“Occidentali’s Karma” was written by Luca Chiaravalli, Fabio Ilacqua, and Francesco Gabbani himself! After winning San Remo 2017 on 15 February, Gabbani accepted RAI’s offer to become the Italian entrant in Kyiv! The full result of the semifinal is listed below.
103 votes (74%) Italy – F.Y.R. Macedonia 36 votes (26%)
This means that F.Y.R. Macedonia is eliminated and that Italy is in the final! Come back tomorrow for the results of semifinal 2 between Belgium and Estonia!
The Eurovision Times 
:)
The percentages add up to 98 % only.
Thanks for catching that! F.Y.R. Macedonia’s supposed to be 26% lol
Hope the final is Italy-Estonia, now that Portugal has been eliminated. I got completely tired of the Belgium entry, what a boring song!, it’s not even in my top 10 anymore…
By the way, when are we supposed to vote again?
Voting for the final will open in two days and close on the day of the first semi-final!
Thank you, Nick. P., but I was referring to Gregor’s poll.
Once the Fridas and ETSC are over. Probably in September when all the dust has settled and everyone has the distance to see things from a longtime perspective. :)
togravus, I thought he was planning another set of votes after the rehearsals had started and before the real show and then a final one after the final. Did I dream it?
If he did, I missed it. LOL
Le WHAT?! o.O Haha when did I say that? XD The point of the Premath was to rate the songs before the rehearsels as to not influence the voters with the live performances (now I know I didn’t quite succed in that, but next year that will be the case!). I dont see the point in doing a poll after the rehearsels, I dont really wanna milk the idea, but Togravus is right about the Aftermath doh. That poll will start in September as an ending to the Eurovision season and is situated that late to create a distance to the official ESC result as to not influence everyones personal rankings. So yeah you might have dreamt that ;)
Ok, ok! It was a nice dream, nevertheless… The iea was to track the evolution on each one’s top 10, that was my dream :-)
Phase 1: all the songs with their official videos;
Phase 2: rehearsing period;
Phase 3: after results.
The appeal of the Italian entry is HUGE!!! Let’s see if TEKO winner, wins the real contest too!
Will that be the first time that happens? Cause I remember that even Loreen didn’t win TEKO.
