Why nobody believed in Norway? He‘s not a joke! I loved it since the beginning, although I don’t like the staging either, but it’s a great song and he is memorable. Forgot about some others already
Mixed emotions here, was with some friends, and when they called Malta and Belgium (where we live) we yelled like crazy. But Romania 😔 Our host is from there and she was so gutted. Besides this, we all objectively thought Roxen deserved to go through, and had our picks for others that didn't deserve it. So yeah, that was emotional, but hey what a night, and FORZA MALTA 🇲🇹 Cheers for now 😁 PS: Ħadt ħafna gost nisimgħek tuża naqra Malti!
Grazie David! I’m glad that Malta was a sure qualifier this year and we didn’t have that extra stress that comes before. What a shame about Romania though. The staging was just not working and it ruined her beautiful vocals :( I’m wondering whether juries put her last now? :( we’ll find out soon.
@@ThePeaceAround Definitely a relief, I don't remember the last time I felt so confident in Malta's chances. That's the general consensus on Romania, the juries ranked her lowly :( The performance looked ok, but as you said, it took what were stellar vocals, and made them seem less so. The glitch in the jury final can't have helped either. Oh well, all the best to Roxen in their career!
It was a very strong list of contenders and such an open contest. Belgium! I’m so glad that they stood out enough and were appreciated. I’m wondering if Romania completely bombed in both halves? You said it could flop...and you were right!
This is only my opinion, but i thought Norway would be better with all the cheers, awards and fist place, but honestly i think it could've been better. But of course its ok!!! Greetings from Lithuania!💛💜
The staging concept was good, but executed badly. Lesley’s vocals were breathy and strained at times. All in all, it got lost amongst the other songs and performances which were more simple but effective.
Dude, I was so happy when he was called. The British commentators made fun of him and his song the whole way through and didn’t once mention who he was and what his story was. I’m glad UK weren’t voting tonight. But honestly, I’m so happy he got though. :)
@@ThePeaceAround That's amazing! So I'm sure you're both very proud of Malta this year. We've been going insane here tonight, can't imagine what would happen if we actually won it finally!
My mum said she got goosebumps during Malta’s performance. All the fans trashed the staging and outfit pre-contest, but after seeing the whole thing I got serious winner vibes. The staging was well put together and I like how the lighting cued with the song :)
I just look at what I want to qualify than predicting. Sweden have always qualified and I suppose they have the money for the best effects but normally I find them overrated. This song still reminds me of the overrated Russian song from a few years back. I thought Hooverphonic had a better song last year. Azerbaijan have good dancing and performance but not that good a melody for me. Not sure on the Russian song. Croatia has been one of my favourites this year and I thought they did good. Slovenia is one of the better melodies/vocals in the semi. And I thought Romania did ok, apparently her jury performance wasn't as good.
I'm Swedish and I really liked Slovenia. But Malta are a clear winner this year! Great performance. Cyprus performance was ten times better than the song. She was second best after Malta
Lmao I know right! Haha. When Elena started singing on the floor he sat up 😂. Cyprus and Malta were the best tonight. Belgium really impressed me too :)
Mostly horrible choices! Great about Belgium and Sweden, but such awful songs are in, esp. Russia, Norway - Malta is not a deserving song! Sorry, disagree! Belgium is the best of these! No Ireland? Ridiculous! Thankfully no Australia! Really disppointing choices!
Everyone underestimated Norway...I'm an American newer to Eurovision, but I thought TIX did a great job, and his vulnerability won over the audience!!
everyone shat on him because he wasnt Keiino, and kept saying he wouldnt qualify. Then when he did qualify everyone was shocked.
Azerbaijan, Ukraine and Belgium ♥️♥️♥️
I’m so glad they all went through!
Great to see the passion u have for the ESC.

Thrilled for Belgium, sad about Australia and Ireland. A great show on the whole.

Дякую за підтримку України!!! 💙🇺🇦💛
Ласкаво просимо! 💛💙
Amazing and emotional video 💕
Love your reaction. Love that Belgium went through. Looking forward to your prediction of SF 2
My favorite 3 of the 1st semi final were Cyprus Belgium and Norway..trying to like Malta but it screams Beyonce and Lizzo
It’s definitely Lizzo vibes, maybe Beyoncé with vocals. I quite like it but I can see why some don’t get it. It’s quite different :)
This is only my opinion, but i thought Norway would be better with all the cheers, awards and fist place, but honestly i think it could've been better. But of course its ok!!! Greetings from Lithuania!💛💜
Hata Hari very good stage show musics and show girls.
Ireland🇮🇪 was by far my fave- you were both right in predicting they wouldn't get through, but why?...🤔
The staging concept was good, but executed badly. Lesley’s vocals were breathy and strained at times. All in all, it got lost amongst the other songs and performances which were more simple but effective.
Yup Belgium was all jury.
No, televotes too in the semifinal
Croatiaaaaa🇭🇷💓

@@ThePeaceAround Me too 😉👍💞
Italy is the real, winner this year. They are powerful and perfect 😍😍
Greatings TIX 😍😍
the bookmakers said Belgium would qualify!
Azerbaycan 🇦🇿❤❤❤
How do you know Maltese?! Was so lovely to hear someone British speak in my native tongue so unexpectedly haha!
My dad is Maltese so I learned the language from him and his family :) I speak very badly though haha.
@@ThePeaceAround That's amazing! So I'm sure you're both very proud of Malta this year. We've been going insane here tonight, can't imagine what would happen if we actually won it finally!

@@ThePeaceAround pls vote for malta on sataurday we need all the help we have no noughbers.
Dad is just taking a major L on his prediction
I can guarantee that he wasn’t on crack but he really enjoyed Slovenia and thought she had the best vocals. He still got 6/10 which is quite good :)
Come sei bella 👍🇮🇹
I wished Australia qualified
I just look at what I want to qualify than predicting.
Sweden have always qualified and I suppose they have the money for the best effects but normally I find them overrated. This song still reminds me of the overrated Russian song from a few years back.

Azerbaijan have good dancing and performance but not that good a melody for me.
Not sure on the Russian song.
Croatia has been one of my favourites this year and I thought they did good. Slovenia is one of the better melodies/vocals in the semi. And I thought Romania did ok, apparently her jury performance wasn't as good.
Croatia !!!
🇲🇹🇲🇹🇲🇹🇲🇹💥💥💥💥💥
Couldnt understand why Belgium was included instead of Croatia or Romania. Greeting from Portugal
Im sad for my country: Ireland .... But i LOVED Slovenia.... HOW THE FUCK did Norway get through
4:10 Why? 😇
Because she was peng 🔥
🇺🇦❤️
🇦🇿😍🇦🇿😍🇦🇿😍
you are soo cutee
Hahahaha wonder why dad like Cyprus? 🙏😅
I'm Swedish and I really liked Slovenia. But Malta are a clear winner this year! Great performance. Cyprus performance was ten times better than the song. She was second best after Malta

Dad has the better taste... say hello to him!
🇮🇱🇦🇿
SERBIA IS THE BEST!!🇷🇸❤🎶
You are too cute to be a person wanting israhell to go through!
I understand you don’t worry. I’m supporting Eden as someone from Beta Israel as the first Ethiopian Jewish person to be in ESC! That’s all.
The dislike is Albina
Mostly horrible choices! Great about Belgium and Sweden, but such awful songs are in, esp. Russia, Norway - Malta is not a deserving song! Sorry, disagree! Belgium is the best of these! No Ireland? Ridiculous! Thankfully no Australia! Really disppointing choices!
The problem with Ireland is that the song was great, but complex staging and weak vocals let it down. That’s why it didn’t qualify.
