Sennek was mediocre since the pre-parties. Not shocked Switzerland was robbed. One of the better performances of the night. Greece was robbed too. The song was great live. Ireland wtf !?!? Macedonia was better than I expected. Lithuania I was expecting that because Im sure juries did that. I will switch Switzerland or Greece for Ireland

{Spoiler}I wanted Iceland and Armenia to qualify. And some of the ones that did, are bad. But this always happens in Eurovision :(
It was a nice show, I liked the hosts, and all those clips and funny capsules were really good.

{Spoiler}Out of the qualifying entries I'd drop Lithuania, Albania and Ireland, and I'd replace them with Belgium, Armenia and Switzerland.
I liked Macedonia enough to want them through, but they dropped the ball.

Three Albanians qualifying (Albania, Italy and Cyprus), nice!
I thought Ireland's was beautiful, having not seen any of the entries prior.

Albania and Ireland are ths surprises. I mean, okay the LGBT community really supported "Together" but the gays usually go for the divas like Eleni Foureira or Aisel.

I haven't seen anything of the Brazilian singer that's representing Latvia (apart from listening the song), but after watching this interview i'm really liking her! Very charismatic! I hope she does well today... :)

I wanna see Laura go through, 'Funny Girl' is a nice song.
The only songs I really care about this semi are Latvia, Denmark and (obviously) Australia. I need Alexander Rybak to not qualify with that utter trainwreck though.

Post by The Brazilian Guy 🇧🇷 on May 10, 2018 14:13:32 GMT -5
Who the hell thought it was a good idea to bring Rybak back to Eurovision??? The worst part of it is that he'll probably qualify without much difficulty...

Urgh I can't... there is something incredibly tragic that somebody wrote a song about... someone who doesn't have the first f**king clue how to actually write a song. Julia sucked as much as I thought she would #PlzDon'tQualify

...I didn't realize Moldova's song was about a love triangle. It's virtually a 2018 version of 'So In Love With Two' by Mikaila.

The guy from The Netherlands was so much better than anything else before him... I hope he qualifies!

I mean... Dami set the bar incredibly high so Jess had a slim chance of measuring up at best...
But I still think she did a really good job (certainly leaps and bounds better than Isaiah). There were a few pitchy notes, but I think Jess' dancing was messing with her breath control.

Really weak 2nd Semifinal... such a shame that great songs didn't make it in the 1st semi as they would have a much easier path today.
The only performances I really liked were The Netherlands, Sweden and Slovenia...

Woho, my 4 faves all qualified (Norway, Sweden, The Netherlands, Australia) and even my country, Slovenia, got in.
My faves from the 1st semi-final: Estonia, Cyprus, Finland.
From Big 5 + Host group I like Italy, France and Spain, but I'm not too crazy about them.

I admit to not liking Jessica Mauboy, but her song was pure fire. I am glad with her results ♥
I agree, this semi final was weaker... and yet, two of my favorites didn't make it through.

I would say both semis were comparable. The second semi had more highs and more lows than the first one.

This is the worst final we’ve had in years. Many gems were left behind. Serbia got through? Not happy about that.
Anyways, the running order is out and it’s just as disappointing. They had one job, to make every song stand out by having different genres around it. Instead, they went ahead to have the ballads performed together and the dance pop numbers too.
Cyprus is 25th though. Will it win for the first time?

Yay, Serbia got into the finals :)
I think with Poland it is only surprise of the evening.
Honestly I did not watch last night except to hear Serbian song It is ok. I guess people like those etno elements - like when we had similar song which ended up at #2
Not sure how this will go.

Cyprus v Israel v Norway with France and Ireland in the middle will be fun.. Also, semi1 was much stronger imo. Greece and Belgium didnt even go thru

Many gems were left behind. Serbia got through? Trash. I think it's rude to call someone's traditional sound like that. Understand that you don't like the song, they aren't singing in English and it's everything but popular music. The point of this Contest WAS to represent your own country (culture, tradition, language), which is not the case with 2010s Eurovisions..that's why Europe loves this country, Serbia's songs are always different.

I agree, but that was half joking half being mad at Latvia not making the final. Plus, I’ve loved most of the Serbian entries over the years but this one just sounds messy to me.
Sorry for not expressing my opinion the right way.
