[@Ge_Anth22]

Macedonia... Serbia... And Switzerland ?! Where are they ?? They were just perfect..

[@cdngiztoken]

bad stagings

[@johnachilleos424]

@@cdngiztoken Switzerland’s staging was actually good!

[@user-sx5fq6ol1c]

"We are lost in kiev...ah ah ah" "i will dance alone i am lost in the semi final until tomorrow" "i am failing so deep" these 3 countries were my surpise-non qualifiers :/

[@MikeAloud]

I feel so sorry for Serbia, Estonia, and Switzerland :'(

#JusticeForJana #JusticeForTijana #JusticeForTimebelle #JusticeForBrendan #JusticeForKoitAndLaura These should've been in the finals :(

[@escduncan6781]

Marius Rimmi Totally agreed :((

[@escduncan6781]

Marius Rimmi worst ESC ever

[@marnold733]

ESC Duncan I feel so bad for them :(

[@JanKlikaMusic]

Maybe justice for anyone else? :D

[@kartofelzkoperkiem8200]

Macedonia and Ireland were extremely annoying (especially Ireland with bloody Louis Walsh sitting next to his lolita) #NoJusticeForJana #NoJusticeForBrendan

[@GabyCyx]

I feel sorry for Estonia.

[@fanis1348]

Very sad for Estonia and Serbia...

[@thegoldenboy3799]

Fanis 13 and Switzerland

[@kristianberget6511]

Rip Estonia... Rip Serbia... Rip Macedonia... This was just too sad 😩

[@Dididamn]

Kristian Berget Weak voice Serbia, Playback Macedonia what were you waiting for?

[@snana2947]

Jake where the hell was serbia weak? If you just look at the vocals you can tell the she had one of the strongest voices in the competition this year! Where the hell was belarus (just vocally without shading anyone) strong in comparison to serbia???? It's just fact, that this competition is not anymore about music sadly. I personally think that serbia deserved a spot bc that was not weak vocally at all (just try to sing it like her if you don't believe me).

[@Fluggegecheimen69]

Serbia was shite

[@sparkypineapple6354]

Poor Brendan :(

And Rip Switzerland

[@kanehardy3539]

Macedonia, Estonia and Switzerland?! How didn't they make it?!

[@Lommy9999]

Kane Hardy No idea. And Serbia?

[@cicamaca5996]

Lommy Yes, Serbia was great.

[@serafeimx6194]

Kane Hardy Macedonia and Switzerland were awful live

[@escnoiz751]

Bad vocals

[@christianiaminigolfclub757]

Kane Hardy Their songs is too good for Eurovision. to win you need a terrible song like Portugal have this year or Ukraine last year :((

[@Yarshy.]

*HOW DID MACEDONIA, ESTONIA, OR SWITZERLAND NOT QUALIFY WTAF EUROPE I'M STILL RECOVERING FROM FINLAND ICELAND AND LATVIA OMGGG*

[@rubenpap9629]

Yusuf Because of weak performances which probably meant low scores by juries

[@escduncan6781]

Ruben Pap Finland , Switzerland and Iceland -weak performances?:D wut

[@rubenpap9629]

ESC Duncan I was talking about the other ones m8

[@mynnwoo]

Macedonia, Estonia and Latvia might fail for their poor live performance, and Iceland might fail for the song (though I like it), but I have no idea why Finland and Switzerland didn't qualify

[@birdiboombox6750]

ESC Lazar The difference would only be that instead of Denmark and Austria, it would be Estonia and Switzerland.

[@GrowingLamby]

I'm kinda sad that Serbia didnt qualify, still happy that Belarus and Bulgaria did. And I'm not suprised that my country didnt qualify, we had 0 chance. love from Lithuania

[@AGGIDilimanto]

Macedonia, Serbia, and Switzerland should've been in the final, dang it!

[@jo.p1288]

FYROM is

[@keitaro-kun2373]

I agree

[@polik1215]

Hungary, Croatia, Denmark, Austria and Belarus. You deserve it❤ Kisses from Russia 😙

[@imsilvia9667]

Switzerland should be on the final, what a shame, I have the feeling that it was the jury votes that didn't make them to the grand final. I will always follow apollo with you TIMEBELLE

[@catalinbotean2169]

And you were right. Switzerland was 10th in televoting.

[@cdngiztoken]

and Estonia literally was 6th in televoting, higher than NORWAY, DUTCH, AUSTRIA, AND BELARUS

[@mymimymilulula]

Estonia, Macedonia, Irleand, Malta, Serbia and Switzerland - I miss you now! :( This semi final was too hard!! Too many great vocalists and too many amazing songs!!

[@leohmondieu]

Estonia, Lithuania, San Marino, Ireland, Serbia, Switzerland, Macedonia, Malta deserved the final

[@EA-bg6po]

Switzerland and Macedonia was underrated

[@edz3669]

ESA ESC The croatia, norway is underrated u know???

[@edz3669]

ESA ESC The macedonia and switzerland were the mostly voted to be the winner bit the performance destroied this

[@MemoBosqueVEVO]

Nah, those were not underrated. Switzerland and Macedonia had great songs but they fucked them up with the awful staging.

[@MemoBosqueVEVO]

And yeah Norway and Croatia are finally getting some recognition, I'm happy about that :)

[@SonOfGod0600]

ESA ESC Lol Macedonia at least was so overrated I'm happy they didn't get to final with their cheap,old same pop song

[@sarad5220]

Austria and the Netherlaaannddddsss!!

[@kamillanga275]

SERBIA SWITZERLAND *MACEDONIA*

[@jo.p1288]

North Makedonia,Macedonia belongs elsewhere,you must learn History and after speak

[@nazacro]

All of you guys bashing Croatia, I'd like to see you sing that. The performance was perfect and he sang perfectly. Not my huge favorite, but it was absolutely spot on.

[@damonsgirllxoxo6829]

NaZa Productions Yes, he was good but..Macedonia, Serbia and San Marino was sooooo muchhhh betterrrr

[@nazacro]

damonsgirll xoxo San Marino? You're joking right?

[@damonsgirllxoxo6829]

NaZa Productions No..okay, San Marino maybe no😂😂 but, Macedonia and Serbia.

[@rubenpap9629]

[@josipsimlesa2882]

[@stephanfrs1221]

Such a big shame Europe.. Switzerland sent the best entry since years but you disqualified her... Shame

[@Lommy9999]

Stephan Frs true

[@kacpertrzcinski1069]

Stephan Frs I totally agree! Switzerland was one of my fav in the whole competition

[@robertbugeja8566]

Stephan Frs Maybe they should have had better staging

[@piko400]

The only unfair tonight. Switzerland deserved the final.

[@jerryberry5480]

Stephan Frs Even with better staging, Switzerland won't still qualify (Their neighbours aren't that nice to them) :(

[@martinpetrov2186]

I voted for them

[@MortenLongbottom]

Мартин Петров I voted for them too, Jana and Brendan were my favorites in this semis. But the surprising thing is that I voted for San Marino and Valetina received one point from Germany. Maybe I was the only one but I think it works.

My heart nearly stopped beating before Austria was announced. I am really sad about Ireland :( Goodbye, Brendan 😭

[@frideyvazov1018]

I really cried because of happiness of the Netherlands to qualify the final. Congratulations, girls. you really deserved it. And my personal opinion: Instead of Norway, Austria and Croatia... Estonia, Serbia and Switzerland should have qualified or even Macedonia should have qualified instead of Israel.

[@Scram_]

I was literally screaming Austria at my screen at the end. So glad he got through. Nathan looked so emotional when he qualified. Glad for Belerus and the Netherlands as well.

[@escturkey2646]

KERLI, IS THAT YOU ? 🇪🇪

[@dylanjones6591]

Croatia proved a lot of people wrong tonight deserved in my opinion

[@lizdragon8592]

NORWAYYYY! I am so happy they made it till the final!

[@le3571]

Congratulations to Hungary and Belarus. For showing a bit of their culture by their language and clothes. Definitely musics like these make Eurovision more rich. Coz i wanna know a bit of europeans cultures, not just a mainstream english music.

[@inellacruella9055]

Then you can listen do disco polo (polish music)
