Lithuania is so sensual, feminine, matching to her song. I'm so happy that she will be in Grand final, I thought Europe wouldn't appreciate this beauty! It has positive, retro vibes, from some happier times where everything was more simple. Good luck from Serbia❤😍 I'm sad for Slovenia...I like their song so much♥️

[@keitaro-kun2373]

It's one of the worst songs in the semi-final in my opinion, it shouldn't have qualified, but i respect your opinion

[@lilianac4728]

Netherlands, UKi, Moldova, Portugal, Ukraine, Armenia and Denmark were my favorites🙂 Good luck to All!!!

[@brczd]

It was the worst of the night with Slovenia. They didnt deserve the final spot sorry.

[@waryartist8232]

I loved Moldova's instruments but found the repetition of their lyrics tiring.

[@jomarieblanca5197]

@@brczd first time or just deaf/ blind? either way it's literally the most entertaining out of all the entries. the crowd and televoters love it because it's the definition of EUROVISION.

[@jomarieblanca5197]

@@waryartist8232 it's the chorus so it's repetitive. the verses are different. and it's catchy intended for the crowd. unlike Circles by Andrea which the first and second part of the song is just the same.

[@Fatima502]

It was a lovely, exciting show. The only disappointment for me was Mika's speech about the contest. We know he hasn't always been a fan, so that would have been better coming from Alessandro or Laura.

[@dramaticScar]

What did he say?! And when?!... I watched the contest erroneously with commentary
