🇷🖐🏻
AMINATA & ANDERS ♥ ♥... and I prefer RIGOBERTA for Spain, although I love Tanxugueiras, they were 3rd.
But like ashes of yesterday got 2nd in Ireland
Voyager!
RITMUUUUUU AIDAN
There are quite many countries who's nf winners and runner-ups are equally good for me or I don't really care about neither of them. Also, there are some countries who definitely made the right choice and vice versa (in my opinion, of course!)
I strongly prefer the winner:
Lithuania
Ukraine
Slovenia
Iceland
Finland
Ireland
Czech Republic
Estonia
Poland
I strongly prefer the runner-up:
Albania
Croatia
Malta (especially after they choosed I Am What I Am instead of Out of Sight)

@@silencestation557 Yea it is defo not bad just not a standout. I can listen to it, but I won't put it on myself 😀
Finland
Kalush was second on Ukraine national final.
There‘s not really a point in including the internally selected ones
Eurovision 2022 would be better overall if 2nd places won their national selections :)
I might agree 🤔. Or at least kinda more interesting.
Typically I say the same every year, but this time... I think most winners are better than the runner up's. But.. many great songs finished lower 🙁
For Ireland, Janet came 2nd, not Miles
The tiebreak rule is that whoever had the most televote points wins, Miles got 8 and Janet got 4
Sara jo😭😭😭😭😭😭
So in semi 1 runners ups are better, but in semi 2 winners are better
Iceland could have stood out, but they blew it.
Funny that two songs called Hurricane finished 2nd 😂
I love the Icelandic song. Their second was my personal last place of their whole selection 😂😂 and they stand out with this as well, just in a different way. I think it has a decent chance of qualifying. And you're right about the hurricane thing. It confused me multiple times while making this vid 😂 and then there is of course Hu Hu Hu Hurricane from Serbia 🤣

Wasnt stefania ukraine's 2nd place?
Yes, but as the actual winner pulled out, Stefania was the new winner
@@EpixEurovisionGuy I don't think so - Alina is not allowed to go to Eurovision, but she still remains to be the winner of Vidbir.
@@robinoswald Well there's a fair point either way, but to get as many songs in, I decided to take the next song from the one that goes to Eurovision. There was a little text mentioning that actually Wellboy was third before all the mess that followed.
@@EpixEurovisionGuy Yeah, I see your point, fair enough:))
Conf3ssions and Reykjavík daughters would've won if their national finals didn't have a stupid second round
Croatia 🇭🇷
Australia 🇦🇺
Israel 🇮🇱
Yeah don't know how I'd feel about this 🤣. Israel, Serbia, Latvia and Croatia are definite improvements.
still not over Rigoberta 💔
Croatia ☹️😶
The good: most my favorites are there
The bad: Anders Bagge for Sweden
Malta best
the big 5 is better with 2nd places wtff
Eli Huli for Israel
I felt for Sweden's Bagge and Ritmu was better
THANK GOD BOSSY BOSSY DIDN'T WIN FOR UKRAINE THO
That song was great imo
serbia would’ve been my winner for the 4th year in a row had they chosen sara jo, zorja or even angellina probably
Zorja would have been high in my top 40, but any other song from the national selection... Nope 😅
Serbia would've won
omg i didnt realise that Miles Graham came second in our national final 😱😱😭
I was shocked as well. Hands down the worst song in the selection 😂
Yeh he tied with Janet but got more from public so came ahead of her
Anders and Alban. Should've won their national finals
France and Poland made huge misstakes...
Poland made a great choice actually
River is a contender for a top 10, meanwhile Paranoia could completely flop and not even qualify. If it qualified, it would stay on the right side of the scoreboard
This could be the biggest blunder by France since Waterloo. That 2nd place was well better than the song they have sent.
I think my favourite is still Soa tho. But Nuit Pailine is really good as well. Reminding me of some retro songs from 80s/90s 😀
wow, the countries really made the best choices (except latvia. latvia wasted aminata and for that reason should burn in hell this year)
