I feel like all of the qualifiers (besides the obvious) really did deserve it this year. Even though I lost some that I liked (San Marino being the main one) there was no one that I felt like was obviously robbed this year I’ve never been the biggest fan of Belgium’s song but I did pour one out for them in your honor after tonight
As an italian I can tell you, that in my country we appreciate vocals more than anything else, and I'm pretty sure french people do the same. For once real music won over autotune (sorry Belgium).
@giorgio1826 Thank you so much! Italy and France has such an amazing songs this year. Even Germany! That voice wow! Not some dirty panty performances like Finland...
I feel like it's a song that people's mothers like! My friend's mum loves it, my dad likes it, etc. I also love it personally. I think it's one that older people like more and maybe that's what pushed it through
I'm sooo happy for Dons! He has been such a lovely charming presence on social media and seemingly behind the scenes at Eurovision. And of course his voice is great and you could see his emotions on his face when he performed. Really pleased for Latvia!
This semi-final had so many bops and so much crazy stuff happening on the stage. Latvia didn't bring any gimmicks or over the top staging they kept it authentic, simple, and powerful. I couldn't be happier for Dons and Latvia.
Me not so much. I found the performance rather dissapointing, especially when compared to the others who did make it to the final. I do agree with Estonia, very happy to see then through
@@cedriccappelle2036 thats fair enough! I see where you’re coming from, though i enjoyed how they engaged with the audience rather than just on themselves. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens in the final.
Latvia is now the second biggest shock qualifier in history with 15% only 2% more than lithuania 2011 that has a 13% chance to get rhgouhg accodring to the odds . Well done latvia!!

WHEN I TELL YOU I SCREAMED WITH HAPPINESS WHEN THEY ANNOUNCED ARMENIA
I think Latvia had better vocals than many other contestants...there is a big discrepancy in terms of vocals when it come to videos vs. live performances...just a handful of singers has shown consistency in their vocals
France, Latvia, Armenia, Italy, Malta, and Israel were the only ones that could sing - roughly in that order of competence. Everyone else consistently missed notes or sang too quietly/timidly. Very disappointing. Many songs whose studio versions I liked were borderline unlistenable live.
So happy that Latvia and Georgia broke their NQ streaks. But Latvia's Q was one of the most shocking Q ever. 😄😄😄. Ok, I had a feeling that Austria or Belgium could flop, but I thought that in this case Czechia or San Marino could Q. Latvia was last from I expected to Q.😄😄
As a dutch who is going to the live grand final... Im heartbroken. Imo Belgium was way better than Latvia... And Belgium had both the Netherlands and France supporting them most likely
This Eurovision has a diversity of fan favorites as I could see by the comments on RUclips videos, and that's what I love about Eurovision. I'm so heartbroken over Denmark and Belgium, but I'm so happy for Latvia.
My Belgium’s Mustii didn’t make it 😢 he’s been nervous and struggling for weeks, ever since the tough pre show parties. Ironically I voted for Latvia and Armenia, I genuinely liked them, and they both went through.
I was concerned for Belgium after tonight too, it just didn't land right although the song is great. Thought Czechia had a chance, I was so shocked when Latvia qualified too. So happy Armenia and Greece through, hopefully Marina can recover to deliver even better performance on Saturday. Thank you so much for your coverage Rachel, best Eurovision channel by far.
As a Belgian I'm heartbroken for Mustii. I'm also so sorry for you, losing your top song before the final ! I can't possibly grasp how Latvia got the 10th most votes in that semi-final, utterly mindboggling ! 8/10, I lost San Marino and obviously Belgium. I still don't know how the Walloon delegation managed to make all the wrong choices for the staging.... That puts such a mood debuff on my satrurday :(
i agree with you. RTBF made the worst choice ever and is full responsible for his flop. We all knew that Musti was to weak for this kind of concert. Better a national final such as in Flanders
I'm still crying for Belgium as a Greek 😭😭😭 Mustii was my favourite! 😭😭😭 💔At least I follow him as an artist now, so I won't loose touch with his great artistry! Belgians are giving us great art! Stromae, Angèle, Loïc Nottet, now Mustii 🖤
Echt balen, super bummed as well. Mustii did struggle before but I thought his vocal was alright tonight. Staging was weak indeed,..hope that the VRT sends a good candidate next year!
@@mariaterzopoulou123 I do too: Ibought tickets for one of his concerts and I am already looking forward to it, I listen to all of his songs, already watched some movies he played in: he is amazing!❤❤❤
Is this the first year where the actual BEST SONG didn't make it? Unbelievable. I know the staging and vocals were not on point but still... Devastating for Mustii, I feel for him, he's talented. When they first announced Latvia and Austria, I knew it was over...
I’m shocked that Latvia went through as I wasn’t expecting them to qualify, gutted for Belgium but I feared they would be a shock NQ after hearing those vocals, happy that Norway qualified and I’m ecstatic for Georgia I just wish Denmark would have qualified tonight
I am so thrilled for Dons and Latvia. Welcome back to the final. Congratulations to Nutsa and Georgia for snapping their NQ streak too. As for Belgium, they blew it big time... Sorry, Rachel.
My joy for Latvia's qualification is intense, but not as intense as my sadness for Belgium's NQ. I'm shocked because I voted for Dons thinking Mustii was a clear favorite and didn't need my votes. 😥
I knew Latvia will Q!!! On the night of the 1st semi, after all qualifiers were anounced one of the comentators instead of 'all 3 Balkan countries' said ' all 3 Baltic countries' go to the final. I knew its a sign and posibility that all 3 Baltic countries will go to the finals, the same as all 3 Balcan countries did!!!! Yeahhhh!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Belgium really shows that a song dependent on good vocals cant have a performer with a vocal tone that destroys the magic that is needed for a song like this to work
Still stunned that Denmark did not qualify! I thought her performance was phenomenal. I did think Belgium would qualify too but after watching his performance I had a feeling he wouldn't. Something just felt off during the first half of his performance.
Beside the final on Saturday I am now very very interested to learn who were the two eleventh places and how large the gap to the tenth place had been…also I may have to re-assess my enthusiasm for removing the juries from the SF…😳😳😳
latvia qualifying threw me off so much i could barely process the rest of the qualifiers bc i didn't know whose fave of mine's spot had been taken by him 😭😭 (no offense to dons he was great but soo unexpected omg)
Belgium was my winner too, even with the lackluster performance I really though Mustii deserved to qualify. That one hurt, but at least Dons seems like a really sweet and sincere guy and Latvia definitely deserves a break from the NQs. Such a crazy year!
I am very disappointed that Mustii from Belgium did not qualify with the song "Before the Party's Over", because he participated in all the ESC pre-parties and his song was one of the most catchy. Some other songs, however, were chosen by subverting any predictions of the betting agencies. Congratulations to all !
It's interesting that foreigners make it seem like it's important for "Baltics" to be together. These three are just geopolitically grouped together but are pretty different from each other. For starters Lithuania and Latvia are Baltic speaking countries, while Estonia is Finnic like Finland. I'm more happy that Finland and Estonia are both in the final!
You are wrong. Latvian language has incorporated a huge amount of Livi language in it, the language from Finno-Ugric language group. And Latvia's history for nearly thousand years has been very similar to Estonia's. Lithuania is completely different cattle of fish, but, obviously, a very dear and loved one :)
Thx lovely Rachel. I understand why Israel is edited out, too political here. Just to say, let's see if Israel still is a member of ESC next year. Sorry to bring this up and spoil the party, which it should be, but no-one can avoid reality in the long run. Peace.
I have a feeling that you influencers sometimes get blind. You all form a unified opinion against some songs - like in Latvia's case. Then you can't understand that a great melody with impressive vocals and stage presence gets through. I was rooting for Dons from the start and I screamed when he qualified.♥♥♥
Sad for Belgium. That song deserved better :( But happy for our boy Joost (even though his voice was a bit weak) and I was very impressed by Nemo. I think it's between Switzerland and Croatia this year. PS I live for your subtle shade to the EBU by just not mentioning that one country that shan't be named
2015 is the last time we had all three Baltics. Almost ten years! Latvia is one of my favourites (I have it 4th) and I had resigned myself to losing it but I was so happy! Imagine if they'd left Latvia to be announced last, lmao
Latvia was an amazing performance, I am very happy that they passed! Clear vocals, straight forward without nonsense. First year that I agreed so much with the countries that passed to the finals. I was sad for Belgium, but it could have been a better performance indeed.
Deary me that was quite a night. Sad for both my countries, would have been nice to have just one. But oh well, the final lineup is bloody strong, so still gonna have a fantastic night. - I nearly threw a fit when Latvia made it - who saw THAT coming?! As soon as that happened I knew it was over for the ol' Ġebla. Still, Latvia and Georgia both making it and breaking the longest running NQ streaks is really quite awesome, and I am happy for them both. - Your dad is hilarious! "I SAID HE WOULD!" - Mustii disappointed me, but I also blame whoever decided his staging was a good idea. Roll on Flanders and their NF next year.
I had this exact same moment at the tenth qualifier slot, but I'll say I abandoned Belgium very quickly. Armenia was soooo fun and I loved the visuals and staging so much, it really just had to be them!
Very happy my top 3 Greece, Israel and Georgia qualified! Happy for Latvia and well deserved! Sad we lost Czechia cause the performance and staging were awesome. We should had got Czechia through instead of Austria with the weak vocals, mainly posing around and Estonia with their jumping around (though they were rather fun though).
Belgium not qualifying was a shocker. But like you said, he didnt nailed it. I LOVE the Studio Version, one of my favorites this year, but it was so harsh live. Latvia was superb, he deserves it, but i could have spent my house on predicting, that he will not qualify. Beside that, im happy with the Result. Greetings from Germany. I love your Videos
I did slightly better with this semi - eight out of ten, for a total of 15 out of 20. I had Malta and Belgium through over Austria and Estonia. My wife and I said to each other during Belgium's performance that it wasn't all that great, and she really likes that song too. I really wanted San Marino to qualify, but who would they have knocked out? Also, I think that Maria from Nebulossa has been improving her singing since the Spanish selection show - she was much better last night. Nice to see they've kept the butt cheeks for the grand final 🙂
I literally squeeled after they said Latvia because I love this song, but I didn't expect people did too. Sooo sad about Belgium, but I agree, the live just wasn't it. Glad to see so many redemption arcs for usually non-qualifying countries. Btw, love the Jane Austen look 😍.
"Still in delulu land after two days, apart from Latvia. But you still put them last" 😂 I mean, I think we all did, kinda! I was just surprised as you (and millions, I bet) to hear Latvia's name right away.
Slimane was outstanding! 🤩 I liked Switzerland and Norway's performances, so happy for their qualification; biggest surprises for me were Belgium out, Georgia and Estonia in.
Semi 1 was too good. I was so happy, because all my favorites from that half made it... So ofc the semifinal that houses 8 of my top 10 entries had to be cruel to balance it out. Mustii and Sarah will still remain in my heart...
Thx. If a certain country wins tonight, it ultimately could mean the end of The European Song Contest as we know it. The situation has arisen from a series of bad decisions by ESC, in handling a difficult dilemma, but really nothing new in that. Peace.

Eurovision: [laughs in Latvian]
hahahahaha
No one was expecting that!! And so soon 😂
2015 was the last time all 3 Baltic states were in the final together!
BIG UP FOR DADDY DONS 😭❤
Sad that Czechia didn't go through tho, great performance
I feel like all of the qualifiers (besides the obvious) really did deserve it this year. Even though I lost some that I liked (San Marino being the main one) there was no one that I felt like was obviously robbed this year
I’ve never been the biggest fan of Belgium’s song but I did pour one out for them in your honor after tonight
I’m over the moon Israel qualified. She simply deserved it.
I cannot believe my country latvia qualified😱🥹
As an italian I can tell you, that in my country we appreciate vocals more than anything else, and I'm pretty sure french people do the same. For once real music won over autotune (sorry Belgium).
@giorgio1826 Thank you so much! Italy and France has such an amazing songs this year. Even Germany! That voice wow! Not some dirty panty performances like Finland...
All 3 Baltics baby!!!
Dont worry im also shocked 💀
Nobody can believe it was 😂
My mum hate eurovision, but when Latvia came on she said 'I like this. This is good' and then they qualified IO;ANFSL;ALKAFALALAOL
I feel like it's a song that people's mothers like! My friend's mum loves it, my dad likes it, etc. I also love it personally. I think it's one that older people like more and maybe that's what pushed it through
I'm sooo happy for Dons! He has been such a lovely charming presence on social media and seemingly behind the scenes at Eurovision. And of course his voice is great and you could see his emotions on his face when he performed. Really pleased for Latvia!
So happy for Dons and Latvia, so well deserved!!!!
It is not i am sorry
@@konsolcugenc4303 He had the best voice of anyone tonight besides possibly Nemo, deserves a place in the final
Yup and all the sweeter for being unexpected.
He had maybe pretty voice but the song is for exemple much more boring than Belgium or Czechia
Dons himself wasn't able to show happiness however, what was that????
This semi-final had so many bops and so much crazy stuff happening on the stage. Latvia didn't bring any gimmicks or over the top staging they kept it authentic, simple, and powerful. I couldn't be happier for Dons and Latvia.
All three Baltic states in the final, yes - 1st time since 2015! So happy this happened again!!!
We all had the same reaction when we heard Latvia 😂 But congrats to him and welcome back to the final Latvia !
I was honestly quite shocked Belgium didn’t qualify, but im so happy Estonia did cause they’re one of my favourites 😭
Me not so much. I found the performance rather dissapointing, especially when compared to the others who did make it to the final.
I do agree with Estonia, very happy to see then through
@@cedriccappelle2036 thats fair enough! I see where you’re coming from, though i enjoyed how they engaged with the audience rather than just on themselves. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens in the final.
I was not because his vocals were weak and depended mainly on the backing vocals again. He only got better at the end and thats it.
@@fm95master i honestly agree 😭 i overlooked it at first because the song itself is quite charming, but when he sang it felt really quite strained
Same here!
The idea that you're dad was behind the camera, mouthing you that he believed Latvia would qualify made me laugh. 😂
Latvia is now the second biggest shock qualifier in history with 15% only 2% more than lithuania 2011 that has a 13% chance to get rhgouhg accodring to the odds . Well done latvia!!
WHEN I TELL YOU I SCREAMED WITH HAPPINESS WHEN THEY ANNOUNCED ARMENIA
SAAAAAMMMEEEEE. I want them to go really all out in the final.
I was on the verge of a heart attack although we are almost always announced last.
👍🤩❤️
Sameee! The song is so fun and they are so talented!
boring song hope they come last, we croatiams deserve the win❤@@DannyPotato

@@maxkho00 slovenia was great

SF2 was so much better than SF1 and I'm more than happy for Dons, for whom I voted also.
im so so heartbroken over belgium, just like you he was my favourite and ive been crying:(
As a dutch who is going to the live grand final... Im heartbroken. Imo Belgium was way better than Latvia...
And Belgium had both the Netherlands and France supporting them most likely
@@flopjul4581 France never votes for Belgium, but the Netherlands and Germany do
Interesting you left one country from your list and also cut it from the edit.
She's been pretty consistent about this since the start of the season.
This Eurovision has a diversity of fan favorites as I could see by the comments on RUclips videos, and that's what I love about Eurovision.
I'm so heartbroken over Denmark and Belgium, but I'm so happy for Latvia.
"Lets start off nice and safe don't throw us under the bus"
Latvia "beep beep i'm a bus"🙈😂😂
Cannot believe Czechia didn't go through!!! It was my winner... And the performance was amazing.
Am i the only one who tninks Austria is crap?
No
No it was 100x better than Belgium 🇧🇪
Here I am
I do too!!! 🤣
No you're not. It's my last place... of all last places.
Aww, I'm so sorry about Belgium. Czechia was only my eighth place and I'm gutted. I can't imagine losing your first place 💛
Guessing 8/9 is a very good prediction!!! Honestly nobody expected Latvia, but they definitely deserve it!
Baltics together , Balkans together and Georgia and Armenia together
Finnics - Finland and Estonia together!
My Belgium’s Mustii didn’t make it 😢 he’s been nervous and struggling for weeks, ever since the tough pre show parties. Ironically I voted for Latvia and Armenia, I genuinely liked them, and they both went through.
First! I gasped when they announced latvia literally...they were the lowest in the odds omg
Dont always trust the odds
Armenia 🇦🇲 deserves to be qualified 👍
I was concerned for Belgium after tonight too, it just didn't land right although the song is great. Thought Czechia had a chance, I was so shocked when Latvia qualified too. So happy Armenia and Greece through, hopefully Marina can recover to deliver even better performance on Saturday.

😭😭 My country, My favorite, Belgium 😭😭
Last year, my favorite (Latvia) didn't qualify to the final. This year it is my second favorite (Belgium) that failed to qualify.
Next year you should start worrying about who ends up in your third place 😅😭
It should’ve been 🇲🇹 🇨🇿 🇧🇪
Not 🇱🇻 🏴☠️ and 🇪🇪
So sad about Mustii, but he was too fast in the beginning, slightly off pitch, drowned out by the backing track… will always love the studio version!
Is this the first year where the actual BEST SONG didn't make it? Unbelievable. I know the staging and vocals were not on point but still... Devastating for Mustii, I feel for him, he's talented. When they first announced Latvia and Austria, I knew it was over...
I’m shocked that Latvia went through as I wasn’t expecting them to qualify, gutted for Belgium but I feared they would be a shock NQ after hearing those vocals, happy that Norway qualified and I’m ecstatic for Georgia I just wish Denmark would have qualified tonight
My favourite hasnt qualified 2 years in a row now :(((
First Sudden Lights and now Mustii 😭
You need to pick stronger favorites. It was obvious both songs would NQ.
I am so thrilled for Dons and Latvia. Welcome back to the final. Congratulations to Nutsa and Georgia for snapping their NQ streak too. As for Belgium, they blew it big time... Sorry, Rachel.
My joy for Latvia's qualification is intense, but not as intense as my sadness for Belgium's NQ. I'm shocked because I voted for Dons thinking Mustii was a clear favorite and didn't need my votes. 😥
Armenia made the best use of the stage of all the acts.
Agreed. I was thinking the same during the entire performance and had to watch it again after to enjoy 😂
💯🤩👍
I'm so happy for Switzerland! From now on everything is possible! Good luck, Nemo!🍀
I got 9/10! I went for Belgium and it was Latvia! So pleased for Latvia and Georgia thou after all these years! So sad for Malta! Can’t believe that!
2015 was the last time all three Baltics were in the final!!! I'm so happy!!!
The mic situation might be true but apparently Marina is dealing with fever and pharyngitis :/
Dons is a great vocalist, and had a quality song. I am happy to see him in the finals. Would trade Israel for Belgium tho
I knew Latvia will Q!!! On the night of the 1st semi, after all qualifiers were anounced one of the comentators instead of 'all 3 Balkan countries' said ' all 3 Baltic countries' go to the final. I knew its a sign and posibility that all 3 Baltic countries will go to the finals, the same as all 3 Balcan countries did!!!! Yeahhhh!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Belgium really shows that a song dependent on good vocals cant have a performer with a vocal tone that destroys the magic that is needed for a song like this to work
I think it’s going to be a shock winner on Saturday!
No, it will be Croatia, I can't see anyone else winning
So happy for Latvia!
Still stunned that Denmark did not qualify! I thought her performance was phenomenal. I did think Belgium would qualify too but after watching his performance I had a feeling he wouldn't. Something just felt off during the first half of his performance.
Honestly - I am so happy for Latvia and Georgia for qualifying after long droughts.
Beside the final on Saturday I am now very very interested to learn who were the two eleventh places and how large the gap to the tenth place had been…also I may have to re-assess my enthusiasm for removing the juries from the SF…😳😳😳
In my opinion Greece and Austria should not be classified....they did not do well at all
latvia qualifying threw me off so much i could barely process the rest of the qualifiers bc i didn't know whose fave of mine's spot had been taken by him 😭😭 (no offense to dons he was great but soo unexpected omg)
I'm in stitches every time you throw shade at your dad. 'Dooloolooland'. It's hilarious!😂
I can not believe dat Belgian is out 😟😢
Belgium was my winner too, even with the lackluster performance I really though Mustii deserved to qualify. That one hurt, but at least Dons seems like a really sweet and sincere guy and Latvia definitely deserves a break from the NQs. Such a crazy year!
Mustii was so nervous 😢
love that dress
I put a bet on yesterday at 6/1 that Latvia would qualify. After hearing the live I didn't think it would. It's a very underrated song.
My reaction was EXACTLY the same. After every country I went “ok they qualified” and then started talking about Latvia again
I am very disappointed that Mustii from Belgium did not qualify with the song "Before the Party's Over", because he participated in all the ESC pre-parties and his song was one of the most catchy. Some other songs, however, were chosen by subverting any predictions of the betting agencies. Congratulations to all !
Even though I have never seen or heard your him, I can just tell you have an awesome father...
I’m quite sad for San Marino. But I thought that there song was a bit weak…
It's interesting that foreigners make it seem like it's important for "Baltics" to be together. These three are just geopolitically grouped together but are pretty different from each other. For starters Lithuania and Latvia are Baltic speaking countries, while Estonia is Finnic like Finland. I'm more happy that Finland and Estonia are both in the final!
You are wrong. Latvian language has incorporated a huge amount of Livi language in it, the language from Finno-Ugric language group. And Latvia's history for nearly thousand years has been very similar to Estonia's. Lithuania is completely different cattle of fish, but, obviously, a very dear and loved one :)
Thx lovely Rachel. I understand why Israel is edited out, too political here.
Just to say, let's see if Israel still is a member of ESC next year.
Sorry to bring this up and spoil the party, which it should be,
but no-one can avoid reality in the long run. Peace.
I have a feeling that you influencers sometimes get blind. You all form a unified opinion against some songs - like in Latvia's case. Then you can't understand that a great melody with impressive vocals and stage presence gets through. I was rooting for Dons from the start and I screamed when he qualified.♥♥♥
Sad for Belgium. That song deserved better :(
But happy for our boy Joost (even though his voice was a bit weak) and I was very impressed by Nemo. I think it's between Switzerland and Croatia this year.
PS I live for your subtle shade to the EBU by just not mentioning that one country that shan't be named
Whole of Flanders voted for Joost I think❤️
2015 is the last time we had all three Baltics. Almost ten years! Latvia is one of my favourites (I have it 4th) and I had resigned myself to losing it but I was so happy! Imagine if they'd left Latvia to be announced last, lmao
I think EBU cancelled Belgium
My Top 10 of Semi Final 2:

Austria
Armenia
Czechia
Georgia
Greece
Israel
Malta
Netherlands
Switzerland
all 3 baltics in the finals... last time that hapened was in 2015
Unfortunately, no Belgium; luckily the Netherlands
I’m still processing the fact that Latvia actually made it despite being predicted to finish like last😭
So happy for Armenia 🇦🇲🙏❤️
First time when my winner isn't in the final Belgium :(
Latvia ❤ love the song Latvia
If only people voted for quality music you'd get more predictions right :) Don't sweat it ! Sorry about your beloved Belgium.
Latvia was an amazing performance, I am very happy that they passed! Clear vocals, straight forward without nonsense. First year that I agreed so much with the countries that passed to the finals. I was sad for Belgium, but it could have been a better performance indeed.

No, Austria
I just came to watch because you look gorgeous 😂

Greetings from Germany.
I love your Videos
Musti is truly the Yanna Terzi of 2024. Being considered a possible winner and no-qualifying in the end. Painted hand and all 😅
I did slightly better with this semi - eight out of ten, for a total of 15 out of 20.
I had Malta and Belgium through over Austria and Estonia. My wife and I said to each other during Belgium's performance that it wasn't all that great, and she really likes that song too. I really wanted San Marino to qualify, but who would they have knocked out?
Also, I think that Maria from Nebulossa has been improving her singing since the Spanish selection show - she was much better last night. Nice to see they've kept the butt cheeks for the grand final 🙂
THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF ARMENIA 🇦🇲🤩😍😍😍😍
ireland vocals are so gooe my winner this year phenomenal masterpiece❤❤❤
I literally squeeled after they said Latvia because I love this song, but I didn't expect people did too. Sooo sad about Belgium, but I agree, the live just wasn't it. Glad to see so many redemption arcs for usually non-qualifying countries. Btw, love the Jane Austen look 😍.

So ofc the semifinal that houses 8 of my top 10 entries had to be cruel to balance it out.

Albania should have been in the finals. 😢 But I'm glad for Georgia and Netherlands ❤
Thx. If a certain country wins tonight, it ultimately could mean
