[@dv.2448]

Sergei is so cute and talented! 12 points from USA

[@HoovyBird]

+D V. If singing really badly in front of a special effects screen is talent then yes,he is.

[@HoovyBird]

Level2001 How am I a Ukranian hater if I'm clearly talking about Russia in the comment?

[@patulyapark]

Thank you😌❤️🇷🇺

[@tateviksepkhanyan2547]

IVETA you are very brave and smart person.Wish you and Armenia good luck in final

[@ruslanehmedov1403]

Allah elemesin

[@ohanesnoraierohanes8481]

42:29 That jerk really didn't have to ask that "question"... It put her into a very sharp and awkward situation. That disappointed face at 43:02 expresses everything. But forunately she gave a very professional answer.

[@Crowsrevenge]

I cringed really when I heard him say his remarks about the flag.The Eurovision is an event which aims to spread peace and build connections and this guy is literally ruining it all and doing the opposite, just to please his inner nationalist. Awful!

[@mrmr4622]

+Ohanes Bator yeah! so unprofessional of him, but good for Samra, she responded perfectly

[@awesomegful]

+Ohanes Bator Well she didn't..if you can hear carefully, the woman next to Samra told her what to say..

[@elmarazero6182]

+Ohanes Bator With all my respect I agree with all of that you said, but would be better if Iveta wouldn't just raise up that flag in the Green Room since she already knows how controversial is the situation atm. Sorry, but that can only be called "propaganda".

[@TaurusGirl22]

He did the right thing, Armenia began first, if they are allowed to show their opinion about that issue why should Azeri shut up?

[@Denis-89]

I think we are more closer to Yerevan 2017 than Moscow 2017. Iveta slayed all tonight, including Sergey. Foo such a hyped entry he sure wasn't all that great. He came off nervous and tried to much. Iveta was pure class and the best performance of the night. I am still cheering for France and Frans though:)

[@JennyYogi]

+jajceboy I totally agree with you. Iveta is the QUEEN. She has a very good song and a strong voice. I think Russia is so overhyped and without the staging, the song would appear rather poor.

[@vartebedk]

+jajceboy I don't know, I think Russia's still got this. But it's kind of awesome how Iveta has managed to elevate her place in the competition with the live performances considering the song had a more lukewarm response originally...

[@carmen8462]

I have the same feeling and I just like Iveta's song and performance more. Yerevan 2017 would be great!💜

[@RDrRD1989]

+Bogdan Jašović Belgrade 2017!

[@orxanm4207]

He spoken realy good and true.Karabagh belongs to Azerbaijan ! Armenia occupted 20% of Azerbaijan territory !

[@dempetro]

+Turan Baku It wasn't a propaganda from Iveta from Armenia all she asked is peace in that region, she did not name any country. Azeri journalist's speech was a clear propaganda and not a question at all.

[@dempetro]

It wasn't a propaganda from Iveta from Armenia all she asked is peace in that region, she did not name any country. Azeri journalist's speech was a clear propaganda and not a question at all.

[@zilinaboom]

I feel sorry for Azerbaijan. And "so called question" from local press put Samra into a very awkward situation.

[@orxanm4207]

You feel sorry for Azerbaijan because Armenian occupied 20% of territory of Azerbaijan? And killed children at khojaly?

The guy representing The Netherlands has a crush on Iveta. That is for sure. :))))) U must see his face in the press conference video that Wiwibloggs posted. He is just killing it. And ofc Iveta was like a Love Tsunami. Holland was great too.

AZERBAYCAN BAŞARILAR TEBRİKLER YOLUN AÇIK OLSUN SAMRA...

[@LightArfash]

мдааааа, Украина "блестнула умом"...хотела камушек в Россию запульнуть, да хрен получилось. Даже иностранные журналисты подали звуки недовольства в адрес украинскому журналисту в розовой кофточке (видимо хотел впечатлить кофточкой Филиппа) за мягко говоря, тупой вопрос. Украинская делегация всем своим видом и поведением показывает вражду к России в то время, когда Российская делегация, относится к Украине, как и ко всем остальным, дружелюбно. Когда же вы угомонитесь? Даже на таком прекрасном конкурсе, все пытаетесь какую то гадость сделать России. Тьфу...

[@lightefilit]

фу кричали не на парня с вопросом, а на проблему. Как бы не убеждал Сергей в обратном, а проблемы ЛГБТ в России огромные.

[@LightArfash]

+Lightefilit Faylin фу было не на проблему, а как раз таки на "вопрос". Были бы внимательны, то заметили бы, что после того, как ведущий закончил жребий для России, он попросил всех присутствующих быть предельно вежливыми и корректными в своих вопросах и комментариях, не оскорбляя и не обижая никого и т.д.

[@Anna_-A]

+ann1electro ну скажем в европейской части России гомофобии нет, скорее неприязнь, брезгливость, непонимание... Конечно, в лицо им никто и ничего не говорит, но про себя обязательно подумают и я считаю в общем это правильно, % таких людей в любом обществе всегда был и будет, но не дай боже, чтобы Россия в этом смысле стала, как Европа и Америка, не дай бог!!!!!

[@lightefilit]

Light Arfa были бы Вы внимательнее и лучше знал язык, поняли бы что он говорил о "фу", которые выкрикивали, а не о самом вопросе.

[@LightArfash]

+Lightefilit Faylin, с английским у меня все замечательно, чего, судя по вашим комментариям, не могу сказать о вас. Были бы вы умнее, то вы бы поняли всю суть реплики украинского журналиста.
