YAS my faves have made it Congratulations!
Happy for them too
would've replaced them with some other NQ's congrats tho 
this song is not my cup of tea, but the HoD and the country deserved to qualify!

the song grew on me
I had a feeling that it won't do well as in the odds
liked it, tho once again I was the only one from the NS juries to think that another song should've been picked.. I hope it escaped PQR

I'm not expecting to qualify so at least it won't sting as bad as the last two editions

Wasn't expecting that. I never know where male entries are going to place in this contest
Julian isn't going to burn out any time soon
Meh

Another song I came close to using in NNMC. Hopefully it doesn't AQ like Metro Boulot
Nice song, it's unusual
(They were still robbed last edition tho)
YESSSSSS BANGER!!!! Very well deserved, Domas
Very cute entry
Decent song. Happy Aleks is back after so long

24red R O B B E D The percussion is amazing
I never loved this song :\ . I can't imagine five of the other NQs finished below it
I find this really generic. Can't say I'll miss it
I appreciate what this song is going for, but it's messy
Cute song, but didn't really stand out to me
Strong "I sent the first thing I clicked on" vibes
Trashy and not paced well
- low key wish I'd given it more. Luiri has made me see Latvia's music industry in a whole new light
Nice song but feels kind of stale
Again I appreciate what it's going for but I just find it annoying

I am honestly never been more satisfied with the results. (8/10 making it through with other 2 not really caring a lot for and actual qualifiers being decent/nine anyways)
obvious Q's I would say and good ones
GLAD THIS IS IN, I was so scared this might end up in the nq zone which would be devastating knowing I cannot see Azerbaijan delivering something as good again
I am pretty sure this will make it but you never know, glad it did
YAAAS, I was worried a bit for it but it ended up fine in the end, best jens entry since he got France by far
San Marino really became a NVSC powerhouse, recent entries have all been hits and its qualification streak is justified
only Q I don't really agree with but it is still nice entry so I don't mind it

well I know I ranked this kinda high in the sp but that was the weakest sp anyways. I won't really miss this
pr I will miss this only I think and I don't think it's the strongest of countries I gave RotW points to anyways
it was cute and imo it is the weakest Latvian entry since Luiri took it so not shocked.
also robbed but oh well
I mean I don't really like this but I am still sad as Serbia didn't really qualify in editions and will probably have the longest NQ streak if Poland qualifies this edition (which probably will tbh). I think Serbia has quite a few good releases lately that can break the NQ streak so let's hope it happens
flagswizerland it was 50/50 for a qualification anyways, I feel it isn't the strongest swiss entry, RV snapped though
I know y'all hype this but still wouldn't be shocked if it made it which would kinda be a gag still but not shocked it didn't in the end.

I don't really have any comments for them since I expected both to NQ and its result was to be expected.

hey ya'll
Not surprised but this is probably the strongest entry of Hungary since Neon so great job.
Not my favorite entry from them but it was an expected qualification.
A great entry which made me like it more because of the replacement video.
Started growing on me during the voting period and I got it went through as it actually bops.
Expected qualifiers and definitely not a bad thing as they are clearly amazing entries.
Quite surprised with these two, especially San Marino, but I'm very happy for their qualification, especially Azerbaijan.
Started listening to it and I became addicted to it. Definitely deserved to qualify.
Expected, but the song slays overall.

   Quite expected non-qualification. But some of them don't deserve to PQR at least.
Not really the best running order for them, it made me be underwhelmed by them when I watched the recap. poor chante having to suffer 2 nqs with his rvs 
quite expecting this to at least sneak through, i really hope this won't end in the PQR
I kinda expected it, but at least don't make them PQR for sending something different. 

Honestly had not much complaints regarding the qualifiers considering that I found this semi weak. Congratulations to all the qualifiers! And I can't wait for a bloodbath second semi.

How did Russia and Tunisia fail??

[Vaios]

SPOILER: Click to show

I-- some of the most surprising semi-final results in the history of the contest (for me at least)

out?? I lowkey expected Tunisia to be the dark horse of the edition and finish top 5 but well.. 

finally qualifying again? congrats!

No surprises here but underrated bops

My qualification didn't surprise me but I don't take anything for granted.. thanks A LOT

Here are my thoughts for the first semi-final results:

First and foremost, when I see the first batch of qualifiers, they are all deserving, since they have a lot of variety in their song content.

Second, Belarus should've made the cut to the finals and take the trophy. Why? Just like the Albanian and Spanish entry for this edition, the entry shows the true legacy of hope, peace, identity, and most of all, unity.

And finally, I can all say that this contest is not crafted for favoritisms, masterpieces, and entry criticisms, but like I've said above, it tells us about how legacies are made to be remembered forever and never be taken for granted. Not only that, in terms of music, a song or artist's legacy can change one's lives for the better, as every song has a secret message.

From the Philippine delegation, congratulations to all the finalists!

I agree she shows the true legacy of hope, peace, identity, unity and european culture. She is the epitome of femininity and humility
She's an icon, a legend and she is the moment. Now come on now.
