William is absolutely right that the vibe with Käärijä is amazing and Finland has been so downplayed in previous years it really has crushed our mindsets. Please don't you others think that Finland is so hyped and doing well that you overlook the support we do need. This is the first time ever in our Eurovision history (and it's a LONG ONE basically from the very beginning) that a finnish song has been appreciated and liked throughout the world. In history the finnish language has been frowned upon and it hasn't been seen as engaging because people didn't find it familiar. So again please don't faal into the trap of thinking this is so last season and Finland of course will succeed. It's very, very rare that we have a chance and I really hope for all of the support others can give for our performer and song. Finns are a very quiet and reserved country but Käärijä's song has made people more open and we're joining together having fun and enjoying the ride 😊.
Very well said! ❤ Though I think Lordi was quite widely appreciated as well, since they won ;D And there are so many overlooked pearls in Finnish Eurovision history (those who don't know need to check it out), that it's incredible, so lack of wide appreciation doesn't always mean bad quality songs! :)
1. Finland
2. Sweden
3. Czechia
4. Israel
5. Serbia
6. Moldova
7. Norway
8. Switzerland
9. Portugal
10. Latvia
These are the countries that I want to go through to the final.
My top 3 is:
1 Sweden
2 Latvia
3 Serbia/The Netherlands, I can't decide lol
Ahahahahah nice top 3, thanks from Serbia😂❤
Latvia needs all the love and support we can give. The favourites will go through anyway.
Well not "anyway", *everyone* needs people's votes to go through, as there's no jury!! ;)
@@florenna I get your point. But there are people who are not Aijā fans, probably there's many of them and they will easily make the favourites through. Latvia has a small, but very devoted fandom.
@@florenna see?
My top 3 is easily Sweden, Serbia and Israel. I also want Finland, Norway, Malta, Latvia, Croatia, Netherlands and Moldova to qualify
THANKS FROM SERBIA❤
Czechia-Portugal-Moldova
While I understand Finland will likely win this semi, I don't think as highly of the song. My top 3: 3 - Moldova, 2 - Serbia, 1 - Czechia
1. Croatia
2. Italy
3. Serbia
Croatia are you serious?
@@nzkid2599 so what dude
@@nzkid2599 yes.
@@nzkid2599Why not? Easy to remember the words and to sing the song! Besides that, there is a strong antiwar message spread with full of love.
I AM SO HAPPY TO HEAR ALL OF THIS VESNA LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Izrael , Czech Republik and Switzerland !!
Luke ❤🦞♥️
❤
1. Serbia, 2. Finlandia, 3. Spagna.
So much love for Latvia here…I can understand considering they’ll need all the support they can get
💚💚💚and 🦞🦞🦞❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤘🤘🤘
Portugal is so much better and nobody speak or choose everybody afraid to choose mimicat? For me Portugal top 3
Mimicat is underrated, she has the complete package.......she has my vote.
1 Israël
2 norway
3 sweden
1) Finland 2) Israel 3) Norway
Cool tops... agree 100% with Finland, I expect Käärijä and his fabulous dancers to win...🤩
But 2nd Portugal (I just love Mimicat and her fabulous dancers too) 😍
..and.. but hey... Spain, France, Armenia, Austria, Israel, Moldova, Sweden, Germany, Serbia, Italy, Czechia, Norway, Croatia, Slovenia, Latvia, Malta, UK and most recently Greece (what a major sexy wonder kid) are all wonderfully great to complete for top 3, this is surely my top 20 anyway (Cyprus, Belgium and Estonia comming very close! :))
I love you William 🫶 My heart sings to you from Finland. I was there in the UMK, saw you live. You were so great! Käärijä or Jere is such a lovely sweet guy with an amazing charisma and the song totally clicks. I hope this is his year and the next competition will be held in Finland💚
1. Finland
2. Latvia
3. Moldova
I think we all agree that Finland, Sweden and Israel will be the Top 3 of the first Semi🔥
Finland, Norway and Malta❤
Judging from the clips: 1. Czechia, 2. Sweden, 3. Israel. Czechia looks really great! Finland and Latvia were also great imo.
🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹 good luck to all the countries
I am so excited that today we can see all the semifinal 1 perfomances 😍 Eurovision week is finally here!
Finland is fireeeeeeeeee this year
I’ve been back to William’s and Deban’s first reaction for Cha Cha Cha music video few times and it’s so much fun to watch 😄💚 (butterfly poo crazy is now in my vocabulary, thank you for that!)
My top 3 :
- Sweden (Winner of this year)
- Israel (A top 5 contender)
- Czechia (Love the song)
Ths Disconnection of all 4 from reality lol its amazing 😂🤣 thank god the press doesnt matter, TOP3 is Israel, Sweden and Finland, thank you, bye.
Greetings to all the amazing performers from Croatia! Good luck Let 3 !We love you !🙂💗💙💛💙💗

2. Moldova
3. Sweden
4. Norway
5. Latvia
6. Finland
7. Portugal
8. Israel
9. Switzerland
10. Serbia
1-Israel

U! Knee! Corn!
Finland and Netherlands for me ❤️
1. Czechia 2. Finland 3. Sweden
And from Poland I will also vote for Czechia and I hope our neighbours from Ukraine will also give them 12 points instead of giving the first płace to Blanka because of Polish help to Ukrainian refugees etc.
Surprise nobody has Israel in top3
Thank you for your support for Finland :) 💚 (Just a pity UK can't vote in this semi, I think?) The strangely fluctuating odds after the dress rehearsals have got me slightly worried, but hope they'll improve after tonight's show! Rooting (most) for Serbia, and also for Moldova, along with our own entry.
Semi Final 1 Top 3 : 1. Israel
2. Finland
3. Sweden
Have everybody forgotten about Norway now? I am surprised!
Some choices were made
so glad to see Czechia in your TOPs, I was really scared how they will do after all the shade during the preparties...now I'm even more excited about tomorrow.
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Latvia and Czech Republic are my faves
1) Sweden 2) Moldova 3) Portugal
1. Czechia 2. Sweden 3. Moldova
Can't believe no one mentioned Israel after seeing the 30sec snippet last week I can't stop thinking of it as the best performance in long time.
Certainly the best dance break. Haven’t heard any vocals yet.
@@nicki6412 The second dress rehearsal had crowd and they said she was great, and the videos look great. And she’s third in the press poll, and even the first rehearsal before the dress rehearsals showed her vocals
@toot toot that's good to know. Haven't seen on ESC channels yet. Anyway the Wiwi jury didn't reject her, they just didn't place her in their top three. For me even if the performance is great, it's too uneven a song for me to enjoy.
Sweden, Finland, Norway. But I must say that Israel's performance is also amazing, that dance, sheesh!
1-Israel
2- Finland
3-Sweden
My top 3 are Finland Moldova and Latvia
After the Monday night show (which was incredible!) my top 10 for SF1 are
1. Sweden
2. Czechia
3. Finland (would be higher but Käärijä slipped getting off the box)
4. Israel (way better live than the studio I didn't really like, definitely challenging for top 3 in this semi)
5. Norway
6. Serbia
7. Portugal
8. Switzerland
9. Croatia
10. Malta/Moldova (Moldova coming after Israel was flat in the arena)
Netherlands I love but the audience reaction was so flat :( Latvia was also a bit forgotten about.
France, Italy and Germany were all great too, especially France and Italy.
Just because Käärijä slightly slipped in a rehearsal, you put him lower? 😂In such a crazy party song, minor slipping doesn't ruin anything ;)
Everyone who can, please vote for Latvia!! They need it the most 🗳️
I think the Netherlands personally needs more votes according to everyones comments and criticism but okay…
💚🖤💞💞
👍👍👍
We need Latvia in the final
I'm gonna give all my votes to finland this semi, i neeeeeed Käärjiä to win everything🥺💚🖤
Sweden portugal and finland
Gotta love Katie! Stickung to her guts. I also like Moldova most. Thank god, I can vote in this Semi. Love from Germany
Czechia was my fave in the room. So intense.

Maybe you are right and Finland will win this semifinal, but somehow, especially after the last rehearsal, I still believe that it could be enough for Sweden in the final. I am very curious.

But Austria is not in this Semifinal ;) And this was about Semi-Final 1 Top 3.
