If Isaiah smashes the jury AND final perf this time I doubt he will finish quite that low. Hopefully he messes up both :kink:

And Molly - Children Of The Universe is the 2nd best ❤

The staging for Molly was dire though.

Molly had "nice" staging, but it just didn't excite. Camera angles were all over the shop, was she part of a band? Hard to tell. I did love the song though and she was hindered with bad decisions on the staging.
Are the results of semi final 1 placings 11th-18th out soon. They are usually available by now.
No, we normally only get them after the results of the final. Painful waiting, I know, I always want to figure out more stats with them but we'll have to wait.

Eurovision's Instagram page posted a pic of the performers after they'd performed last night and I've taken a snapshot of the 'likes' for each one - this is how popular they were, interesting how the top 10 are all the qualifiers:

 

1. SWEDEN (10513)

2. ARMENIA (9736)

3. PORTUGAL (9265)

4. GREECE (8908)

5. MOLDOVA (8900)

6. CYPRUS (8543)

7. POLAND (8383)

8. AUSTRALIA (8107)

9. AZERBAIJAN (7752)

10. BELGIUM (7137)

---

11. FINLAND (6412)

12. LATVIA (5780)

13. GEORGIA (5567)

14. ALBANIA (5431)

15. MONTENEGRO (4980)

16. ICELAND (4839)

17. CZECH REPUBLIC (4626)

18. SLOVENIA (4293)

I think that's likely to be highly inaccurate. Instagram's more swayable just by things like fanbases and population sizes.

 

A more reliable indicator is usually the view counts of the performances on YouTube and their comparative performances in iTunes/Spotify charts (which you can find here). Both of those measures have Portugal and Belgium as the clear top 2 out of Tuesday night. As of the time this is posted the order is so:

 

Portugal - 565k

Belgium - 407k

Moldova - 300k

Greece - 298k

Poland - 276k

Montenegro - 223k

Cyprus - 211k

Azerbaijan - 206k

Sweden - 193k

Armenia - 182k

---

Latvia - 163k

Australia - 124k

Georgia 106k

All the other DNQs <100k

 

If you adjust for country size then that strikes me as a pretty realistic order of the televoting.

I wish you could see the views on Youtube videos based on country of origin - then we could eliminate all those just watching their own country's performance and that should give a very realistic order.
I was in the arena for that in the jury final, it was quite remarkable how she managed to recompose herself in the space of just 60 seconds to restart and perform it perfectly! :o

I would be content with Portugal and Belgium having the top 2 from Semi Final 1.

 

Belgium in particular is stuck in my head since watching semi final 1.

Finally finished my second full listenthrough :drama:, here is my ranking with lines through the DNQ's

 

95% | Moldova

83% | Iceland

82% | Sweden

79% | Azerbajan

76% | Armenia

75% | Cyprus

72% | Belgium

69% | Latvia

67% | Australia

63% | Poland

59% | Greece

58% | Albania

50% | Slovenia

48% | Montenegro

41% | Georgia

39% | Czech Republic

38% | Finland

15% | Portugal

Gutted Iceland didn't go through - how that DNQ'ed when possibly one of the worst songs I've ever heard from Portugal went through I'll never know :unsure:

Edited by mdh

Well this semi final was amazing. I think quality of the songs and shows was very high. Montenegro only disappointed me I thought there is gonna be more fun. But now I worry that second semi final will be weaker.
We'll be rabbiting again, I'll set up and post the link nearer to the time :D
