May 10, 20178 yr If Isaiah smashes the jury AND final perf this time I doubt he will finish quite that low. Hopefully he messes up both :kink:
May 10, 20178 yr And Molly - Children Of The Universe is the 2nd best ❤ The staging for Molly was dire though.
May 10, 20178 yr 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.
May 10, 20178 yr Are the results of semi final 1 placings 11th-18th out soon. They are usually available by now.
May 10, 20178 yr 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.
May 10, 20178 yr 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)
May 11, 20178 yr 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.
May 11, 20178 yr Thanks for that! So Australia might had indeed qualified because of juries (or Isaiah's own fanbase for that matter) as speculated here before Edited May 11, 20178 yr by SKOB
May 11, 20178 yr 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.
May 11, 20178 yr 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
May 11, 20178 yr 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.
May 11, 20178 yr 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 May 11, 20178 yr by mdh
May 11, 20178 yr 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.
