Biti sdrava👏😍 Go serbiaaaa Sweden and Serbia were my favorites in this semi final but I'm also so happy for Belgium ( yes I actually like it a lot), Czech Republic, Finland, Estonia and Poland
Serbia was so EPIC! 😱 I see them finishing Top 5 this year. I haven't expected Belgium to make it, but juries seem to love sad boys. All male ballads are through.
I wouldn't actually describe the Belgian entry as a typical ballad, it is rather a slow pop song with a touch of R'nB, completely different from the other ballads in the contest
Glad that Godstrakta is through. Eurosong really needs subtitles, I mean no one apart from UK and Ireland speaks English in Europe as their native language and every country struggles when sending something to Eurovision in their native tongue. This year, Serbia took a great risk and sent a song that could never be sang to this extent in English. It's pure poetry. Literally every verse has a deeper meaning and could be analyzed. When I first heard it, I thought, this is what I do in my house, just start reciting about my life at random in half-song, but her lyrics are just mind blowing. While you listen to it, you can literally feel yourself opening a magazine titled "what's the secret of Megan Markle's healthy hair", continue on into an article that is telling you that some imperfection on your skin/face is due to internal organ malfunction, and then just enter into a state where you are obsessed by being healthy. All while considering proverb "healthy spirit in healthy body" as your anthem and finally twisting it explaining that we all live in world that is driving us insecure and our mind becomes sick, sad, desperate and frightened. As Austrians would say, if you die healthy, you will still be dead. Excellent piece of contemporary art. It's so nice that after years of sending half naked girls, Serbia sends fully dressed mother of 2, a 40 something woman with an actual degree (Architecture) and all eyes are on her, while she's simply illustrating everyday's life and how compulsive health obsession is degrading mental health, all while only sitting and washing hands. If there were subtitles for the entire lyrics, she'd win televote for sure.
@@chlorinelori1064Youd be suprised. It only sounded like that, but it is quite deep. It was originally a few poetry turned to a song, and you know poetry can be quite deep. About this one, she is singing about our obsession with outer health of artists and generally and tend to forget about mental health.

So happy for 🇷🇸 Konstrakta and her song. ESC needs something different and artistic. So unique. And so happy that people who don't actually speak Serbian give such a huge support to her. Well done ESC. #theartisnotdead #bitizdrava #konstrakta #esc2022
I threw 2 tantrums. When both Australia and Sweden went through. I just don't like either of them. Delighted for Romania, Belgium, and, of course, Konstrakta.
Poland 🇵🇱 the best, OCHMAN is amazing, when I watched his show on TV I was enchanted, I had goosebumps all through the show, it was raining in my place, I regretted a lot and I wish I could see it live, but I will fix it
The Romanian performance was absolutely dreadful and week Estonia and Czech Republic are in a completely different League to that load of trash in my opinion
I have to say that all Q were really good tonight and I am so happy for them. For me the best was Australia, Poland, Serbia and Sweden. Estonia also did a great performance.
multumesc pentru voturile date Romaniei si Moldovei...multumesc...multumesc/So happy for Romania .... success to all and to win the best ..that is Music!
Poor Cyprus! That vocal performance was really shaky. I was so stressed waiting for Serbia at the end too 😅 Also, this is not video related but your hair looks so cute here!
My predictions were serbia, poland, sweden, czech republic, estonia, australia, cyprus, belgium, romania, finland. I thought cyprus would qualify instead of azerbaijan but it's pretty good overall. Im happy with the results. I'm so glad czech republic made it to the finals.
@@EMMYK1916 I liked Brooke's song but it was unlikely to see her qualifying because the entry could have been regarded as quite generic by the juries. She seems so nice, i really wish her the best!
You have no idea how nerve-wrecking is when your country is called last 😁😁 But great feeling of relief though. So congrats to everyone, this semifinal was great, I don't think any of the contestants made any mistakes while performing. Especially cheers to Finland, my 2nd favorite. ❤️❤️❤️ And thanks to you Rachel, see you in the finals ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m also happy with Azerbaijan going trough! Song was very strong and the story was great on stage. I’m with you’re dad on Malta. The final could have used the happy vibes from the Maltese performer! 🇳🇱
So today, these were the ones that I believed were gonna make it: 1. Serbia 2. Azerbaijan 3. Cyprus 4. Estonia 5. Poland 6. Sweden 7. Czech Republic 8. Israel 9. Australia 10. Belgium or Montenegro (?) 8/10! 😂 That's pretty good, isn't it? I think that Cyprus deserved this final. But I guess it's fine. 😊
It wasn't the staging that let Cyprus down. It was her vocals. They were very off unfortunately. I thought they would qualify before I saw the performance then I knew they wouldn't after
The Czech Republic was a pleasant surprise for me, they seemed to be under the radar for a while, but always liked the song... gutted about Achille Lauro - that was a great performance and the final will be duller without him.. Thank God Serbia got through 🙏Will be a very ballad heavy final. Will be fascinated to see the jury votes (and then get resentful)
you know what? i feel like juries this year didnt want anything remotely flashy and sexual in nature. i think thats also one of the many reasons why albania and latvia didnt qualify either.
@@m.bonato4193 I agree. It goes without saying we will have lots of stylish ballads and mid-tempos on the night, so far that reason I was hoping Georgia/ Serbia and Achille got through for some energy on the night. Got one out of three.i felt the same about Albania and Latvia too. I'll be interested to see if the public and juries agree on this.
Well done Rachel! 9 out of 10 correct that was fantastic! I also predicated the exact same 10 as you did so I also got 9 out of 10 which is actually better than I expected. And I was so panic stricken at the end while we waited for the long drum roll for 10th qualifier. And I’m so overjoyed that it was Serbia. If that hasn’t gone through I would have lost heart because it’s such an amazing entry. My number 1. Congratulations Rachel for your accurate predictions and I won’t congratulate your dad since he only got 5 right so I’ll give him a high 5 instead. lol Thanks for sharing your reaction Rachel. I can’t wait for the grand final and I’m excited to hear your predictions and thoughts about that too
I really love these videos of you and your dad making scoreboard prediction and react. Your both so cute. I think that today's biggest shocker was Belgium. I wish Irelend made it through, but I got Czech Republic, Sweden and Serbia, so I am happy.
I was very pleased with the results!! I think all of them deserved it and I would not know who to remove if I wanted to put someone else in. I am so happy for Belgium, Czech Republic... I was scared for them! Australia really won me over, I did not like his national performance.. but this one was perfect and I loved that he climbed those stairs. I had personally 8 out of 10 here, with Cyprus and San Marino (I took a shot) in; I did not have Finland and Romania.. I thought Finland was above my expectations, so I was happy. Romania, I just don't really like the song, but I thought the performance was good, and I am always pleased to see countries in the final that were not there for a while, which is the case for Romania.
ohhhh you don’t know how much I love that you were the most enthusiastic about Romania (my country) qualifying 😍😍 you’ve really been very good at predicting in the semis don’t you think what really let down cyprus was the vocals but not necessarily the staging? or maybe her low energy overall in contrast with the contest atmosphere; i see some of the ideas and frames in the staging really beautiful and luring
I got 9/10 too ! I just had Georgia (didn't expect to like their performance but they were fun) instead of Romania but I'm happy for them, their performance was nice ! And particularly happy for Australia, Sweden and Serbia. I'm glad Belgium got through even if it wasn't my favourite performance, but as a Belgian I have to support Jeremie and I think is vocal performance was on point for such a hard song
I wasn't very much onboard with Belgium, Azerbaijan and Czechia before the semi final happened, but live they did give a very strong performance. A bit like Switzerland. There too I didn't think a lot of the song but the live performance was very strong, with a lot of passion coming through.
@@videoarchive5738 his voice is decent but his register can't handle his song, he just doesn't reach the notes. Still just for his performance he didn't deserve that place more than ireland or north macedonia
Since we had the same prediction, we both got 9/10!! I am nice and pleasantly shocked :D - ALLEZ LES BELGES!!! So happy he got through against what I initially thought, and I'm so glad they were announced 1st for once😄But once again, we got the 1st one wrong! - I'm sorry Cyprus didn't get through, cause that final performance was actually fine. Also, my eye candy's gone, darn it. That said, the cost was my 2nd country being out, and so I'll take it nonetheless. Hopefully they won't go back to cheap reggaeton-like songs next year again. On the same note - this is the first time both Cyprus and Israel have NQd in 8 years!! That's an impressive run. - GEORGIA 😭😭 - Seeing Romania back for the first time in 5 years feels good, ngl ^^ - I nearly died when Serbia was the last to be called out... that performance was PERFECT, and I stand by my theory that she's a serious threat this year. - Malta's NQ was a big f you to TVM. Seriously, they were so deluded sending that song and thinking we were good to go, AND that going back to the shambles of a selection that is MESC was a good idea. - Y'know what, bless your dad for playing along! He honestly could have had a better score, this semi was so tight!
Malta’s performance was all over the place. Started off well at the piano, vocals good. But the choreo and dancers were just so random, displaced and under-rehearsed. I’ll be shocked if this didn’t place near the bottom :(
@@ThePeaceAround Unfortunately, I'm inclined to agree. If the performance was similar in the jury final, I wonder if we even got top 10 with THEM. That would be quite the result... Now everyone's gonna go on a UK-type tirade "NEIBERS, EVERY1 H8S MALTA, WE SHOULD. OT PARTISIPATE." (Big fat sic, lemme know if you need it translated).
I'm so glad that Belgium qualified and I'm wondering why so many people thought it was so shocking that it did. Jérémie's vocals were gorgeous and the song was unique in its genre (soul). A well-deserved qualifier which I'll give one of my votes to tonight!
Pour one out for San Marino, Ireland, and Georgia. Surely, they will live on in my spotify. Belgium for sure was a shocker but I kinda liked him so it was a pleasant surprise. Real pleased about Czech Republic, like Georgia, I thought it was a pipe dream they'd get through, but they did!
You have to be watching a different show to what I was the Romanian performance was terrible and he has an awful weedy voice and the song is pedestrian
@@CyberSlammer2024 you must have been watching the different show, Romania just nailed it, their performance was sheer joy and pure energy, choreography is one of the strongest this year, and the song is a sure hit😁
@@CyberSlammer2024 that's okay, at least you are being polite expressing your opinion and not hurting anyone's personal feelings. I'm sure there are other songs we both love or hate😉 Let's see what happens in the final, it's hard to predict this year!
I wasn't a fan of San Marino before but I actually really liked Achille's performance and the song is catchy so I hoped he'd qualify over Finland. Sorry Finland, I think The Rasmus qualified only because they're a well-known band, the vocals were bad.
@@bv0804 Unfortunately I didn’t like the San Marino song. In my own top 40 I think I had it at 38th. We’ve had recent Eurovision rock songs by the likes of blind channel and Maneskin and this never really came anywhere near in terms of quality.
@@bv0804 I was fearful that San Marino’s onstage carnival could have possibly outshined the fairly poor vocal of Finlands entry from the Rasmus. But I’m relieved that people could see through it all and recognise that the song itself was never much good
Rasmus has always sang like that. He's an average singer but great and energetic performer. I think that's got them through and not their "name". Besides that Achilles Lauro's Song reminds me of last year's Winner Song too much
Dude how did Belgium qualify with that performance 😭? He was literally so stiff the entire performance, I don't even believe the jury would overrate something like this genre
I really wished for Georgia (Circus Mircus) to win a slot in the finals till the last moment. They were my favourites tonight and my 3rd in this year's competition.
Have you already seen the new version of Sam Ryders performance, especially the finish? I think it's really impressive and perfect for the eurovision stage!
I am no fan of the UK song, but, can you explain to me why has he obscured himself in a sort of cage? Surely that will only create distance and a lack of connection with viewers?
@@alipanroosendaal9503 as a crazy fan of UK song let me say there's no threat of distance or lack of connection when we speak of Sam and his performances. He has unbelievable magnifying power. I guess the cage is needed to hinder panties and underwear thrown from the audience🤣 females are going insane over this guy.
@@jeanmarco40 That could well be the "high" concept. However, I cannot help but suspect that Sam (bless him) is simply playing out his sci-fi fantasies on the altar of the UK's ESC aspirations.
Way to go EBU - giving me major stress at the end with Serbia there. Like you, Rachel, I would have been VERY annoyed if they'd not made it. I was expecting the host to say "San Marino" at that point. Anyway, after I'd seen all the songs, I only had my five dead certs going through, and was struggling with the other five. But in the end, I chose: Finland - dead cert, despite the hit-and-miss vocals Australia - the best vocal performance of ALL the semi-final songs in my opinion. It was always going through Poland - another easy decision Sweden - ditto Serbia - I threw both hands in the air shouted, "YES!" very loudly when they were announced. My wife ditched her in favour of Israel, would you believe it?! Meghan Markle will be pleased Azerbaijan - slow start, but it built well, and I've always been a fan of this. Nice work, and that voice is raspier than ever Estonia - an early favourite of mine, and I'm glad he didn't just stand still. Jumping the river was a risky move, but he chose a narrow spot. I think that might have won a few people over Czech Republic - I LOVED their light show, and the singer is amazing. Her energy, movement, and the looks she gives the camera are perfect. Left-hand side of the scoreboard tomorrow? Romania - I wasn't sure before tonight, but just like Moldova he brought it when it mattered, and that's what swung me San Marino - my only failure. Having seen Cyprus and Ireland disappoint I had this down as the one sneaking through into tenth place, but the boring Belgium got it instead Of the others: Belgium - I could easily have picked this if San Marino hadn't pulled out all the stops. I don't like it, never will, and nothing will change my mind Georgia - despite being a quirky song, the performance was very flat. They all just stood there - whatever. Malta - I haven't heard one live version of this where Emma sings perfectly in tune throughout. Also, the song is boring. Sorry Ireland - I think Brooke knew she wasn't going to qualify, so just had a good time. Again, not stand-out enough, despite its upbeat nature Israel - I did consider putting this through at one point, but Romania was the country I chose instead. I think his vocals just annoy the hell out me (like last year's whistle note effort) Montenegro - very weak vocals when singing in the lower registers, and she didn't move once. Uninspiring, to be honest North Macedonia - in the running for last-placed song this year, which is a shame. But it was never going to stand out against any of the qualifiers, except maybe Belgium Cyprus - oh dear. Weak, pitchy vocals that needed more volume. You're right about the staging - very bland (same as the song). Pastel shades that didn't "pop" 🙂 So I got another nine out of ten, giving me 18 out of 20 overall for the semis. I'm quite pleased with that. Now all I have to do is predict the entire finishing order for the final, LOL!
@@neilonaniet I’m not sure if you saw when he gatecrashed the presenters segment and started shouting ‘vote I.M’ and like miming along to the presenters cue notes. It was so childish and stupid honestly.
@@ThePeaceAround I must have been having a pee and putting the kettle on when that bit happened. I just watched it back, and he is somewhat over top top, isn't he? I'm surprised he wasn't politely escorted away. Oh well, it didn't work out in the end, which serves him right I suppose.
So sad, that Cyprus did not make it to the final. I must admit though, her live vocals were a bit weak and shaky tonight, after her performance I got very nervous. I am very happy that Romania and Belgium made it, because they were both favourite entries from mine from early on. I was a bit surprised about Azerbaijan and Australia, I think only the high jury vote pushed these two to the top
Since we know now who will be in first half of the final and who in the second half, who do you think will producers put for the opener of the show and who will be the closer? I could see Czech Republic opening the finals and UK closing it. I could also see Switzerland being put into 2nd slot (death slot), followed by Romania.
Was shocked that Cyprus didn’t go though. This also leaves the gaping question as to whom Greece is going to give their 12 points to now. 9/10. We’ll done. You did better than me. I predicted 6/10. Going more with my heart than my head. Finland Azerbaijan Georgia Malta Cyprus Australia Poland Sweden Montenegro Estonia
I like Belgium’s song, but I felt like the live performance wasn’t impressive at all. I would really love to see San Marino qualify and I almost believed they could, now I’m curious if the public vote ranked them high or not. I also love Georgia but I already knew they probably weren’t qualifying
In the second semifinal their was only one suprise that were ranked outside the top ten by the bookies. It was Cyprus that missed out but I must say sadly as her voice sounded live I saw it as imposible for her to go through. Romania was ranked just outside the top 10. 2.75 in the odds. It followed the same patterns as in semifinal 1. In semifinal 1 their wasn´t many chocks in the semifinal as you said. if you think about what the bookies said and the bookies mostly get it right. There was only two entrys that weren´t favourite to go thorugh that did and they were ranked just outside the 10 favourites to go through and no one had over 3 in the odds-. The only odds "chock" were that Albania did not go trough but not a big suprise for the ones following the odds. The odds had risen kind of much during the week so the odds did open for that they could be the one of the favourites that missed out.
I'm so happy for Belgium, it may need some staging work and he needs to loosen up a bit but it's one of my favorite songs this year so I am really excited that he's getting a chance to clean it up and nail it for the final. That said many of my favorites in this group were not favored and didn't get through so I might have more eclectic taste.
My father has an Irish family and Brooke's live vocals and staging was fantastic for an Irish song. Hence, we came to the conclusion that Brooke deserved to qualify. But we sadly didn't get her in. My mother took one look at Romania's song and said 'No.' Whereas Ireland gave off good vibes to them. Both of my parents REALLY liked the staging of Cyprus's song but HATED the live vocals. My dad commented on at IMMEDIATELY in the first 20 seconds, which shocked me because i've seen Cyprus's vocals in previous rehearsals. Still shocked Ireland didn't go through. If they don't go through based on that performance, they can never qualify ever again.
I really love Belgium's song so I'm happy they qualified but I will agree that Jeremie was not the best as he could be live, especially when the song relies so much on vocals. But crossing my fingers it will be better at the final. I'm a bit sad for Ireland, it definitely deserved it a bit more than some other qualifiers, and I would have loved to Cyprus, Israel, and Montenegro in the final as well, but overall not as *shocking* as SF1
Serbia:PERFECT!!!!! 10/10.Alert winner in Saturday.
This Saturday btw. Serbia and UK winners.❤💙💪👍
I could have used my heart as a jackhammer while waiting for Serbia. But so relieved in the end, she really deserved it 😍
Me too but with Romania=)

Sweden and Serbia were my favorites in this semi final but I'm also so happy for Belgium ( yes I actually like it a lot), Czech Republic, Finland, Estonia and Poland
Serbia? Are you kidding?
Serbia was so EPIC! 😱 I see them finishing Top 5 this year.
I haven't expected Belgium to make it, but juries seem to love sad boys. All male ballads are through.
I really don’t understand how people liked that song. It’s the worst song I have heard in times.
I wouldn't actually describe the Belgian entry as a typical ballad, it is rather a slow pop song with a touch of R'nB, completely different from the other ballads in the contest
"If Serbia doesn't qualify I'm throwing a tantrum" - yes that sums up about 2/3 of Europe there 😂
so happy to see people celebrating Romania entering the final
6:00 That "YESSS" melted my heart!! Big hugs to you from Romania!!!!❤️
Glad that Godstrakta is through. Eurosong really needs subtitles, I mean no one apart from UK and Ireland speaks English in Europe as their native language and every country struggles when sending something to Eurovision in their native tongue.

You’re so gorgeous and smart! ❤️ Thank you for recognizing Konstrakta’s art and for supporting Serbia! ❤️❤️❤️
Rachel, you are simply adorable for your enthusiasm. Don't change a bit.
You are so cute :D
I'm so pleased to hear that my country - Poland - is in final for the first time since 2017
The Czech Republic was a pleasant surprise for me, they seemed to be under the radar for a while, but always liked the song... gutted about Achille Lauro - that was a great performance and the final will be duller without him.. Thank God Serbia got through 🙏Will be a very ballad heavy final. Will be fascinated to see the jury votes (and then get resentful)
Same here: gutted about Achille not making it. He added so much to the competition, just by being there and being his outrageous, creative self.
@@danielaf1487 totally, and he even threw in a bonus kiss. I'll be so irritated if the juries kept him out....
heartbroken about achille. thats a perfomance for THE AGES, ugh
you know what? i feel like juries this year didnt want anything remotely flashy and sexual in nature. i think thats also one of the many reasons why albania and latvia didnt qualify either.
@@m.bonato4193 I agree. It goes without saying we will have lots of stylish ballads and mid-tempos on the night, so far that reason I was hoping Georgia/ Serbia and Achille got through for some energy on the night. Got one out of three.i felt the same about Albania and Latvia too. I'll be interested to see if the public and juries agree on this.
Holy cow these predictions were DEAD ON
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES ROMANIA FINNALYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
🇷🇸💪🌍✌ KONSTRAKTA Yea Free Masons yes we are here ,everywhere..Earth must be healthy, Europa must and can be Happy 😍👊😚😚😚
Well done Rachel! 9 out of 10 correct that was fantastic!
I also predicated the exact same 10 as you did so I also got 9 out of 10 which is actually better than I expected.
And I was so panic stricken at the end while we waited for the long drum roll for 10th qualifier.
And I’m so overjoyed that it was Serbia.
If that hasn’t gone through I would have lost heart because it’s such an amazing entry. My number 1.
Congratulations Rachel for your accurate predictions and I won’t congratulate your dad since he only got 5 right so I’ll give him a high 5 instead. lol
Thanks for sharing your reaction Rachel. I can’t wait for the grand final and I’m excited to hear your predictions and thoughts about that too
I really love these videos of you and your dad making scoreboard prediction and react. Your both so cute.
I think that today's biggest shocker was Belgium. I wish Irelend made it through, but I got Czech Republic, Sweden and Serbia, so I am happy.
Grazie per la reazione di Wrs ❤️e congratulazioni per la sua intuizione.
I was very pleased with the results!! I think all of them deserved it and I would not know who to remove if I wanted to put someone else in.
I am so happy for Belgium, Czech Republic... I was scared for them!
Australia really won me over, I did not like his national performance.. but this one was perfect and I loved that he climbed those stairs.
I had personally 8 out of 10 here, with Cyprus and San Marino (I took a shot) in; I did not have Finland and Romania.. I thought Finland was above my expectations, so I was happy. Romania, I just don't really like the song, but I thought the performance was good, and I am always pleased to see countries in the final that were not there for a while, which is the case for Romania.
SO happy for Azerbaijan-I was scared it would be overlooked!
It was boring I don't know how it's qualified I'm really shocked
@@CyberSlammer2024 He is one of the best vocalist this year. He got many points from the jury
@@Scheherasad how do you know how many points he got from juries?
@@CyberSlammer2024 Because it's a song and vocal that juries usually go for
@@sav0001 yes I think you are right that the juries may have pushed this song through I just found it incredibly boring
# LLÁMAME-ROMÂNIA 🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🕺💃🕺💃🎤🕺👍❤❤❤❤❤
So happy for Romania ❤️
ohhhh you don’t know how much I love that you were the most enthusiastic about Romania (my country) qualifying 😍😍
you’ve really been very good at predicting in the semis
don’t you think what really let down cyprus was the vocals but not necessarily the staging? or maybe her low energy overall in contrast with the contest atmosphere; i see some of the ideas and frames in the staging really beautiful and luring
I got 9/10 too ! I just had Georgia (didn't expect to like their performance but they were fun) instead of Romania but I'm happy for them, their performance was nice ! And particularly happy for Australia, Sweden and Serbia. I'm glad Belgium got through even if it wasn't my favourite performance, but as a Belgian I have to support Jeremie and I think is vocal performance was on point for such a hard song
My reaction was almost the same about my country 💕 i think that my heart stoped couple of time until i hear SERBIA 💕
I personally did not like Ausralia's song at all. So happy that Poland made it through! My 2nd favorite song this year, with Italy my #1.
💛 Same but Poland over Italy.
SAMEEEE
Thank you... , but Poland is better than Italy 🙂🌊❤️🌊
Dios mío tus nervios y tu atención me representan GREAT VÍDEO 🤘🏼
I wasn't very much onboard with Belgium, Azerbaijan and Czechia before the semi final happened, but live they did give a very strong performance. A bit like Switzerland. There too I didn't think a lot of the song but the live performance was very strong, with a lot of passion coming through.
9/10 WOW!! You're amazing with predictions!!
congratulations to your predictions! your videos are wonderful for ESC fans!
I'm from Belgium and I feel like we have stolen it from Ireland, but so happy for
my country & Jérémie!
are you kidding me, Belgium was wonderful, Jérémie’s voice is very good
No way, Belgium fully deserved it! Jérémie is a natural and the song was pure class! No one stole anything.
He deserves it to be in the final show because of his vocals+I like his song
@@videoarchive5738 his voice is decent but his register can't handle his song, he just doesn't reach the notes. Still just for his performance he didn't deserve that place more than ireland or north macedonia
Hola mi bebe be …thanks from Romania 🇷🇴
I'm so happy for Belgium ! And so sad for Ireland and San Marino
9 out of 10 😱
You are brillant 😍
Great video , such an amazing ESC 2022. UK 2nd place wa awesome. wish was winner but that 600+ is hard to beat
I'm so happy for Australia and Romania! The other ones were sure qualifiers (besides Belgium), I wasnt worried.
Thanks to you and your dad from Poland
Love your comments!!! So passionate!
Since we had the same prediction, we both got 9/10!! I am nice and pleasantly shocked :D
- ALLEZ LES BELGES!!! So happy he got through against what I initially thought, and I'm so glad they were announced 1st for once😄But once again, we got the 1st one wrong!
- I'm sorry Cyprus didn't get through, cause that final performance was actually fine. Also, my eye candy's gone, darn it. That said, the cost was my 2nd country being out, and so I'll take it nonetheless. Hopefully they won't go back to cheap reggaeton-like songs next year again. On the same note - this is the first time both Cyprus and Israel have NQd in 8 years!! That's an impressive run.
- GEORGIA 😭😭
- Seeing Romania back for the first time in 5 years feels good, ngl ^^
- I nearly died when Serbia was the last to be called out... that performance was PERFECT, and I stand by my theory that she's a serious threat this year.
- Malta's NQ was a big f you to TVM. Seriously, they were so deluded sending that song and thinking we were good to go, AND that going back to the shambles of a selection that is MESC was a good idea.
- Y'know what, bless your dad for playing along! He honestly could have had a better score, this semi was so tight!
Malta’s performance was all over the place. Started off well at the piano, vocals good. But the choreo and dancers were just so random, displaced and under-rehearsed. I’ll be shocked if this didn’t place near the bottom :(
@@ThePeaceAround Unfortunately, I'm inclined to agree. If the performance was similar in the jury final, I wonder if we even got top 10 with THEM. That would be quite the result... Now everyone's gonna go on a UK-type tirade "NEIBERS, EVERY1 H8S MALTA, WE SHOULD. OT PARTISIPATE." (Big fat sic, lemme know if you need it translated).
justice for achille!!! but im really happy for romania bc i wasnt sure about him qualifying. also, congrats on (almost) nailing it 🥰
I'm so so sad for Cyprus but I also like all the qualifiers
I'm so glad that Belgium qualified and I'm wondering why so many people thought it was so shocking that it did. Jérémie's vocals were gorgeous and the song was unique in its genre (soul). A well-deserved qualifier which I'll give one of my votes to tonight!
Pour one out for San Marino, Ireland, and Georgia. Surely, they will live on in my spotify.
Belgium for sure was a shocker but I kinda liked him so it was a pleasant surprise. Real pleased about Czech Republic, like Georgia, I thought it was a pipe dream they'd get through, but they did!
Thank you for Poland! 🙂🌊❤️🌊🇵🇱💪
Hey! You were on TG1, Rai 1's News broadcast here in Italy 😁
Today around 2 pm
Romania was actually so good, the performance was excellent 💯
You have to be watching a different show to what I was the Romanian performance was terrible and he has an awful weedy voice and the song is pedestrian
@@CyberSlammer2024 you must have been watching the different show, Romania just nailed it, their performance was sheer joy and pure energy, choreography is one of the strongest this year, and the song is a sure hit😁
@@olkadot I hate the song with a passion sorry I have to disagree with you lol but that is the joy of Eurovision
@@CyberSlammer2024 that's okay, at least you are being polite expressing your opinion and not hurting anyone's personal feelings. I'm sure there are other songs we both love or hate😉 Let's see what happens in the final, it's hard to predict this year!
@@olkadot very true and thank you for a nice message compared to so many on here I have no idea who will win this year although I suspect Ukraine May
Wow, you guessed so well!
Hola mi bebé-bé🔥❤🇷🇴
I’m satisfied with most of these results except for Ireland. Brooke did so good ❤️
Her performance tonight made the song sound 100x better than what I thought previously. She really deserved it.
All the songs I wanted to see in final are there and that's good.
I wasn't a fan of San Marino before but I actually really liked Achille's performance and the song is catchy so I hoped he'd qualify over Finland. Sorry Finland, I think The Rasmus qualified only because they're a well-known band, the vocals were bad.
The vocals did seem a bit dodgy for Finland but I much preferred the song to San Marino
I really wanted San Marino to pass. I don't think they would win but the song was really good
@@bv0804 Unfortunately I didn’t like the San Marino song. In my own top 40 I think I had it at 38th.
We’ve had recent Eurovision rock songs by the likes of blind channel and Maneskin and this never really came anywhere near in terms of quality.
@@bv0804 I was fearful that San Marino’s onstage carnival could have possibly outshined the fairly poor vocal of Finlands entry from the Rasmus.
But I’m relieved that people could see through it all and recognise that the song itself was never much good
Rasmus has always sang like that. He's an average singer but great and energetic performer. I think that's got them through and not their "name". Besides that Achilles Lauro's Song reminds me of last year's Winner Song too much
You were only esc content creator which believed in Nadir since the start!
Love U girl, from Serbia ❤️🇷🇸
You had a pretty accurate prefiction!
Belgium very underrated this year on youtube
But I'm glad they get the recognition they deserve now :)
Dude how did Belgium qualify with that performance 😭? He was literally so stiff the entire performance, I don't even believe the jury would overrate something like this genre
I hope it gets vote bombed in the final and comes last behind germany
The Song was good, when you see the video (Studio Version), but he´s live performance was ridiculous. I´m from belgium ;)
You have to get out the way some up tempo songs to leave the way clear to Ukraine to shine.
Love from Serbia❤️🇷🇸
Rachel! I have just seen you on the first RAI channel news ( like the news on BBC one) ! There was a service about the ESC and the social networks...
No way!!! Have you got a link to that?
-5.24 to the end
I really wished for Georgia (Circus Mircus) to win a slot in the finals till the last moment. They were my favourites tonight and my 3rd in this year's competition.
So glad the Czech republic made it through. Wasnt too high on Belgium.
Have you already seen the new version of Sam Ryders performance, especially the finish? I think it's really impressive and perfect for the eurovision stage!
I am no fan of the UK song, but, can you explain to me why has he obscured himself in a sort of cage? Surely that will only create distance and a lack of connection with viewers?
@@alipanroosendaal9503 as a crazy fan of UK song let me say there's no threat of distance or lack of connection when we speak of Sam and his performances. He has unbelievable magnifying power. I guess the cage is needed to hinder panties and underwear thrown from the audience🤣 females are going insane over this guy.
@@alipanroosendaal9503 Maybe it is meant as a contrast to the moment when the cage opens?
@@jeanmarco40 That could well be the "high" concept. However, I cannot help but suspect that Sam (bless him) is simply playing out his sci-fi fantasies on the altar of the UK's ESC aspirations.
Way to go EBU - giving me major stress at the end with Serbia there. Like you, Rachel, I would have been VERY annoyed if they'd not made it. I was expecting the host to say "San Marino" at that point. Anyway, after I'd seen all the songs, I only had my five dead certs going through, and was struggling with the other five. But in the end, I chose:
Finland - dead cert, despite the hit-and-miss vocals
Australia - the best vocal performance of ALL the semi-final songs in my opinion. It was always going through
Poland - another easy decision
Sweden - ditto
Serbia - I threw both hands in the air shouted, "YES!" very loudly when they were announced. My wife ditched her in favour of Israel, would you believe it?! Meghan Markle will be pleased
Azerbaijan - slow start, but it built well, and I've always been a fan of this. Nice work, and that voice is raspier than ever
Estonia - an early favourite of mine, and I'm glad he didn't just stand still. Jumping the river was a risky move, but he chose a narrow spot. I think that might have won a few people over
Czech Republic - I LOVED their light show, and the singer is amazing. Her energy, movement, and the looks she gives the camera are perfect. Left-hand side of the scoreboard tomorrow?
Romania - I wasn't sure before tonight, but just like Moldova he brought it when it mattered, and that's what swung me
San Marino - my only failure. Having seen Cyprus and Ireland disappoint I had this down as the one sneaking through into tenth place, but the boring Belgium got it instead
Of the others:
Belgium - I could easily have picked this if San Marino hadn't pulled out all the stops. I don't like it, never will, and nothing will change my mind
Georgia - despite being a quirky song, the performance was very flat. They all just stood there - whatever.
Malta - I haven't heard one live version of this where Emma sings perfectly in tune throughout. Also, the song is boring. Sorry
Ireland - I think Brooke knew she wasn't going to qualify, so just had a good time. Again, not stand-out enough, despite its upbeat nature
Israel - I did consider putting this through at one point, but Romania was the country I chose instead. I think his vocals just annoy the hell out me (like last year's whistle note effort)
Montenegro - very weak vocals when singing in the lower registers, and she didn't move once. Uninspiring, to be honest
North Macedonia - in the running for last-placed song this year, which is a shame. But it was never going to stand out against any of the qualifiers, except maybe Belgium
Cyprus - oh dear. Weak, pitchy vocals that needed more volume. You're right about the staging - very bland (same as the song). Pastel shades that didn't "pop" 🙂
So I got another nine out of ten, giving me 18 out of 20 overall for the semis. I'm quite pleased with that. Now all I have to do is predict the entire finishing order for the final, LOL!
Well done for the 9/10
Michael Ben David really behaved so badly yesterday - I’m actually glad he NQ’d
@@ThePeaceAround When you say, "behaved so badly", what exactly are you referring to? I may have missed something here ...
@@neilonaniet I’m not sure if you saw when he gatecrashed the presenters segment and started shouting ‘vote I.M’ and like miming along to the presenters cue notes. It was so childish and stupid honestly.
@@ThePeaceAround I must have been having a pee and putting the kettle on when that bit happened. I just watched it back, and he is somewhat over top top, isn't he? I'm surprised he wasn't politely escorted away. Oh well, it didn't work out in the end, which serves him right I suppose.
So sad, that Cyprus did not make it to the final. I must admit though, her live vocals were a bit weak and shaky tonight, after her performance I got very nervous. I am very happy that Romania and Belgium made it, because they were both favourite entries from mine from early on. I was a bit surprised about Azerbaijan and Australia, I think only the high jury vote pushed these two to the top
Thanks dad
Since we know now who will be in first half of the final and who in the second half, who do you think will producers put for the opener of the show and who will be the closer? I could see Czech Republic opening the finals and UK closing it. I could also see Switzerland being put into 2nd slot (death slot), followed by Romania.
Konstrakta is nice 🇷🇸
Was shocked that Cyprus didn’t go though. This also leaves the gaping question as to whom Greece is going to give their 12 points to now.
9/10. We’ll done. You did better than me.
I predicted 6/10. Going more with my heart than my head.
Finland
Azerbaijan
Georgia
Malta
Cyprus
Australia
Poland
Sweden
Montenegro
Estonia
I like Belgium’s song, but I felt like the live performance wasn’t impressive at all. I would really love to see San Marino qualify and I almost believed they could, now I’m curious if the public vote ranked them high or not. I also love Georgia but I already knew they probably weren’t qualifying
In the second semifinal their was only one suprise that were ranked outside the top ten by the bookies. It was Cyprus that missed out but I must say sadly as her voice sounded live I saw it as imposible for her to go through. Romania was ranked just outside the top 10. 2.75 in the odds. It followed the same patterns as in semifinal 1. In semifinal 1 their wasn´t many chocks in the semifinal as you said. if you think about what the bookies said and the bookies mostly get it right. There was only two entrys that weren´t favourite to go thorugh that did and they were ranked just outside the 10 favourites to go through and no one had over 3 in the odds-. The only odds "chock" were that Albania did not go trough but not a big suprise for the ones following the odds. The odds had risen kind of much during the week so the odds did open for that they could be the one of the favourites that missed out.
I can't get over San Marino not qualifying.
I'm so happy for Belgium, it may need some staging work and he needs to loosen up a bit but it's one of my favorite songs this year so I am really excited that he's getting a chance to clean it up and nail it for the final. That said many of my favorites in this group were not favored and didn't get through so I might have more eclectic taste.
My father has an Irish family and Brooke's live vocals and staging was fantastic for an Irish song. Hence, we came to the conclusion that Brooke deserved to qualify. But we sadly didn't get her in. My mother took one look at Romania's song and said 'No.' Whereas Ireland gave off good vibes to them. Both of my parents REALLY liked the staging of Cyprus's song but HATED the live vocals. My dad commented on at IMMEDIATELY in the first 20 seconds, which shocked me because i've seen Cyprus's vocals in previous rehearsals. Still shocked Ireland didn't go through. If they don't go through based on that performance, they can never qualify ever again.
Now can't wait till sunday!
Watch out! I think you gonna miss the show!
It's on Saturday! 😀
@@1fortythree no on my place it's sunday 6am
@@jesuism6386 Got it!
I really love Belgium's song so I'm happy they qualified but I will agree that Jeremie was not the best as he could be live, especially when the song relies so much on vocals. But crossing my fingers it will be better at the final. I'm a bit sad for Ireland, it definitely deserved it a bit more than some other qualifiers, and I would have loved to Cyprus, Israel, and Montenegro in the final as well, but overall not as *shocking* as SF1
You look a lot like Amanda.Your hair,your face...You’re both so so beautiful💗💗😊
