May 20, 20214 yr All my faves from this Semi are through, Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria, Switzerland and Iceland. Switzerland's entry could end up the dark horse of the competition, if it finishes first on the night.Switzerland are literally one of the favourites to win? :lol:
May 20, 20214 yr I’m sad for Denmark! I did think they’d done enough, and slightly surprised Moldova made it but it’s a really good song. I felt the same with Moldova, it wasn't that great, bring back grandma on the rocking chair :lol:
May 20, 20214 yr how interesting that only 1 female act didn't qualify in this Semi and only 1 male act didn't qualify in Semi 1. Poor Fyr & Flamme being the only non-soloists to leave at the Semi stage. The song was such a catchy bop but still absolutely *terrible*.
May 20, 20214 yr It was weird to put Albania as 1st qualifier because Finland and Greece were always qualifying in those last 2 spots... :lol: In fact all the iffy ones were announced in the first 5 and the last 5 (Iceland, San M, Switzerland, Greece and Finland) were basically all dead certs!
May 20, 20214 yr WHY ARE THEY ASKING PHILLIP f***ING KIRKOROV A QUESTION THIS IS NOT HIS TIME. GET HIM AWAY FROM NATALIA
May 20, 20214 yr So disappointed for Denmark, I loved it it would have been a highlight for me if it went through. Finland and San Merino are my faves of those who went through.
May 20, 20214 yr The clips are up on YouTube. Most have bellow 100k views. Serbia currently has 474k views and more thumbs up that many counties have even had views 62k
May 21, 20214 yr Tonight I was watching and I enjoyed 'Iceland' the most (not as good as their 2020 song though) and probably 'Switzerland' 2nd but there wasn't one song that wowed me. I was actually quite bored overall which I don't think I've said before and didn't really care who went through. Saying that I look forward to Saturday.
May 21, 20214 yr Current Youtube views on clips from Semi 2 Serbia 1.5 million (93k thumbs up) Greece 592k Poland 426k Albania 359k Finland 321k Iceland 226k Switzerland 211 Portugal 202k Moldova 200k Bulgaria 186k San Marino 176k Czech Republic 61k Denmark 58k Estonia 48k Georgia 43k Latvia 22k

Amazingly low for San Marino; I’d have thought people would want to revisit the Flo Rida moment. And 3rd for Poland. :cry: I love that song but the performance was woefully dated so I realised it probably wasn’t gong through at that point. On an unrelated note, with such a high standard it’s a shame we couldn’t get rid of awful Germany and dull Spain in the semis. UK might have been a borderline qualifier this time. I think it’s questionable whether the big 5 countries really need to see their song in the final when it’s obviously going to bomb and would be better off being put out of its misery. ^_^

And 3rd for Poland. :cry: I love that song but the performance was woefully dated so I realised it probably wasn’t gong through at that point. Maybe there's a regional thing going on with the reporting of views - but I'd have though this was quite automatic. Poland is bizarre considering it didn't qualify. Perhaps people want to see how awful it was. Maybe there's a bot who loves Serbia and Poland :D
May 21, 20214 yr San Merino should climb now that Flo Rida was actually on stage, curiosity might draw in views.
May 21, 20214 yr Poland is a huge country so maybe those are Polish views? Youtube is also bigger in eastern/southern Europe than in nordic/western countries. Edited May 21, 20214 yr by Sour Candy
May 21, 20214 yr Yeah that's why reading into the Ukraine/Russia numbers can also be counterproductive as YT is v popular here
May 21, 20214 yr I think it would be far more interesting being able to see the YT views excluding views from artist's own country.
May 21, 20214 yr Poland has by far the biggest population of any semi 2 country. 37 million. I don't know who's next but Greece has 10 million. The rest are all below 10, I think. Edited May 21, 20214 yr by Colm
May 21, 20214 yr Pretty decent semi 2 - I was quite sad that Austria didn't make it through and also Denmark. Am I the only one who doesn't care for Scott Mills and the 'Eurovision expert' they had, who didn't seem to have a clue?!!
May 21, 20214 yr I was quite sad that Austria didn't make it through and also Denmark. Me too. I was thinking the juries would love that Austrian entry. :o
