Oh hey, we've sent an entry that doesn't completely suck!

I mean...it's not great and not a memorable song at all (ballad #12324) but she has a decent pair of lungs.

 

[Darkroronoa]

Italy has easy win this year

 

[oti]

I'd rather see Portugal win over Italy tbh.

 

[KraftyKrankins]

Italy's soo gonna be a top 5 at least.

 

[kottila]

Easiest win to predict in years, unless 4chan votes in moldova

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I'd rather see Portugal win than Italy tbh.

I agree

 

[His Majesty]

She broke the law. What more do you need to ban her?
You fell into Russia's trap just like that? Come on.

Trap? Both Ukraine and Russia handled the situation in a very shitty way and the ultimate decision to ban her was rightfully criticized by the EBU.

Don't fight your wars in Eurovision.

You want the Ukraine to ignore its own law for Eurovision?

Yeah, portugal first, italy second and montenegro thrird place xD

 

[NewDust]

JOS will never not be awkward on camera.

 

[Jasup]

So, epic sax guy and the horse

 

[oti]

Qualified for the Final: NOT THE HOSTS

 

[Jamie OD]

Saxophone and horse for everybody!

 

[Parham]

Fuck yeah, Moldova.

 

[Apzu]

Horse and sax, finals are looking good

 

[RocknRola]

Oh snap, we're in! :O

 

[Hellraider]

Sweden ugh

 

[KraftyKrankins]

No shit Swedish Christian Grey's gonna make it in.

 

[RoadHazard]

Good I suppose, there would probably have been riots in the streets here in Sweden otherwise.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Portugal and Epic Sax Guy Band <3

 

[UtterlyPerplexed]

Portugal in the finals. This is a sight I'm not used to and I'm not complaining at all.

 

[Apzu]

How many years since Portugal went to the finals?

Edit: 7 years, wow

 

[kiguel182]

Portugal!

 

[Hellraider]

Portugal in the finals. This is a sight I'm not used to and I'm not complaining at all.

Don't be surprised if Portugal gets a high place in the final.

 

[RocknRola]

Its still so silly to see Australia randomly in this thing lol But hey, 3 finals already! Good on you guys!

How many years since Portugal went to the finals?

2010 was the last time.

 

[whoszed]

None of the good songs go to the finals. Why am I not surprised. God what bullshit. Well to be fair there was like 2, maybe 3 decent acts.

 

[Darkroronoa]

wow i did not expect cyprus to pass.

 

[Apzu]

Cyprus? What?!

 

[Red Arremer]

lmao of course Cyprus qualifies with Greece and Armenia in the same semi.

 

[Lender]

Thank God we made it through.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I hope Belgium has more luck on Saturday

 

[hobblygobbly]

MONTENEGRO AND LATVIA WERE ROBBED

 

[Humidex]

Belgium? Eh?

 

[SecretMoblin]

good songs lost

 

[88random]

I was just about to say that I'm ok with all the songs that went into the finals and then fuckin Belgium comes along...

 

[Red Arremer]

Belgium? Wow. Wow. Wow.

 

[His Majesty]

Third year in a row Belgium gets announced last as the finalist

fuck you eurovision

 

[timshundo]

I'm throwing a eurovision party on saturday, how would i put together a betting pool? I have everyone bring ~$5, put it in the pool, get out a whiteboard, have them put their name next to the country they think will win, then the people who bet correctly win/split the winnings. Does that logic check out? Am I missing anything?

 

[Hellraider]

Montenegro is out waaaaa

 

[KraftyKrankins]

Glad to see Belgium pass. I still have hope for her to muster up a better performance next time.

 

[Tugatrix]

Goodbye pony tail guy

 

[Darkroronoa]

I wanted montenegro to qualify for the memes :/

 

[NewDust]

8 ot of 10... Pretty good

Armenia yes
Azerbaijan yes
Epic sax guy 2.0 yes
Georgia nope
Poland by virtue of it being sung by the contestant with the best voice yes
Sweden by virtue of it being Sweden yes
Australia by virtue of it being Australia yes
Greece by virtue of it being the most Eurovision song yes
Portugal... Let's hope yes
Monetegro... Who knows?!(JK, Albania will takes this spot.) nope

 

[Apzu]

9 out of 10 is not that bad, my only mistake was Iceland instead of Cyprus

 

[UtterlyPerplexed]

So I guess the rule is: don't dress like Germany 2016 or Latvia 2017 if you want to get anywhere in Eurovision.

 

[MrPanic]

Meh semi-final. Here the songs that stood out to me:

Belgium - Nice song, poor performance
Azerbaijan - Weird, but nice enough
Portugal - Clearly the winner of this semi-final
Greece - To me the most catchy of the generic euro lady singing songs
Moldova - Not enough meme, but please have fun songs in the finale
Cyprus - Very ripoff, but catchy nonetheless
Armenia - Most impressive singing imo

Only those 7 stand out to me as probable finalist. Special shoutout to Montenegro, keep whipping that ponytail.

FLAWLESS VICTORY BABY!

I'm content with these picks for the final, hopefully next semi-final will be a bit stronger.

 

[oti]

Great results.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

but emma frost!

 

[Jasup]

Well, that's that

 

[SigSig]

Thank god Portugal and Belgium are in. I hope Blanche manages to pull it off in the finals, at least.
Montenegro not making it is some bullshit.
