Still waiting on the hot statz update but Australia allegedly won the second semi final!

YES - never doubted them for a second!

Very close run thing at the moment!!1!!!

This looks suspiciously like the voting's about to begin!

Sent votes in for Sweden, France and Austria

Based purely on tonight's performances my ranking of the 26 is: Sweden France Austria Israel Norway Finland Belgium Germany Czechia United Kingdom Australia Armenia Slovenia Portugal Albania Lithuania Estonia Spain Poland Cyprus Ukraine Switzerland Croatia Italy Moldova Serbia

We've done the best we could with what we had I think (she hit the note!!1!11!!!1!!111!!!) so this will just come down to whether people liked that song or not!

This is the best version of Germany I have seen this whole season!

Norway's kicking off the final ramp up to the end here I feel.

The fack is it with those trampolining backup dancers?

My family of normies were utterly repulsed by Serbia.

Fantastic opener - can't fault it at all!

Enjoy the show everyone!

Less than an hour to go girlies - you’re going to want to watch this from credits to credits!

Not wanting to jump the gun but I'm pretty sure the only person ever to win Buzzvision as well as the main show is Loreen so maybe this is going to be a double of a double!

Intriguingly close so far...

Ready to be very. very wrong about this but I predict: 01 Sweden 02 Finland 03 Israel 04 France 05 Austria 06 Slovenia 07 Australia 08 Croatia 09 Spain 10 Belgium 11 Czechia 12 Italy 13 Cyprus 14 Norway 15 Ukraine 16 United Kingdom 17 Armenia 18 Switzerland 19 Estonia 20 Lithuania 21 Serbia 22 Albania 23 Poland 24 Germany 25 Moldova 26 Portugal

Voted.

You can JUST ABOUT give the four big tracks in the first half all a decent draw but it's incredibly stacked!

My annual late night attempt at programming a running order (This is not the official order dolls x) 01 Poland 02 Estonia 03 Portugal 04 Switzerland 05 Serbia 06 Italy 07 Austria 08 Albania 09 France 10 Spain 11 Finland 12 Cyprus 13 Sweden - BREAK - 14 Germany 15 Moldova 16 Croatia 17 Lithuania 18 Israel 19 Ukraine 20 Belgium 21 Slovenia 22 Norway 23 Czechia 24 Australia 25 Armenia 26 United Kingdom

First Half Spain France Italy Switzerland Finland Portugal Sweden Serbia Albania Cyprus Estonia Austria Poland Second Half Ukraine United Kingdom Germany Croatia Moldova Czechia Israel Norway Belgium Lithuania Australia Armenia Slovenia

So glad that Greece couldn’t diaspora their way out of the semi. Georgia is a weird one - my main theory for why it didn’t take off is that it probably felt very “style over substance” to your average televoter.

Sent in tactical votes for Albania, Belgium and Armenia

The 'A' countries really carried this semi!
