Nailed it.

Thanks for attending my show

 

[Realest]

Predictable Announcement Order somehow.

 

[Andrin]

Luxembourg as last qualifier, how unexpected !!

 

[Etanna]

I feel sorry for Australia. They deserved to go through

 

[gigi_copp3]

So it was Polonia the doomed one of 1st half and not Cyprus.
Diaspora has abandoned Luna

 

[MopManMoss]

Poland NQing in a televote only semi is the funniest fucking thing holy shit

 

[JChan]

Feel sorry for Luna and Poland but overall really happy with a qualifiers. Serbia, Slovenia, and Portugal all making it were delightful televote choices

 

[Zorjan]

Come on, say it: Denmark!

Probably just about as likely here as in SF2

 

[musicfan]

Luxembourg made it, with a little help of course.

 

[HarryUK]

Poland NQing in a televote only semi is the funniest fucking thing holy shit

UK diaspora is currently in meltdown. Sky News bulletin due imminently

 

[randajad]

LET’S FRICKING GO SLAVIC GIRLIES

[ayzelto]

I got 10/10!! I knew Poland wasn’t making it

 

[MopManMoss]

Don't care where bambie places I am just so happy that they're gonna be there on the Saturday night, so so so deserved

 

[0scar]

Oh yeah congrats !!!!!! A very well deserved qualification to break the NQ-streak, happy for you

 

[Gordon_Shumway]

Quite a nice result.
I'm especially happy for Serbia, Luxembourg, Ukraine.
Ireland and Finland were horrible though.

 

[Franzilein]

Most sterile and predictable show I've seen in a while concerning Eurovision. Damn, contemplating if I will turn in on Thursday. Felt incredibly bored. At least all my favourites came through, so yay I guess...

 

[mauve]

I am quite happy wit the Q, but sad for Moldova.

 

[musicfan]

Predictable Announcement Order somehow.

I thought Ireland might be last.

 

[martin]

All 3 balkan country made it. That is not normal.

Slovenia was the surprice Q if we see the odds and Poland the big flop. My guess is that Serbia or Slovenia was 10 and Poland maybe 11.
