[@tinylittlejiji4136]

Van de Velde Emilie The names of the countries are in random order tho. So calm down, Belgium's song was great, she just needs to relax more!

[@Chippaponi]

[@Chippaponi]

Dear, it wasn't boring, it was mesmerizing.

[@littlequeensbitch5303]

Belgium be like: 'all alone in the danger zone for 3 years in a row...'

[@yuberini]

They got announced last every year thats right 😂

[@MLSoll]

The guy from Portugal is a living meme and I fucking love him

[@TeuberCZ]

JUSTICE FOR FINLAND!!

[@steliospapas7150]

Amazing voice, but boring song. Thats all

[@TeuberCZ]

The staging, her emotions, it was amazing..

[@jorval8223]

So happy for Portugal, Belgium and Azerbaijan! Finland was robbed!

[@desanipt]

That thumbnail though ahaha He's reaction was way too funny xd

[@oddinss2022]

Portugal's reaction is the best xD

[@RitaSantos-kf4jv]

Dani Garcia Martín-Romo you're so annoying, bye

[@angelaghinda7121]

Bravo,Moldova! Sunteti foarte buni!

[@ilicarriedoll2843]

Олька Кипарина my fav reaction too

[@natalia9473]

Олька Кипарина No -.-"

[@bryhadenko]

I think, no 😒😑😕

[@gxbealex]

Where is Finland? WHERE IS FINLAND? I can't believe it.

[@wise588]

I'm gutted that Finland didn't get through it was beautiful and the piano was outstanding

[@ddraven3180]

I'm going to make stickers with "I'm sorry I was born deaf" on them and give them to anyone who didn't vote in Finland.

[@Natka16k]

The piano was a magic. I can't believe they are not in the final. Love the song. So sad :(

[@ilonaaleksandrowicz6107]

I love Salvador's reaction

[@angelikajoanna3817]

Ilona Aleksandrowicz He's so cute 😊

[@liloaleks4702]

I must say that Salvador's song wasn't my favourite but I really liked his voice since the beginning. Yesterday he created a fantastic atmosphere and I felt his emotions, later I watched interviews with Salvador and his sister. They're so lovely, funny and smart, they must be top3 in the final!

[@tomcosta9507]

I think I would have reacted like this too besides I am Portuguese myself

[@a.z.a931]

For the first time in 6 years Portugal qualified!! Well done and good luck for the future! ♥ From UK!!!

[@poopers197]

[@user-br7dp4yw5g]

[@sparklefox100]

So glad that Portugal and Moldova made it!! 🇵🇹🙌🇲🇩

[@Stephan1988]

Greece, Poland and Sweden the best.. Finland mostly and maybe Georgia should be there instead of others. Anyways good luck to the winners.

[@carolinekristiansen5181]

MrPureJustice Greece wasn't on key tho! Cyprus was amazing it sounded like the studio version and the staging was great!

[@escnoiz751]

[@iGaloshes]

MegaMonstie! I'm glad you joined us in our celebration! Go Portugal!

[@tusanesc]

[@karlbrandt3729]

Poland and Portugal. Only qualifiers that dont make me angry thinking of Latvia and Finland deserved a spot in the final.

[@Francisco835]

i love portugal from spain

[@Yarshy.]

*HOW DID FINLAND LATVIA AND ICELAND NOT QUALIFY WHAT EUROPE*

[@recycle-bin-camp]

cuz of jury?

[@Yarshy.]

I THOUGHT THAT THE JURIES WOULD SAVE FINLAND AT LEAST!! OMG IM SO HURT AT HOW WE WILL NOT HEAR THEIR QUALITY SONG AGAIN ON SATURDAY :((

[@magdalenakrasteva7137]

Yes, I agree with you!

[@gabudovx6913]

Yusuf Bcs idiots don't understand the messege of the song.

[@miska2177]

Europe has spoken, the best got through. End of that no need to cry and share your pointless opinions.

[@pedron.507]

I'm so happy about Portugal! They have finally qualified since 2010 GO PORTUGAL 🇵🇹🇵🇹

[@millie3228]

Pedro N. not only did they qualifiy they won

[@gamerboi-ag132]

[@hundoria6744]

yaaas and Georgia,Albania,Iceland

[@raimondsostrovskis1958]

I'm from Latvia and I am not surprised that we did not qualify because there were realy strong countries in first semi-final. However I was hoping that Finland would qualify. I feel sad for them.

[@rubychiang229]

The boring songs are the Grand Final and so Francesco has chance to shine!!

[@blurrylocal3417]

I'm sad for Finland and Georgia :( They should be in Grand Final instead of Australia and Cyprus. But anyway I'm so proud of Poland. Kasia, you're the best!!!

[@dunkslam89]

Finland and Latvia are literally robbed! I'm very disappointed for this crime!!!! What a shock! I've seen all the full performances and i have to admit it.... Italy is brutally back, guys!!! In my humble opinion, Portugal and Italy in a fair battle for the final win!

[@princessofnorway1389]

WHERE IS FINLAND? IS THIS A FUCKING JOKE?

[@petartaslak380]

finland people why??

[@JanJuliusss]

Petar Taslak this is a joke

[@TheGoaBase]

i can't believe what happend with Finland

[@joanimv8755]

Petar Taslak :(

[@nilerra8181]

Petar Taslak It doesn't have diaspora unlike Poland or Greece. It's a shame

[@eurovisionfan_1]

nil erra as a Greek, we have proved that it doesn't have to do with diaspora. Last year we were terrible for the first time and we didn't quality. Stop saying bullshits. Belgium doesn't have diaspora but passed.

[@verarodrigo99]

FINLAND, LATVIA, ALBANIA, ICELAND, GEORGIA... My heart is with you ❤

[@user-ix7ll9pi6t]

People please. No need to create drama! We can't agree on every song. We have different opinions and thats fine. People voted, juries voted. Now stop and enjoy the show!

[@angelikajoanna3817]

Miss Boo Thank you for saying that😊, sadly, people will not stop that fast. They have their 'opinion' and they need to say it loud.

[@IvanIvanov-kp1fn]

Finland was robbed!!!!

[@alexsubmit2192]

PORTUGAL is pure ART

[@lucasmanuelfernandez161]

I'm so happy; I have vote for Cyprus Moldova Portugal and Belgium and all of them are in the Grand Final 😊😊😊

[@inespeachy]

[@user-zo6jc9ku3v]

Lucas Manuel Fernández thank you for the vote.. from Cyprus ❤

[@lucasmanuelfernandez161]

Your welcome I think that is so original ,not a copy of Russia and Loïc like people say; good luck on Saturday

[@ESCStroopwafel]

I really expected Latvia and Finland to make it. But seeing Portugal still makes me very happy

[@ESCStroopwafel]

I like how he made this (O.O) face when he was announced

[@ddraven3180]

As a Portuguese fan I only have one thing to say... Finland should have gone through!!!!! Norma John was perfect. I would take the over any of the 10 qualifiers.

[@larsnanders]

DDRaven Greece and Cyprus were shitty...

[@cgrtaft1656]

mikuskiki does it hurt?🇬🇷❤🇨🇾

[@veraps.5176]

musicmorelikedrug It seems so!!!!

[@konstantindeheljan7455]

All my favs are in the final Portugal , Belgium , Moldova and Azerbaijan ❤️ i only wished Latvia was in though 😢

[@pupsik566474]

Finland and Latvia should be in the finale!!!

[@carmecladera8921]

I'm so happy for Portugal but so sad for Finland :(((

[@DynekPL]

KASIA MOŚ !!! GO POLAND!!!

[@MBD12367]

Of course Australia made it to the final just because it's Australia. Finland should be there instead.

[@charlieharrison8511]

The EBU's baby, what do you expect.

[@NtvBulgaria]

MannyAnia And Sweden qualified because it's Sweden. So many meaningless songs this year qualified. "I can't go on when you look this freaking beautiful." Seriously?! And where are Albania, Georgia and Finland? Stuck in the semi-final U N D E S E R V E D. 😭

[@charlieharrison8511]

Albania was very average, I thought and also off key at the start. Georgia performed in the dreaded no 2 slot and Finland defo deserved to be in the final.

[@marialove4106]

MannyAnia are you kidding me ? So azerbaijan was better that Australia ? Please..

[@gioiori234]

NVideos I think the same as you, Belgium, Australia and Sweden were very bad, but Georgia was excellent

[@AnaSilva-rm7kd]

Thankx evryone who voted for Portugal..pls vote for Portugal again in saturday..vote for quality

[@leonidasanastasiou5599]

If Portugal win i will come to Portugal next year ! Kisses from Cyprus :)

[@berkanchad3118]

[@sorinstelian4395]

[@NetherlandsEsc]

To be honest Finland deserves the final more than Belgium and Australia if you look at the performance

[@ddraven3180]

So true!

[@NetherlandsEsc]

Charooo Yes it's an amazing song

[@marioconka2478]

NetherlandsEsc Agree, and also Georgia deserved the final

[@pioneerloveesc9133]

NetherlandsEsc Agree

[@nilerra8181]

NetherlandsEsc They deserve it more than Greece or Poland.. Belgium and Australia made it with no diaspora..

[@boriasborias]

Thank you Portugal for singing in portuguese with good poets and writers. Real courageous to assume your real identity. You gave a good gift to Eurovision.

[@edvardskalva]

When they said Cyprus... I just couldn't I knew that Finland and Latvia weren't qualifying at that point.

[@filipzupec3767]

OMGG WHY NOT LATVIAA 😱😱

[@marccanetmartinez4938]

FINLAND AND LATVIA??? Where are? What a shame... Finland is a masterpiece 😢Latvia was gorgeous and funny😪😪

[@ljames2791]

Love Portugal and Belgium she had so much emotion when she got through

[@blankabauer3820]

12 points to Portugal from Hungary. Pure art❤

[@Frode0107]

[@Frode0107]

My favorite of the first semi final. Can't believe it 🙁

[@mariamary2632]

[@tonythelegend2794]

The portogese guy, Salvador, is a legend! Hope he wins.

[@Steve_McMillen]

[@EuanBCFC]

The song is absolutely appalling

[@Sjahko_]

HE FRICKING WON!!!

[@giadf9747]

I cannot descrive the joy from my heart to hear that Portugal is qualified to the semi-final! I vostri fratelli da Italia con voi!

[@maryamsprouse2646]

[@violetataurina4902]

[@ismaelhernandez5184]

Belgium is always the last to announce in semi-finals

[@jaimeewsanxheez1960]

I'm crying for Finland😭😭🇫🇮💓💓

[@KrystinaSilva]

Salvador face was priceless

[@iglilime]

OMG! can't believe that Albania and Finland didn't make it 🇦🇱🇫🇮😥😥😥😥😥😥

[@3DSmile99]

I'm happy that Poland is in the final but sad because of Finland and Latvia :/

[@87leafar]

Omg the Portuguese song deserve SO MUCH the final my absolute favorite 😍

[@ArmpitOfEurope]

Some comments here are just funny. People, stop blaming Belgium, Greece, Australia and Cyprus because your favourites FAILED. They failed for a reason. Stop being miserable and respect that this is what most people wanted. End of story!

[@eatme8571]

Eurovision. A place that tears all hopes apart.. No, but seriously. So crushing and heartbreaking to see our dear Finland, Georgia and Latvia go like that. I love the Belgium song and i will say this forever. BUT, her vocals were quite off tonight. I don't care if it's technical or just a personal issue. Whatever. I am just glad i can watch Imri (my husband) perform in the Second Semi Final. To all of the countries yet left to perform in the second semi, please don't bring your hopes too high. It's honestly the only way to do good in Eurovision. SO many GREAT songs in the Second Semi final and yet.. Only 10 remain to go through. This is SAD.

[@csongormagyari707]

I am feeling so bad for Latvia! :(

[@namijunggodcat6976]

I'm crying a lot for Georgia and Finland...//but Portugal Moldova Sweden and Cyprus are go to grand finals yay~~

Poland 😍 thanks you Europe ❤

[@yolk2288]

Thank you very much from Poland Europe!!!

[@Ponggi96]

Georgia and Czech Republic instead of Australia (boring song, but talented singer) and Belgium (awesome song, bad live performance). Portugal, Poland, Armenia and Czech Republic were the best I think.

[@Amariaze]

If you took only televote, Czech Republic and Australia are not in these semi final top 10. These country are just in jury's top 10

[@filip3165]

Why Europe, why !!! :(( Why Finland ? Why Island ? :(((

[@ChrisThomas_]

Iceland 🇮🇸 and Latvia 🇱🇻 where are you???? 😭😭

[@Mixalis2233]

to all the haters: look who is in the final CYPRUS!!!!!!!

[@janex7127]

Cyprus doesnt deserve that place in the final ... finland/latvia/albania should have been there

[@Mixalis2233]

Xccelerator I don't think so ... Finland song was good but too boring ( for funerals is good ) and Latvia singer couldn't sing at all.

[@janex7127]

Hovigs performence was a flop! albania should have been there :3

[@Mixalis2233]

Xccelerator Albania actually could win .. In a scream festival!

[@fbkawan]

REMEMBER GUYS... this is SONG CONTEST not Singing contests...And majority voters is teenagers...they like young singer like Isaiah, brendan, kristian...sure this teen kan make it to final

[@Jomaalespe]

Now that Finland is out I will vote for Portugal. Gon on Portugal!!!!
