I can agree there, lyrics too simple, in English and Croatian, but his voice quality deserved final atleast.
My winners ordered by my opinion on their chances:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
Rest of the songs not likely probably, but there is a lot of good songs tbh.

Roko's vocals were indeed fantastic but the song just wasn't good enough unfortunately

I think possibly tge song was picked as jacques houdek wrote it? But I like roko he's got a great voice but yep the song wasn't great and they said they would ditch those wings and they didn't...

I'm thibking Malta or San Marino to open the show? Sweden will close the first half and Norway will be 17/18. I think Netherlands will be 4/5 what you think.

Yay! We made it for once. I'm very happy! Luca's performsnve was good, but imo there was too much going on in the background and his vocals weren't the best. And I don't know what else I should write now, since I'm not very familiar with that.

It was a bit too screamy imo and if I'm being honest I completely forgot about her a few songs later. However I think both the vocals and the instrumental could've definitely used a boost.

She was unexpectedly good. However the staging was too colourful and the wkole thing was too happy for a break up song.

Despite her 0% qualification chance, I wouldn't have been surprised if the Sand artist made her going through somehow. But even that included too much "Stay".
Abd why wad Anna wearing a wedding dress?

She sung alright abd so was the performance. I think it's just the song that was way too forgettable and the draw right after Switzerland...

First of all, why is there that red chair?
Also the whole thing was too creepy abd she wasn't very good vocally imo. All in all I'm a little surprised by her elimination, but also really happy since I absolutely can't stand that song...

It was cute, but all in all she was much better in the preselection.
It's not the most surprising qualification either although it wasn't an obvious finalist.

It's an expected finalist. He was better in the preselection too.

For me this was too dark, but the lights were beautiful. However since I never thought she'd qualify I didn't really care.

Kitsch overloaded. My mum saw 10 seconds of it and really didn't like it already.
All in all we're both happy that he's out.

She sung good, but those moves at the drop lade me laugh out.
There were also too many chameleons padding by in the background.

First of all, I was so happy seeing Juri just standing there and nnot wearing anything too fancy. I found that incredibly refreshing.

Imo he was to be seen to many times. But vocally he did amazing (That long note at the beginning of the chorus. )

It was good, but imo too "alright". (if you know what I mean.)
I'm surprised she's in.

Idk, but it was a bit a disappointment...

He was good. There's not too much more to add.

Personally I didn't listen too carefully since I'm not the biggest fan. However I'm still happy for her (4th attempt) as well as the country for the first qualification after 7 years.

It's a modern track and so was the performance. I didn't like the lasers...

All in all I expected all the qualifiers except Denmark, Albania and Macedonia. From the others imo only stood a chance.

It's interesting how the complete 2nd half made it, while most of the first half are eliminated.

so this was very obvious, however I have to say I'm proud of Sarah, such an icon and a sweetheart and I'm glad she represented us.

Although now I hope our broadcaster will finally realize that it's not working.. 2018 was just an exception. But tbh, I'm surprised we even sent an act to Israel so hopefully RTÉ tries harder next year, but that's being too optimistic lmao

anyway let's go on with the rest:

I listened to her rehearsal and honestly after tonight she wasn't qualifying. It was a nice song and Srbuk is a good singer in general, but it just wasn't.... it

this just existed. The snow art just doesn't fit in with the song at all. Anna is a great singer but her song sounds like it's stuck in 2005

honestly I'm kinda over the song, but I can see why it qualified, although I'm not living for that performance. Happy for Switzerland though since they haven't qualified since 2014. Btw he's so hot oop sorry x

As much as I really like the song, it was just boring on stage. Honestly forgot about it, so qualifying wasn't happening honestly.

Now this was robbed. I just don't understand what happened. I will admit the performance at some times seemed a bit overstaged but Ester was amazing.. will miss it from the final.

Eh I like the song, but it's sickly sweet and I think this should've been left out imo

obviously lol, but I'm not mad over it. I loved the performance, so it was deserved

I love Paenda as an artist, but unfortunately this was just there. Nothing amazing for me, sorry. </3

There's no doubt that Roko is an amazing vocalist. However this song just _doesn't_ suit him at all. I'm glad it didn't qualify in the end because the song just sucked.




YASSS OMG WHAT AN ABSOLUTE BOP, so deserved and her reaction was priceless. Honestly so happy for Michela and Malta, she deserved it y'all, and I am living for that staging btw!

's televoting 12 I guess. This was so boring honestly, so I'm not sad to see it gone. Next

I don't know about you but this just doesn't seem authentic. Sergey can sing for sure, but this performance is just not good at all. But of course it would qualify, hopefully it won't be too overrated on Saturday

YASSS I changed my prediction at the last moment to put Albania in, I just saw it coming and she deserved it! Well done and I'm so glad we're seeing Albania in the final again with a song in Albanian tbh

Not bad, an obvious qualifier. Nothing bad to say about it honestly




need I say more? SNATCHED





omg I was so nervous during the voting window that she wouldn't qualify, but to be announced 1st.. wig. Out of all countries tonight I really cared for the most and she SNAPPED. Deserved and so happy for for returning to the final after 6 nqs in a row.

well it was an obvious qualifier, Chingiz is a good vocalist although I hate his falsetto lmao, also wtf was that AR during the performance? it made no sense. But not mad over it

sad for the most tbh.
can't wait for Saturday omg

[MG]

Oh this was so tense.

I literally cried after her performance, she gave it all, I am so happy this qualified, very deserved

well ofc, but you all know what I think about it

now that was really unexpected for me but YASSSS I love it, so glad she qualified this is a masterpiece

no comment

oh Cingiz made me wet. Really good song and performance and postcard

Well the song is good but I didn’t really wanted it in the final considering is still borderline together with this according to predictions...

well they snapped I love it too

ofc he qualified there was no way he could fail

Before the last qualifier was announced it was literally so nervous, for a moment I thought Malta wouldn’t make it... but in the end... it did
YASSS queen slay my winner qualified her reaction was priceless

These results are perfect (with few exceptions)

Very sad for Ester, she put a lot of effort and she was amazing, and now she is being blamed by Romanian fans... I hope she won’t pay attention to all the hate comments towards her.

Okay I know we had no chance at all and not even a good performance would save us, but I was cheering for her anyway and I am so proud of her. Too bad she didn’t go with a better song because her voice is amazing.

Special mentions: good song but the live was bad... and wtf was that empty arena at some point during her performance?
the song is good I still love it but it was an obvious NQ.

See you on Saturday. This is probably the best final ever, almost all my favorites qualified. Lots of amazing songs

[Vaios]

OMG AMAZING RESULTS AGAIN
Well I almost got a heart attack but in the end my favs made it

come thru
Obvs but I'm not complaining

Ok
The worst qualifier... good they're back in the final but why now

;_; good song but lacked on stage performance
lowkey liked them but expected


PS: Switzerland better be closing that final

[mimisthesc]

I thought this was going to qualify but that performance really did not help. It's a true pity because they apparently decided to go without a proper staging and all they should have done was just focus on her vocals and those were not even so good.
I mean, it was fun but it wasn't going anywhere and we pretty much knew it... I feel sorry for her as she'd have been an awesome shocker had she qualified...
A sand artist cannot save an entry and this was proven tonight. However it was not a bad performance and it lifted the song so maybe this could've gone through, had it been in the 1st semi final.
I still believe this is really good and he was great on stage. The reaction of the audience when he stepped on stage at the beginning of the song made me feel like he is indeed a contender to get a really decent position in the final!
It was just forgettable and especially appearing after a very up-tempo song that is among the fan favorites of the year, it was quite clear it wouldn't stand a chance.
I expected it to go through but as a borderline qualifier. I am surprised to see it staying out, although I was not the biggest fan of the song. The staging was actually good by the way...
Sweet song and nice to see her through, despite the fact I thought it was going to be left out. A lovely addition to Saturday's show I guess...
Very similar staging to Melodifestivalen (if not entirely the same) but that was to be expected anyway. As for its result, I just can't imagine anyone being shocked and neither am I
I loved the simplicity this had. It felt so beautiful and sentimental that it gave me goosebumps. Definitely a performance that they should be proud of, despite the outcome.
Maybe the best male vocalist of the whole year and although I am one of the few people who actually like the song a lot, I thought it wouldn't go through. His live performance made me think it could stand a chance for a little while but it was just really hard for it to proceed.
My #1 of the year is through and I had no doubt to be honest. Great staging, everything was on point. I thought they'd be the last qualifier and glad to have been proven right.
It's quite irritating how he sang about lions and the staging was as simple as it could get and didn't even include lions in the backdrop or something He was very good but it all felt really flat in comparison.
I was quite astonished to hear him being so good live. A great performance and a great staging. Will probably not be the winner but a decent final result is always possible.
One of the songs I had as a borderline qualifier, mainly because I was also personally hoping to see it qualify. I am just very happy she made it as the song is really beautiful and she was just perfect on stage!
Didn't expect the audience to get that enthusiastic about it to be honest but it is a typical Eurovision entry I guess. Not my cup of tea to be fair but well done for qualifying.
It felt nice, although a bit too dark for my taste. However, even if I didn't get 'winner vibes' from anyone so far, I guess this came closer than everyone else so far.
She absolutely nailed that performance! Well done to her for this beautiful moment. To be honest I felt like this quite 'overshadowed' Duncan just because she was too good to be real. Clearly one of the most deserved qualifiers of the night.
Really find the song annoying and the staging was just a bit too much with all this stuff going on but it was an obvious qualifier and he seemed to deliver vocally so well done!
