[AliceEsc]

I sent 2 votes to and 1 to , saving money for the final
Good luck!

The crowd ruined the start of Diodato, I didn't watch this to listen to the crowd.

 

[mauve]

GOOSEBUMPS.

 

[Ezio]

I am so thankful for this moment (to use Conchitas words)

 

[ShoeFlo]

The definition of a perfect, powerful ballad.

 

[jatojo]

I like Diodato's falsetto more than the ones in "Brividi".

 

[Ezio]

OMG his performance fixed the kinetic sun!

 

[randajad]

Everyone moved.
Even the sun.

 

[Xico_16]

Hands down Diodato just gave us the best performance of the night

 

[crashworld]

What a bittersweet moment for Diodato. Send me chills, because it makes me think of all the great entries we lost.

 

[PollyWantsACracker]

My votes (fair) distribution:

13 - Ukraine

6 - Netherlands

1 - Albania out of pitty

 

[lacrymea]

This was the most beautiful interval act EVER. Crying like a baby.

How much I love Diodato and Fai Rumore. Just. Wow.

 

[jatojo]

Italy should only send in songs to Eurovision - they shouldn't organize the final.

 

[Kaz]

What a bittersweet momemt for Diodato. Send me chills, because it makes me think of all the great entries we lost.

I would donate a kidney if it meant we got to see Chains On You live at Eurovision

 

[goncalovieira]

Portugal just reached 91% of qualification chances.
