May 10, 20187 yr I'm in a state of euphoric shock at Slovenia. I hoped they could do it but never actually expected them to do it. So pleased Yeah, I was sure she was out, especially with the awkward "where is music" moment but I'm so happy she's through!! Also I'm feeling quite pleased to have predicted Poland's NQ, but at the same time sad for Latvia - I thought she sang it very well tonight but I guess it just wasn't enough.
May 10, 20187 yr Oh thank G-d my home country totally f***ed up. That's what we probably deserve. No Latvia tho :mellow: i guess the only one i miss cuz Georgia and Montenegro had really zero chance
May 10, 20187 yr With the collapse of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Greece, Russia, Romania and Poland this year, if anyone DARES to mention political/bloc voting in this forum again I will ban you from existence. We really needed this, didn't we? Just to shut them up. Though I saw a huge amount of Greeks on Instagram calling it 'biased', 'unfair' and 'political' that they didn't get through... and that Ireland did... :rolleyes: Edited May 10, 20187 yr by Midge

Preach! But this is so true, diaspora votes can help a song but they can only do so much - this is fantastic evidence that no country is guaranteed to qualify unless their entry has a wide enough appeal!
May 10, 20187 yr Sorry double post B-) But while I'm here I might as well say that I'm happy for Slovenia and Serbia but they have to be two of the most surprising qualifiers I've ever seen?!?! I counted them both out but well done them for proving me completely wrong Edited May 10, 20187 yr by Alpha.
May 10, 20187 yr Author AND it was another 6/4 split in terms of qualifying from first/second half ALL THE RULES ARE OUT THE WINDOW THIS YEAR

Absolutely! We've been gifted a huge stick to beat the "Eurovision is all about politics people just vote for their neighbours" w*n**rs to death with
May 10, 20187 yr Lmaoo my housemate ALWAYS brings that up when watching :drama: So I can use that one on him.
May 10, 20187 yr Such an underwhelming final overall, although 7 of my 'top' 10 have qualified. Delighted for Sweden, Benjamin is adorable and "Dance You Off" is challenging for my favourite song of the contest. A shame Jessica's outfit/staging/vocals were all over the place because it's a good song - Australia's best after Dami for sure.
May 10, 20187 yr Not been watching the semis but HA BYE at Poland going out, that's one of the four songs I've already heard and it was pretty shite. We don't need BJSC generic dance trash infecting Eurovision as well. Only heard Israel, Estonia and Australia otherwise and the only one of those I like at all is Israel - looking forward to hearing the rest for the first time on Saturday and I hope there will be some nice surprises among the rest. Based on what I've read about the songs I am pretty intrigued for Cyprus, Hungary, Denmark and Lithuania in particular. And also Albania, Serbia and Slovenia (and I suppose France, Italy, Portugal and Spain) purely for not being in English, it's great to see a good variety of different languages this year, Jamala and Salvador ushering in a new era of countries embracing their own language *.* Gonna have to YouTube a few of these DNQs at some point as well, I've been quite a fan of Montenegro's past Balkan ballad entries. On the other hand though whoever allowed that guy from the Common Linnets back again needs to be executed. And it looks like this song is probably even worse than 'Calm After The Storm'. Ew.
May 10, 20187 yr omg Poland out! who will get the UK’s televoting 12 points now?!?! 😪😪 Ireland? It will be very funny to see UK giving high points to Ireland and Ireland giving 0 points to the UK as always. :lol:
May 10, 20187 yr omg Poland out! who will get the UK’s televoting 12 points now?!?! 😪😪 Finland or Ireland probs, Lithuania is a good shout though.
May 10, 20187 yr Voted 3 x for Hungary and 3 x Denmark tonight. Very pleased with the results, only missed Malta. I thought she did a great performance tonight. And YAAAAAAS at Russia finally failing!
May 10, 20187 yr I'm pretty sure Lithuania usually beat Poland in the UK televote anyway? At least the last couple of years.
May 10, 20187 yr Cyprus are so going to win this I think either Finland or Lithuania could top the U.K. televote Edited May 10, 20187 yr by ubɹǝɯbƆ
