[@aleksanderpagels288]

I never realized how even more epic Randajad is without singing

[@ziyadquliyev5010]

eurovision 2012 the best song contest in Baku and best songsssssssssss

[@kitchentileniall]

I'm from America, but I'm supporting Ireland. Jedward bring so much fun and energy to the stage and I love it! They're incredible and they deserve to win, because they always put 101% in everything they do.

[@_sonsuz_sevgim_tv5940]

The best eurovision ever

[@yohdawn]

I am sooooo in love with this song

[@SloPx2]

It's like you don't really appreciate art. Such a powerful performance, and vocal, happens 1/mio. It deserves to be in top 3 in the finals, it does. And I'm from Slovenia.

[@gavmcguinness8024]

I'm proud to say that I only voted once in this semi final and that was for Albania! Love from Ireland.

[@Ha11d0r99]

That song is awesome I never get tired of it

[@TheDopoqob]

I LOVE THIS SONG, IN THE BACKGROUND. EUROVISION CONFIRMED FOR GOOD TASTE IN BACKGROUND MUSIC

[@InessaSan]

Russian grandma smiling and happy life... May god give you health and long life...^^A low bow...Thank you for the positive, good music... Thank you for the positive, your song is the best...))) Какие у нас улыбчивые бабушки... Зарядили позитивом...)))

[@rosemaryswf]

Good Luck to Jedward, the nicest lads in the world, absolute best, I hope they win!!

[@Leifang12]

Denmark, Iceland, Albania and Finland were the best tonight!! RANDEJAD IS PLAYED IN THE BACKGROUND!!! LOVE IT!!! Alvedansen should be there aswell!

[@SloPx2]

Do you honestly think she couldn't sing that part nicely and she didn't mean to scream that part out? The song is full with desperate feelings. Screaming is one way to express them. And she's done it very, very great.

[@IIstefanieII]

JEDWARD are the best! They are so funny and full of energy and they're so nice to their fans! Their performance is awesome and I love the song! They deserve to win!

[@MariyaMagija]

I'm really happy with the results this semi-final. The only thing I would like to see different is Sinplus in the ten qualifiers. Go Ireland, Iceland, and Russia!!!

[@plimutrok]

Бабулечки- красотулечки! Какие же вы милые и хорошие, светлые лица у вас! Здоровья Вам и счастья! Спасибо вам за Вас! )

[@YrahSGLH]

[@georgiapapadopoulou2408]

[@ministr2302]

It's OK :) And the song is very beautiful indeed! :)

[@G9projects]

oh, that's the point. i'm not albanian. i just love rona's song since the first time I heard it. this is a european party, not a contest of selfish and patriotic decisions.

[@Viisuboy]

Valentina you are so beautiful and was great last night I SUPPORT YOU =)

[@MrDraaakon]

The song is from Estonia , Eurovision 2009, Urban Symphony Rändajad , :D

[@TheLordOfNorway]

[@MyPuppyMolly]

[@LittleCookieDevil]

[@TRockin3]

Greece is the best...!! Eleutheria you're perfect..!!!

[@Alipglossa]

OMG an old estonian eurovision song as the back drop! Jeee Eesti!

[@elena555110]

They have the best song!!! :DDD

[@aaroncregan5385]

LOVE THE ROMANIAN SONG hope ye do good enough from Ireland

[@billkaulitzisttoll]

OMG someone else has finally noticed!!!!! :))

[@Tihbialdunav]

Estonian song in the background is the best EVER in Eurovision contest.

[@YrahSGLH]

Lucky you!; That song, I hate most (My personally 42th place) passed through, Cyprus But my winner - Ireland - passed through also!

[@mollayoyo]

ok, that Albania girl has the most awesome voice ever!

[@BogdanHonciuc]

03:20 Elena from Mandinga is sooooo beautiful!

[@vezirmertcan]

Song is half english and half russian. It cannot win anything really on its own. But The Grannies, oh The Grannies.!!!! I can listen to any song they perform. Whoever wanted them to sing in the contest, must be really wise!!! They are my favourite!

[@Andrenafarah311504]

this music is urban symphony from 2009 randajad

[@Pantsu51]

You complain about Albania passing to the finals and not for MOLDOVA? Are you guys crazy? Albania was wonderful and the singer deserved a place in the finals! Way to go Albania, lots of love from Greece!

[@janettf97]

Compact Disco is the Best! :3 I love you guys! *-*

[@One-IronOX]

so sad finnland isnt in the final :(( loved that song so much

[@lovelight-]

Those grannys are SO CUTE!!

[@AnesBosna]

Can you upload that dance they made before they said who came to the finals? thumbs up if you want them to upload them :

[@Tributorious]

I think Finland had the best song this year

[@shaaniamertanaadi]

If Edward Norton & Collin Farrell had a child, he would be it.

[@aleidas1000]

SWITZERLAND, I LOVE YOU

[@lllusium]

Most of my favorite songs have not passed ((( but some of them performed worse than during the rehearsals. But Switzerland deserve the winning. Love them. I don't understand why nobody voted for them. Russian grannies are cute. Go Russia!!!

[@PecheMelba113]

An ingenious mix of Edward Norton and Colin Farrell, why Pasha is so cute =P

[@vasilis83]

I love you Rona.

[@lucygordon8665]

So Pernilla was only 21 when she performed? They made her look so old

[@HPelao]

The best thing about this video is: urban symphony's rändajad...

[@ludd41]

CAN'T WAIT FOR SEMI FINAL 2! SERBIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA YEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@TingitanianCenturion]

[@Denis-89]

He also looks exactly like Colin Farrell. It's funny how he looks like two famous actors:D

[@LuanZeqiri1]

[@susie4john]

Theyre Through to the final so may the best team win GO TEAM JEDWARD IRELAND VOTE 23 WATERLINE

[@Estonian4life]

yeah, like 1 of the main actors in Scream movies :P

[@JKalama25799752]

Albania's song isn't good, but it is verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyy EPIC.

[@YrahSGLH]

Can I ask you something; How can you say that after their performance yesterday? The song is good, but I think the performance complety destroyed it.

[@Escmacrae95]

em..well.. albania's song did just basically go to whispering, then shouting then back to whispering, what i can say which is good about is that she shows emotion which is reflecting from the song, anyway i'm a rock fan and i was just disgraced that such a good rock song was beaten by albania

[@loladze18]

Love Albania & Cyrpus & Romania & Greece

[@tul1n1]

Rona is so cute in person

[@derpderpington5255]

Has anyone noticed that the Moldovan singer looks EXACTLY like Edward Norton

[@Jm649]

The music

[@DaeRefrain]

I will miss Israel, Finland, Latvia and Belgium on saturday... :´( A big SORRY from Germany to them. :(

[@jomaimai1]

It's the karaoke version of Rändajad ^^

[@fabb4i2]

Rona Nishliu is a funny person! I like her song very much too!

[@TheDopoqob]

[@primerib21]

[@crisarjim]

I'm so so so really sorry it was Ireland who took swiss chance

[@Nova170290]

Я бы сказала многие толком не знают русский народ и при этом делают поспешные выводы) В принципе они заблуждаются,как и многие иностранцы,но нам ведь это только на плюс.Иногда мы этим и выигрываем))

[@MsIndent]

woman with a snake nest on her head is freaking terrifying

[@YrahSGLH]

Agree! Dublin 2013!!!

[@Tataroli]

The final guy, is Moldavian and he is so funny :D
