      ​@@anteglibota9411 Actually it's now two years in a row that Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia all qualified for the Grand Final, without any help of the ex-Yugoslav neighboring countries Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro and North Macedonia who all didn't even take part in both 2023 and 2024!

    I predicted every qualifier except Serbia over Poland. Serbia is one of my favorites, so I'm happy they got it, but Poland has almost always qualified with the televote, and this is a very diaspora-friendly semi for them + Serbia was in a tough running order position with a ballad that takes a while to build, which is ultimately why I did not list Serbia as a qualifier. Last year however, I did not put Poland as a qualifier, which did not age well. On the other hand, proud to be one of the few who had faith in Slovenia this time around.

    This is a SONG contest, but it seems more like a "who puts the more fireworks or strange things" contest!
    People are mesmerized by the lights, the stage full of things to complement the act. They don't apreciate the melody, the quality of the song itself. We brought a masterpiece act (song and dance) we don't need "fireworks". It's sad that the contest is more about the visuals than the song.
    But we're in the final, even without the votes of Spain, France, Switzerland, Belgium...

    I'd argue this was one of the best results ever in semi final. Everyone that deserved it went through. If you wanna argue about Poland and Australia; Australia was extremely underwhelming, staging was terrible, singing was flat at moments and the song is plain not good enough. Poland song is just not good enough I'm sorry, staging was kind awkward at some points and the red horse part looked absolutely atrocious, I don't understand why anyone thought it was a good idea, vocally she did well but it's like her voice is a bit weak or not loud enough. Azerbaijan song is okay but staging wise very boring, Moldova also underwhelming and I think her "clones" would have helped her a lot, Iceland while singing wise good, staging kinda boring and that song is just like 20 years too late I'm sorry.

    Glad for Slovenia and all the other qualifiers, but sad for Australia and low-key also for Poland because this song is popping in my head regularly. But the vocals weren't ehere they needed to be. Only second to UKs awful vocals. Australia probably would have qualified if Finland had won last year, and we've had exactly the same draw because, let's be real, Sweden wouldn't have made it. Neither would have Olly Alexander, nor would Isaak, although I gotta admit that he's got a really powerful voice. It's sad to see great songs NQ, while weaker Big 5 and host songs are automatically qualified for the final, so I'd suggest that they should also compete in the semis.
