So professional! Congratulations Portugal!!!

Wonderful job to the hosts! A massive improvement from past years. Wonderful!!

Wow, Lisbon is a beautiful and sunny city. The hosts are amazing and very funny! Eurovision 2018 will be a great show, I hope! Well done, Portugal!

I think these hosts will be pretty fun in May.

The hosts are great especially the one in the white dress!! loved her

23:01 "Are you ready?" "No" I LOVE THESE HOSTS!

Great Hosts!! This is going to be one of greatest Eurovision in Portugal🇵🇹 So excited✌ Good luck to all😉 #allaboard

Filomena, so natural, exactly as I expected her. Sílvia still needs to work on her English accent but she's also good, hopefully they'll keep the show exciting but a bit more organised than last year

"Where's the beach ? Put me the cream" ICON in the making ahahahah

The hosts are amazing❤

19:43 RTP CEO: "We have the most beautiful presenters ever" Filomena Cautela: "That's true! That is true! ahah love her

Very good presentation, very professional and enjoyable! Congrats!

Love these 2 already

Welcome to Portugal Europe!

"WHERES THE BEACH? PUT ME THE CREAM" Filomena

So many people saying that Silvia looks like Petra Mede. But seriously is it just me or Filomena Cautela looks exactly like Pastora Soler?

Silvia reminds me so much of Petra Mede 😁 really enjoy her kind of “blah blah blah... oops am I talking too much?? Yes... well, I don’t care” attitude

I know you were nervous girls, but you did a great Job!

Good luck to all participants.!!!!🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

Design is great! I love it 😱❤️❤️

I am so proud to be born and raised in Lisbon! All aboard ;)

Semi-final 2 is going to be a bloodbath

I just love Filomena Cautela

10 countries of semi 2 added together have 4 non-qualifications in the past 5 years!! Russia(0) Hungary(0) Ukraine(0) Poland(0) Romania(0) Netherlands(1) Sweden (0) Norway(1) Australia(0) Serbia(2)

Denmark, Norway and Sweden united in the second semifinal... Well, that's gonna be interesting! Skål, fellow Scandinavians! And good luck! 🇩🇰🇳🇴🇸🇪

Cyprus' chances of getting to the final just got a whole lot better

Semi Final 2 is going to be exciting

“Ukraine, of course!” FILOMENA IS PSYCHIC.

Cyprus and Greece are both in Semi-Final 1. That is not good

remember there is no country guaranted to qualify remember turkey failing armenia greece so pls stop saying semi 2 is harder..im sure there will be new surprises

Greece and cyprus together again!!!!!🇨🇾🇬🇷

The mayor of Kyiv is so tall...

All these people are like Oh this country or that country won't qualify... Please shut up. Good songs qualify no matter what Semi-Final you're in... It will be harder for some countries ofcourse but it's way too early to judge

So far my geopolitical prediction (in a random order) for the qualifiers is: ⚫Bulgaria ⚫Belgium ⚫Azerbaijan ⚫Israel ⚫Austria ⚫Armenia ⚫Cyprus ⚫Croatia ⚫Greece ⚫Lithuania ⚫Russia ⚫Denmark ⚫Romania ⚫Australia ⚫Norway ⚫The Netherlands ⚫Sweden ⚫Hungary ⚫Poland ⚫Ukraine

In the second semifinal there are left just 5 places because :Sweden, Russia ,Ukraine ,Australia and Romania will qualify 100%

Maybe Cyprus or Switzerland will win the eurovision song contest this year !!

Kinda feel sorry for San Marino.

Lisbon ❤️For me the best city in the world

Im really happy with Ireland this year. Were in the 2nd half, meaning we could qualify because people might remember our performance😂

39:58 I can't stop seeing this part

0:43 When you release that Filomena say Ukraine of course

ITS GONNA BE SO AMMAZING!

I kinda feel like the 2nd semi is a little stronger.... Hungary,Russia,Sweden,Australia, Ukraine..... It's going to be a blood bath. But I'm kinda happy, because since I live in Germany I can vote for all my favourites in the 2nd semi. Gonna be good, guys! :D

0:44 Did she literally just say that... I really interpretated that wrongly

0:44 uKrAiNe oF cOuRsE

Also me thinks semi 2 is the more difficult one with 5 100% qualifiers in there I think!! Semi-1 has 3 only !! The draw again failed to separate Moldova and Romania ; Greece and Cyprus ; Armenia and Azerbaijan

Ok there's a chance Estonia WILL qualify this year. But only if they send Elina, if not they won't qualify nor win

i hope for belgium the netherlands and san marino. of san marino would qualify, that would be beautyfull

guys I am SO GLAD San-Marino participates this year! Eurovision isn't like it is without them!

The last 2 times that Sweden is in the semi 2 were 2012 and 2015, guess what place Sweden achieved in those 2 years. And the pattern of getting third place and then first place for Sweden may still continue, because last year in the old voting system, Sweden would have been third place.

Waiting to see which countries perform 2nd and get underrated

Countries in 2nd SF are generally qualified and strong countries ..2nd SF will be great , we dont know songs tho

Truely feel sorry for San Marino for being together with Sweden and Russia...

The semifinal 2 is the group of the death, several countries with trajectory will remain outside

Unfortunate for Poland having neither the UK or Ireland vote in their semi. An automatic 18-24 televoting points out the window for them.

Almost all the strong countries are in the second semifilal

Awesome job, girls ;) Very professional, funny and enjoyable. Props to Filomena and Silvia :)

Second semi final is like a massacre 😉 This time it ended up so interesting ☺ Portugal's architecture tells us what a great country has been hosting ESC, I don't understand why they use all these ordinary sentences... I should say that their English is so encouraging for the viewers 😵

Her russia pun was funny to bad the other woman didn't get it

Thank You! POLAND 2nd semi final - 2nd half

San Marino and Iceland are in biiig trouble with those semi x)

I'm glad that many typical "underdogs" will have a higher chance to qualify on the first semifinal. Also I hope Greek-Macedonian negotiations conclude successfully and soon, so this year they start competing with their new name.

We really,really,really need to qualify this year Albania!!!! Go Eugent. Do your best to make us proud! ❤❤❤❤

Denmark, Norway and Sweden in one group, Cyprus, Greece, Albania, Macedonia, Croatia in the same group what's the point in making so much fuzz about an allocation draw at all?

This is So Awesome 😄

Greece and Cyprus both in the first semi and Romania and Moldova both in the second semi. It's all good! ;))

Come on Ireland 🇮🇪!!!

Filomena and Sílvia are Portuguese, they just need to communicate, therefore, they are not obliged to have British or American accent...

Bulgaria and Belarus always together

Finally some fresh 12 points from Moldova to Romania in the semifinal

Good draw for FYR Macedonia , Finland , Ireland but not great for San Marino

Wow the 2 Semi final sounds very strong

This is amazing. Much respect to you for sharing.

I love the fact that the just drop the used papers on the floor😂

2nd semi final will be a bloodshed

This time, the German broadcaster ARD / NDR didn't request an approval to vote at the second semi-final. What happened after the Allocation Draw? My home country will still vote at the second semi-final! XD 24:30

Ukraine and Sweden will qualify ❤

Ireland getting some good luck with UK voting in their group, good luck everyone.

Nooooo, my country is in the 1st (only voting, is Spain) the bad thing is that the countries in general are not completely good, and countries that shouldn't qualify will, qualify and in the 2nd countries that should qualify won't qualify

🙄🙄🙄Switzerland is every year in The Group, with more countries... thats Not fair.. 😡👎🏼🙄🙄🙄

Well... i would say that it was overall a quite pleasant ceremony. Lot's of sympathy, good humour and... great tips. I would emphasize the "loose yourself" one, as the most interesting and seductive. All considered and in the worst case scenarios, either you discover where the beach is, or... Spain... our only direct neighbours and also a quite lovely country. Of course that, if at the beach, you feel capable and willing to do so, there's always the possibility of swimming in direction of the Madeira and Açores archipelagos… or even up to the north of Africa. It’s going to be a great event, i’m positive, and… as i was listening to the Mayor of Kiev, when he said he had the dream of hosting the Eurovision event once again soon, it occurred me: what if, we… yes, Portugal, somehow wins again? Nah… 😕

Beautiful hostess🌹🏵🌸

Original song at intro: Te Deum by Charpentier

WHY RUAH IS SO SIMILAR TO JENNIFER LOPEZ? she is really beautiful And Sylvia is so similar to Petra Mede? Omg what hosts

love the hostesses

Poor SAN Marino. It has Russia, Serbia, Sweden, Romania, Ukraine, Australia, Sweden, Hungary and Poland, all countries that usually do well or qualify. However they do have Italy so there’s something.

Back in 30th January when we thought Semi-Final 2 was the massacre. Everything just flipped now.

I remember that day when I thought that the 2nd SF was the massacre and very difficult and the 1st SF too weak, and now its the opposite

Second semi final will be very difficult. I`m sure that Russia, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Romania, Australia and Ukraine will qualify to tha gran final no matter what song they will perform. :/

Come on Finland 🇫🇮 💙💙 semi final 1 and Saara Aalto is well known in Europe and an amazing singer! Hopefully easy to qualify as it’s not the “Blood bath” semi

Omg this Filomena Cautela looks like Pastora Soler!!! Does Pastora have an identical twin !! :P

Ohh such a nice weather.... lucky Portugese people.... now our weather finally got better again....

Eurovision fans, help me! Please, I really want to find grand final tickets! Is there SOME way I can get some? Is everything sold out? Please answer ASAP :)

17:16 So sweet

And that was a time when one of the strongest semifinal was created.

Why Italy would get in the 2. Semi?

Poor san marino...

I am a lil late had school but still good

The last time that Finland qualified for the final was in 2014 when it was in the second sf
