My reaction: - Obvious jury wildcard. Also because of the neighbors and so why not? - I thought people were going to forget this because of the Ho Hey resemblance. I could not have been more wrong. - I actually like this song. And good on them for singing in their native tounge. - Just.....no. This doesn't belong in the final. This belongs in a Sony alarm clock. - Quite an improvement from last year. - I'm calling it right now, this will get some TikTok tracture. - MY NEW WINNER!!! - Yeah, that was expected. They should be able to place, if not win on Saturday... - I was pretty surprised by the performance, a bit of a shell to hide this meh song.... - FANTASTIC!! Now this has to get votes on Saturday.... - I'm sorry, but those vocals were disappointing. - THAT SHOW!!!! I thought they were going just off that alone, but no... - Bye... - Eh, improvement on last year, but let's face it, would they have gone just off that performance? - Ditto. - I'm quite debated on why they didn't make it, was it the swearing, or just the fact that they're Latvia? - Bye... Wow, what a weak semi. Hopefully Thursday is better.

My reaction: - I'm quite debated on why they didn't make it, was it the swearing, or just the fact that they're Latvia? If people are singing the song along like they did, then clearly the lyrics are not the issue... I mean Israel won in 2018 with a song that had swearing. Even bookmakers, despite not believing in the song at first had placed us as the qualifier in the last week before Eurovision, so again - the song and performance wasn't the problem. We didn't qualify because of multiple reasons, one of which is that we're Latvia (don't try to pretend that it doesn't matter which country you represent). It's been a few years now, when people say we'll qualify, but we end up last in the semifinal (2017, 2021 as the best examples). And like I've said before, I won't be surprised if we'll be last in the semifinal this year again... people just forget to vote for us despite enjoying our songs. The only people that usually do vote for us is our friendly countries - this year we only had Lithuania as one, which already was a red flag to our qualifying chances, then the #2 in running order, which we know is the "luckiest" number in Eurovision... there are a few more minor reasons I could name, but it really won't make difference. We as a country are fighting the windmill each year we apply for Eurovision. And it takes something special to beat that windmill... there are a few more countries with a similar story...

I actually didn't mind the swearing, I just thought some people would be put off by it, but I knew the EBU wouldn't say anything. In fact I had your country as a surprise qualifier, so I was shocked that you didn't make it. (Same problem last year)

My reaction Semi Final 2: - A bit boring, but I kinda see his appeal. - I heard the press room LOVED this performance, and I can't blame them. They truly served. - He was actually surprisingly good, so there's that. - FUCKING BEAUTIFUL. Why do you think this was an improvement? - YES!!! I knew they stopped sucking last year. - He also SERVED. Also an improvement from last year. - WELCOME BACK!!! - LET'S FUCKING GOOOO - Hated the song, was mildly shocked by the performance. - WHAT A CLOSE CALL!!! I thought this wouldn't make it, imagine my relief.... - What was that I said about revamps? - Bye... - I'm pretty mixed on this song. The performance wasn't half bad either, it was just meh.... - Don't make me ask if people were turned off by the kiss. Just....don't. - LOVE the song, performance was blah. Surprisingly that wouldn't save their hot streak. - THAT WAS GOOD THE CROWD LOVED IT WHAT THE FUCK - Oh Goddess, what happened? Song sounded promising, then just like that.... - Won't lie, I was conflicted on this one. Not the best performance, might I add. So what the fuck did I tell you about this being the stronger semi??? Can't wait to see or win on Saturday!

This upsets me on so many levels tbh. Not the fact that won, but the amount of points they received from the public. Did they deserve to be in the top 10? Yes. Did they deserve to win by that margin? Under no circumstances. I would say keep politics out of Eurovision, but I guess it is already way too late for that. Shame on everyone who voted for because they wanted to show they’re support. This is not the way to do it!

Thoughts on results This was not surprises but at least they got points this year What happened this was great, idk if it was because it was in Breton or if the style of song. But this is such a shame to be put second last I like this but did expect it to be low which is a shame Another good song forgotten possibly because of being the first song but deserved better This was a meh from me so don't have much to say. This was grower, but other factors lead it to not getting many points like a lot of other countries in the contest this year should of been lower they were better songs This grow slightly for me, so i saw it as more of middle place finisher Surprised this was here good vocals just not my type of music This was saved by the juries in both the SF & GF. But vocals where good 2nd in the SF, 15th in Final and how did we only get 2 points in the final like what is Europe on this year. Thankfully this at least did well which im happy about Another that im glad did well Surprised this wasn't top 10 or top 5 but I think we know why Another song that people thought was a contender for the win and yet it finished 11th top 10 deserved result is was a good song and show to watch Very happy this was top 10 I didn't think it would do well but happy it finished high Thought this was going to win the juries at one point but it was a deserved result I'm actually surprised the public loved this I thought its Staging was pretty lack luster but song is good Just shocked it came Second in the Televotes in the GF At least the host country did well and rounded out the top 6. otherwise really good result really happy this did well the jury weren't as set as the public but had enough points to finish 5th but a deserved result Honest the only time I wanted Sweden to Win and it doesn't I would of been fine if they did. This should have 100% won, they is absolutely no good reason it shouldn't have won. Sorry Not Sorry They best result in like 30 years, wasn't a fan but at least they got away from the bottom 5 this year Ok I like the song but, was it a winning material Absolutely Not. The public vote was the biggest political blunder in the history of the contest. Where were the Public when Georgia was invaded, where were uses (Depending on which side your on) for either or . This was literally sympathy points for Ukraine plain an simple and if anyone disagrees I am not backing down from what I said. I support Ukraine 100% in the war. However I'm not going to give them special treatment in a contest.
