- My goodness, what a nerve wracking qualification announcement.
Poland making it over Georgia. Travesty.
Let me know your thoughts.
#eurovision2023 #semifinal2 #qualifiers - Zábava
It's a real shame about Iceland and Georgia not going through will be talked about for some time yet...
Georgia deserved so much. Iceland is my personal top grower. Will listen that song after esc for sure. Love from Serbia
@@colinafobe2152 georgia is my fav
@@lukaajlovanovich1606 steta sto se nije kvalifikovala. zasluzila je stvarno
Yes, it's terrible, what else could Georgia do to finally advance to the final? Devastating.
@@in_wino_veritas It should study from Blanka's (Poland) phenomenal vocals and performance and send similar entry next year, because that is clearly what people want to see 😂
You had the exact same reaction as me when they left Joker Out last, I too was chanting ''Slovenia'' at the TV. Almost gave me a heart attack lol
I had the heart attack on Tuesday with Norway, but here I was just filled with sadness bcos I knew Slovenia would be announced and Georgia would nq, so no heart attacks, rather just depression 😭😭😭
So happy for Albania and Lithuania, but Georgia not qualifying despite quality breaks my heart 💔
im heartbroken
I think its because of the lyrics
@@flawlessflopper I agree, the lyrics are quite bad. If you're going to sing in English then at least make sure to use proper (enough) grammar and such...
Despite the bad English there is no way it deserved to be out over Poland.
Losing Iru hurts on this one, especially when Poland got through. If anyone deserved to break Georgia's NQ streak, it was Iru :(
Yeah, definitely. It was a step in the right direction from Georgia, and a nq is what they got. It's devastating...
@@xander2609 As we can see, it was clearly not the right direction for Georgia, look at Poland, that is what people want to see. Next year every country should send the most naked girl with the most beautiful body they can find and I think that is enough for qualification 😂.
Looks like people prefer something uplifting (Poland) rather than another ballad with big vocals.
@@Up-rp1ky People that don't know the backstory, will see Poland as uplifting.
But whenever I see Blanka, it feels like some stomachjuice went up my throat.
I'm so happy for Armenia and Albania but devastated for Georgia
I’m so conflicted cause I’m so happy for Estonia I’m so angry about Poland and Georgia. Atleast I predicted 9/10 but I never would’ve predicted Georgia to non qualify
I was so sure Georgia would qualify. Definitely the biggest shock and upset of the semifinals
she was borderline for me but not to NQ because of Poland
@@fannishfanning160 It was too experimental and for me it seemed like three minutes of shouting. Poland was fun and Summery.
Couldn't agree more i got really angry cuz georgia sang so well and blankas audio track/backing were LOUDER than her. My mood went from so happy cuz Estonia went trough to really mad/sad
Yes, I feel so sad for Georgia, jeez, I've never been one of those people who said, that Poland should have sent Gladiator instead, up until now. Especially if it turns out, that Poland finished 10th and 11th was Georgia, just a point away from reaching the final. On the other hand, the Polish diaspora probably still would have put Gladiator ahead of Echo, even if he would have struggled vocally.
I'm happy overall (especially about Cyprus, Estonia, Lithuania and Slovenia). But, as many people, I feel devastated for Georgia's nq and Poland qualifying... This is a good example of why we need juries in the semi-finals.
I'm also sad for Iceland, but in this I had predicted it would be a nq...
P.S: Belgium has grown a lot on me with Gustaph's performance!
When I heard Polands through at the expense of TALENTED people I though I was gonna throw my tv out the window. If she doesnt end up 26th in the final then I'll eat my hat
Better get some seasoning for that hat of yours by Saturday then 😂
Oh I hope she wins this year's competition! There are few reasons for this, I think Poland send her specifically to not win the contest, like one of that troll songs, and second reason - my only favourite song was Latvia, and after the nq I want this contest to burn in flames like it deserves 😂 So yeah, go bejba, show em nothing and win the contest cause ic kaina krejzah
The itritating thing is - she won’t. The question is … who IS getting last place this year? 🤷♂️
Cry
@@neilonaniet Poland is only who truly deserves last place in this years competition.
Georgia not qualifying is the worst NQ I can remember ever. That was just horrible. Now I struggle to build up any excitement for the grand final at all...:(
It's shocking, even though they came 12th, they should have qualified with that vocal.
I am really kind of a shock for Georgia not qualified, but Estonia takes the cake as the shock qualifier for this semi. And so I got 9/10 on my predictions list. Very happy for two Baltics, Belgium, and so as Albania and Australia, too!
Estonia should win, so it’s not a shock at all
@@blarbkanopcious4243 No she was schock
@@bhacomic581 She had been humble, as they all should, and she was excited.
Why was that a shock? She has one of the best voices of this year's competitors? I would have been disgusted if she wasn't going through...
Thank god Alika slipped through and heartbroken for Georgia, poor Iru cried her eyes out after the results, so sad for her 💔 Voted for both ✌🏻
Girl, half of Slovenia had a heart attack. It was awful waiting to hear our name - they ALWAYS call us last. But at least the organisers got an amazing reaction from the band when they got through, so that makes for good tv, i guess :)
100% had the feeling they'll announce Slovenia last!
I got 9/10. Missed Estonia because I thought the Greek votes were going to come in.
Super surprised by Albania, they improved so much!
The Albanian song, is very good; motives taken from Highland Albania folk ballads. The song probably will last for a long time within Albanian communities, for the message (love it!) something like, love, protect your family, no hate, no wars... a great message; I love the song, it is a special song for Albanians, but I feared it will not gain attraction outside Albanian nationals.
Got 9 out of 10 didnt want to believe Poland would do it, didn't think Georgia wouldn't make it. So annoyed that they announced Slovenia last - didn't do my nerves any favours. So angry Poland got through. So sad for Georgia - them and Latvia can't catch a break can they?
I am still shocked, omg Georgia, disturbance in the Force
I only missed Estonia over Georgia..
I am so sad Georgia was eliminated. But happy for Slovenia and Albania!!
same georgia is my personal fav
I was watching from my bed (it was 7am here in Australia when qualifiers were announced), and I was literally eating my doona during the announcement. 😅
I was in the arena and I also was rooting and yelling for Slovenia. So happy for them!!
I knew and I said Estonia will qualify, but in no way I would have imagined Georgia not qualifying. Georgia was my favourite this night :(
So sad for Georgia. Österdahl really said this is why we can't have nice things when he got rid of the juries didn't he. 😢
It would’ve probably qualified with juries but the fact that it couldn’t hold up against the underdogs (Estonia, Cyprus, Poland) is a very concerning sign. I think it’s fair that it NQd.
SUCH A TRAVESTY IRUUUUU😭😭 Georgia 🇬🇪 DESERVED to qualify!!
Massively happy for Albania and Estonia ❤ ...and Australia was just flawlessly epic. Sad for Iru, though. Love the song, and she really gave it her all, but the staging was just way too static. That's simply not enough for a semi with no juries. As much as I'm not a massive fan of Solo (to put it mildly), Poland did understand the assignment better and wrung everything out of it, even if probably half of Blanka's vocals weren't live. Anyway...enjoy the Grand Final everyone!
I know this is only a song contest, not vital for the world by any means, but Poland qualifying makes me loose hope. I don't like see undeserving people succeeding while more deserving people fail. Blanka has no business being on a stage
What a shame. Without the drama she wouldn't be qualified.
I agree with you100%.
Better Georgia and Romania than Poland and Austria.
I really hoped Diljá would qualify she put so much effort into her performance.
She is a great artist but the song was too weak imo
Whenever she sings I miss Systur.
I'm so sad for Iru. I always love Georgian entry, they are so original. Last year's one of my favourite
Albania's not even in my top 10 but I had the same reaction when they qualified. I'm very happy they proved the naysayers wrong and improved from the national final a lot (also it's a good year to be Sacha Jean Baptiste)
I was feeling all kinds of ways during Slovenia if you're picking up what i'm putting down
😜
I really, really tried to do a reverse psychology and be convinced that Poland was qualifying so I could end up happily wrong but NOPE. I feel so sorry for Iru, she's such a sweet and talented young lady and I hope she comes back in the future.
such a travesty. Poland to qualify over Georgia and Iceland. disaster. Very pleased for Albina and her family. True Balkan vibe. will vote for them. Hugs from Serbia
haha .. the same reaction on SLOVENIA TOO. 😂
That was nerve-racking. I started to really hate ESC at that point, before they called them out. :D
I missed Poland and albania over Georgia and iceland. Georgia had such a fantastic voice. Really unexpected for me. But well deserved for albania
Super gutted about Iceland, she was one of me and my girlfriend's favs. Dilja's been soo underrated this entire season :(
One of the best vocals of the whole semi final
Thank you for everyone that voted and supported Albania and thank you Rachel for supporting us. I’m so very happy and happy for Slovenia and Cyprus. So Balkan went through besides Romania. Congratulations to all countries that qualified and to NQ. They all try the best. Rachel you predictions came true. Sending you hugs and love ❤️ 🇦🇱
georgia was an absolute shock. despite the performance having a couple issues, i thought the song would carry it through (especially when they carried all the songs that suffered SF1's technical issues). once they announced poland and I saw the numer of slots left I knew one of my lock qualifiers was out.
VERY happy for Albania, they were my second favourite of the night and I've also been saying it's gonna qualify.
Was it announced that there were technical issues in SF1? I can't find any info.
I thought there were technical issues with sound or mics untill I heard Latvia and Portugal performance. And then I understood that there are no issues, just the artists and their abilities to sing live.
@@serhiypyshchyta638 It wasn't announced but there was clearly issues. Many performers were off key when they aren't usually, and with others the vocals sounded like they didnt blend well with the track. Latvia and Portugal were one of the only two who weren't really affected by it, maybe Sweden. I believe Finland talked about having monitoring issues, and he apparently improved a lot in the jury show yesterday now that they've been fixed.
This time I had 9/10 - overall 19/20. Just Georgia shocked me pretty hard. I still can't believe it. I was so sure that Iru will qualify, that I bought a Georgian flag for my Saturday party. And guess what, I'm the one watching Eurovision for 20 years, and I'm the only one who picked a country that will actually not be in a final...I'm devastated. Some of my friends will watch Eurovision for the very first time, and they have chosen a country that qualified. Well, waiting for Saturday and some jokes about me and my knowledge or music taste 😟But...seeing Poland going through over Georgia is just...sad 💔If someone liked Windows Movie Maker more than a strong, solid voice, then I'm speechless.
seeing Poland over anything is sad in my opinion. But I get that folks love bops.
I'm happy for Poland - one of the most interesting performances of this semi-final - Go Bejba❤🔥
Im so sad about georgia not qualifying, i think she was my personal best of the night, along with australia and armenia! im so shocked! maybe if she had backing dancers and more dancers hyping her up shed done better. im so pissed also for blanca, i hate her qualifying over and being picked over georgia and jann in general!
These videos are my favorites every year! Well, I have only seen them now and last year, but still, your reactions are great. :)
Australia were my faves of this semi final. Hope they get at least a top 10 finish Saturday but the final is a whole different beast and I think they might struggle, even though they deserve a top 10 finish in my opinion.
I knew Blanka would make it but it still pissed me off when they announced Poland. Especially at Georgia's expense, I'm gutted for Iru 💔
The reaction on Poland was priceless😂
so wanted Georgia to qualify not gonna be childish and say any qualifying country didn't deserve to go through but still so bitter Georgia didn't go through
Yes I'm bitter for them as well, 2016, seven years ago, was the last time they qualified, that's devastating.
love your reaction to poland because same!
and announcing slovenia last was awful, i was sure they were going trough too but i got so scared and literally cried oh im so glad even tho i’m sad for georgia
Your reaction is awesome! Feel so sad for Georgia and happy for Australia and Slovenia. And I also got 9 out of 10
The 10 countries announced were the names I would have gone with. I was happily surprised that Albania got through and I was nervous that Slovenia didn’t get through but that was a relief. I was impressed by Australia the most, they had very good vocals and a great performance.
Hi Rachel!
Like you I'm really happy for Armenia and Slovenia. 🎉
Glad that Lithuania (Monika ❤ ), Austria and Australia qualified too: really impressed with the latter.
I expected Georgia to qualify in place of Albania or Poland.
I am so frustrated that Poland got through with all that has been said about the polish national final and the unfairness towards Jann. His song Gladiator was a much better song, and believe me, I would have supported it.
Georgia and Iceland were great. I guessed six out of the ten qualifiers and I guessed that my country (Greece) will not qualify. Very happy particularly for Albania, Austria, Australia and Estonia...
Yeah, I'm sad for Georgia. Not sure about Gladiator, it probably still would have qualified over Georgia, I see diaspora in both, participating countries and the global voting coming out for it, unless his vocals would have been painfully awful. And Georgia would still be out.
All journalists and bukmachers was 100% sure that Poland will qualify so i don't why you all shocked?
@@in_wino_veritas 😂😂
Slovenia announced for last was very hard on my sanity, almost went crazy 😂
Haha your reaction to Slovenia at the end there was the exact same as mine!! I was soooo worried for a second i jumped up when they were announced
So sad for Georgia but overall really happy with the result and glad we get to see blanka again lmao I thought Belgium was a nq so happily surprised about that too
Your reaction to Slovenia being announced last was exactly the same as mine!! I thought i was gonna have a heart attack!! 😂
Was so glad Albania made it! Loved that song since the first time I heard it!
And yes, Poland over Georgia is very unfair!!
So cute to see you so enthusiastic 🎉😂
Omg I adore your reactions ! Reminds me a bit of myself :-)
Wow, 10/10 for me, so surprised. It was a hard one to pick prior.
I did comment in your prediction video, Rachel I thought Georgia may be affected by the Latvia effect ... the staging for both maybe didn't come across the TV as other acts.
So so happy Australia and Belgium went through. They were my favourite of s2.
Qualifiers were all pretty great. One of them I could do without in the GF but the rest brilliant. Congratulations to all. It's going to be a banger of a GF.
8/10 of my favorite entries went to the final and 9/10 of my predictions went in so same as you Rachel😊
I thought Albania gave the best performance of the semi, and I wasn't even a fan of their song before. I am now, though. Albania and Australia were the 2 performances I most wanted to watch again.
Rachel, I really enjoy your your channel. Keep on the good work! I also missed Georgia. What an exciting Saturday we have coming up. BBC gets 12 points for their production. Best final so far was SVT 2016. Let ’s see if BBC will beat that. 🇸🇪
I'm Polish, and all I can say to Georgia and Iceland is I'm so fucking sorry. Cause we all know we went through on the back of getting 60-70% of our points from just the UK-Lithuania-Ukraine diaspora triangle. And that's not right.
Rachel is always so cute ..well done!😂
i am sad only for Georgia!😭 ...Poland!🤬🤮
very happy for slovenia, disappointed about bejba making it
What I am really mad about is latvia not qualifying, the song was great and performance was also amazing I dont understand why they didn't qualify.
Georgia and Iceland, the biggest heartbreaks of the evening :(
Last night I was crossed my fingers for Slovenia😂 I was reaction like you when they're qualify😁🤩 (Love from Azerbaijan🇦🇿❣)
haha, yup, that was my reaction on Poland too. :D
She stole Iru's place.
Im polish and Im so upset Blanka stole the chances AGAIN from others obviously better and more talented than her 😂 😢
I'm really sad for Georgia not qualifying, maybe they would have qualified, if Poland sent Gladiator, but I highly doubt it, even if his vocals weren't great, this is the power of the diaspora. Actually it's the same with Albania.
Yeah, she grew way to popular but on the other hand she really did improve from her national selection
You're really honest, my friend!
I would have switched Poland and Austria with Georgia and Romania.
I would have done the same, this year, hypothetically, switching Italy with Georgia or Romania.
❤🙏
Jann by sie zesral a nie dostal do finalu XD
@@hamiprostak6313 byłam za Alicją najbardziej
I was literally shaking for slovenia (my country). I am so proud of the boys but god damn the way they were announced last gave me an actual heart attack
There a video of Iru crying in the green room after the qualifiers got announced its so sad. 😢
Georgia really needed dancers or something else. She looked so alone and static on stage. I'm gutted for her. Very happy for Albania it was wonderful.
I believe it's the matter of camera works. Other than that, she's great performer.
I was so happy for Albania too, in my Top5 from the beginning.
Heart broken for Georgia. I was really hoping for her because its brilliant. But as soon as that absolute car crash was announced I knew one of Armenia, Slovenia or Gerogia was missing out for bloody Blanka
I liked your scream and jump when they said Slovenia, 😃because they really deserved the final👍🇸🇮❤
Like SF1, I predicted 9 out of 10 correctly, with the outlier unfortunately being Poland instead of Georgia. Bring back the juries!
I missed Estonia for Georgia too. So sad for Iru, she looked despondent as the numbers narrowed. Dilja I felt was going to fall asleep, I think she was resigned to NQ.
Great reactions! 😂
I'm devastated about Georgia, I really thought they were coming top 10 in the final and that's exactly why I want the Juries back in the semifinals. Still got 8 out of 10, just didn't got Poland and Belgium right. I feel bad about not prediction Belgium though, he was great
girl same reaction. we lost Iru and because of what? because of a meme.
i hate this.
9 out of 10. Great job. You are also good live.
Off topic, but where is your dress from? It's so pretty.
I picked 9 out of 10. I didn't pick Albania. Was so so pleased Estonia got through. Like you I thought she might get squeezed out. I picked her to get through though.
Really fun video. It was like watching me watching it. Except without the mini-whiteboards. And without somebody filming me
I'm devastated for Iceland
So happy for Poland! 3rd place in semi
Would love to see a video with your's and your Dad's top 26 for the grand final.
I absolutely love how serious you get, just like me 😂
Im sad about iceland and georgia (especially becuase of their non-qualifying streak), had rather either of them over poland.
Its sad for Georgia but i have to say the staging didnt really work for me. Didnt really need Cyprus in the final.. in general i think the way delegations managed the sound tech/staging player a massive role, because there were huge differences in quality. Estonias staging was really bad imo
I SAID there was gonna be a major shock tonight, and the victim was Georgia. Much as I admittedly didn't care much for the song, I still feel awful for them, it's been 7 years. Condolences to them, hope they keep trying. And Poland eeked it out after all... KREJSA.
6:04 that's pretty much what I was saying at that point, although I let out a rare f-bomb. Oops. I voted once each for them, plus a bonus Australia for my mum. I was so nervous for a second there.
All that means I get 9/10 again too. SOMEDAY I'll get the full house, but given how the semi split was this year, I'll take the double 9/10. Also, good on Dad for the 7/10, that's actually a very good result for how open this was.
i think Georgia had so much hate from Europe, shoudnot take part in this joke competition any more.
What is the reason for the hate to Georgia? I love Georgia, sending love from Ukraine❤ And yeah, what a joke, people are voting for pretty face and naked body instead of the talent.
Do you also like Slovenia? It’s my number 2 on my ”countries that MUST win ASAP” list, right after Iceland. We share same values when grading songs and seem to have a similar taste in music so I just agree with you on almost everything. Go Finland obviously but my favorite of the year is Australia.
good emosions :) i am from Estonia and happy. Alika is so good singer,
WOW great call on Albania.
Armenia and Slovenia are my no.2 and 3 respectively. I can't believe they announced them last. I nearly had a heart attack 😭
Poland qualifying and not Georgia!? What an absolute disgrace.
because people voted for the meme not because of blanka's actual talent
@@fannishfanning160 If that is true, that is outrageous.
Bravo Albania. You did great 9/10 is an excellent guess.
Hahaha not the burst bloodvessel 😭❤️ lmaooo
I think estonia is gonna be one of the top contenders for winning, especially considering this is pure televote, and the song's vibes are jury-heavy iykyk
Also am i the only one who was sure poland was qualifying, like, i really think she deserves to qualify, it stood out and her vocals sounded great and much more better than NF. I was pretty sure Georgia and Albania were gonna be borderline, and I had Greece as a sure cause it's my fav song of this year, heartbroken but I did see it coming
I don't know if Poland would have qualified if she hadn't become a meme in the fandom. In saying that, her vocals were a lot better than in the NF. Iru not qualifying was so heartbreaking. That would be my only switch in SF2. I was surprised in a very positive way by Belgium. Wasn't my favourite song but BOY were they good last night! All of my favourites are in the final, so I am a happy bunny. My top song order has changed with the exception of Australia who are still my #1.
Everyone saying the Juries would have got Georgia into the finals but I honestly don’t think they would have. I think the juries would have seen past the good vocal and realised the song really isn’t about anything
yeah many juries could question the lyrics and that's said juries never really voted for Georgia even when they had good vocalists, so the biggest fault is on those who are responsible for the staging ruining Iru's chances
Slowenia! I love it “ girls got pregnant from that performance” 😂😂 I love that reaction! But I was feeling the same, I just thought they must haved got the most votes, and they wanted to keep the tension till the end. Suffering there, Slovenia is in my top 5 ( it was Latvia as well, and look where it got us😢) so I was not really sure and I explode as well with so much happiness for them!
Even though it was not possible this year to bribe the jury, I feel liek Poland did something again, I mean how was this possible? EDIT : Poland got 124 points in that semi-final, what is wrong with people???
I also got 9/10 - in both Semis
In Semi 2 I had Georgia as well as a qualifier but Poland as an NQ but I thought about 12 place for Blanka bc I had Iceland on the fence to Cyprus
I'm so happy for Slovenia LPS are avenged!
I think It was well deserved for Estonia.
But sad side is I would largely prefer Iceland or Georgia or anyone else more than miss p.
I will never understand how Poland qualified. Such a joke
Perhaps she qualified the same way as she qualified in the beginning.
@@Widdekuu91 FIXED LOL
