Apologies that my previous video had to be taken down, it had copyright that popped up 30 mins after I published the video which I couldn't get around. So I had to re-edit the video.
Sorry to anyone whose comments were lost, but I have no control over copyright, particularly when it is NOT flagged in the initial copyright check.
Sorry that copyright is being such a pain 😫
It is ok. What do you think about the chance/risk of Israel winning.
I think I have two situations that seems to indicate this. One is the leaked televotes of the Italian televotes. The other was that I read Aftonbladet, the biggest newspaper in Sweden, and there they had a voting for the one you liked the most. Israel won by the same margins as Italies number. I mean a massive margin.
I like Israels song and it is beautiful. But this margin is not realistic. So it has to be other things like mostly against the protesters I think.
All this problems with the televotes could be so easily solved if we had ranked voting. To choose your three best songs as 1 2 and 3. This makes every person a jury and not this strange way of voting.
That Melovin...always sneaking under the ladder.
I thought I was tripping when I saw the notification but then couldn’t find the video😂
Latvia Georgia and Ireland breaking their streaks was the highlight of the entire year! 🇱🇻🇬🇪🇮🇪
Huge shocker for Latvia to get through but Nemo was INCREDIBLE!
Dons. A fabulous voice without all the gimmicks
@@ar50000 A fabulously boring sleeping pill of a song, true 😂
@@florennaI wouldn't agree, song changes rytm, white many ballads do not
Also I'm so happy for a Baltic reunion in the final 🇱🇻🇪🇪🇱🇹
shows that the ballad voters saw dons's voice overshadowing mustii and pulled through, he has a great running order in the final too!
Latvia was like fucking hell ok just drop that on us. Malta lost me £5 i was convinced that was going through
I also predicted Malta over Latvia
Same, I should have made it all 20€ rather than just 5€ haha
@@matthewtan961 I would vastly have preferred that result! Malta was great, while Latvia is just a sleeping pill.
Biggest shock qualifier in a long time, that's for sure, but very happy Latvia and Georgia broke the NQ streak. I'm obviously completely bummed out because Belgium messed it up, I feel so sad for Mustii right now...
I hope you're all going to be safe out there, seems like shit is hitting the fan right now.
He messed it up regarding the stage and performance. But vocally it was very good. Sure it was not perfect, but compare that to a lot of the artist that got to the final. With this he would never win but he sure as h… deserve to reach the final.
There is no shit hitting the fan yet though. But it may happen since the teleovotes in the final may go heavily in one direction.
@@hurmur9528 Netherlands might be expelled from tomorrow's final depending how grave his incident was
@@ThaGamingMisfit Aha you mean that. Yes I wonder what happened. But that will have nothing to do with safety I think for Tom… or do you?
@@ThaGamingMisfit Or is it because of Israel? I thought it was something he did.
So now Denmark HAS To be next breaking there NQ Streak next year. Since we are the one with the longest NQ Streak now
Czechia was my favorite this round, so sad they didn't qualify. But hey, I'll sure be listening to their song a lot!
My favorite as well!! 😢
The edginess, rasp, and angst that the song required - and is delivered in spades in the music video - was completely absent in the show, unfortunately. Yes, she improved her live vocals A LOT. But the soul wasn't there.
@@Rafaelinux Yeah, it’s a shame! Still a great song!
@@Rafaelinux Exactly. It's a rock song with soul presented almost as a dance pop song. Does not work!
Yeah I liked them as well, probably one of the best. Much better than a bunch of songs who did pass (especially the Netherlands, I really do not understand the hype, the song is awful)
Latvia was shocking, I predicted it last, but in this SF, literally ever song could've qualified. I thought SF1 was harder to predict, but SF2 is another level. Anyways, I got 9/10 in my predictions again (just like SF1). I thought Belgium would've qualified (from 9th place) and this is my only mistake.
Yes, one male ballad swaped with another
It was entertaining, 😂 your only sure non qualifier went through 😅
To me Latvia was strongest of "traditional" songs and I was perplexed by it's bad reception.
I love it too and am glad it didn't get "lost".
Big hug Tom, I hope you’re doing all right. Please take care of yourself 🙏🏻
2:45 this was edited out when broadcasted on tv! You could only hear the cheering and not the booing, which chocked me. Now I know what really happened at the show…
Did you expect anything else, though?
I’m glad these videos from the crowd exist to document reality.
@@hippopotamusbosch Agree! I was disappointed since one couldn't hear any booing on TV, which would be deserved to IL... It's wrong to distort reality that way. Not that one can hear much booing here either, I would have expected much more.
@@im.joeyb. Well one would expect TV live broadcast to reflect reality, but no...
True, it's wrong to distort reality like that. People at home deserve to get the raw truth and the whole picture. Although anyone could have guessed that they're booing Israel just like they were booing Russia obe decade ago.
I love that Eurovision is used to make bold statements about the state of our world, and to educate us about different cultures and ways of being, but in the end it's a song contest and prefer if the best song wins on its own merits, fair and square.
Thanks for supporting Georgia ❤️
I’m really sad for Czechia as Aiko was my winner of this semi final, I’m sad about these qualifiers too but in my opinion they should’ve saved Latvia for last it would’ve been even more of a surprise over Belgium Czechia and San Marino 😂😂
They did good to call Latvia first. It sure got everyone's attention!
Latvia qualifying is the biggest plot twist ive ever seen in a ESC semi like WHAT. So so happy for Latvia and Dons tho. Now its your turn Denmark
Yes. Denmark HAS to be next breaking our NQ streak
This is turning out to be a really fun and entertaining year for Eurovision 😍 Many strong songs and interesting performances.
It was, but this Israel thing is now threatening to destroy it all :/
I think that's the first time in a while I've actively cared about the song that was called last. That said, if anyone can take that tense situation with a smile, it's Jako haha. Perhaps that's why they did it.
I was getting sooo nervous! I love Armenia this year! ❤
Bummed that my Belgium's Mustii didn't make it.. it's such a good song but it's been a struggle. Still proud of him, he did his best and his performance was good, in my opinion.
I was QUAKING when Latvia were called!!! What a curveball! Nobody expected it.....and i mean that i dont even think Dons expected it! What a result for Latvia! Theyve had such a bad time at Eurovision lately so this was a reward for all their recent woes!
Soooooo happy that Austria got through! But i was gutted for Malta. They seriously had one of the biggest glow ups from the national final performance to now!
The only other surprise was Belgium crashing out.
Not surprised that Israel made it through though. The song itsself isnt bad (it doesnt interest me though), but those who want to support them will do so in their droves, just to ensure they get through.
Love these in the moment reactions 🤩🙌
They had to call my favourite two in each semi during the last 3 😂 They love to make me stressed AF. So happy for Armenia, Switzerland, Georgia and Latvia. Sad for Czechia and San Marino.
I thought Belgium where robbed. They had a terrible stage show because it did not reflect the song at all and was kind of nothing. He should have been more soul searching and introspective in his scenography. But still it does not matter. It should have gone through easily.
@@hurmur9528 That's fair honestly. It was like they tried to recreate the music video....but without the raw intensity of it. 😵💫
@@DarkFlareGC I am much more audio and vocally oriented. This was not fair by any means. Estonia and Latvia is for me songs that can only do well in Eurovision and no where else.
Thanks from ARMENIA 🇦🇲😢😅
I cried when Estonia made it through. I honestly thought they were out.
I was pretty sure they are in :)
@@florenna Is that so? I am so emotionally invested that I've lost objectivity. I've loved it from the first listen and I still love it! ❤
I felt the same ❤
Well done to Latvia and Georgia for making it to the grand final sad my country didn't make it unfortunately I wasn't surprised tbh I hope we try something different next year if we do take part
Latvia and Georgia❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Finally. But i still can't believe how Latvia managed to go through, after all performances i thought that they're definitely out.But well done, both❤️
Love your reactions, Tom!
So happy for Switzerland and very sad for Belgium and Denmark
I avoided all spoilers and previews of staging and things of that nature because I wanted to be as objective as possible when we got to the semis. When I saw Belgium's staging, I did not think it had a chance. It felt all wrong. Wouldn't be shocked if it came 12th or 11th even, but I just did not see a path.
Are you doing the running order video for the final as well?
ill try to
Off topic: is the Netherlands getting disqualified? Joost Klein banned from jury performance! Was even on the Dutch national news.. 😢
Hey, what do you think of the problems around the Netherlands, maby a diskwalification..
It’s sad everyone seemed to sleep on Czechia. What a great performance that was.
I was so incredibly happy that Latvia went through!
Melovin qualifying 😭
Who..? Melovin's not here 😅
tom im very curious about your thoughts on the rai leak
ive spoken about if on twitter
Didn't you already upload this vid?
it got copyrighted
@@ESCTom Ahh, too bad :( on the other hand, who is your favourite to win?
Dons ✊🥰🥰🥰
Lets vote Finland to win finaly ! 🕺🕺
Did they win in 2006 -
@@dumblebug2486 yes.. but not 2023
@@petepeto9335 As deserved, just to add to your comment :)
Apparently Kaleen was a safe qualifier. Rumors says 4th
Great to hear if true, her song was my favourite from this semi along with Belgium and Czechia. Planning to vote for her and Silvester in the final
Delighted for Armenia 🇦🇲 👏
Genuine question Tom: but how are we supposed to enjoy tomorrow night, I am really struggling with Israel, and now we have the controversy that Joost may be disqualified, which might be the final nail in the coffin for me. Also what do you think of these leaked Italian results
I'm not Tom, but just chiming in to say you're not alone in feeling this way :/
im just waiting for this season to be over, to be honest. but just watch the show and enjoy what you can
Dropping in to help Tom’s algorithm and to say you’re not alone. What a shit show this whole past two days have been. I can’t imagine what tomorrow is going to be like. I can only hope that literally any other country wins (I’d love for it to be Croatia but at this point I’d even take France and I can’t stand Mon Amour tbh)
I was also gobsmacked Latvia made it through. Not because it's a bad song, it's quite pleasant to listen to and he's got a good voice, but I just didn't think this was a year where that would be rewarded.
ebu is such a joke
so sad about malta :( i hate it when they go away when i can't even try and change the results (i live in the UK)
A true artist has delivered in the second semi-final at ESC 2024! What a song and what a great performance. Simply great.🥰
Crown the Witch ☘️ 🇮🇪 ❤️ 🧙♀️ ✨️ 🖤 🎨💃🎭👑
The Latvian and Israel was suprising to say the least..... Latvia because of the staging and Israel..... well.... i dont need to say why. The Netherlands want to back out because of Israel..... well I respect it.
Good, then there will be a better chance for Israel to rise up the scoreboard :)
@@mallorygueho1824 Not a chance. If so, it's the end of Eurovision.
@@painpapadopoulos8120 Which one?
Not because of Israel. Joost punched a female photographer
@@mallorygueho1824do you not realise that if Israel win then esc’s reputation will be ruined, they might never recover
You saying Norway were "the safe ones" feels so weird now 😭
Belguim nq broke my heart
Me too
Me too, I had it joint first, but being honest he flunked it.
It was uncomfortable to watch as he was so nervous and he was ahead of the beat the whole way.
This was offset by another favourite of mine, Latvia, flipping the bird to everyone in sight and sailing through on pure merit
The Italy incomplete voting results thing is probably one of the biggest scandals in this season.
But I don’t think it was the true results since Norway was shown as in last and Albania in 3rd which just wouldn’t happen
No, those weren't the true results, Russia hacked something and probably changed the outcome, because they believe that it would raise Israel's chances of winning and its victory would divide Europe, which is exactly what Russia wants.
Those "results" cannot be true in any shape or form, yes. Though Norway might have major appeal only to Northern part of Europe, that much is true, but not dead last, no.
@@florenna I can't imagine it being true either. Probably faked leaked results by Russian hackers
Albania 3rd would make a lot of sense, because of the Albanian diaspora in Italy.
@@justarandomguy2140 they were 2nd to perform though
I'm so annoyed that I couldn't vote for Malta since I'm Australian.
Thanks for cheering for GEORGIA!!! ❤❤❤❤
Just on San Marino Tom. I actually backed them to qualify but her vocals were simply not up to that high quality semi final standard. The country whose name shall not be spoken, had a a great vocal performance and I am not surprised that Italy gave her the 12 points.
she was much better in rehearsals, i dont know what happened
True, after seeing the rehearsals, I put them back in as qualifiers, because her vocals were so much better than at the preparties. And that staging was so good… alas. But Malta not qualifying really broke my heart 🇲🇹💔
Whoever came 11st I'm so sorry you missed out because of country 14 being allowed to compete!
If Malta came 11th I'll be really annoyed, Sarah you are a star and we love you ❤
You couldn’t have predicted Latvia’s tears…
Armenia❤❤❤❤
Very sad for Mustii 🥲🥲My winner is now Ukraine : everything blended so beautifully song, staging, lighting, but hey we will see, always surprises with eurosong 😉Good luck for Bambie Thug 👍
Some sad losses in this semi for sure!
sarah bonnici you will always be famous
She was amazing. Her glow up as a performer and her performance from.the national finals was beyond imaginable. I didnt care for the song initially, but her performance literally slayed and I was so invested. Plus my friend was her makeup artist at Eurovision so I had to give them a few votes just for that too 😂
Shocked she didn't get through but she will walk away with so much more experience and artistic merit. I'm sure she'll go on to bigger things going forward.
Looks like The Netherlands could get DQ and this year Eurovision is a mess and choas and I don't like this one bit EBU is a joke
Who voted for Latvia? There’s a massive population of conservative 50-year-olds who enjoy a calm ballad with excellent vocals (they don’t like flashing lights, hard dancing and fire). For them Latvia was #1. I think that in the final juries will place latvia top 5 because of vocals and because of that overall Latvia will end up close to top 10.
I agree with everything although not with the demographics assessment.
On Facebook every age range liked it.
I liked it, yeah I was brought up with rock and rock ballads, but in Eurovision I'm a wilder the better afficionado... but I loved Latvia
Didn’t know I’m a 50-year-old conservative😅
(Well I’m I guess 25% of that, in comparison to a standard Eurovision fan I’m pretty conservative)
I watched with my parents and can confirm they liked all the more old-school or conventional songs that didn't qualify (Iceland, Denmark, Australia...) - but they didn't vote at all
@@12_terabyte57 actually to me, conservative in Eurovision means sequined buxom women with 5 dancers.
They've existed in various copycat version for decades and decades.
And with that in mind I find that most of the Eurovision community is painfully conservative 😂
Well I might even fit the demographic but I would never vote for Latvia in a million years 😂The most boring song in the contest! It will finish last or 2nd last, mark my words.
Can we get a Rim Tim Tagi Win tomorrow?
I hope so. 🙏🙏🤞🤞
I honestly strongly disagree with Greece, because it wss weak performance... she apparently doesnt know how to hold a microphone. Hervocals were very iffy. I do like the *song* though
reportedly she was sick
Georgia: what's with the frizzy, flyaway hairstyle? Don't have that in the final!
What are you talking about? Her hair was done this way specifically based on the theme of the song. She depicts a woman howling against fire and a woman who is trying to extinguish the world fire with the help of love and where you need to put out the fire you need water but on stage this is impossible so they gave the hair a feeling of wetness and the visualization turned out perfect. I see you didn’t listen to the song and didn’t catch the main message of this song...
But the strange hair is a vote loser.
Let's all vote for Croatia in the final🙏
yes 🤩🇭🇷
They don’t need any votes
@@ESCTomAbsolutely not. Originally, YOU said that the National Final performance needed to be refined and that moving a suitcase up and down was not helping. But, that suitcase is still being moved up and down. It's clunky. There are not many changes from the national. performance.
@@ar50000 1) The performance is refined now, 2) People can change their minds. Calm down.
No no noooo sorry
Armenia love you 🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲
It's just some speculation, but couldn't it be the case that Latvia, Israel, Slovenia and maybe Austria profited from the fact that they came before or after Big 5 countries, which means that some idiots actually wanted to vote for Germany, Spain, Italy, and probably for France as well, which could have put them over the edge. Maybe it had just a minor impact, and I'm glad that Latvia and Slovenia have qualified, and as an Austrian, I feel delighted and relieved that we made it through, but still.
Ah, yeah, my favourite country Melovin
its got a 100% qualificatiom rate
I would be really happy for Croatia if they won, I want them to win at some point, but I feel like if they win tomorrow their victory will not feel 100% genuine 😕 I know a lot of people feel forced to vote for Croatia now, just so Israel won't win and that's now how Eurovision is supposed to work. Now, after everything that's going on, from the leaked televote results (which has never happened before, and just "happened" to occur in the semi where Israel was competing and apparently got a good result) to Joost's possible disqualification... I wish Israel would have just stayed at home this year instead of ruining the contest for everyone else.
I also wish they'd stop dropping bombs on thousands of innocent children
You know, maybe that would have been better, but there was also another way of dealing with it. For example not constantly pushing people into boycotting and maybe also being decent and not booing while a contestant performs. Maybe also not spreading hate. Good job everyone who frequently complained about Israel taking part in ESC. Now people will vote for her out of spite.
Yes, Israel should have stayed home, instead of ruining everything for everyone, not just for Joost and the fans, but for they're own representative as well, I mean who wants to get booed constantly, that's also not a great experience for her. Maybe he showed her and her dancers footage from Gaza, and apparently, Israel doesn't want their representative to learn about the truth and to start questioning their government's behavior.
It's not Israel ruining the contest. People are ruining the contest for themselves. If everyone acted civil as they should there would be no problems. Eurovision is supposed to be something that unites people by music and allows people to celebrate diversity. Instead, what we get is people causing chaos in Malmo and trying to ruin ordinary people's day who just want to enjoy the contest and music. Eurovision is not a place for it and people should keep it in themselves.
@@gid9913 you cannot and should not be "united in music" by a representative of an apartheid state currently engaging in ethnic cleansing.
Im stuck between France and Croatia . Im going to have to vote for both .
Oh darn, I have to like this video again. How horrid. 😂
❤️
Czechia really deserved that one spot instead of Estonia/Latvia imo
I agree that Czehia deserved a spot but in place of Switzerland or Netherlands can't describe how much can't stand those two songs.
I loved loved loved Czechia, but Estonia was incredibly fun (non-ESC fans I know adored it) and Latvia was vocally perfect and very moving
🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻❤❤❤
No Belgium😮😮😮
FREE JOOST 🇳🇱
From what?
@@HelloKitty-we3ht Being disqualified
from consequences for a physical altercation with a female photographer?
@@tiny_lebowski it was not physical
@@briefeule right, the new reports say it was a threat, so not as bad as actual assault, but pretty bad if there is a complaint and the police is involved
I am not going to do tactic voting but vote those I ❤ most: ITALY, FRANCE NORWAY & IRELAND. Netherlands, Croatia nor Israel do not give me vibes sorry 🤷
we should just all vote croatia so israel dont win casue if they win its not gonna go down well
Why Croatia? The best choice will be Switzerland
@@yeowu5066 either one, I'm saying Croatia because I prefer them but yeah either croatia or Switzerland
@@yeowu5066Best choice would be Bambie, or Dons.
@@theHKguy We all know Switzerland will have more votes from the juries than Croatia , that's why I am saying it
@@ar50000 Lol , Ireland I love her so much, but the juries will kill her . And Dons? What ? He is the most shocking qualifier 🤡
I genuinely think it’s all over if Israel wins. I just feel so disgusted, I don’t know if I can even watch the final, felt so ill watching Israel perform and do their whitewashing.
Love the booing at Israel. They are ruining the entire competition this year
Agree, but I was actually sad I couldn't hear any booing, EBU covered it with tape as they do, so how could you hear it? 😂
@@Chasfondue17those against Israels oppression and their g3n0cidal regimes are painted out to be "gay H4m4s supporters". These g3nocide sympethisers are the ones ruining it.
