Belgium missing out is a surprise for me

 

[Etanna]

I can't believe Latvia qualified! I'm so happy for him!!!

 

[gigi_copp3]

Belgium's NQ was deserved

 

[0scar]

Would've loved and to qualify over and , but otherwise I'm fine with the qualifiers.

Israel won televote in Italy with the 39,31% of the Total votes. Just saying.

If true we could be looking at a Ukraine 2022 televoting result on Saturday night.... which would get really ugly

[Zorjan]

I just woke up my roomie by shouting "FUCK YEAH ARMENIA!!" too loudly
...they shouldn't have revealed Armenia last!
Poor guy, he has to get up early tomorrow

 

[Laepo1]

Only Azerbaijan (#9) missed from my top10.

So so so happy for Georgia and Latvia reaching the final after so long, but gutted for San Marino. Megara deserved to Q.

 

[Teaisloveable]

Sad about Malta
very happy about Armenia!

 

[mauve]

Miss Czechia

 

[Malagant]

Very happy that my 3 favourites: Israel, Austria and Norway made the final! Congrats Gåte!

Also Georgia. Cool.

Denmark missed out which was a pity.

Biggest surprise for me though was that San Marino did not make the final. I was certain it would.

Looking forward to the final on Saturday!

Impossible scenario.

 

[aef]

I predicted 9/10. Didn’t expect

 

[Himan]

I'm happy Sweden puts their Eurovision heroes on the stage instead of a roof top.

 

[mauve]

Btw Odds: 10/10.

RAI showed it.
Israel's gonna win, Eurovision is ruined forever.

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

How would you know

Quite interestingly, RAI posted live on screen Italian televote percentages of all songs live, immediately after the resulta were announced. Same thing that happens in Sanremo final.

 

[Realest]

Btw Odds: 10/10.
