[@elixir8165]

Joaninha Duarte shut up of wich country are you

[@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!

[@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

[@desanipt]

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

[@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!

[@sparklefox100]

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

[@valentindurchev5448]

Finland and Latvia didn't qualify?! Crazy people!

[@gg454lune]

Agreed. Finland was in my top 5.

[@class387productions3]

Finland was a bit boring

[@gxbealex]

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

[@Chippaponi]

I'm crying for Finland...

[@michabukowski3109]

Chippaponi i too, she should be in final :(

[@hundoria6744]

me toooo

[@alessandro102]

Chippaponi me too

[@michabukowski3109]

Matti Ryynänen i don't agree 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

[@Chippaponi]

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

[@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!

[@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]

He's acting autistic???

[@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 :(

[@ayloshmono]

Happy for Portugal and Moldova, sad for Latvia and Iceland 😭

[@RicardoFerreira-ok2di]

[@EthePanda]

[@blurrylocal3417]

[@verarodrigo99]

[@IvanIvanov-kp1fn]

Finland was robbed!!!!

[@Francisco835]

i love portugal from spain

[@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.

[@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!

[@przemek3100]

I'm very happy about Belgium and Poland but WHY NOT FINLAND? ;( It's a crime.

[@eethemaseun]

FINLAND AND LATVIA HAD TO BE THERE!!!

[@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!!

[@krystianwolczanskiconductor]

Salvador's reaction was the best Haha

[@undergrundmsp5690]

Krystian Wołczański gdzie ty masz salvador

[@krystianwolczanskiconductor]

No nie wiem... Może tak 2:18 ???

[@MortenLongbottom]

Krystian Wołczański I found it a little weird

[@daurdyr1269]

Hahah

[@heppolo]

*pretends to be shocked* ESC-version

[@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

[@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.

[@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!!!!

[@Maryann-sn2qh]

EUROPE PLEASE PROTECT THE PORTUGAL CHILD AND HIS SISTER THEYRE TOO PRECIOUS FOR THIS WORLD

[@ironicfangirl7446]

Maryann Bisharat I AGREE!!! OMG! They were so cute and FUNNY(the voting session, red carpet...)!

[@MegaMonstie]

[@iGaloshes]

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

[@tusanesc]

But his sister needs to understand that it's not about her tho

[@edvardskalva]

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

[@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.

[@alexsubmit2192]

PORTUGAL is pure ART

[@AnaSilva-rm7kd]

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

[@leonidasanastasiou5599]

[@princessofnorway1389]

WHERE IS FINLAND? IS THIS A FUCKING JOKE?

[@DynekPL]

KASIA MOŚ !!! GO POLAND!!!

[@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.

[@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!

[@filipzupec3767]

OMGG WHY NOT LATVIAA 😱😱

[@marccanetmartinez4938]

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

[@carmecladera8921]

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

[@jennys4562]

I'm so happy 'bout Moldova and Portugal

[@berkanchad3118]

WHERE IS FINLAND, LATVIA?

[@sorinstelian4395]

Berkan Chad at home

[@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.

[@pupsik566474]

Finland and Latvia should be in the finale!!!

[@blankabauer3820]

12 points to Portugal from Hungary. Pure art❤

[@violetataurina4902]

I'm soo happy for Cyprus, Belgium and Sweden!😍

[@3DSmile99]

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

[@KrystinaSilva]

Salvador face was priceless

[@namijunggodcat6976]

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

[@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

[@tonythelegend2794]

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

[@Steve_McMillen]

I think he can win!

[@EuanBCFC]

The song is absolutely appalling

[@Sjahko_]

HE FRICKING WON!!!

[@87leafar]

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

[@maryamsprouse2646]

GOOOOO PORTUGAL!!! His reaction was priceless😂😂😂😂

[@Frode0107]

Finland 😭😭😭😭😭

[@Frode0107]

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

[@mariamary2632]

[@directionerp2453]

[@ismaelhernandez5184]

Belgium is always the last to announce in semi-finals

[@jaimeewsanxheez1960]

[@yolk2288]

[@iglilime]

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

[@matildegoncalves8978]

Portugal! 💜 We're with you Salvador 🎉🎊

[@nicknameidono]

i'm sooo happy for Portugal but sad for Finland.

[@csongormagyari707]

I am feeling so bad for Latvia! :(

[@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..

[@ganshi8]

I'd take out Australia, Cyprus or maybe Belgium to let Finland in. Good for Portugal tho

[@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!

[@martyandiliona7078]

I'm happy because Cyprus passed to Grand Final!

[@samu3l19]

What an epic night, Portugal!

[@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

[@snowflower3282]

Salvador is so precious and also such a meme

[@slowbrodragon6951]

THAT THUMBNAIL THO!!!!! XD

[@malgorzataskibinska4766]

Poland 😍 thanks you Europe ❤

FINLAN ICELAND AND LATVI !!! WTF EUROPE ???!!

[@gabrielfernandes4205]

Congrats Salvador, you really deserved it. I'm rooting for you in the Final! I'm really sad to see Iceland and, in particular, Finland leave the competition so soon. Belgium, one of my favourites, was a bit of a disappointment, but I'm glad Europe gave it a second chance.

[@malinjohansson1744]

SALVADORS REACTION MY HEART MELTED ❤️

[@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!
