Those three countries are exactly those I did not want in the final. Boring and uninteresting songs in my opinion. Particularly I wanted Australia to qualify, so sad that they didn't :/
Croatia, Ireland and Serbia! My top 3 today and they all did it! 😎 I also liked Slovenia, but I think "Baby & Bambie" were outstanding! Love from Germany ❤🔥(Edit: "Mama Spaghetti" 😁)
Ukraine’s performance at Eurovision last night was simply visceral. This tableau at end evoked so many associations in a single image. For me, it brought back memories of us packed tightly like sardines, sleeping on the floor of a bomb shelter during the Bosnian war in the ’90s.
Croatia!!! 🇭🇷 Baby Lasagna was a king of the evening. Then (Sweden), Ukraine, Cyprus, Portugal, Ireland and Lithuania. Australia...Pity. Im glad Luxembourg did qualify. Greetings from Belarus.
When you mention Rijeka, I would be more then happy to host you, it would be my honor to host wiwblogs team to my house (Im not just telling that, I mean that😻♥️)...it is so great to see Balkan this year in the final...that is all I was rooting for...🇭🇷🇷🇸🇸🇮
Ireland?!? Promoting Satanism is not something that should fascinate us, no matter how much effort is put into making it look production perfect. This is disturbing to the ears, eyes and soul and should ABSOLUTELY not be shown. Ordinary populism and delighting the masses who have no idea about the essence and imbecilely laugh at this Satanism.
@EthanCC3 Okay, I hear you, however why is Israel in the competition and Russia is not? The ESC banned Russia because of the invasion of Ukraine, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) excluded Russia from participating yet they allow Israel?? Corrupt!
Cyprus 🇨🇾 Croatia 🇭🇷 and Slovenia 🇸🇮 . I also like Lithuania 🇱🇹 and Ukraine 🇺🇦 . But as for slovenia i was very sad hearing everyone say that it wouldn’t qualify bc it is one of my faves i always believed that slovenia would make it.
So so so happy people realised how good Ireland, Portugal and especially Slovenia actually are; now we just need to hope the Jury Vote doesn’t sleep on them in the final. Australia will be missed in the final, a true show of culture that deserved to make it.
Guurl, you're very welcome to Croatia any time. For woman solo travel i recommend Cro as one of the safest countries in Eu to do so ❤ Much love from ❤️ Zadar Gutted for Australia and Azerbaijan , loved them so much. Would swap for Cyprus and Finland anytime. Proud of BL of course. He was off the charts. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
So happy about the finalists. It’s great to have all three ex Yu countries qualify! And what a stage! I feel it’s the best ever at Eurovision. Great job, Malmo!
Portugal all the way. The compostion, the emotion, the vocals, the lyrics, the interpretive dance. Let's face it...full package over there! Ireland was impressive too!
@wiwibloggs And not even a single word about it in this “reaction to qualifiers”. It’s like the press coverage on your Instagram account. For you guys there were only two or three qualifiers in that press conference. 😂
@@Jonquil-h Fine but I still prefer Luxembourg to Finland. The all thing is not for me. I loved Croatia last year but Finland looks like a cheap silly version and meaningless.
@@GloriaPires-zy7ii Hi, my dear friend, I am very well thanks how's you? Amazing our girl... and the girls in general...loved Portugal, Serbia, Ukraine Slovakia and of course Ireland so much power in them
I am generally happy with the outcome... Yay Baby Lasagna! Croatia and Ukraine were my top 2 and I was very glad Cyprus made it. But, I would very happily switch out Ireland and Finland for Poland, Australia, or Azerbaijan. I did enjoy a silver haired Johnny Logan singing Euphoria!
I did sort if like Australia this evening but sorry Ireland wiped the floor with Azerbaijan and also Poland, I like her in particular however poorer vocals in the lead up meant Poland didn't make it. Slovenia, Ireland, Cyprus and Serbia just sang better and meant Poland had no chance
I wish my country Croatia wins. Do I think it will win? In order to win, there must not be a significant difference between public vs jury votes. Now, sure, Croatia might be 1st when it comes to public votes. But jury? I cannot see it happening. Jury votes might primarily go to Ukraine, Switzerland and Italy. In that case, I do not see my Croatia winning. Same with Kaarija last year, 1st in public and 4th in jury votes and simply could not win. When Loreen dominated in jury votes, at that point, it was all over, there was no need for public votes at all.
I'm not sure about Ukraine doing well with the jury. They haven't been in the Top 3 of jury votes since 2016, I think, and I don't think this year will be any different. Juries still largely prefer pop.
I know what youre meaning, i have the same issues with my country switzerland that the jury votes be a lot but the public votes will not be enough to win, either way i think that this year is croatia gonna win because of the public votes that gonna be a looot, this is gonna be the revenge of last years finnland that could not win because of the juries, well lets see i wish everybody good luck
CROATIA! BL is the only one of them all who is the author and performer of his own song. He is the most charismatic performer. He has the original text. Looking at the other songs, his is the most recognizable. His energy is contagious. The audience sang and danced with him from start to finish. With the song Rim tim tagi dim performs for the first time as a performer. It's his first performance! In the end, he wrote the lyrics for the album of the band Mono Inc., "Ravenblack", which reached the first place in the official German listenership chart, and Marko received an award for this achievement.
@@priyaravindran6150 juries are often voting for the best as far as singer songwriter goes, see the results for UK in 2022 and Italy last year. I'm predicting that Ukraine will easily come top 3 with the juries.
No suprisse for Slovenia enter to final EV this was acpected ...Raiven have a brilliant voice, artistic stage performance, and unique song with interesting story..almost all likes this song.... only EV bookes was suprrised.😂
My random thoughts: 1. I liked the opening act from last year better. I much prefer when countries showcase their cultures, and Hardkiss ate. Plus, the sequence with the kids was heartwarming. Sweden has done this putting together of popular Eurovision songs together before. Yes, it's trendy, but it's too formulaic and unoriginal. 2. I'm in Ukraine, so I can't vote for them, but I'm utterly impressed by the performance and visuals. Moved me to tears. 3. Ireland is not my cup of tea, but the visuals are stunning. Her vocals are also on point. It's impressive the way she goes from almost a screechy high note to a soft, lower register. 4. Croatia was one of my favorites even before the competition, and it did not disappoint. I love his outfit. Looks like a piraate rocking out. Some of the lyrics are hilarious though: meow cat, please meow back, lmao. My 5 year old would say that. 5. I actually liked Moldova, both as a song and as a performance. I would've preferred it to Slovenia, but I'm not surprised Slovenia got in with all the Balkan countries participating. 6. The people in the arena were loud during a majority of the songs, including Moldova's. So, them being into Australia's performance doesn't indicate much beyond the fact that people were there to have a good time. 7. It's nice to see Lithuania embrace their language once again, and as an electronic music fan, I'm thrilled with all the choices this year! I think this is the first time I can remember that we had so much electronic music at Eurovision. 8. The sound engineers did a great job! 9. Suzanne is always cracking me up with her ducky's rankings/fourth places. She can never stick to the plot, lmao.
Ukraine, Ireland and Croatia were the best. I think Ukraine won the Semifinal. Really liked the raw and raunchy UK staging, well done and not so over the top as I expected. Olly was off key; he needs to get it right this Saturday to be on Top 10.
Thanks to this great channel that first promoted Baybie Lasagna when it was still relatively unknown. The atmosphere is one of the best in Eurovision history. Kudos to Sweden for the top organization, kudos to the great audience, kudos to your channel and kudos to the other contestants from other countries. Greetings from Croatia.
I don’t get the disappointment about Australia nq. I mean Europeans can’t relate to that song. It was pretty predictable. I’m so happy for Cyprus and Finland!
Thank you all who voted for iolanda! So proud of Portugal! Please vote for iolanda in the final! This is a SONG contest, but it seems more like a "who puts the more fireworks or strange things" contest! People are mesmerized by the lights, the stage full of things to complement the act. They don't apreciate the melody, the quality of the song itself. We brought a masterpiece act (song and dance) we don't need "fireworks". It's sad that the contest is more about the visuals than the song. But we're in the final, without the votes of Spain,France,Switzerland,Belgium! 🙌
I don‘t get it why people say slovenia was a nq??? She is so good why she shouldn‘t qualify? The argument with only one witch is bs, sorry. I‘m sooooo happy for SLAYVENIA!

Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia are not just Balkan countries but they are ex Yugoslavian countries with similar mutually intelligible languages, similar culture
I'm quite sure that Slovenians and especially Croatians don't like Serbians at all. I don't know if they will stick together at eurovision, but their people was subjugated and killed by Serbians... And it was only 30 years ago. Maybe they don't hold the grudge in a song contest
@@elisaday1424 I mean, Croatia had a long war to claim its independence from Jugoslavia (which was leaded by Serbians), right? And as far as I know before independence Serbian people owned territories in Croatia, getting richer and richer. But this could come from a Croatian point of view, don't remember. I think that Slovenia must have been luckier, I don't know. And I really hope that today things have changed and all those people and countries live in peace with no grudges. But it seems quite recent to me, not sure that it's that simple
As a Croatian, I was kind of expecting for Marko to qualify, no surprise there. However, I am glad that Luxemburg qualified, Tali was great, one of my favourites.
Not a surprise, I felt a change. There's a new wave of artists who are less interested in the lgb world that is rapidly becoming part of a decadent old generation and they are freshly talented and smart
@@markdowd1Agreed. Missed opportunities. They needed a better music video to help gain support before the contest, and as for the staging, indigenous dancers would have been a feast for the eyes. They are quality, no doubt, but opportunities were missed.
@@stsplit8973 I completely agree. This may seem mediocre to mediocre people. It’s just that some people have ears, eyes and a brain that can listen, watch and analyze deep meaning, while others only have an ass and the whole point is to jerk it to the beat of rim tigi dim
Understand though that for a wildcard like Slovenia, reason I placed a bet on it was her vocals had been consistently stunning I think. I thought something was off about Australia and it wasn't up to scratch, poor vocals and Europe agreed.
I've been following the Eurosong all my life, over 30 years, and I don't remember a situation where the entire arena, plus the press center, sang the song from beginning to end, not to mention the moment when everyone danced with BL. United by music, that's it.😻🇭🇷♥️
Did you watch last year?! Because with Käärijä people went even more crazy, never in history Ivsaw what happened with Finland last year, and the song was in Finnish.
@@irynabordiian8240 Wow, that's called being wrong. Lasagnia for example gets boring after 10 listens, but Portugal not - because it is art. I'm not even from Portugal.
@@analitycznievau, svi su u krivo, osim tebe, ali iznimka potvrđuje pravilo! Bilo je puno lijepih pjesama, ne i posebnih, lijepo, ali već viđen, neke za melankoliju a druge za raspoloženje, pa je svatko izabra što mu odgovara!
Portugal, Ukraine, Serbia and 4th place Slovenia. This one's know to sing. Australia ,I liked the performance, but the vocals on the final is a No. The Irland, come one,she don't know how to sing.,is different? Yes,but..is a No. Croatia,I like his personality, but I saw many performances similar. Grand Final my 5. Ukraine Portugal Switzerland France Luxembourg
Bambie know how to sing, scream is a vocal technique and without proper training it can damage the voice. But since Bambie switched from scream to the soft voice, they trained in this pretty well. Yes it may sound unusual to the common listener of Eurovision, but scream, growl and other extreme techniques are very familiar to those who listen metal, goth etc. music. Many of the metal vocalists are better trained then average pop singer, check Floor Yansen from Nightwish, Sharon from Within Temptation and so on, because in metal you cannot hide behind the effects, poor vocal won't stand a chance it this genre. And thanks for adding Ukraine to top-5 ;)
Sorry. Not on this performance. Ireland and Australia surprised me on negative way. Very disappointed. But Ukraine and Portugal, absolutely amazed me. What a vocals, was really peaceful and beautiful . Love it. Best luck for this 2
The performances by Ukraine and Ireland are tailored for television, while Croatia's performance is for the stage. UA and IR performances are captivating and make you want to watch them again and again, unlike CR's, which is a copy-paste from the national selection and lacks interest.
I think that it's quite unprofessional to suggest that a country has no definite chance of winning despite the fact that it's an ongoing competition and so each contestant still has a fair chance at winning. You can't write someone off especially when they've literally just qualified to the next stage, and so have a wider audience, and no results have been released. What's the point of even competing when people with this attitude essentially see you as a filler performance and already have a winner carved out before the competition has even concluded?
Australia were robbed. They had a pure vibe of peace, love and togetherness which is very much needed in today's world. Australia keep sending your message to the billions!
I was rooting for Serbia, Ukraine and Croatia, glad they qualified! 🇷🇸 🇺🇦 🇭🇷

@@elisaday1424 I mean, Croatia had a long war to claim its independence from Jugoslavia (which was leaded by Serbians), right? And as far as I know before independence Serbian people owned territories in Croatia, getting richer and richer. But this could come from a Croatian point of view, don't remember. I think that Slovenia must have been luckier, I don't know. And I really hope that today things have changed and all those people and countries live in peace with no grudges. But it seems quite recent to me, not sure that it's that simple
Not a word about Portugal. They only talk about their favourites and ignore the others
Serbia made it 🎉
I am this happy but for Slovene brothers !! 🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮
As a Croatian, I was kind of expecting for Marko to qualify, no surprise there. However, I am glad that Luxemburg qualified, Tali was great, one of my favourites.
Silia Kapsis (Cyprus) was amazing! Such a talented girl!!!
Go Silia, go girl! 🤍🇨🇾🤍
Slovenia and Portugal!
I can’t believe Australia did not qualify, it was a beautiful performance
Maybe Europe is not so open for other cultures.
I agree! It was my favorite last night
Not a surprise, I felt a change. There's a new wave of artists who are less interested in the lgb world that is rapidly becoming part of a decadent old generation and they are freshly talented and smart
No surprise there. The staging was empty, huge gap between the two singers. It was always in trouble.
@@markdowd1Agreed. Missed opportunities. They needed a better music video to help gain support before the contest, and as for the staging, indigenous dancers would have been a feast for the eyes. They are quality, no doubt, but opportunities were missed.
Croatia💕
I'm so glad duckie doo had time to call in about ukraine, the performance was in fact amaaaaaazing!
😯? Amazing? Mediocre😐
@@stsplit8973 I completely agree. This may seem mediocre to mediocre people. It’s just that some people have ears, eyes and a brain that can listen, watch and analyze deep meaning, while others only have an ass and the whole point is to jerk it to the beat of rim tigi dim
Thanks "mamma spaghetti" ❤ still hope that we'll be the hosts ESC next year, here in Croatia ❤🇭🇷🐈♥️🇭🇷
I am gutted that Australia didn't qualify. I just think it's such a unique act that desevered to qualify.
Well she was offkey the whole time
Understand though that for a wildcard like Slovenia, reason I placed a bet on it was her vocals had been consistently stunning I think. I thought something was off about Australia and it wasn't up to scratch, poor vocals and Europe agreed.
true. Even though I don't get why Australia is in Eurovision in the first place lol.
@@thatsmeehAustralia is there from the same reason Israel, Cyprus and Armenia can compete.
@@mooks616 yeah, which again I don't understand bc it's called euro-vision :D
I've been following the Eurosong all my life, over 30 years, and I don't remember a situation where the entire arena, plus the press center, sang the song from beginning to end, not to mention the moment when everyone danced with BL. United by music, that's it.😻🇭🇷♥️
Did you watch last year?! Because with Käärijä people went even more crazy, never in history Ivsaw what happened with Finland last year, and the song was in Finnish.
Thanks for your coverage. It is on another level compared to everyone else ❤
Overall it was a good semifinal and I'm happy with the 10 finalists.
The ones that stood up more for me were 1. Ireland 2. Finland 3. Ukraine.
The portuguese song is a MASTERPIECE! And the performance was pure art.
Yes, people with ears should be impressed by this, not by Ireland which is just plain scary.
the average song that no one will remember next year
@@irynabordiian8240 Wow, that's called being wrong. Lasagnia for example gets boring after 10 listens, but Portugal not - because it is art. I'm not even from Portugal.
@@analitycznievau, svi su u krivo, osim tebe, ali iznimka potvrđuje pravilo! Bilo je puno lijepih pjesama, ne i posebnih, lijepo, ali već viđen, neke za melankoliju a druge za raspoloženje, pa je svatko izabra što mu odgovara!
BL❤
I'm so happy for Slovenia ❤
Portugal, Ukraine, Serbia and 4th place Slovenia. This one's know to sing. Australia ,I liked the performance, but the vocals on the final is a No. The Irland, come one,she don't know how to sing.,is different? Yes,but..is a No. Croatia,I like his personality, but I saw many performances similar.
Grand Final my 5.
Ukraine
Portugal
Switzerland
France
Luxembourg
Bambie know how to sing, scream is a vocal technique and without proper training it can damage the voice. But since Bambie switched from scream to the soft voice, they trained in this pretty well. Yes it may sound unusual to the common listener of Eurovision, but scream, growl and other extreme techniques are very familiar to those who listen metal, goth etc. music. Many of the metal vocalists are better trained then average pop singer, check Floor Yansen from Nightwish, Sharon from Within Temptation and so on, because in metal you cannot hide behind the effects, poor vocal won't stand a chance it this genre.
And thanks for adding Ukraine to top-5 ;)
Sorry. Not on this performance. Ireland and Australia surprised me on negative way. Very disappointed. But Ukraine and Portugal, absolutely amazed me. What a vocals, was really peaceful and beautiful . Love it. Best luck for this 2
CROATIA ❤️ BL
The performances by Ukraine and Ireland are tailored for television, while Croatia's performance is for the stage. UA and IR performances are captivating and make you want to watch them again and again, unlike CR's, which is a copy-paste from the national selection and lacks interest.
Ireland surprised me big time, love it!
Portugal was everything 😍😍🤩🤩 🇵🇹
I think that it's quite unprofessional to suggest that a country has no definite chance of winning despite the fact that it's an ongoing competition and so each contestant still has a fair chance at winning. You can't write someone off especially when they've literally just qualified to the next stage, and so have a wider audience, and no results have been released. What's the point of even competing when people with this attitude essentially see you as a filler performance and already have a winner carved out before the competition has even concluded?
Croatia slayed,don"t like Ireland,happy for Serbia and Portugal ❤
Serbiaaaaa...
Luxembourg 🇱🇺 so happy for you. See you at the final.
Australia were robbed. They had a pure vibe of peace, love and togetherness which is very much needed in today's world. Australia keep sending your message to the billions!
In recent months inclusive is slightly becoming integra(tion-a)list, not the love vibe we enjoyed.
It's not a matter of robbery but taste and people liked it less than at least ten other songs tonight
We were robbed! Wonderful message especially after the voice voting how it divided our nation.
Devastated for Australia but so happy for Ireland breaking their NQ drought♥️🇮🇪
CROATIA, OMG 😳THE BEAST...
