The difference in Ireland from eurosong to now is amazing you can see how much work was put into it overall and i love it💚

Portugal was a pleasant surprise!

Hello Matt, we are so proud of Iolanda. It looks wonderful and she definitely deserves to qualify. Thanks for your lovely comments and second place 🔥🤍 Gooooo Iolanda 🇵🇹💚❤️

Thanks from Portugal 🇵🇹 🇵🇹 🇵🇹 ❤

Serbia 💜 and Portugal 🤍

Ireland and Ukraine are the clear winners for me based on the clips. Portugal also looks really good. I’m hoping the camera shots aren’t final yet because there are some bizarre choices. Cyprus is very hectic, Serbia and Moldova have unnecessary wide shots. The backing vocals are also quite loud in some clips. But overall, looks like a good semi final and also quite difficult to predict, especially in the middle.

Hi Matt, thank you so much from Ireland 😊

I think i've watched the Ireland snippet about 4 million times. Won the rehearsal day with EASE. We have barely even scratched the surface too... theres so much we havent seen. #crownthewitch

Based off that video, As an Australian I am confident that Australia is a NQ this year. Ireland on the other hand MUST qualify! That’s just pure Witchy Art and as a Wiccan, I love it!!! 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

My qualifiers for sure: Croatia 🇭🇷 Portugal 🇵🇹 Ucrania 🇺🇦 Serbia 🇷🇸 And good luck for the rest of coutries ❤

Ireland is my favourite, it's real art.

Thanks from Portugal ❤️🇵🇹

Thank you for understanding and giving the fair value to Portugal 🇵🇹 only few have the capability to do it.. the majority only can love commercial songs, and can't see the perfect beauty of our song.❤

Thanks from Portugal! Iolanda deserves your vote!

Portugal 🇵🇹🇵🇹

Portugal 🇵🇹 ❤

Thanks from Croatia.🤩🇭🇷

Hi, Thanks you for the lovely comments. The nets on the heads of the Portuguese dancers are there because the dancers are not "persons" but the inner demons and emotions inside Iolanda's soul and head, therefore they have no faces they are a part of her not impersonating "real people" on stage. If it is put like that I guess the masks make more sense because the interpretative dance is a complement and a visual interpretation of the lyrics 🥰 Love❤💛💚 from a Portuguese next to you in UK BTWy Ireland is my absolute favourite this year Love it ❤

Portugal is actually up to 9 in the semi final 1 qualification odds. Go Portugal ❤🇵🇹

Obrigada! Thank you. Go Iolanda! 🙂🇵🇹

Agree about Serbia, I need more closer shots of her, similar to Serbia stage, it is an emotional song so need to be more intimate ❤ Love Teya❤

Love you

Abraço de Portugal!

❤🇵🇹❤️

Teya Dora my favorite❤

I agree with your take on Poland. It's camp and that's what Eurovision is all about. I lovee it.

No RULES 🕺🕺

Matt, how do get the time to watch all these live rehearsals and videos? Do you not have to do a day job to pay the bills? Or are you a full-time KZfaqr?

Raiven has massive X factor on stage.. ❤️❤️ There are solid fine acts in this first semi, the weakest of semis this yesr, Oz, Slovenia, Bambi, Polska Ukraina

PORTUGAL ❤🇵🇹❤🇵🇹❤🇵🇹❤ So Proud our IOLANDA

I LOVE SLOVENIA 🤍💙❤️

Ukrainian here : Ireland needs to qualify, it’s perfection, i’ll be spam voting for it. Ukraine will prob be top 5, it’s really good but not a Stefania good. Jerry+AndA have to pull off a miracle to win jury+ tele vote over the other three amazing acts like Switzerland, Croatia and italy. Switzerland might win, but the costume choice has to be more intricate for it to happen. pink fluffy outfit is cute but too cute ( the dress from the music video was my fav)

But Croatia slays it !!!

I P O O L R A T N U D G A A ❤️❤️ L GRIIIIIIIIIIITOOOOOOO ❤️👌 Thanks Matt ❤️❤️

Croatia ❤ Vauu Fantastko ❤ My top 1. Croatia 2. Portugal 3. France

CROATIA ROCKS THIS YEAR. 🇭🇷

Baby Lasagna - A star is born 🤩

❤❤❤ Portugal

Crown the witch

Go Portugal ❤

Teya dora said that she doesnt like camera shots of her preformance and some light problems and alredy asked production to fix it and they didnt. She said she will keep asking and she hopes they fix it. She said she was stressed avout it and doesnt like how it looks. Servia is getting so much hate for it evan tho they have nothing to do with it. She said she wants closer shots of her face caus eshe wants to send emotion thru camera vut for some reason profuction put in thosr far away shots

BABY FROM 🇭🇷👍👍💥🔥💥💥THE BEST ❤🐈🐱🐈 Mijauuuuuu 🐈🐱🐈🐱🐈🐱🐈🐱🐈🐱🐈🐱

Wow Ireland what a rehearsal hands down beat rehearsal out of all the countries It was the only country that I had to re watch over and over it captivated the audience in the first 3 seconnds living to see the full performance it's my winner this year well done Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

Portugal qualifies!!! Grito is powerful!!!❤❤❤

Can’t wait to see Greece 🥲✌️🇬🇷🎲

Ukraine 🇺🇦 is SLAY - WINNER

Portugal have it all.

Lithuania my favorite❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

I love Hera!! Could be a SF1 Dark Horse.

stop complaining about the snippet choice 🙂. This is not the official recap. So of course they are not going to choose the best and more iconic part of every song. They need to increase the hype.

🇸🇮👍

So far Ukraine is the best of the SF 1

I’m scared for Australia based on the video

Poland❤🐎

Ireland to win

So far ukraine for sure the winner

ЛИТВА ❤❤❤🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹

Ukraine ❤🇺🇦

Cyprus 🇨🇾 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Finally the time has come to take the word "song" out of the Eurovision Song Contest!,,,,,,,,this year more than ever its all about STAGING......and yes i know that the contest was originally staged to show the developments in television,,,,,,,,,but i wonder which countries would qualify if they didnt have such expensive stagings.....................

I'm

The theme for this year seems to be Scifi and Fantasy. For me Ukraine is giving winner vibes from that clip, and Lithuania, Ireland (this was maybe the best clip with Ukraine), Finland, Croatia (camer angles were too shaky and messy so i got feeling this won't win), Portugal and Luxembourg are fairly sure qualifiers. The other performances were mostly good as well, but none of them is giving me sure qualifier feeling. Portugal imo is winning the "ballady battle" between Serbia and Portugal and Serbian being in second slot kind of makes me think it wont qualify. Iceland is maybe the only one im 100% sure won't qualify. Even Moldova has made such nice looking staging i won't fully count it out yet. I feel Poland entry being quite meh, but people are saying they qualify because of the Poland people living across Europe so idk. I would much rather have Slovenia qualify instead of Poland. Someone from the Moldova-Azer-Australia line up surely qualifies as it is near the end of running order. And all Windows95man "only beautifull women, and Spanish men are allowed half-naked" -haters are going to be disappointed when it surely goes to final, atleast after that clip as even w95man has improved his vocals, and they probably intentionally chose to show the start where Henri isn't singing much as he has improved even more since UMK final. Also the way he sings (or speaks) made it sound even more like fairytale/story, as it is kind of theme of the song if you spend some time trying to understand the meaning of the performance as it has quite deep meaning under the "funny joke" cover.
