I will never give up on Eurovision, because I feel alive when it's my turn to go in too deep. It's the story of my life: no matter where I am, I'm on my way, running on air (to #Verona2018?).
My friend, it's time to breathlessly grab the moment and do it for your lover, your mother, the whole world, or die trying. It won't come easy - no one said it will be a perfect life - but you must keep the faith and go on.
Fly with me, and I'll follow you, so we can become like Greek gods floating in space; black paper birds defying the laws of gravity. For this is love for the both of us, dancing alone like naked apes in the flashlights and shadows of the city.
But in the end, when the rain of the night has extinguished the origin of our burning flame, let us all yodel a requiem for the line of skeletons left over from this beautiful mess.
Stunning.
Thanks. ^^
❤️ :)
Beautiful
Jacob Dean Why do you have to be a killjoy?
The fact wiwibloggs predicted estonia automatically qualified make me good when they said France is on bottom 15th !!!!!!
Jérémy Pereira It makes me good for Italy's win.
if Salvador wins, I'll be extremely happy. but if he doesn't, I'll be glad he won't get all the hate the winner usually gets (e.g. from Bulgaria fans). It's a blessing that we all know Salvador now, and he is the winner regardless of the outcome.
Bulgaria for the win! The best staging, such a strong voice, not unnecessary effects, super cute talanted boy with a great message. The song is NOT a romantic song, it's about GLOBAL LOVE. Through thick and thin, inspite of the problems and negativity going on, we will still carry on and give love. Global love, people. Vote for Chris cause he is really deserving and awesome!
Nice description. Enjoy Eurovision this afternoon.
Every time William starts reviewing Denmark I grab my popcorn and laugh as hard as I can
I don't get it why you guys started hating on Kristian so quickly, honestly he is just this good person who just wants to have fun and to make Bulgaria proud. There are definitely amazing entries like the UK, Denmark, Croatia, Belgium and so on BUT don't spread hate I mean every country is unique so just wish good luck to all of them and chill out
Nice thought, Simona. Enjoy Eurovison today!
Simona Belchinska i know right? I've even seen people spread rumours about how he's rude and said he will break the trophy...
MuruMuri thank you for understanding

LOL Chris was Triggered when William said that about the UK xD xD
The comments are so rude to whoever people don't like, Eurovision is better as a fun event where yes, you can vote for who should win, but if the "right" song doesn't win, it's not the end of the world, in the end, all it really decides is who can host it next year. Please guys, stop the hate
A nice call for sanity. Let's all enjoy Eurovison the show and look forward to coming together next year, wherever that might be. Best regards from the USA.
It's going to be a bloodbath between Portugal and Bulgaria.
I really (REALLY) want Portugal to win, but I'm thinking Bulgaria might sneak in and take it (which is absolutely not a bad thing)
I'm so excited to see what happens tomorrow!
Hope it will be a thriller :)
I totally agree with you
Vote for portugual !!! Thank u
I agree with you 100% on this :)
Ricardo Almeida
Buddy. You don't even need to ask. I certainly will ❤️
Portugal must win!!

Your dislike for Denmark was probably just because of the song rather than the performance itself. Care to provide a better argument?
Ludho Madrid They dislike her because she's much much better than the UK girl.
I like both actually. Lucie is pristine and perfect but she's at an arms length from me emotionally. I get that she is in theatre but I want her to sing through her gut rather than through her head. While Anja was singing through her gut and for her life. I felt her when she got down on her knees and just poured out her soul. She probably knew that bookies and the press don't like her song that much but she came out proving that she is more than what they think.
A beautiful defence for Anja. Good luck this afternoon and enjoy Eurovision.
After a hiatus represented by ''1944'', we need an happy, charismatic song! Go Francesco!!!
It's between Portugal, Bulgaria, UK, Italy and Belgium.
Your words always seems like a balsam for my ears.
Thank you so much.
Greetings from Portugal
I love you guys so much! I'm always staying up to hear the re-cap of each day and it truly transports us who couldn't come to Kiyv ourselves in a way that it feels like we are right there with you! Good night, sleep tight fabulous Wiwi's!
Portugal! Great singer and magic song!
celebrate diversity and Portugal and Italy are celebrating musical diversity!! Bulgaria has an amazing song, but there's nothing diverse about it... my winner is for sure Portugal!! LISBON 2018!!
I am crossing fingers for Bulgaria tonight. I know it will be difficult to win, but it`s our first chance for winning Eurovision and Kristian is doing his best. I adore him. Please, Europe, if you like our song and how it is performed, vote for Bulgaria. Can`t wait few more hours......
I feel you William... My heart says Portugal, but my brain says Bulgaria. Unfortunately Portugal and even Italy are going a way too early, and that is going to hurt them at the end, when it comes to get some votes from the viewers. Ill cross my fingers for them, cause those are my top 2: Portugal and Italy.
SolMH Conchita won in the same spot as Portugal
The first song you hear, it's a sign: BELGIUM FOR THE WIN
BULGARIA IS THE BEST!!!
Remember that Jamala wasn't a favourite of a lot of people last year so I think Portugal has a chance. Salvador's fragile and really sweet. Hope he wins.

i'll still cheer for bulgaria even the winner for eurovision 2017 is portugal(or whtevr~)for me bulgaria is the awesowe one:-)
#hatenohate
PORTUGAL 12 POINTS WHY?
*That's what music is supposed to do with you. Make you emotional, make you rethink so much things…* *Music... for me, there are multiple factors, a sample of which are, and i love this project what i feel? :
*Content*: Lyrics, composition, arrangement, instrumentation etc. How well is the piece constructed? Are we beside a Masterpiece? * *YES*
*Delivery*: Are the vocal and instrumentals well executed? Engagement: Do the artists appear involved in what they’re performing? Is their a perceptible level of emotion involved in the piece? *YES*
*Innovation*: Is the piece ground-breaking? Does it offer something new to the listener? And if so, is it a positive evolution, or innovation simply for the sake of being different? *YES*
*Intent/message*: Is the piece thought-provoking? Does it encourage the listener to contemplate its message, or is it simply background music? *YES*
*Involvement*: Does the piece have the ability to transcend the delivery method to capture the listener regardless? *Does it make you forget that you’re even listening to it on a “system?”* *YES*
*Continuity*: Do all of the above factors seamlessly come together to create a compelling piece? Originality and authenticity are the project intense with simplicity and the true meaning to create music and with natural interpretation in stage without sound effects ? *YES* !
*Are the project in harmony with all this thing’s in stage? are the elements lyrical content. Arrangement. Composition. Instrumentation. Delivery of vocal and instrumentals. Engagement. Innovation. Emotion. Progression of artist. Intent of the piece., duration, dynamics, harmony, melody, structure, texture, timbre * *YES*
*Does the piece appeal on a variety of levels intellectual, emotional and spiritual and is there a feeling of musicality about it ? That is , does the piece invoke a desire for body movement that corresponds to the gestures in sound ?* Jazz_Poetry... *YES*
Is there satisfying formal organization to the way the gestures are presented and developed? Since music occurs over time and for practical reasons, if for no other, music has to have a beginning and end, it seems to be our nature to expect some kind of sequence and development of the ideas that we find satisfying as anticipation and memory blend to create a mental image of form... *YES*
*Timeless like a movie we are inside the poem and we travel since 1910's - 2017*
EUROPE ARE YOU READY TO RE_LEARN THE TRUE MEANING TO LOVE FOR BOTH AND EVERYONE ?
*Music CZcams - Johann Johannsson - A Song For Europa* like Salvador Say - *Europe it’s Time to STOP and FEEL* Yes it’s possible to love both and everone… *Artistic, Performative, Unique and Autenticity* first time i see this in Eurovision History...YES! AND I BELIEVE IN THIS …Salvador Sobral and Portugal Thank’s for All This
See this video youtube - *Amar pelos Dois How To Stage Intimicy*
After 48 Years Dictature? 13 Year War? After 48 Year Participation ESC ..
Kiev Diversity? Ukraine? Yes PORTUGAL DESERVE AND WITH SO MUCH LOVE WITH ALL COUNTRIES.. ALL!!!
Go Kris, go BG. Enjoy and have fun tonight! You say that when you sing you think about nothing. Please do so tonight as well, be yourself and live the moment to its fullest. No matter what, we are so proud of you and you are our WINNER. XO from Belgium
Давай Крис! Не мисли за нищо, наслади се на момента до последната нота! Каквото и да стане, ние сме толкова горди и толкова те обичаме. Ти си нашия ПОБЕДИТЕЛ! Прегръдки от Белгия
And thank you William for the huge support you've shown since the beginning! We love you
The sick mom of OG3NE surprised her daughters in Kiev after the Jury Final. Now they will rock the stage even more! You can see a picture of them on the Instagram of OG3NE💖💖
it kind of feels like italy is out of the game now...
Portugal, meu coração esta com voces esta noite!
Our love is untouchable! 🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬
#TeamKris
Thanks for the recap!!
Bulgaria ❤🔝
Portugaaaaal #Lisabon2018! Kisses from Serbia♥♥♥
My top 3 - PORTUGAL!!!, Bulgaria, and Azerbaijan.
My prediction in random order: Belgium, Italy and Bulgaria.
The only Eurovision 2017 artist we will hear from in the future is obviously Kristian! And this is the best trophy... Go Kristian, go Bulgaria! Greetings from Canada!
Not an evergreen song😉
We will hear from more people. Isaiah is quite populair in Australia and if I'm not mistaken he has had a succesful song, O'G3NE is pretty famous in The Netherlands and maybe their harmonies can boost their international carreer, Blanche may get a hit somewhere in the future if she works with someone like Lost Frequenties and the list goes on and on. Many talent this year with a lot of potentional.
I think people don't understand how hard it is to yodel...Jury will give Romania many points for that. I think Romania has a great chance to win this Eurovision...
Ilinca is undoubtedly very talented. Enjoy Eurovision this afternoon.
I had a feeling it would come down to these three. This year is a very strong year. Can't wait to see how things play out tomorrow :)
My thoughts about The Netherlands:
Running order is not such a big problem. After Austrias performance, Armenia will bring great vocals, and the Netherlands will elevate that with theirs. You could think, Hey, it's too early, thy'll be forgotten, but let's remember that just after their spot there is a pause. It's a very good place for them: after hearing those vocals, the public will be captivated, and they will have the exact ammount of time to comment it and decide to vote it.
Small pauses like these help a lot. In the second one just after Portugal, the public will rememeber Salvador's, and probably The Netherlands, because they closed the "first period".
They will probably do Top 10 even Top5, the worst 11.
Good luck to the Netherlands, today. Enjoy Eurovision.
Bulgaria will win in 2017!!!
Ok, this is kinda weird. You guys, have always supported Francesco, and you've always thought he's gonna be the winner. The Dress Rehearsal can't change the opinion about him. I guess this is such an incoherent statement.
Very strange things happened recently and now I am confused mainly because promoting a jazzy number without this being a jazz contest is unexplicable. All countries could have send excellent jazz singers, male or female, but this is a pop song contest. BTW, I am not Gabbani's supporter but at least he followed all rules.
That's the reason I think Salvador won't win tonight. And honestly I hope so.
+Boris Rangelov This is not a pop contest lol.
It's a SONG contest
Fábio Carmo, I wrote "pop song" contest. All iconic winners are and will be pure pop, like ABBA, Johnny Logan, Brotherhood of men, Bucks Fizz etc. If you want to hear "masterpieces' as you like to call the portuguese number, these are usually found in jazz festivals, operas etc. Bulgaria can easily send a tenor or soprano or a jazz performer, but this is unfair.
Where is says this is a pop contest? It's a song contest! Songs can be from ant genre!
As a portuguese person, i'm really proud of our entry! If you told me last year that in 2017 we would be the top favourites to win, i would slap your face and tell you to joke with another person... It's simply amazing to see an entry from our coutry be the best one of the year! Since i watch Eurovision i'm dreaming with the day our country wins the contest! We participate since 1964, and our best place is a 6th in 1996... So, we deserve to be at least top 5, but for me, after seeing the predictions, anything different than the 1st place seems disapointing...but it shouldn't be...
However, if I had to bet my money, I would bet on Bulgaria ... Although Portugal has an infinitely superior theme, the question of the desistance of Russia could give victory to the Bulgarians, because they will get lots of votes from the ex-Sovietics. They will be in the top 3 of the televote and the jury and I think they will win! I really hope i'm wrong!!! Go Salvador!
GO ALMA !!!!
My Top 2 since March-- Portugal and Moldova. Excitement!!!
Bulgaria #1
Thanks God we have intrigue and suspense back in the competition. It looked so boring just two weeks ago when Italy seemed to be the only possible winner. And now it is at least a three horse race (plus a few dark ones :-) so happy it is coming to a nail biting finale!
Italy should win this eurovision, becouse Francesco's song is something unique that makes everyone dance and entertain. We will be waiting for you in Rome 2018
That's strange. I have seen a big crowd reaction when Italy performed. The whole arena dancing with Francesco and then the final standing ovation. I also watched the live streaming from the Eurovision press office and the two journalists said that Francesco's performance has been great and powerful and that the performance and the big crowd partecipation can win the jury. Bulgary and Portugal are serious contenders but ignoring Italy is just a bit ridicolous my friends.
I think it will be like last year! Portugal wins the Jury voting, Italy wins the Public voting and Bulgaria wins it all!
ApfelCake yes that could actually happen, especially bc Bulgaria is number 25. I'm happy about it 😝
Kasia is amaizing ! and Portugal ! I wish the good luck of the rest of the country ;)
Thanks dudes. Helped me finalise my top 10 bet.
Romania has the best song .Vocals Staging ...all package!! VOTE 20 EUROPE ..
aerea, atemporal, emocional, bella, sincera, libre, directa, armonica, sensible, cinematografica, magica #Lisboa 2108 por el bien de la musica y del festival, necesitamos mas verdad y menos artificio, musica en esencia, y menos malanarismos con las voces cuando no son capaces de susurrar, portugal es un susurro frente al grito, en un bosque encantado.
bon plaidoyer pour le Portugal. Bonne chance cet apres-midi! Aime Eurovision!
I'm really really stunned about the fact Italy's no longer a contender, and that neither is it to me.
I want either Portugal or Bulgaria to win.
But there are so many good act this year it's gonna be SO close this year. It's most likely that the public votes are gonna decide the final outcome.
Italy slays, I absolutely love it! It hit my heart straight away and it has stayed there. It got it all and I will be totally devastated if it does not win! Namaste Ale!
My prediction:
1. Italy or Portugal | Portugal or Italy
2. Armenia
3. Bulgaria or Croatia | Croatia or Bulgaria
4. Sweden
5. Belgium or Austria | Austria or Belgium
My wish/my taste:
1. Portugal #salvadorable
2. Bulgaria
3. Armenia
4. Italy
5. France
Great job wiwibloggs Team, congrats for all the reviews...
you guys are spot on!
Thank you from PORTUGAL ❤
My Predictions:
1. Portugal - The hype seems to be building for this since the semi's. Even if it's not liked, it seems to be respected.
2. Italy - The hype is dying for this song and the staging just feels off somehow.
3. Bulgaria - I think it'll be very close behind Italy like, 2 or 3 points close.
4. UK - Everything is going for her. Placing, performance, staging and that potential bloodbath in the last four acts.
5. Sweden - It's just become a standard for Sweden to do well. I don't think it'll change now.
6. Belgium - She'll suffer with her live performance. The studio version will get her here I think.
7. Romania - It's the stand out fun song but won't do as well with the jury's. The televote will get it here.
8. France - Following Bulgaria, she just won't stand out. It's a shame, this is my favourite song this year.
9. Moldova - They're always near perfect when performing. It's a polished performance and also has the meme going for it.
10. Hungary - It's too much of a required taste to do any better.
11. Azerbaijan - Croatia will cancel out its quirkiness and following Portugal isn't going to be easy for anyone.
12. Australia - Similar to Sweden, I think it'll just get points because it's Australia.
13. Greece - Studio version will get it here. Live is too flawed.
14. Armenia - Victim of the running order. It will stand out but is too early to stay memorable.
15. Norway - There's a break after this and the hook really stays with you so it'll probably get some of the lower points.
16. Belarus - Their live performance isn't as polished as other acts and the early running order will hurt them.
17. Israel - Victim of the running order. Studio version will get it here.
18. Netherlands - Forgettable for televoters but will be appreciated by Jury's.
19. Ukraine - They'll get host gratuity points I think.
20. Croatia - I think this qualified because it was fun but it's the least fun of the fun songs.
21. Cyprus - A forgettable song sandwiched between two strong performances.
22. Germany - She's too good for last place. She's a flawless performer with an unfortunately bad song.
23. Poland - I think it will be forgotten by voters.
24. Denmark - Likely to be forgotten by voters.
25. Austria - Again, likely to be forgotten by voters.
26. Spain - It's not really likable and quite forgettable.
I actually think Sweden will flop, maybe not even top 10.
Hope you right.. Sobral deserves to win. If his music don't win is a shame for europe.
Italy is great but not the best and not the winner tonight. Portugal, Bulgaria and Belgium will 'climb' over him. They also have a better running order, so...
I can't believe you are talking this over when Onuka is playing in the background. That was the best performance of Eurovision! ;)
Guys, you are simply great. I love your blog and I just hit the subscribe button 😉
look Portugal is good but not a winning act what is going on with all the people calling it a masterpiece really???
Poland/Kasia she is sick , however slayed as always, a special on the end of song masterpiece of singing !! I hope she will repeat tomorrow in Grand Final @@@@
I hope she feels better today and gives her best performance. Love and happiness to ALL of Europe! Enjoy the show!
You guys at wiwibloggs have done an amazing job keeping us up to date with this years contest, many thanks for that :-)
The one result from the Jury Final that sticks out like a sore thumb is Australia. What did the juries see in this song that the public didn't? Are the juries trying to suck up to Australia because they're still the new kids on the block? What upsets me most is the Jury vote helped Australia into the final at the cost of Georgia and I think Tamara really deserved to make the final. What do other people think about Australia this year and how the juries voted?
Soup Dragon - He did well in the jury shows. That bum note in the semi finals was one reason why he received such shockingly low televotes. He lost every faith of receiving any public vote after that. He's actually charting at around 10th place on itunes (17 countries) & 6th place on spotify (6 countries) at the moment. I always check these stats to see how contestants are going after the shows. People were reluctant to vote for him after that incident. Probaby after eurovision people realised that it didn't deserve 2 televotes? It is also important what happens after eurovision. Tamara was also one of my favourites. 😊
Australia was very weak. Finland and Czech Republic were much better, and should be in the final instead of Australia.
It's funny how everyone was worried before that this years contest would be too predictable, now it's as close as it can be at the top. However the results go, it will be an awesome and intense show that I can't wait for :) may the best song win!
I am absolutely agree with you! And of course the winner is Portugal
Italy, Armenia and Portugal TOP3
I think, the young people will vote for Bulgaria. Kristian, the song, the stage, the performance...it is a full package.
My votes go to Italy and Hungary. Love from Portugal
#1 Portugal (there is no secret)
#2 Italy
#3 Bulgaria
#4 Belgium (with a good live performance)
UK top 3!! For those who are watching it for the first time, they will love it
Agree, she impress and I will vote for the UK from Norway :)
yesss!
nightwatch111 aw thank you, I also love your country's entry, go JOWST! Love from Uk
I think that sweden won't fade. They are in the middle of ballads. With the energetic staging it could win.
OOO yep, book your tickets to Sofia right now. Kris will take us all there tonight.!
