The Eurovision Times 
Sweden 2nd.
All the bad ones go to the 2nd half … LOL
Salvador must beat everything, everyone, including luck.
Portugal 1st
Plastic is lucky again.
Portugal 1st.
Portugal 1st half, interesting…. :o
like mans, like conchita and like italy 2017!
:)
Poland 1st
Armenia 1st
Poland 1st,Armenia 1st
Aus 2nd
Cyp 2nd
This pidgin English is really embarrassing … Don’t they have presenters with a better command of English in Ukraine?
I will probably only watch the first half of the final. LOL
Same here. I’ll most probably be in the kicthen during the sea of plastic. lol
… and come back to the TV set for Italy and Belgium. Hungary and Belarus to 2nd half.
Boa noite. :)
BEL 2nd
Audience likes Poland again like last year, so many positive comments on YT and likes, and not from polish diaspora, from everywhere.. ;)
I listened to it again and now i find it better live..
Not sure it was something that could blow the minds of huge public to be honest!
Vocals are FANTASTIC…and just look how many ppl from Serbia for example write positive comments, and we don’t have Polish diaspora of course..i saw from Azerbaijan, Greece and Armenia so many positive comments on it, they also don’t have Polish diapsora..GOOOO Kasia, follow the magical footsteps of dear Michal Szpack! <3
2nd half for Blanche YES :D !!
Nice for Belgium
All good songs are in first half😬
The second half is a wasteland for the most part.
That’s what I have just said too. :) :(
Kasia Mos RULES!
I’m sure Armenia will open the final! Song is very opener!
Maybe Kasia Mos?
Nope! Armenia’s intro suits to opening!
If she was top-2 in the semi they won’t have her 1st to perform in the final.
Judging odds I doubt she was 2nd! Belgium could be the one!
Belgium 2nd is a bit far-fetched by who knows?
tommorow it will be clear by odds!
Belgium is doing fine with the odds now.And they’re charting in many countries just like Portugal.
It seems it is Belgium, it has the biggest number of likes on YT now..or second after Portugal..
And she’s charting in many countries.
Yes unfortunately, I still miss the charm of it..yes singer is young and so on, bur so what? :/ it sucks..but hey ho..
By far leading with likes on YT:
1. Portugal
2. Belgium
3. Poland
to me this still sounds like cheap copy of Jamala :(
Disagreed but whatever. Still it is not political 😉
It was fun!
Boa noite, everyone. :)
Night night Shevek
I think I may jump in just for the 2nd half on Saturday if Bulgari picks one of the 3 places remaining there as well lol. Ok Azerbaijan is first half as well.
PRT closing in on ITA in the betting odds … The plot thickens. :)
UK now 6th in odds to win!
Do you think now Tijana will qualify???
ROFL on UK and SRB is borderline imo. Everything will depend on the live performance. Good luck!
So,for the 2nd semifinal there are 7 slots at the first half and 3 at the second,
The five songs I like are in so it’s a good result. I won’t say “Greece doesn’t deserve the spot!” because it will backfire at me and Australia… :P I enjoyed Cyprus, glad they’re in, the live performance helps (I didn’t hate it at half of the song).
Bets on who came last ? My bet is between Montenegro and Czech Republic.
Czech Republic then. Montenegro got at least some wtf votes methinks. While the Czech entry probably passed by unnoticed for both viewers and several juries. :(
True. Still dissapointing though. Martina was very good tonight imo.
