Finally Czech Republic is in.

I feel sorry Bosnia is in, but honestly we didn't deserve it this year.

I am not surprised about Iceland, it was a typical fanwank thing.

I have to admit I've heard the songs for the first time tonight so I'm clueless as to what the odds were. But honestly no or ? Things like or instead zZzzzZz not to mention the horror that were but I expected them to pass of course. screams winner from what I've seen so far

Phew! Could of been worse! Hungary and Austria were the most important to qualify. Expected Cyprus but was far from sure. Czech and Malta were very unexpected, and I believe Greece ruined their song by having that very strange arrhythmical beat. Otherwise it could of been a huge contender.

Nordic fiasco as expected.

icleand could have taken a spot but finland,hehe, like come on now it was by far the worst song to have graced this competition this side of the millenia

ITV probably bought some votes. Shame awfulness from got through over some very good songs.

I'm not surprised about Iceland at all, it was quite bad tbh. (as I said in my comment)

I really think Iceland lacked tonight. She didn't pull it out. Great song, but was lacking.

In the drawing order, these are my qualifiers

Greece
Hungary
Netherlands (the best tonight)
Armenia
Russia
Czech Republic
Cyprus
Austria
Estonia
Malta

8/10 not bad.
Only Azerbaijan and Croatia instead of Greece and Estonia.

I'm really happy for Zöe Czech Republic in the Final for the very fiest time and that awful and overrated by eurofans Icelandic entry out

Agreed.

I liked the staging but I'm not convinced it really fitted the song. Also I was stressing she would mess the pace with the background

Also, I am happy people might finally stop saying "no matter what Greece, Bosnia, etc etc send they will always qualify".

Nice results, I'm so happy for qualifying for the first time well-deserved and great entry I think that it will get pretty nice result in the final

Iceland out seems to be the biggest surprise for many people in here. A few of my non-esc friends have heard Hear them Calling. None of them liked it especially. Neither the norwegian nor the swedish or finnish preview shows gave hight points to Iceland.
So - even though Greta had a great (imo) stage presentation - it was not a surprise to me that she didnt make it.
I think this was a typical fan-favourite. I mean; who else would vote for this song? Not the young ones... and not their parents either, I am afraid.

Great Show, Sweden!

My personal favourites in tonight's Semi 1 were (in no particular order):

I also liked:

Final result:

Very glad went through to the ESC-finale on Saturday, well deserved imo! They were my top 2 favourites tonight
Dissapointed that did not qualify for the finale, they had deserved to be there imo. Nice though that made it
