I'm so happy to see both Iceland and Lithuania qualifying, i actually thought only one of them at best could make it. I would prefer Albania, Latvia or Denmark instead of Switzerland, but i'm happy with the 9 other qualifers
same here)
I'm so happy for Greece, Armenia and Lithuania, they slayed
@@monikaliuliu not trying to be mean but no way
@@monikaliuliu ok sorry
@@monikaliuliu i am Lithuanian and i dont think lithuania will win....I like my country, but here is better songs this year.
@@monikaliuliu Diaspora saved Lithuania - and i love Lietuva i was studying there 🥰
@@monikaliuliu semi final 2 is today
I am so happy that my four favorites (Greece Portugal Lithuania and Netherlands) made it but I can’t accept the loss of Albania and even Austria and see Switzerland in the grand final :/
well if she did not do nationalistic and chauvinistic greeting at the end she would maybe be in grand final but ESC really said not today !!
@@user-mx2uv7jy4w Many previous Albanian artists have done that, so what are you trying to say?
Hope u will enjoy depresive final 😜
if she would have had the performance from FiK she would have qualified but this performance on ESC stage was to messy and sorry but her outfit did not look great. +Austria had bad live vocals so jury did not give many points
Switzerland should not have gotten in. No idea why that song got in over the likes of Denmark or Latvia. Though... Austria? Really? The studio version slaps but Pia Maria's live vocals can NOT handle that song.
Mika is not Italian but he speaks the language and has been a judge in X-Factor Italia for several years
Wasn't he also in French version of Voice?
He had also his own show on Rai for two years
He also had a show of his own in Italy and it was amazing!
@@mateomurn7505 he is American-Lebanese and speaks several languages (French,English and Italian-almost perfectly).
mika also has a home in Italy and has made many programs, is loved in Italy
I love the chairs for Greece's staging, they sort of remind me of those videos of abandoned houses, totally fits with the whole haunting vibe of the song.
Italy really put on a good show!!
S10 had a panic attack right before she performed😭😭
Hi Noosh, I'm so glad my top 5 from semi final 1 qualified. Portugal, Norway, The Netherlands, Greece & Armenia. Commiserations to Albania & Austria. Good luck to all in semi final 2, I hope Poland, Cyprus & Australia make it through to the GF. 🙏
My favourite was absolutely Portugal, and Ukraine coming second. Also loved the Netherlands, Greece, Norway and Switzerland :)
I am still sad for Citi Zeni Latvia. They performed every time(ESC parties/shows) with so much energy, they were fun to watch.
The Swedish commentator said: "Pia Maria is an inspiration to everyone who wants to sing, but can't.." 🤣
Ouch.
Rude
Very rude.
Yeah her voice was not the best..
why tf is she makinh comments? a commentator should be umbiased and objective
Netherland and Portugal..very good..
Greece Armenia and the Netherlands were my favorites and Norway my guilty pleasure! Good luck to everyone! 😍
Also, the chairs in Greece's staging symbolize failed relationships & the song is about a relationship that is dying. Amanda is sitting on one of the chairs, symbolizing her trying to hold on to her relationship, even though she knows it might be over, and her standing up near the end symbolizes her being ready to move on.
that makes sense, such a beautiful meaning!
It also sounds like a death pack, with cult like attachments. I know that’s not the message but that was some of the reactions I got from people here in Canada.
Oh... A song about relationships.... How unique and groundbreaking....
@@rash123d7 maybe is better to write a song about a wolf and banana ...
@@geoffreythomas6847 That's what people who only read the lyrics on a surface level & don't actually try to understand them will say. I'm Greek & I've even seen people do it here, and it's frustrating.
Hello in UKRAINE . My favorite : Ukraine , Litvenia , Netherlends , Greece , Portugal . Very beautiful gerl Noosh .
Good evening Noosh101!... Good luck to all songs... I believe very much to Greece 🇬🇷! Armenia🇦🇲 and I wish them to reach at the top places... 🇬🇷💙🇦🇲!
🇦🇲♥️♥️♥️🇬🇷💋
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the show. Although there have been technical problems I believe that many people have got into the habit of criticizing and insulting based on nothing. I frankly do not understand all the hatred that Italy is receiving, this should be an event of joy and celebration but the hostile and fanatical attitude of many is ruining the party for everyone.
No wonder more and more people around the world have lost their ESC enthusiasm. The community is too toxic.
@@janeyre82 That's right, it's also why many countries are more concerned with winning than losing. Germany said it explicitly: we don't want to organize this thing, too expensive, too stressful. Ultimately what should count is the music, the songs and the pleasure of being together but apparently that's not the case.
I'm Italian and I read absurd comments, full of gratuitous nastiness and little objectivity: it wasn't a memorable or perfect show but neither was the crap that is portrayed by certain people on the Internet. After the first semi-final, many know-it-all woke up Kubrick or in the body of some famous graphic designer, set designer, architect, choreographer, photographer, host, praising the good old days when everything worked. If they want "Super Bowl 2.0" to go to the USA and stop. The most hallucinating comment of all insulted Laura Pausini for saying "Moldovia" (italian and english lenguage combined, a mistake that can happen): this user claimed that Pausini insulted an entire nation and an entire people with her incompetence. I'm shocked. In any case, Italy is used to receiving free insults and various offenses: we will continue to give a damn and walk forward as we have always done for centuries, and among all the problems we have here it will certainly not be a singing competition to make us worry. "Domani è un altro giorno, e si vedrà" (Tomorrow is another day, and we'll see).
@@castitaslilium2146Yeah, I think a lot of people don't know the difference between constructive criticism and free attacks and the line between a fun game and a personal war.
Thank you so much for having understood and said, thank you very much, love from Italy ❤️
I am so glad Switzerland, Lithuania and Portugal got through! Such great songs!
finally somebody who is feeling for Denmark! They we're doing great, they had an amazing performance, vocals we're better than before. I wished they went through... greeting from the Netherlands ♥ happy we're through though, always called out last and it still stresses me out every single time xD Also very happy for Iceland and Lithuania!!!
Die stress levels op het einde gaan altijd 📈📈
ngl i didn’t really like diodato‘s entry in 2020, it was just a bit boring but this time… omg when everyone in the crowd started singing the chorus it was just soo magical
also so glad iceland, the netherlands, greece and lithuania qualified❤️
Ukraines song reeeeeally has won me over, even though I'm really not a fan of rapping. The raw melancholic undertone is absolutely captivating.
Very good reaction as always
Omg Greece has winner vibes!!!!
I loved it!!! It gave me chills 💙 🇬🇷
I've been watching your clips for a few years. Thank you for giving an honest commentary each time without the influence of hype and distractions. Looking forward to Semi 2.
Marius (Switzerland) reaction to his selection was a bit agressive because everyone said that he will not go through and he received much hate on social media (even adressed directly to his account). He talked about it on the press conference after this semifinal. So I understand his reaction, he proved his haters wrong at this moment.
I love your reaction about Moldova! We love You Noosh, we Love Zdob și Zdub and Advahov Brothers, they were amazing!
Italy made a really great show
I got tears when s10 performance was there
I was crying the most of the time🤣🤣!! I love eurovision so much!!! Guys am happy that we share this journey of music and love!!!
Ronela being NQ is killing me so much, genuinely put me off this year ugh 💔
so sad about Albania and Austria 💔they did great, they should've qualified 😭
not really, they did just ok with a lot of messy moments - add to the fact that Albania was literally first (curse of first singer) and then Austria was right before Iceland, whose performance and choreography was perfectly executed and you get two forgettable entries
@@mjm3091 ok I have to agree with you that Albania was messy, but Austria?? it wasn't messy at all it was prefect with a lot of energy, but the only problem was Pia's vocals 💔and this is probably the reason they didn't qualify
@@Nawaf_alm I mean that's what I meant when I said messy moments, not just like staging or dancing or camera, but vocals as well - in Austria's case even more.
@@mjm3091 oh ok sorry I didn’t understand quite well
🇦🇹🇦🇱🔝
I loved the interval with the mash up of most famous Italian dance music. It was really well done, probably the best interval of the Eurovision of last years
People have "fait tout un fromage" with the stage issue as they're used to. A lot of songs that had been bashed for months before this semi-final have actually been 'saved' by the staging.
My wacky wolves Keith and Jim got through, so I'm good, regardless of the outcome in the Grand Final!!! So happy for all the qualifiers and gutted for all of the non-qualifiers (even Latvia, which I was never a fan of this year...it was fun to watch on stage).
For a newish Eurovision fan (last year was my 1st year really following it), is it possible to already have a personal favorite country?
Mine's Norway...really liked Fallen Angel last year, and love Subwoolfer this year!!
It completely passed my radar pre semi, but The Netherlands blew me away gave me all the feels, role on Sheldon tomorrow (yay I get to vote on the 2nd semi here in the UK, cue me voting tons for Sheldon).
barev Nooshik our beauty cuty lovely axjik❤️❤️❤️
Great reaction :) 🤩
I know Pia's vocals need work but c'mon i would love to hear this gem one more time at the final. 😭
My mother really liked Bulgaria, up until he started singing.
Thank you from Lithuania!
We all like The way you react ✨💅
S10 apparently had a panic attack before performing, but she was able to pull through & did great.
no, she didn't
She didn’t have a panic attack. She was indeed quite nervous before she got on but who wouldn’t be! But she gathered all her courage and went on and then at the end of the song it kind of overwhelmed her, also because the song is so loaded. ☺️
why the fuck u lyjng
@@isavandenheuvel450 That's what the article said, but it might have been badly translated to English, that is possible. She was really nervous, that can't be argued.
@@philipdawson7800 yeh I think it was translated faulty :)
can we talk about diodato's performance? he would have won in 2020 and literally won semi 1 of 2022's contest
ngl greece wasn’t a fav for me UNTIL i saw the chairs something about the staging the way the chairs are melting is just beautiful to me plus amanda’s live vocals are *chefs kiss*
Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷 💙
Portugal 🇵🇹❤️❤️ Go Go Go, MAROooo...
My absolutely Favorit.
Lovely and so Amazing Song. Super 👍 high Quality.
All my Kisses and Love for PORTUGAL 🇵🇹 and MARO.
Forcaaaa PORTUGAL 🇵🇹❤️🇵🇹
The swedish commentator said: "Pia Maria is an inspiration for young girls who want to be on stage and sing but can't, just do it anyway!!" A bit mean but giggles did come
In the 80es italo disco was huge. It top lists over Europe
And they didn't represent the 80s.
@@starry2006 talo disco is a music genre which originated in Italy in the late 1970s and was mainly produced in the early 1980s. Italo disco evolved from the then-current underground dance, pop, and electronic music, both domestic and foreign and developed into a diverse genre
Right? Moldova was the most outstanding and the most entertaining act of the night.
Some that didn't get through, I think it's about camera angles and staging, and importantly the taste of the voters - seems like we have 7 ballads out of 10 qualifiers.
I don’t think it has anything to do with them being ballads though. To me it it seems like the ballads just happened to be the most authentic and real performances/songs of the night.
Moldova was so funy,entertaining and amazing! I love IT!
My favorites:
1_Ukraine( good luck,neighbours ! You are very good !)
2_ Moldova (I am proud of You!)
3_Norway ( so good! )
I fully agree with you.
8:11 You crack me up 🤣
Loved this reaction/watch-along
Lets go, last place for us once again in the final. Still, much love from Germany!
the greek staging has to do with all of it being a dream, thats why amanda in the beginning and in the end she ahs her eyes closed.
As a Norwegian, by the time they read Iceland I was on the floor, already accepting defeat. Lithuania made me lose all hope. Portugal, okay expected. Then Norway came while I was already sobbing and thinking we were out - let me tell you.... The way I screamed!!!
Even though I personally don't care for it, I don't think there was ever a question of it not qualifying; the song production and their voices are really good.
For real? Norway is one of the most hyped acts of 2022, I'd be *shocked* if you don't end up in the top 10 at the grand final.
I get why you would be scared, but Norway would’ve sailed through with top 3 in the televote. Prepare for a 100+ televote score in the final! :)
no way Norway would be out.
S10 made it!
Noosh, if I may ask, what brings you to the US?
My favourites this year are estonia norway and slovenia. I'm happy that subwoolfer qualifyd. And for the netherlands bc I am dutch.
Sorry for Albania too. Rooting for Armenia 🇦🇲 and Moldova 🇲🇩 🎉
Yesss Moldovaaaa
Mika is British and of Lebanese descent but for some reason he hosts a big huge talent show in Italy.
Mika is actually American-Libanese. He travelled a lot with his family....France...UK...A few years ago they asked him to be judging X factor Italia and he learnt to speak Italian in a few months. I love him❤. I think the stress of the ESC is taking its toll on him.
Im sorry but the Grand Final will not be the same without Ronela😢❤️🇦🇱
Switzerland, Iceland and Portugal qualified but Austria and Albania didn't.
This Eurovision is a giant meme...
Agreed
Nothing against your taste but that two countries you mention as didn't... failed in so many ways... And to not be rude at any way coz that's not the point I like the songs actually but they actually could have done better... Good luck next time... Enjoy the show
Cry about it
@@tiagonogueira7691 I do everyday
on the last spot i was like Netherlands still not choosen, but gladly the relief got on the S10th spot :)
I will vote for Armenia, Rosa is amazing!
My opinion: show in Rotterdam was much better than Turin this year. But so happy my favourites got true!
Diadato was the best performance of the night. Wish he was in the grand finale
The stage is absolutely still broken, the sun rings aren't working properly, so the EBU and RAI decided to not have it move for anyone and have it stationary in the background, blocking most of the LED. The Moldova live version is the one they had been performing at the pre-parties, it's more rocky than the official version
They are not broken, they work but each arc turns around too slowly for them to be used by each country. it was too ambitious of a project, the EBU should've notice it and made a change to it earlier
Kinetic sun was never broken in first place, it just moves very slow (like 10 mins to do the full turn if I'm correct?) because that was the original concept, to announce every country in a Sanremo style (calling entries with artist's names instead of the country only) combined with the postcards, basically EBU just needed to address way earlier about the short times instead, then to be fair to every country they've decided to keep the sun still for every performance. It will move tho during interval acts and such.
@@vanellopeb no its not 10 min. that was a fake news thrown around when the production kept being silent. Turning from lights to led actually takes 40 ish seconds and the postcards arent long enough to cover it. That's why Rai and the italian delegation proposed longer wait between each song, by adding a Sanremo-style intro to each country. but ebu said no just when the rehearsals started giving almost no time to delegations to rearrange the staging
@@iacomary yeah didn't remember the actual time for the sun to turn, but for sure they couldn't make it in time for everyone, that's all
@@vanellopeb why not move it before to the other side? To the LED screens?
I don’t think S10 is wearing crocs 😭🤍
I know haha they where defo Dutch cloggs, I’m an IDIOT for not spotting that
@@noosh101 huuuh , girlie she was wearing Nikes ..
Ironic how The Roop went live exactly as their country was up
Du bist mein Idol Youngstars.Quest immer in meinem herzen, schon, liebe, wahlen, kulturell ❤ Sie sind einesi der besten Konzerte..sh
I think so many of us feel the same about Switzerland, Even though I was shocked and sad for Albania, the more I re-watch this, the more I wish Denmark had taken Switzerland's place.
Denmark is so underrated because of how it resembles the maneskin band gente
Ur from Norway?
Austria ☹️😔
Diodato ❤
Im satifsfied mostly beside Iceland really. Would switch them out for Albania in a heart beat👀
Diodato the best moment! ❤
Nice.🎉Ty
In my humble view, Chanel is in a category by herself. Her show is the most technically demanding among all contenders, by far. If juries are professional they will value her highly because there is not many artists IN THE WORLD who are able to sing flawlessly while dancing intensely as Chanel does. Will she win? Who knows (artistic quality is not the only factor that counts in Eurovision), but she is just ready to become a world star, no doubt, and very deservingly. Here she is in the USA (I think LA) with Kyle Hanagami in late April, just a couple of weeks ago czcams.com/video/656xMvSezK0/video.html
👍👍👍
Bulgaria was one of the best, let s be honest, it was strong and very good(from Romania)
Well countries that were going to have video side of sun were affected by darken stage. Estonia is the most affected by it.
I love the song, but sadly Ronela ruined it with the new staging and her outfit... should have kept it in a more traditional way as she did in the national selection, that was AMAZING! This did not fit to the song at all... Also her vocals weren't the strongest - as we know from the national selection and the pre-parties, she can do much better:///
Dobry den 💙💛
Dobryi den’💙💛
I saw a leak of the semi final scores and Albania scored 4th from the televote but 15th from the Jury. Acc so mad
Can you please tell where you find that?
LOL some of my favorites (🇸🇮🇩🇰🇱🇻🇦🇹) are gone, but I'm glad that 🇲🇩, 🇱🇹, 🇺🇦, 🇳🇱 and 🇮🇸 are qualified.
With so many people saying that Italy/RAI is not doing a good job producing the show because of its technical issues, I think of it this way: it’s a stratosphere better than the last time they hosted.
The only surprise to me was actually Iceland but that’s because I didn’t care for the song. But I’m hardly complaining about everyone else. Also, watching Italy and France’s full performances, I don’t see Italy winning it while France should open the Final (unless they decide on Norway or Spain).
SF2 will be a bloodbath.
One more thing: Johnny Weir should stick to figure skating. He was annoying AF on Peacock!
Thank you so much i appreciate that you are enjoying the show, love from Italy ❤️
@@gabrielemangialavori8732 SF2 was a vast improvement on the technical front.
Then again, anything is better than 1991. Luckily, RAI did not invite Toto to show up for anything this weekend: czcams.com/video/mc3QQSsNLEo/video.html
@@BeeRodz Obviously, we must not underestimate Rai does a great job, they are prefessional, you cannot compare It to that of 1991..they were other times (31 years ago), i think they were fine for those times on a technical level...except Toto 😅
❤️🇳🇱
TBH, it was terrible experience, like 5 decent songs (Ukraine, Moldova, Netherlands, Greece, Lithuania) out of 17. Just hope that SF2 and finals won't be THAT disappointing. But maybe it was a great idea to give artist 2 years to prepare
the last ESC was 2021 not 2020
Personally the only result I would change would be Denmark for Switzerland. Albania performance was meh, unfortunately, and the staging terrible
Mika is from London came from a Lebanese family
Mum Lebanese, Dad American (born in jerusalem) . Mika travelled a lot and lived in different countries.
Besides English and French a few years ago he was offered a position as judge at xfactor Italia and he learnt Italian in a few months.
He really is a world citizen🌏
0:48 well doesn't scott mills usually cover the semi finals? He did this time again at least
Not in the US haha
@@noosh101 Yeah but in the UK :)
sorry I didn't understand why everyone should be bothered by the staging from Italy and why do you find it so strange?
because it makes it nearly impossible for many acts that the acts have the stage performce they wanted to have. You will see it today with e.g. Estonia. Staging is (sadly) one important part if people vote for something.
@@Scheherasad this is the problem of eurovision too much importance to the theatrical performance and effects than to the pieces. Many countries should think more about how to improve the quality of songs and music production. too many bad songs.
Get on with it Lady..
Love the Switzerland song's message, but it really felt like trying to capitalize on the Eurovision Jury's hard-on for young men singing solo, which netted them the most Jury points last year, and for that fact alone, I kinda dislike it.
Really sad for Austria, thought they had a killer song.
It's not about gender 😑 it's about the message, song composition and emotion. A woman managed to win the jury in 2019 so that definitely isn't true.
@@user-yv9gt7ym9s I mean they have more than 1 type. But the Swiss seem to have found a trend and are rocking it, it's a good strategy to win. Just kinda puts a damper on it if you notice.
@@supervillain369 There's nothing wrong with using a tactic to win. Every country has their way to win it just depends if people like it or not
@@user-yv9gt7ym9s Never said there was anything wrong about, just that it takes away from the performance for me personally.
I'd appreciate if you didn't try and spin this like I'm saying it's objectively bad, I'm just saying I don't like that.
Austria had also bad live vocals
I would say Austria gooped, by not making Pia Maria just feckin sit and focus on singing and have the MV dancers take the focus off her and Lumix. Like girl, know your own limits, song was great, staging was ok, but you aren't yet at level when you can sing and jump through whole song. Also wish Lumix actually sung as well. Dude can sing well and it would probably help her more than the hyping of the crowd.
Same with Albania, they overdid the staging and camera work was whole mess, they should have just gone with the staging from Nationals. I was also shocked the Netherlands and Switzerland went through, cause those stagings were also kinda mess, but I guess people liked how genuine they were and maybe Jury performances were more solid.
All the other entries I think perfectly executed their staging and didn't feck up their singing, which is pretty much enough to satisfy both Jury and Televotes.
I still don't get why Greece went for chair metaphor? And I feel like even if her singing was impressive, I feel like the MV with instrumental through whole song was much better. This probably will cost her good placement in the finale. I am also shocked about Moldova getting in, but the revamp and actually perfectly performed song and choreography definitely made them stand out. And I guess you can't make Europeans not like cheesy slavic folk.
Overall I'm ok with that result, but to be fair - I only needed the salad song to fail. I did originally put Albania and Austria over Moldova and Switzerland. But you know there is only much that can be done.
Denmark didn't get through because, how should I put it, they're a bit "behind the curve" on a Nordic scale in pop music so that song doesn't get neighbour votes from Iceland or Norway because it's the kind of song/genre/melodic mix that the rest of the Nordics find a bit cringe right now. (Norway has a term for it; "Harry") They would probably make it if they were together with Sweden instead.
you can always watch the live stream on youtube without any commentators
Norway deserves to win .. love the song
