This new format feels oddly anticlimactic

I find it good coz I’ve like someone to root for

Portugal qualified! Yasss!!!

Portugal WTF

How the f*** did Portugal qualify on a public vote???

Portugal - ugh

Hopefully Belgium gets through.

Will probably be Ukraine

Diaspora power comes through. But that must have been close

Cyprus was the only real loss there, but not really a surprise

Cyprus not qualifying was the biggest surprise for me

Icelandic Jedward FTW!

Poor Red Sebastian, on his birthday... another favourite from Belgium who DNQ

Portugal going through I think is the biggest WTF - it was just so bland

Holy shit those were amazing results. No huge losses, Belgium and Cyprus, two I wasn't hugely into, gone, bit of a shame about Slovenia after it grew on me but if you'd told me 2 months ago that that would be the worst loss from Semi 1 I'd have taken it. So relieved that Ukraine were in at the end, they had a great performance but it seemed a bit divisive so I'm glad they made it and kept the 100%, this being the one to break it would have hurt.

Liked the new reveal too, fun to predict which of the three they're sending through and it seems to allow them to send through the 'obviously through' ones first.

Norway

Portugal going through a bit out of nowhere, that HAS to have snuck through in 10th after being the best of the rest.

Tonight has been a good reminder to me that January to May is noise, there's no point making predictions until you see the performances.

Belgium killed its own chances I think. I did expect to see Slovenia through but it's not a great loss, interesting that the public didn't go for the back story though. I did win some money on Portugal going through, it was a safety bet on one of the ballads getting in (if Slovenia didn't).

Delighted to see San Marino and Iceland defying the odds! All of my favourites in the semi went through. Yasss for Albania and Sweden of course.

Both Belgium and Cyprus were bland, but would've seen either of them in the final instead of San Marino or Norway. Otherwise great result.

Belgium OUT despite 5th in odds DAMN

not even a drop in odds like Mustii last year 😮

His vocals were painful though.
