[@M1kY28]

+puvel. priv Czech Republic

[@jindrich5562]

Thanks from Czechia!

[@ВладГайдалович]

Petra became so sad when people started scanding iceland

[@TheKs94]

I still can't get over the fact that Iceland didn't qualify. It was their best entry ever.

[@aysegulyenilmez5294]

Iceland, North Macedonia, Belarus and Norway was so underrated in 2016💔

[@MrPeterpan1993]

Dislikes for Iceland not qualified

[@elkiuricelandsteillson9911]

Yep

[@domipetiacoustic]

Of course...

[@jorgemarcelososab.5353]

[@unitrvl]

+yuna219 Estonia has the best song but it's not something that sells for Eurovision, Icelandic song is horrible. Betting agencies got it wrong big time.

[@Nightraven26]

+unitrvl what drugs are you on? Icelandic song was awesome, totally should have qualified

[@robinking1317]

This was a difficult choice because many songs were good. But This was also my top 10 list.

[@frankynovotny2030]

I screamed in joy when Czech Republic got in

[@GergoMarosvari]

You deserved it so much! Good luck next year Czech friends! :)

[@adamdivaio9988]

I do not understand why pregnant Malta held until the last and made her nervous?

[@Ontubeon]

+Adam Divaio pregnant Malta, really? :D

[@adamdivaio9988]

Ontubeon u didnt know? Yes she is

[@agshinsanili505]

+Adam Divaio they probably wanted her to give birth on live TV so they can enjoy more views on KZbin for that particular clip... It was really mean though, to keep her till the end.

[@YungRitalin]

+Adam Divaio I know right? that was kinda weird.

[@YungRitalin]

+Ontubeon And yes, she is pregnant.

[@GeorgeAustinTay]

I let out a huge YAAASSSS when they said Croatia and Czech Republic

I was screaming too when they announce Czech Republic!! YEZZZZZAAA!!!

[@vikramleon]

I'm glad that the Czech Republic is FINALLY in the Grand Final for the first time ever since their debut in the contest in 2007. And i'm also glad that my country (The Netherlands) is back in the Grand Final after last year's failure.

[@moncam2589]

Czech republic is best!!!!!! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ I'm from czech republic Congratulations for the Netherlands and congratulations to all the other

[@franbornes]

Iceland got robbed.

[@mitchellesc6512]

Iceland was absolutely flawless! How did it not qualify? Everybody was yelling "Iceland" in the crowd, but it didn't qualify. I'm very sad. :( :(

[@flylo7018]

Don't cry.... Cause I'm still sad about it :(

[@TeuberCZ]

Did you see, like a second before announcing Czech Republic, how Mans kind of smiled? Seems like he is happy for CZ that qualified :)

[@M1kY28]

+Písecký Patrik Gábina to musí vyhrát

[@matejadamek4879]

Jo 😂❤️❤️

[@egorkoval9924]

I was scared of screaming cuz all the neighbors slept that night. I controlled myself thoroughly by Croatia and Austria, but when Czech made it I just couldn't. 💛💛💛 Actually voted for Czech 3 times and for BH 1.

[@Zionga]

Iceland and Estonia got robbed ;-;

[@MrNathanAUS]

Ikr Iceland and Estonia were in my top 10

[@kristjanbakker4118]

yeah Iceland deserved it! :(

[@TheVintress]

Iceland come back!

[@dSublime8]

[@Claufki]

I just laughed when I heard Portugal and Luxembourg OMG hahaha Anyway, kinda sad Iceland and Estonia didnt qualify tho.

[@auroraborealis9739]

+ClaudiaRandom it is rather depressing and frustrating.

[@narekm5388]

Malta & Armenia very super !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Jancek34]

Russia, Azerbaijan, Romania and Ukraine are the only countries that have never lost in semi final before! This record ends for Greece and Bosnia.

[@vikyapostolopoulou4226]

Yes

[@Jancek34]

Dimoo J Me too at my country (Slovenia) We don't have a chance this year...

[@miloseviczarko45]

+Japek34 Don't count Azerbaijan, Romania and Ukraine, because Azerbaijan debuted in 2008, Ukraine did not participate in 2015 and Romania isn't participating in 2016... So Russia is the only country that qualified EVERY year since 2004...

[@DTMiss]

+Japek34 I like the song from your country ;)

[@BlandineEsc]

+miloseviczarko45 but Russia was AQ in 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2009 though 😛

[@ENDINEKO1]

My qualifiers: Russia Estonia Armenia Croatia Hungary Austria Czech Republic Malta Iceland Greece

[@stefdems5781]

[@escthenetherlands]

[@mertdemirel6560]

Came here to watch how Czech Republic qualified again and again. It was the best moment.

[@na1x805]

LOL.. Azerbaijan? But what about Estonia and Iceland?

[@anarsoltansoy4835]

👊

[@na1x805]

+Anar Qədimov ?

[@ԴավիթՅան]

I also think wtf ?! :D

[@CommandoReptilio]

+Na1x I was litterly sad Iceland didn't make it. As I live in The Netherlands my dad lost it when he heard Netherlands, but when Iceland just didn't qualify I kept litterly saying: 'WHAT, Why themmmmm and not Iceland or Estionia... They were better' My dad didn't care anymore lol

[@timurkuseli1406]

+Na1x Cuz Azerbaijan's song was way better.

[@cidneywhite2550]

Iceland and Estonia were far better than Azerbaijan, let's face it. Why would people vote for her, when she can't even sing and send the other two amazing singers home. Like that girl is just lucky. Wow unbelievable.

[@Zionga]

i know ;-;

[@valandoa7658]

let's be honest dude.her song is better no matter her vocals. the other two was boring af they didnt even make me watch them

[@vikyapostolopoulou4226]

+valando Estonian song wasn't boring...neither the song from Iceland

[@valandoa7658]

+viky apostolopoulou they were for me :/ i didnt like both of them from the beginning.. #sorrynotsorry

[@paologjeli]

4:15 Juri drinking :( REALLY DESERVED THE FINAL!

[@emredadasoglu1128]

but so bad performance tonigth :/

[@paologjeli]

+Emre Dadaşoğlu He was not sober lol

[@ΕυαγγελίαΚαφαλή-λ5υ]

Jurl and Argo they deserved to challenge for the final.

[@Voxaints]

Aww, I feel so sorry for everyone who didn't reach the final, especially for Estonia. Last year's participants, Elena and Stig, were on Jüri's side the whole competition and as it said that there was only one ticket for the final left, you saw no hope in their eyes. It's a pity they didn't accomplish, I'd rather see them in the final than Azerbaijan, althrough I love the song. Estonia, Iceland and every other country who didn't and won't reach the final, you are great, don't forget that and you'll be part of ESC 2016 forever.

[@crobrazilac]

Well done, croatia. Shame about iceland.

[@RDrRD1989]

Croatia was horrible. As well as Azerbaijan.

[@zabi0094]

+MrRD1981 Erred, Azerbaijan was one of the best and deserves the final!

[@user-bl7uc1dx6p]

ZABI 009 azerbaijan song maybe yes, but terrible live. Iceland was flawless live

[@dumfeldemfries]

My Qualifiers In Random Order: Hungary Cyprus Russia Iceland Estonia The Netherlands Malta Czech Republic Armenia Croatia

[@zenon9922]

WHY no Austria

[@ΕυαγγελίαΚαφαλή-λ5υ]

the same! replace Austria with Greece and everything is ok

[@moncam2589]

Czech republic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ♡♡♡♡♡ ♡♡♡♡ ♡♡♡ ♡♡ ♡

[@treypohe4593]

Strange knowing that when Petra announced some countries that qualified into the final that all Måns said was... "Congratulations!" Meanwhile, Måns announces the other countries and Petra finds all these words other than "Congratulations..." Lol

[@paoloel2770]

My favs: Croatia, Czech Republic, Austria

[@MrTheMooCows]

Iceland :(

[@adnan7956]

Is it bad that I have watched this so many times I have memorised the order that they get announced 😂😂

[@hannahmayr19]

Austria❤

[@ElectronicsHero]

Concita 😂😂

[@danielharyop]

ESTONIA :(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

[@NierioPlays]

Iceland and Estonia are missing. I wanted them to qualify, but I couldn't vote last night, because I'm from Germany.

[@noaheurovision9715]

Same here! I cried because Iceland didn't passed

[@RandomRainbowEaters]

the crowd cheering 'MALTA MALTA MALTA' at the end

[@kuchciklol6975]

-And the last qualifier is... *estonia plz estonia* -... MALTAAAA! -omg wtf?! my yesterdays reaction

[@sebastiangillesberg]

Wtf why did Iceland not qualfied?

[@kristjanbakker4118]

The only reason I can think off is because it was coppy catting the swedisch performance of 2012 and 2015, but still verry unfair they did not qualify!

[@ioneljitaru8185]

+Sebastian Gillesberg Did u vote for Iceland?

[@rokovitic]

+Ionel Jitaru nice question everyone was complaining but no one vote

[@omi3090]

cuz the song is in English and no in Icelandic -feel magic- 😂 I'm just kidding lol

[@sebastiangillesberg]

+Ionel Jitaru Could not I'm from Denmark, but if I could would I

[@TurquoiseSnow]

9 of out of my top 11 made it!!! My top 3 of this year: Czech Republic, Cyprus, Armenia. Still shocked Iceland and Estonia did not make it :(

[@sylviastephanies1868]

Iceland and Estonia deserve better!

[@tonia3146]

Yes 😕😢 They were my favourite this year

[@antheafernandes4904]

Estonia and Iceland were robbed. Azerbaijan and Austria shouldn't have qualified. Shame on you Europe cuz you've sent home two brilliant singers who sang masterpieces.

[@evg2653]

+Anthéa Fernandes Austria is actually deserving FOR ME ,Her song is effective and that's what matters~ ..I kinda dont like Cyprus though. So i think Cyprus over Estonia and Iceland over Azerbaijan

[@antheafernandes4904]

+Miles Loon Estonia deserved to qualify. Jüri deserved to bring his beautiful song to the grand final!

[@evg2653]

Well yeh :p I like estonia more than cyprus and i like iceland more than azerbaijan so boom~ My dream qualifier is complete-o

[@tachibanana2999]

I loved Austria, but I agree with you on Azerbaijan. Malta was kind of underperforming as well. I'm crying right now because of Estonia and Iceland :(

[@rgl_p]

3:35 Petra's face is 'they're all cheering for Iceland but they aren't going through, oh god, i feel so sorry for them now...' Seriously though, did Greta, my actual Eurovision 2016 winner, get knocked out by Cyprus? Don't get me wrong, Cyprus were great but ICELAND WERE PERFECT

[@rgl_p]

Why did I say Cyprus? They were good. Fucking Azerbaijan stole Greta's place.

[@dimitrismavroeidis8205]

In the end, I thought she would say "The last qualifier is.." Iceland/Estonia/Greece and she said Malta -_-

[@MrsKoldun]

They put the names of the countries way too early in some cases. That took away a big part of the excitement.

[@RDrRD1989]

Good point.

[@legaciestr]

How can Iceland and Estonia not qualify? I am shocked...

[@legaciestr]

+LEONIDAS there is no need for that, I love you greeks. Your culture and everything. Sorry to hear that

[@BrunoBee100]

Tha Turkish Lip Synca of cource u love greeks because your country used to be part of greece. also u live greek blood because u made genocides

Χαχα αγαπητή είναι το σωστό:) πάντως από ότι βλέπω και χαίρομαι γι αυτό γνωρίζεις ελληνικά:) συμφωνώ μαζί σου κι εγώ δεν αντέχω τους ρατσιστές...δυστυχώς υπάρχουν πολλοί και στις δύο χώρες:(ελπίζω να καταλαβαίνεις τι γράψω!! If you don't understand what I am writing tell me to translate it in greek😄

[@vikyapostolopoulou4226]

+viky apostolopoulou in English lol^*

[@m.pellegrini2540]

So you introduced the voting with the jury and all the televote points combined, but you didn't introduce Andra Chansen so that Iceland can qualify?

[@eschungary2050]

[@tonia3146]

Where is Estonia? I feel sad for Jüri. Azerbaijan didn't deserve to pass to the Grand Final after Samra's bad vocals .. People don't know to appreciate good songs 😕

[@RDrRD1989]

I was sure Estonia would qualify :-(

[@BradyHuangful]

+Nia G. compared to her rehearsals, Samra sounds much better and she was actually not bad.

[@jeromelange7401]

[@emilijaskoco394]

ESTONIAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@ВладГайдалович]

i'am so sorry for Iceland, love you Greta from Belarus

[@paologjeli]

Everyone wanted Iceland and Estonia to pass (me too) Cyprus and Austria needed to stay in the semis for me...

[@paologjeli]

+Foxy ESC But i really like Azerbaijan 's song.

[@geminix365]

Cyprus was the best performance of the night alongside with Armenia...

[@tachibanana2999]

+Paolo Geli I liked Azerbaijan's song in the music video but I suppose it was autotuned to make it sound better. Would happily switch Netherlands, Azerbaijan and Malta out for Moldova, Estonia and Iceland.

[@brittanywatts6887]

am I the only one that was wondering why there was a lack of French in the contest.

[@rinafilya]

What about Iceland?

[@arvinugroho840]

would you like upload full show like last year?

[@geo3898]

I think they did

[@arvinugroho840]

yeah, it was.. they uploaded an hour after my comment

[@teresaching7310]

+arvi nugroho I think they have a stream on KZbin I beleive, so maybe you can save it or record or something?

[@Vinseurovision]

i'm so happy for The Netherlands!

[@rines6041]

I don't get why everybody's saying the netherlands didn't deserve to get trough. Douwe was the only good singer this evening.

[@muyischonell1077]

exactly he was the best of them all he's such a very classy and authentic singer/performer. proud dutchie

[@veronikaghazaryan1441]

I do like the song , it's an amazing one and he's really cool! Gonna vote for the Netherlands and Armenia! Hi from Switzerland

[@muyischonell1077]

+Veronika Vanetsyan thanks

[@lorelaim3294]

When there's only one spot left and you wanted Iceland and Estonia to make it and then you're like 'now there can only be one' and they fucking call for Malta

[@leahrowden3939]

0:20 “Azerbaijan!” Yes! It deserved a spot in the grand final! Gonna take a miracle!

[@pitchan3786]

Hungary become a pioneer of a qualifying nation for 5 year straight. Russia is the ONLY ONE! Take note! The Netherlands is slowing down and steady... To the Grand Finals. Azerbaijan be like: "OMG it's a miracle!" Croatia finds its guidance to the Grand Finals through a lighthouse. Austria is skipping away on a field of pink to the Grand Finals. Same as Malta but only above the water. Cyprus uses its alter ego to rock the stage and become a qualifier. Armenia seduces us to give her a lot of sexy points. and finally the Czech has a reason to celebrate! Well done!

[@winner2822]

Congratulations to the Czech Republic from Russia with love

[@Tiuchy96]

HUNGARY!

[@RyanKaluku]

My winners are :Russia,Malta,Iceland,Austria,Czech Republic,Armenia,Hungary,Cyprus,The Netherlands and Estonia /Bosnia & Herzegovina

[@idolpr]

Azerbaijan clearly asked for a "miracle" and got it. She was one of the worst vocals of the night. Iceland shouldve qualified instead

[@geminix365]

Staging matters, ask Mans, he won by the juries being 3rd in televote because of it

[@idolpr]

+geminix365 agree, though i do like mans song! But the Lights fire and sparks pulled votes for her and the backup singers did an amazing job too

[@royamlikzad8397]

I'm very happy for Azerbaijan.And where is Estonia and Iceland???
