September 30, 20195 yr GRAVITY on the other hand, for something that should sound dated, somehow sounds just as incredible if not more so listening to it now. Along with Shady Lady, one of my favourite Ukranian entries ever.
September 30, 20195 yr Author QUALIFIER #6 Austria 2016 ZOE - Loin D'ici 3xuPYt5i5cE Speaking of gays, the little OGAE fave that could, could! After this surprise smash, she then went on to bankroll the San Marino selection in 2017 so she also, in effect, gave us "it's me Jenny B, what you get is what you see!" - make this woman a dame!
September 30, 20195 yr Author QUALIFIER #7 France 2016 Amir - J'ai Cherché -aLPsiyavcU Oh yeah...and that OTHER French song from 2016 also makes it through. Amir kicked off the mini semi-revival that France are still in the midst of by achieving the best French result since 2002. Also our first Male soloist to qualify from Semi 2!
September 30, 20195 yr FINALLY something that I *really* care about is through :lol: The last qualifiers better all hit the mark because this hasn't gone as smoothly as last week where my top 4 all progressed Quédate Conmigo > Sound Of Silence I can take the hate! This I can get on board with. Sound Of Silence is so well performed/sung, but the song itself isn't overly exciting.
September 30, 20195 yr Author QUALIFIER #8 Israel 2018 Netta - Toy 84LBjXaeKk4 Not a big surprise here! We knew the first time we saw her mash up Tik Tok and Gangnam Style that Netta was a firecracker just ready to explode on the Eurovision stage and boy did she deliver in a victory that will surely be one of the winners that stands the test of time.
September 30, 20195 yr Is Molly about to become the most robbed UK entry of all time once again Surely Blanche and Eric Saade are both in
September 30, 20195 yr Author QUALIFIER #9 Sweden 2011 Eric Saade - Popular Zhn4DFHhM3U HE WAS POPULAR! But not quite enough to get the victory in 2011, allegations of vote buying and "please stay with us" jury directives notwithstanding (lets go with "moral victor" or 2011) but we've still seen fit to send Eric through to the final 40. So, one spot left...who's our lucky number 10?
September 30, 20195 yr Author QUALIFIER #10 Belgium 2017 Blanche - City Lights oxsCmChDYwA And our final spot goes to the complete polar opposite of Netta in 2018, the quiet, unassuming vulnerability that many feared would crumble under pressure of the 2017 contest but BOOM fourth place! I never doubted you for a second Blance! (apart from the thirty seconds between the ninth and tenth qualifiers in that semi were announced).
September 30, 20195 yr Author 10 38 11 37 Sweden 2015 - Heroes 12 34 Lithuania 2016 - I've Been Waiting For This Night 13 30 Turkey 2010 - We Could Be The Same 14 30 Montenegro 2013 - Igranka 15 29 Azerbaijan 2011 - Running Scared 16 26 Norway 2014 - Silent Storm 17 24 United Kingdom 2014 - Children Of The Universe 18 22 Belarus 2017 - Story Of My Life 19 20 Israel 2014 - Same Heart 20 19 Greece 2014 - Rise Up 21 14 Denmark 2011 - New Tomorrow 22 13 Denmark 2010 - In A Moment Like This 23 7 Belarus 2013 - Solayoh 24 6 Bulgaria 2011 - Na inat 25 6 Italy 2012 - L'amore e femmina (Out Of Love)
September 30, 20195 yr On the whole a very solid set of qualifiers, sad for Molly and Chanee and N'evergreen but I didn't lose any of my big hitters from this semi.
September 30, 20195 yr Phew, that's half of my top 10 through in total by the end. And I never realistically expected Donny to survive. Wait.....Running Scared came higher than Molly?!?!?
October 1, 20195 yr AND I OOP. I swapped Donny to 5pts and Mans to 4pts at the last minute cos I thought Donny needed the help more. 05.Lithuania 2016: Donny Montell - I've Been Waiting For This Night 04. Sweden 2015: Mans Zelmerlow - Heroes 01.Greece 2014: Freaky Fortune feat. Riskykidd - Rise Up were my misses~
