[@iririeiek]

I was so scared but they got true oh yeah go Ireland

[@autorstage7686]

Albania

[@jonasMAN788]

personally i think the hosts from finland 2007 were the best. their relationship was great and were fun which translated across the tv.

[@wiimannoob]

Iceland was by FAR the best song in this semi-final. This is excactly what Eurovision needs, fresh, clean, nordic etno :) It's not music, it's art

[@esctoroshelidze5439]

And Switzerland too

[@gonzalezlopezalejandro2122]

Finlandia :'(

[@Labbish1]

Anke is best! She was so funny. Usually I don't care about hosts but Anke was cool :D

god this whole semi final was better than some years

[@esctoroshelidze5439]

@@luciinferno7746 yes! Like the early 2000's the concept of making Eurovision more dynamic did not work until 2008-2009. 2012 is legendary and it will always be my favourite

[@esctoroshelidze5439]

@@luciinferno7746 Finland and Switzerland should have qualified instead of Russia and Greece. I didn't really liked them.

[@luciinferno7746]

[@kostastsolas3676]

all copied from ESC 2011! The stage is different and the colours from design.

[@vincentstef5708]

[@TheMissAchiever]

[@esctoroshelidze5439]

I missed Austria a lot :( They deserved imo instead of that bad-taste disaster from Greece.

[@Alex4u]

oh god no suspense at all, very boring presentation! plus the lightning was so dark why?? we could hardly see the faces of the singers in the blue room.

[@europlayoof5429]

[@hughson9229]

Putting Albania outside of that is a Crime. In all seriousness though i do like your list but only as an opinion.

[@keitaro-kun2373]

@@hughson9229 In my opinion Albania's entry in 2012 is extremely overrated, for me she's just screaming into the microphone, but i repesct who likes

[@hughson9229]

@@keitaro-kun2373 She is actually Belting, not screaming. They sound similar but are not the same thing. Belting can also be very hard to do, so her 5th place was more of a deserved Ranking not overrated.

[@keitaro-kun2373]

@@hughson9229 Yeah, i know what belting and high notes is, but I thought her beltings were very shouted, so I didn't like it very much, but i respect your opinion ^^

The Golden Ticket is the worst and most pointless gimmick I’ve ever seen at Eurovision 😂
