i tried my best editing this as fast as i can so if theres any typos bare with me, also the semi 2 video will probably come late on friday since im going to a comic con that day and wont have time to edit in the morning, so so sorry 🤍
that camera pan to Baby Lasagna after the baby lasagna joke was SO awkward. The camera crew has to realize that they've already heard every joke because of the dress rehearsals lmao
Imo it made it even more iconic, him rolling his eyes made me laugh even harder than I was laughing at that joke (probably because I had already heard it a few times as well in the community) 😂
And the fucking laziest single note boring riff that doesn't even qualify as a song. BL couldn't even be bovvered to put an obligatory key change half way through. Thank goodness I was brought up in the 60s. ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz
There was no surpirise in Poland's staging being a mess, it was staged by the same person who staged embers lol, polystyrene trumpets first, now thw polystyrene towers
The choreography was pretty cool but I was sad bc Luna looked a mess and that was so out of character she has such a gorgeous aesthetic and that outfit was horrendous 😭
What I found rather funny is that they took the word "tower" and made the whole staging about chess, but everyone who actually plays chess calls it a "rook", never a tower.
@@Not_Quite_My_Tempo it makes more sense in polish because the ''rook'' piece is called ''wieża" in polish which also means ''tower'', so it's not as dumb as it seems. But overall I think the staging wasn't the best and they also used pretty wide shots for the performance which kinda added to the whole mess. I wish they did something more similar to what Luna has shown in the music video
i'm terrified of tomorrow. did the math, there is no way all of the contestants i am invested in make it ;_; 10 songs i really like in one year of esc is rare. 10 in one semi? what the hell
@@Linis_254TheReal1Im sure she will qualify. She has vocals, charisma and great staging. If there's anything we learned with Slovenia and Portugal in semi one is that those traits get you to the final.
As much as I loved Doomsday Blue, never would I ever thought that Ireland would make such a monumental BOP live, and now Bambie is going from the top 20 of the Finale to the top 5 ! I'm so proud of them, they're going to restore Ireland's image now !
Yes i actually already liked the song, it's the only one I've been listening from eurovision so far with Belgium and Croatia but the live performance elevated it, i was worried but they pulled it off next level
I remember in my younger years, some people saying Eurovision is essentially satanic indoctrination and I would laugh at them. I am not laughing anymore.
@@MarkoVuckovic32 Maybe because it's not a satanic song and it's just the choice of staging? You've got to stop pointing the finger at everything that isn't vanilla and calling it "satanic". I'm a Christian myself, yet I loved Bambie's performance. Do you also slag off those who like horror movies ? I sincerely believe that the Church has better things to do than deal with a simple song, Mr. Pharisee.
Can we PLEASE talk about how hard Moldova improved from their National Final. The Vocals where so much cleaner, the mixing sounded kinda epic, Natalia Barbu looked gorgeos and the stage looked so cool.
I had respect for Natalia, but she has recently made a post shaming Windows95man, bambie and raiven bc she doesn’t like them, absolute scumbag and I now wish she will never return.
Having Baby Lasagna do the dance part with their back to the audience and seeing the whole arena joining was such a wonderful thing. I just screamed and jumped!
They need to drop “crown the witch” If they are non binary, then they shouldn’t use witch: A woman who is believed to have magical powers and who uses them to harm or help other people.
Bambie's performance was simply ICONIC, one of the best performances this year, I'm supprised how much it has grown on me, the staging really does make a difference, CROWN THE WITCH!!!
agreed!! another one i feel like is the prime example of this (where i was fully sold by the live performance, which is better than the studio version) is latvia 2015
Small flex, I predicted them all right a month ago 😎 Really underestimated Ireland though, didn’t expect the staging to slap that bad, I predicted them to be a borderline qualifier 😅 (even though I loved the song from the start)
Croatia and Ireland were EPIC. I'm so happy! 😄 I'm hoping for Croatia to win on Saturday and for Ireland to do very well. But I'm already so proud of both of them regardless. Their journeys to this week have been crazy. Baby Lasagna being the alternate at Dora (wtf croatia team how was it not grabbed immediately?) and Bambie Thug making the tiny late late show stage feel huge.
Should have made a national final, where she either wouldn't have won anyway, or if she got through, they could have given her vocal lessons and an easier choreography (or no choreography at all). And I was actually neutral in the Justyna vs. Luna debate, as I could have lived with both of them going to Malmö, and I rightfully predicted that they would be sending Luna because there's already 2 other witchy songs in the semi-final, but let's be honest, who can sing and dance? Maybe Justyna wouldn't have had these vocal issues, even if they forced her to dance. But on the other hand, maybe Luna just lost by a couple of points or even a tie break.
@@in_wino_veritas i was team justyna but no hate for luna tho, people need to chill out bc it's just a contest and not everyone will qualify and that's ok, this girl had some vocal issues but haters on instagram should totally touch some grass
@@michelleenderink3664 long story.... but it's polish national television (if that's how it's called in english 😭😭) and poland usually has very bad staging
Bambie slayed! I actually said "wow" after witnessing their performance. Croatia's was a masterpiece, but it just improved over the greatness we have been seeing since national finals. I'm so happy about W95man! If the jury was there, neither Ireland nor Finland would qualify. Luna is getting hate (again) because she didn't qualify. Did you forget Germany btw? That burning house-like structure reminded me of the meme with the dog in a burning room... "this is fine"...
Can confirm: Probably a little niche? Which is sad since a lot of Aussies are praising Electric Fields for the indigenous representation, it's not every day you get to bring a culture and language to Eurovision that they've never heard before. I was sad they didn't qualify but I reckon the live performance just didn't quite have it. EXCEPT for Didgeridoo man, he was *living* and it was amazing, seems like he had the best time out of all of them haha
Wonderful Raven and Veronica, ever since Turquoise carpet learning what is the song about, i absolutely love it even more! And those Grindr notifications, 💀 now they want you to pay the Boost
I’ve been on board the Switzerland train (heh) since the songs were revealed. Seriously thought it was impossible for anyone else to win, even when rehearsal footage came out I still thought it was in the bag. Then Crotia had this performance and I’m converted. That was so fucking hype, the way the crowd sung with it and danced and the way he captivated the stage. I mean come on, Croatia 2025!!!
That would be a well deserved win indeed! But I have no worries about Nemo either: this is just a stepping stone. Their talent will outlive many of the other contestants! Sometimes you win by 'loosing' ...
When I heard Bambi's song I really wasn't into it, but watching them perform was like AHHHHHHH. Yes, Monarch SLAY!!!!! Excited to see them in the final :D
Why is she using “Crown The Witch?” Especially as the word “Witch” means: A woman who is believed to have magical powers and who uses them to harm or help other people
@@corinnevanessa22 their performance is about them befriending the devil, tricking him and betraying him (shown by their costume change), and then killing him. they calls themself the witch as they are the person helping people using their powers by killing the devil. also they go by they/them pronouns so please call them that!
There are not much things i dislike more about the last few escs than the fact that so many acts have these random, horrible rap parts somewhere in it. It instantly makes me put each of the songs in the last few places
3 things I'd like to say about semi final 1 : Bambie is simply iconic, their vocals, their presence on the stage, it deserves to be AT LEAST top ten. I have to say Sweden was my guilty pleasure, i felt ashamed loving them that much, but they hyped me so so much ! It's too bad you didn't put Germany in the video, bc I was actually surprised to like it that much !
Silia's dance break felt so ???? but other than that i got the performance, but overall was pleased with the qualifiers. I was soooo sure the last one would be Poland though, I can't help but feel sad for her, she seems so sweet.

@@in_wino_veritas if you watch the televised performance, the camera was shrouded by a lot of mist and the angles looked messy and a lot more unprofessional imo, the song is ok the dedication is ❌

@@sofia-os7if the thing is, there are people who can see rudeness and intention in literally anything. if you knew how quickly these videos are edited and uploaded for the sake of the fandom’s joy, you would overlook a “grammatical blunder” you took for an offense. get a life seriously, don’t trash people’s efforts
@@FeeESCpink and blue curse. every pink and blue act failed to qualify/succeed. this was set by albina from croatia in 2021. pink and blue acts like croatia and albania (both 2022) failed to qualify. i don't remember from 2023 though
So, testerday I figured I have 2 type of friends. Ones who didnt get the notifications joke and 2 of them that were laughing out loud screaming "thats Grinder notification sound!". Then everything went quiet for the rest of the evening, lol
ZAGREB 2025!!!!! Come on, let's manifest it! We've never had such a good chance to win, and I'd really love the ESC to be literally 2 tram stops from my home 😅
I think Luna's performance was seriously good, but it was the audio that buried her (sound engineers, what was that supposed to be :CC) I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Lithuania, a total banger for me
OMG I didn't know Bambie is they/them. I feel so bad now for all the comments I've written saying "her" and "queen" T____T. Thanks for information!!! THEY SLAAAAAAAAAAAAY, the most amazing performance I've ever watched!!! ICONIC. Ireland, Ukraine and Croatia my favourite so far!!
Let’s go Ireland 🇮🇪. We had the craziest preference out all of semi final 1. To be honest I was kinda scared when they start screaming and I agree rte’s whole budget went into making this song CRAZY.
Ireland is SO UNIQUE. RTE's budget is basically non-existent after this, but... I CAN'T SPEAK IN THE PERFORMANCE. it was perfect, the PAGANISM vibe is literally going out and its cool (its not satanism for a trillionth time) Also, Ukraine is just so good. Jerry did so well, and alyona finally did not stumble just like in the rehearsals. First Semifinal is really good, i wonder what the second is. (Also, MEOW CAT PLEASE MEOW BACK)
Just relieved slovenia qualified, but sad for poland would've swapped it for finland, the performance wasn't great but it was fun and more memorable, and Luna is so sweet.
Yeah, I'm glad for Raiven and sad for Luna, but her vocals were almost as bad as Olly's, so I get why it didn't make it, but why do you guys think that Finland or even Luxembourg (which isn't even a joke entry, but of course hated and even attached with conspiracy theories about their participation and speculations about them getting a free pass, because otherwise they'd drop out next year, which is ludicrous, they definitely would have come back, at least for a couple of years, had they NQ'd) shouldn't have qualified? I really don't get the hatred. Both of them are deserved qualifiers. Their skngs are catchy, and I often find myself singing along to them and / or their songs popping up in my head.
@@in_wino_veritas despite Poland's vocals, her performance was just more memorable, I didn't feel very interested about Finland because it was almost exactly the same as the NF and was hoping there'd be something new and the vocals weren't special, but it's more of an entertaining performance than a competitive one
@ethanwoolley7570 Yeah, the staging was definitely memorable, but they shouldn't have forced her to dance around on stage. Just walking and then stepping up on the chess tower would have been enough and would have had a better impact on her vocals.
The new german commentator mentioned the champions League TWO times during the first semi final 😭😭 KNOW your audience, the girls and the gays dont understand those football jokes
How is that an audience problem, the fact that you're gay? Sexual opinion should be kept for yourself, tnx 4 that, and it does not define high/low level of intelligence or education. Learn, read...
Non gay people also have human rights, and are able to discuss opinions without being aggressive or exclusive, or misjudged in order to be misunderstood. Well Kat, tnx for excluding a non gay human being from a discussion, for being open to knowledge about the world around it. Ok very mature
Sorry to tell you, but girls (I can't speak for gays, but they might do this as well) also might understand CL jokes and football jokes. What planet are you living on. Plus, there's even World Cups and CLs for women. In the US and Canada, soccer is even merely regarded as a women's sport.
I guess times have changed, and true kitsch and shund has advantage over art on ESC. People show off their occult choreography thirtyninte to fourtyfive times in a song just to catch the attention of voters... Grotesque

Yea I had Iceland over Lux, other than that I got them all right. Soccer moms let me down
I wanted Australia to qualify as well, but not over Luxembourg. I don't get why you're hating it. And definitely not Iceland over it.
@@in_wino_veritas if you watch the televised performance, the camera was shrouded by a lot of mist and the angles looked messy and a lot more unprofessional imo, the song is ok the dedication is ❌
THE SONGS THIS YEAR!!! ALL SO GOOD, ESPECIALLY EXPERIENCED LIVE!!!! AHHH!!!!
Either I have overlooked the German contestant or you have forgotten ISAAK.
He‘s in the final anyways, so he just had a guest performance.
Yes but same for the uk and they were in this video
It was pretty boring\
Yea, dont know why..
4:24 omg in the finnish broadcast the narrator did say "those towers look like the ones in vox populi in umk did they steal them" or something like that 😭😭
FYI, it's just Ukraine, not "the" Ukraine.
thank you for letting me know!
Wow, very threatless behaviour... 🫠
it’s a clear typo, jeez, calm dude
@@aurelb5412it was obviously not a typo and it’s a common mistake people make all of the time + they weren’t even rude about it??
@@sofia-os7if the thing is, there are people who can see rudeness and intention in literally anything. if you knew how quickly these videos are edited and uploaded for the sake of the fandom’s joy, you would overlook a “grammatical blunder” you took for an offense. get a life seriously, don’t trash people’s efforts
Zagreb 2025 real.
I wish
✨️THE QUEEN HAS POSTED✨️
Uks outfits was literally a tank top w boxing shorts and a FREAKING BOX GLOVE CROTCH HOLDER.
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to recreate my scream when iolanda qualified
Saaaaaaame but with Teya Dora
Moldova falling victim to Albina’s Curse 😢
What do you mean
@@FeeESCpink and blue curse. every pink and blue act failed to qualify/succeed. this was set by albina from croatia in 2021. pink and blue acts like croatia and albania (both 2022) failed to qualify. i don't remember from 2023 though
@@kteriri ah thank you
@@kteririI guess the Busker from last year.
No, it was DOA
So, testerday I figured I have 2 type of friends. Ones who didnt get the notifications joke and 2 of them that were laughing out loud screaming "thats Grinder notification sound!". Then everything went quiet for the rest of the evening, lol
I feel so bad for Luna she deserved to qualify
i was waiting for your reaction on this omg
The most iconic thing about this semi was Eric Saade singing Popular with the kuffiyeh around the wrist, what an icon 🇵🇸
Get this Finland hate off my screen 😭
ZAGREB 2025!!!!!
Come on, let's manifest it! We've never had such a good chance to win, and I'd really love the ESC to be literally 2 tram stops from my home 😅
Portugal was awesomeeeee 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
Croatia has it locked, but Ireland and Ukraine are in the Top 5 for sure. I was sad for Poland; I really liked the song and staging.
I think Luna's performance was seriously good, but it was the audio that buried her (sound engineers, what was that supposed to be :CC)
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Lithuania, a total banger for me
Bambie knows how much this means to queer people and to Ireland, and that was in their soul the whole time
OMG I didn't know Bambie is they/them. I feel so bad now for all the comments I've written saying "her" and "queen" T____T. Thanks for information!!! THEY SLAAAAAAAAAAAAY, the most amazing performance I've ever watched!!! ICONIC. Ireland, Ukraine and Croatia my favourite so far!!
no but seeing australia in the live shows was so good, and i lowkey wanted them to go through a bit more than cyprus or luxembourg
KONSTRAKTA WITH TEYA OMG I DIDNT NOTICE
i love your kind to edit videos, looking frwd to the next ones!
kinda sad you didn’t include germany but their song is really good and he’s got an amazing voice/stage
I think its because they were seeded right? Meaning they didn't really "compete" for a spot in the final.
@@kuroganekaze so is uk and sweden yet both of them were shown in the video
@@dreamingstorm3914 oh good point.
Let’s go Ireland 🇮🇪. We had the craziest preference out all of semi final 1. To be honest I was kinda scared when they start screaming and I agree rte’s whole budget went into making this song CRAZY.
Benjamin Ingrosso was so good?? I was surprised
so many great performances
4:50 AHAHAHAHAYA YESSS THE WAY I MIGHT GO TO EUROVISION NEXT YEAR IF CROATIA WINSNSSNNSSN😭😭😭😭😭
Can Croatia afford to host it though? cost loads.
@@TanyaJackson-no2rsi never thought ant it
abt it* also im not someone who would ever pay attention to financial stuff😭
@@iiexiq If Croatia win then you might have to pay attention to financial stuff. It's going to cost millions.
I thought this was a singing contest but then I watched it and found I was wrong.
So Poland and Australia both had catchy songs, sad they did not qualify
Ur the only way im consuming esc content this year ty legemd
Ireland is SO UNIQUE. RTE's budget is basically non-existent after this, but... I CAN'T SPEAK IN THE PERFORMANCE.
it was perfect, the PAGANISM vibe is literally going out and its cool (its not satanism for a trillionth time)
Also, Ukraine is just so good. Jerry did so well, and alyona finally did not stumble just like in the rehearsals. First Semifinal is really good, i wonder what the second is.
(Also, MEOW CAT PLEASE MEOW BACK)
Just relieved slovenia qualified, but sad for poland would've swapped it for finland, the performance wasn't great but it was fun and more memorable, and Luna is so sweet.
I'd swap Poland for Luxembourg but not for Finland even though I'm Polish, haha.
Yeah, I'm glad for Raiven and sad for Luna, but her vocals were almost as bad as Olly's, so I get why it didn't make it, but why do you guys think that Finland or even Luxembourg (which isn't even a joke entry, but of course hated and even attached with conspiracy theories about their participation and speculations about them getting a free pass, because otherwise they'd drop out next year, which is ludicrous, they definitely would have come back, at least for a couple of years, had they NQ'd) shouldn't have qualified? I really don't get the hatred. Both of them are deserved qualifiers. Their skngs are catchy, and I often find myself singing along to them and / or their songs popping up in my head.
@@in_wino_veritas despite Poland's vocals, her performance was just more memorable, I didn't feel very interested about Finland because it was almost exactly the same as the NF and was hoping there'd be something new and the vocals weren't special, but it's more of an entertaining performance than a competitive one
@ethanwoolley7570 Yeah, the staging was definitely memorable, but they shouldn't have forced her to dance around on stage. Just walking and then stepping up on the chess tower would have been enough and would have had a better impact on her vocals.
Okay but the guy in the middle at the crowd thing at 3:20 was so adorably happy !!! :'))
The new german commentator mentioned the champions League TWO times during the first semi final 😭😭 KNOW your audience, the girls and the gays dont understand those football jokes
Naja waren ka keine jokes eigentlich
I think that was more of a notification service for people who were forced to watch the semi instead of the CL😂
How is that an audience problem, the fact that you're gay? Sexual opinion should be kept for yourself, tnx 4 that, and it does not define high/low level of intelligence or education. Learn, read...
Non gay people also have human rights, and are able to discuss opinions without being aggressive or exclusive, or misjudged in order to be misunderstood. Well Kat, tnx for excluding a non gay human being from a discussion, for being open to knowledge about the world around it. Ok very mature
Sorry to tell you, but girls (I can't speak for gays, but they might do this as well) also might understand CL jokes and football jokes. What planet are you living on. Plus, there's even World Cups and CLs for women. In the US and Canada, soccer is even merely regarded as a women's sport.
Welcome back - just waited for your video :D Thank you ;p and loved petra and her little jokes.. grindr was best :D bad puns but it was refreshing
7:26 I bet she will do the same joke with a mango and Angelina 😅
A shame about Australia, their song really grew on me this year. Excited to see how the second qualifier goes!
Ireland was flippin' AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I’m just glad Germany didn’t end up last. That’s honestly a win for us
i feel so bad for Luna, the polish media is literally pouring liquid poop on her now, she was amazing and deserved to qualify…
I guess times have changed, and true kitsch and shund has advantage over art on ESC. People show off their occult choreography thirtyninte to fourtyfive times in a song just to catch the attention of voters...
Grotesque
@@FleshAnd7hePowerItHold5 So you are slagging off Ireland, the Polish song was good but the singer's voice was as weak as a day-old 😺 😺
@@djbillybopdjbillybop2817 Hey watch those accusations, thug.
@@FleshAnd7hePowerItHold5 if your trying to shade Ireland than your wrong, Bambie had a great performance and they deserved to qualify
@@hankamostowiak4745 Not Ireland, never, but occultism in such mass on public service broadcast, before all.
"O- they keep popping up here!"
I love her so much
„What in the TVP” omg I can’t breathe 😂 greetings from 🇵🇱
