Filomena, so natural, exactly as I expected her. Sílvia still needs to work on her English accent but she's also good, hopefully they'll keep the show exciting but a bit more organised than last year
nacht98 yeah it might not be for you ;) for me, however, the moments from 0:48 to 0:58, especially when she said “our country” are what strike me to write the comment
10 countries of semi 2 added together have 4 non-qualifications in the past 5 years!! Russia(0) Hungary(0) Ukraine(0) Poland(0) Romania(0) Netherlands(1) Sweden (0) Norway(1) Australia(0) Serbia(2)
So far my geopolitical prediction (in a random order) for the qualifiers is: ⚫Bulgaria ⚫Belgium ⚫Azerbaijan ⚫Israel ⚫Austria ⚫Armenia ⚫Cyprus ⚫Croatia ⚫Greece ⚫Lithuania ⚫Russia ⚫Denmark ⚫Romania ⚫Australia ⚫Norway ⚫The Netherlands ⚫Sweden ⚫Hungary ⚫Poland ⚫Ukraine
jozien I donʼt! My comment was clearly sarcastic,I just want country with good songs to qualify and not like last year when Sweden,Australia and others qualified with bad songs.
remember there is no country guaranted to qualify remember turkey failing armenia greece so pls stop saying semi 2 is harder..im sure there will be new surprises
All these people are like Oh this country or that country won't qualify... Please shut up. Good songs qualify no matter what Semi-Final you're in... It will be harder for some countries ofcourse but it's way too early to judge
well, in most cases really good songs from countries that don't always qualify still qualify. Like Switzerland 2014, San Marino 2014, Latvia 2015. I'm sure if Love injected would participate in this year it would also have qualified. And Sweden, Australia, Russia etc. Always qualify because they put so much effort in the production and are in general 'fan favorite' countries. And don't be so sure about Poland. they were really borderline last year with 9th place in their sf while their song was final worthy.
And with greece bulgaria armenia azerbaijan...I found it really lucky for us in Greece but also dont forget that for example sweden denmark and norway are together
Yeah, but in anyway Cyprus is going strong this year. I think they are really sending a good song and artist. It's gonna be like 2012 for Cyprus. It was one of the best songs but the problem it was that it was sent from Cyprus. Not Sweden or any other big country
Second semi final is like a massacre 😉 This time it ended up so interesting ☺ Portugal's architecture tells us what a great country has been hosting ESC, I don't understand why they use all these ordinary sentences... I should say that their English is so encouraging for the viewers 😵
I kinda feel like the 2nd semi is a little stronger.... Hungary,Russia,Sweden,Australia, Ukraine..... It's going to be a blood bath. But I'm kinda happy, because since I live in Germany I can vote for all my favourites in the 2nd semi. Gonna be good, guys! :D
Das Brotige Toastbrot - Lol im so happy my country Finland is in semi final 1. We should sail through since the UK are voting in that semi and our artist is well known there
I hope so!!!! your Artist seems pretty promising and I don't want lovely Finland to miss the final the 4th time in a row. Really loved Blackbird, I'm wishing you luck.
Das Brotige Toastbrot - Thank you! I was so gutted last year :( travesty if you ask me! Saara Aalto came runner up on the Xfactor UK so as I said hopefully the voting will go our way! At least we don’t have Sweden or Norway as competition;)
Gabriel Esteves ... She Is So Funny And Clever :p ... Ela É o Máximo No Divertimento E Super Inteligente ( Ou Seja ... Humor "S/ Ser Brega" ) ... Aliás ... São Ambas ... Both Are
Kamran Tagizada not last year... which four countries of top five came from first semifinal... only Bulgaria was from second semifinal... Portugal Moldova Belgium and Sweden were from first semifinal...
Also me thinks semi 2 is the more difficult one with 5 100% qualifiers in there I think!! Semi-1 has 3 only !! The draw again failed to separate Moldova and Romania ; Greece and Cyprus ; Armenia and Azerbaijan
Jersey Love the draw literally can't ever separate them cause they are all members in a pot...so atleast three of them will be together!! The draw divided them and that's all it could have achieved Whereas Greece and Cyprus; Moldova and Romania, Azerbaijan and Armenia are just two countries in a pot of 6 it's like saying the draw didn't separate the Balkan bloc...it just plain can't Use some logic no!!
Itzjoseph: I was being sarcastic :). Well, partially at least, since I am Romanian 😊. Although the 2nd semifinal will be a bloodbath, as many people have already said... Maybe the actual quality of the songs will matter more this year? I certainly hope so
abcdef: well, with 4 Scandinavian countries (and we can easily add Iceland to the group and make a total of 5), they were bound to be at least 2 in one semifinal and 3 in the other (or would have been better to have 4 in the same semi? Although I don't know if that is actually possible, with the pots and everything) so it's not as coincidental as a group of only 2 countries :)
Gromee jeszcze ok, choć pytanie brzmi jaki będzie występ na żywo( jak tak samo jak Margaret to raczej kiepsko). Piosenka Isabell może jest ok do jakiegoś klubu, albo do jazdy samochodem, ale średnio go widzę na konkursie. Patrząc na piosenki, które wygrywały w poprzednich latach taki rodzaj muzyki nie odnosił wielkich sukcesów
W 2 połowie 2 półfinału jedynymi państwami, które mogą być dla nas konkurencją to Węgry, (być może) Ukraina i SZWECJA. :p Ale to już się zobaczy jakie będą miały piosenki.
The last 2 times that Sweden is in the semi 2 were 2012 and 2015, guess what place Sweden achieved in those 2 years. And the pattern of getting third place and then first place for Sweden may still continue, because last year in the old voting system, Sweden would have been third place.
I was thinking about that too! But I want so bad to have a Eurovision edition into the Friends Arena but I’m sure of Sweden wins again they will do an amazing job as host nation no matter where (:
I'm glad that many typical "underdogs" will have a higher chance to qualify on the first semifinal. Also I hope Greek-Macedonian negotiations conclude successfully and soon, so this year they start competing with their new name.
Another way to perform a semi-final allocation draw is that first, get all the auto-qualifying countries (big 5 + non-big5 host), and arrange their envelopes in a line. If there are an odd number of auto-qualifiers, add an envelop that contains no country. The countries on the left half of the line are in the first semi-final and the right half on the second. You do the same for each pot of countries required to qualify to compete in the final. For every pot with an even number of countries, the left half goes to SF1 and the right half to SF2. For every pot with an odd number of countries, the country in the middle of the line is removed from the line and placed in a discard pile, with all countries at the left-hand side assigned to SF1 and those on the right-hand side to SF2. After going through each pot, all envelopes on the discard pile are shuffled. If the number of envelopes left are odd, include another envelope with no country and split the line in halves after shuffling, left on SF1 and right on SF2. Here it does not matter how many countries participate in each semi-final if the semi-finals have different numbers of competing countries. For deciding the halves of the countries for each semi-final. Arrange all the countries for each semi-final in a line. Before doing this add an empty envelope for semi-finals with odd number of competing countries. The line is split into halves with left going to first half and right going to second half.
Come on Finland 🇫🇮 💙💙 semi final 1 and Saara Aalto is well known in Europe and an amazing singer! Hopefully easy to qualify as it’s not the “Blood bath” semi
Denmark, Norway and Sweden in one group, Cyprus, Greece, Albania, Macedonia, Croatia in the same group what's the point in making so much fuzz about an allocation draw at all?
nacht98 I am afraid we aren’t trying... the 4 wins in the 90s is the reason why we aren’t winning anymore. Unfortunately we don’t want to. Radió Teilifís na hÉireann dosent want us to win and was broke by all the wins in the 90s. But maybe it will start to pick up again and we’ll start trying again? Who knows? I sure hope so 😉
WHY RUAH IS SO SIMILAR TO JENNIFER LOPEZ? she is really beautiful And Sylvia is so similar to Petra Mede? Omg what hosts
6 років тому+6
Nooooo, my country is in the 1st (only voting, is Spain) the bad thing is that the countries in general are not completely good, and countries that shouldn't qualify will, qualify and in the 2nd countries that should qualify won't qualify
oigreS el al revés are we talking about a song contest or a contest of countries?!!! So far we only know 4 songs... I will vote for a song not for a specific country...
6 років тому+1
Rui Duarte I thought in the countries that bormally are good or bad, and the countries that have songs for preselection, some I don't ike
Poor SAN Marino. It has Russia, Serbia, Sweden, Romania, Ukraine, Australia, Sweden, Hungary and Poland, all countries that usually do well or qualify. However they do have Italy so there’s something.
Galaxy Thunder maybe but the Italian jury tends not favour San Marino however the Italian televote usually gives some points to them although it is likely they will not send an Italian artist. I’m wishing them good luck in the bloodbath that is the second semi.
ESC_Simily your country usually does well or at least qualifies and even if they don’t they are 11th everytime. Also u have Montenegro who will probably give u guys high points. Anyways good luck!
Sven W well Norway didn’t qualify in 2016 but yeah they probably will qualify if they have a good song as Sweden and Denmark are in their semi. As for the Netherlands I think this year they may be in danger with no Belgium and the first half draw. I don’t know what song Waylon will bring but I do think that it’ll have to be pretty amazing to qualify.
It is very dangerous to forget about the history. You can learn from the past so you don't make continuous bad mistakes. And of course we should remember the mistakes we have done and the people who have suffered from it
Erik Lundqvist I think we are really aware of our history... our mistakes and harm that our ancestors caused... every people or country have this kind of issues... some of them denies it... or admit it... we admit it... but I cannot be responsible for that my ancestors did... just for what I do... and today we are peaceful and respectful towards everyone... so the present is more important as well... Greetings
Rui Duarte Yes, I'm not accusing anyone. I was just against the statement to forget about the past. In my hometown they built "raceprofiling institute" where they stripped people naked, measured them and pretended like they were doing science. From their "results" my government started sterilising people considered less equal. This was during the 1900s. I have no blame in what they did, because they did this before I was born. But I am responsible for development in the society today. And I can compare the development in society that lead to this horrible crime before to society of today and make sure it never happens again. It's a reminder of why we should treat people equal. Thanks for the reply
Erik Lundqvist you’re right and I agree with you. We built our societies for the best or for the worst... about the statement, I think it was to say we are not celebrating our history through this ESC as many people was afraid of... instead we are celebrating the present and future. Atrocities were committed along history and nowadays as well, in my country we had our account of atrocities committed against so many minorities, but fortunately today it’s not the case anymore... we just can hope to have a positive role and give an example to others, individually and as society...
Well... i would say that it was overall a quite pleasant ceremony. Lot's of sympathy, good humour and... great tips. I would emphasize the "loose yourself" one, as the most interesting and seductive. All considered and in the worst case scenarios, either you discover where the beach is, or... Spain... our only direct neighbours and also a quite lovely country. Of course that, if at the beach, you feel capable and willing to do so, there's always the possibility of swimming in direction of the Madeira and Açores archipelagos… or even up to the north of Africa. It’s going to be a great event, i’m positive, and… as i was listening to the Mayor of Kiev, when he said he had the dream of hosting the Eurovision event once again soon, it occurred me: what if, we… yes, Portugal, somehow wins again? Nah… 😕
I don't understand why everybody thinks that semi final 2 is strong? I think it's very very weak! For me there were only 7 songs final worthy. ( Norway, Slovenia, Romenia, Denmark, Australia, The Netherlands and Ukraine) and Semi final 1 was way to good so many good songs didn't go trough. (Greece, Croatia, Belarus, Belgium, Armenia and Switzerland) It's really a shame.
This time, the German broadcaster ARD / NDR didn't request an approval to vote at the second semi-final. What happened after the Allocation Draw? My home country will still vote at the second semi-final! XD 24:30
To be honest I think these are scripted jokes. The only thing she failed was anouncing it was a joke, by laughing. The same (probably) with the "where's Portugal?" one. But they did a good job.
Only after watching this another time I've noticed that cyprus - Greece and Moldova - Romania were in the same bowl so they wouldn't be in the same SF, but they were lucky...
Wonderful job to the hosts! A massive improvement from past years.
Wonderful!!
Keanu Soemali They were good but tiring.
Love Petra Mede
So professional! Congratulations Portugal!!!
The hosts are great especially the one in the white dress!! loved her
Oh yes same
T. K You pack your suitcase, ready to go??? Yes I liked them. It's girl power this year, manpower last year! (The host).
Yap, im portuguese and i love Filomena Cautela
Linda Kristine Kjørlibråten 🙌
the black dress one reminds me of Petra
The hosts are amazing❤
Rick Den Boer. Yes, they are!!
True ;)
TeagueyBoy you are right! Last year the English was al bit annoying
Great Hosts!! This is going to be one of greatest Eurovision in Portugal🇵🇹 So excited✌ Good luck to all😉
#allaboard
Wow, Lisbon is a beautiful and sunny city. The hosts are amazing and very funny!
Eurovision 2018 will be a great show, I hope! Well done, Portugal!
Wait until you see it, LIsbon is amazing
Kevin Stevenson Today is the grand day...
I think these hosts will be pretty fun in May.
OPA! Simmer cool I'm a simmer too
23:01 "Are you ready?" "No" I LOVE THESE HOSTS!
Maxime T same
Maxime T She Is So Funny And Clever :p ... Ela É o Máximo No Divertimento E Super Inteligente ( Ou Seja ... Humor "S/ Ser Brega" ) ... Aliás ... São Ambas ... Both Are
Ya, honesty and directness is the Southerners' most precious feat of character.
Very good presentation, very professional and enjoyable! Congrats!
Filomena, so natural, exactly as I expected her. Sílvia still needs to work on her English accent but she's also good, hopefully they'll keep the show exciting but a bit more organised than last year
Why would you choose someone not very good with her english to host eurovision. Silvia was not the best option here Filomane was so much better!
nacht98 my theory is that she was picked up because of her french, as Catarina was.
@ Cátia Merendeiro
If it's like that, then I'm not worried anymore...I was mostly worried of Catarina's English, it's a disaster.
I think they are all awsome and, for different reasons, deserve it in the same way. They'll do a very good job.
I know you were nervous girls, but you did a great Job!
a fantastic job actually! It's harder to host something in this situation (no reacton, claps, cheers, etc)
Welcome to Portugal Europe!
Love these 2 already
Agreed
Good luck to all participants.!!!!🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
Silvia reminds me so much of Petra Mede 😁 really enjoy her kind of “blah blah blah... oops am I talking too much?? Yes... well, I don’t care” attitude
you mean Filomenda not Silvia
nacht98 no, I mean Silvia - the taller one
That is exactly what pissed me off the most on Petra Mede.
Sorry I can't see anything of Petra Mede in Silvia.
nacht98 yeah it might not be for you ;) for me, however, the moments from 0:48 to 0:58, especially when she said “our country” are what strike me to write the comment
I just love Filomena Cautela
Yep I think Sylvia has to work a bit but Filomena is absolutely AMAZING
So many people saying that Silvia looks like Petra Mede. But seriously is it just me or Filomena Cautela looks exactly like Pastora Soler?
you right XD
Petra! Yes, I told myself: Where the hell do I know her from?
YOU SO RIGHT! 😂
I'm glad I'm not the only one 😂
19:43
RTP CEO: "We have the most beautiful presenters ever"
Filomena Cautela: "That's true! That is true!
ahah love her
ahah XD
I am so proud to be born and raised in Lisbon! All aboard ;)
Pavle Visak You absolutely should! It’s a beautiful city! Hopefully, if I have enough money I will go there this summer! 🇸🇪✈️🇵🇹
LinusKarlen98 Have fun! Lisbon is perfect and I'm sure you will love it :)
Design is great! I love it 😱❤️❤️
"WHERES THE BEACH? PUT ME THE CREAM" Filomena
"Where's the beach ? Put me the cream" ICON in the making ahahahah
mirpa13 she's already an icon. She's just passing the border now :)
10 countries of semi 2 added together have 4 non-qualifications in the past 5 years!!
Russia(0) Hungary(0)
Ukraine(0) Poland(0)
Romania(0) Netherlands(1)
Sweden (0) Norway(1)
Australia(0) Serbia(2)
ESC_Simily San Marino?
ESC_Simily I was asking San Marino is the worst in this regard!! Are you from San Marino?
Semi Final 2 is going to be exciting
Denmark, Norway and Sweden united in the second semifinal... Well, that's gonna be interesting! Skål, fellow Scandinavians! And good luck! 🇩🇰🇳🇴🇸🇪
So far my geopolitical prediction (in a random order) for the qualifiers is:
⚫Bulgaria
⚫Belgium
⚫Azerbaijan
⚫Israel
⚫Austria
⚫Armenia
⚫Cyprus
⚫Croatia
⚫Greece
⚫Lithuania
⚫Russia
⚫Denmark
⚫Romania
⚫Australia
⚫Norway
⚫The Netherlands
⚫Sweden
⚫Hungary
⚫Poland
⚫Ukraine
ESC_Simily Which is your country?
I hope so
jozien I donʼt!
My comment was clearly sarcastic,I just want country with good songs to qualify and not like last year when Sweden,Australia and others qualified with bad songs.
Galaxy Thunder Same
remember there is no country guaranted to qualify remember turkey failing armenia greece so pls stop saying semi 2 is harder..im sure there will be new surprises
All these people are like Oh this country or that country won't qualify... Please shut up. Good songs qualify no matter what Semi-Final you're in... It will be harder for some countries ofcourse but it's way too early to judge
Esc JNL Greece and Cyprus are in the same fucking semi final and it will be unfair
well, in most cases really good songs from countries that don't always qualify still qualify. Like Switzerland 2014, San Marino 2014, Latvia 2015. I'm sure if Love injected would participate in this year it would also have qualified. And Sweden, Australia, Russia etc. Always qualify because they put so much effort in the production and are in general 'fan favorite' countries. And don't be so sure about Poland. they were really borderline last year with 9th place in their sf while their song was final worthy.
Greece and cyprus together again!!!!!🇨🇾🇬🇷
Maybe Cyprus or Switzerland will win the eurovision song contest this year !!
Semi-final 2 is going to be a bloodbath
Γιάννης Γ Ikr and not to forget Romania and Moldova, I'm also sad San Marino was in that sf
Γιάννης Γ Btw do you know if Eleni Foureira will 100% represent Cyprus? :D
Γιάννης Γ Oh ok I'm just asking
Γιάννης Γ the majority of Russia’s neighbours are competing in semi 1 😂.
but in the end - it wasn't!
Cyprus' chances of getting to the final just got a whole lot better
AlexManU ειμαστε σε καλο ημιτελικο οχι ρωσια οχι σουιδια οχι αυστραλια. Τελοια 😊😊
If you could write that in English it would be great
AlexManU we are in a good semi without russia without austrailia without sweeden
And with greece bulgaria armenia azerbaijan...I found it really lucky for us in Greece but also dont forget that for example sweden denmark and norway are together
Yeah, but in anyway Cyprus is going strong this year. I think they are really sending a good song and artist. It's gonna be like 2012 for Cyprus. It was one of the best songs but the problem it was that it was sent from Cyprus. Not Sweden or any other big country
Cyprus and Greece are both in Semi-Final 1. That is not good
MaxT well they can only give each other a maximum of 24 points, and they haven’t done so in the last few years.
Moldova and Romania are both too
Yes, sadly
MaxT it's amazing 😉 we are having also Armenia like last year 😃
I like how you people complain when they give eachother points when other countries do the same
Lisbon ❤️For me the best city in the world
Kinda feel sorry for San Marino.
In the second semifinal there are left just 5 places because :Sweden, Russia ,Ukraine ,Australia and Romania will qualify 100%
Maks G123 im not sure about ukraine cause her songs are not that good...
DeadliestGamer134 : maybe ,I havent listened still their songs , but they qualify always
ukraine bad songs russia yulia and romania bad songs all these three wont qualify hha
Ukraine hasn't chosen song yet ... I agree that we can have shitty songs but usually we do not ... so don't run ahead ...
I'm not so certain about romania. Their nf isn't very good.
ITS GONNA BE SO AMMAZING!
Second semi final is like a massacre 😉 This time it ended up so interesting ☺
Portugal's architecture tells us what a great country has been hosting ESC, I don't understand why they use all these ordinary sentences...
I should say that their English is so encouraging for the viewers 😵
TeagueyBoy They are gonna make it wonderful, no doubt 😎 but their accent is painful honey 😵
Ali Arslan Not everyone has to speak English perfectly. Can you speak German, Spanish or French perfectly???
Hi what are your thoughts about sf2 now haha 😂
Ali Arslan And now the massacre is the 1st...
i hope for belgium the netherlands and san marino. of san marino would qualify, that would be beautyfull
guys I am SO GLAD San-Marino participates this year! Eurovision isn't like it is without them!
not a great draw for them though
I don't know why you all say "them". It's clearly Valentina Monetta who is needed in every edition.
Well, I suppose even she has to have a team 😎
I kinda feel like the 2nd semi is a little stronger.... Hungary,Russia,Sweden,Australia, Ukraine..... It's going to be a blood bath. But I'm kinda happy, because since I live in Germany I can vote for all my favourites in the 2nd semi. Gonna be good, guys! :D
Das Brotige Toastbrot - Lol im so happy my country Finland is in semi final 1. We should sail through since the UK are voting in that semi and our artist is well known there
I hope so!!!! your Artist seems pretty promising and I don't want lovely Finland to miss the final the 4th time in a row. Really loved Blackbird, I'm wishing you luck.
Das Brotige Toastbrot - Thank you! I was so gutted last year :( travesty if you ask me! Saara Aalto came runner up on the Xfactor UK so as I said hopefully the voting will go our way! At least we don’t have Sweden or Norway as competition;)
Wow the 2 Semi final sounds very strong
Ukraine and Sweden will qualify ❤
39:58 I can't stop seeing this part
hahahaha
I think she said that to remind us that portugal won. Where is portugal? Oh right, its finally not in any semifinal pot.
Gabriel Esteves ... She Is So Funny And Clever :p ... Ela É o Máximo No Divertimento E Super Inteligente ( Ou Seja ... Humor "S/ Ser Brega" ) ... Aliás ... São Ambas ... Both Are
Mena got scared lol
The mayor of Kyiv is so tall...
Joana Gomes you're so right... Years ago,when he was a boxer.. it seemed to me that he wasn't soo tall.. 😅
Portuguese people are small, xD
The tallest in my class is a girl with ukranian parents
Joana Gomes, just like someone wrote in some other comment, we are not small... it's the others that are bigger. ; )
da Silva that’s true xD
He is really tall, as he was a famous boxer
Come on Ireland 🇮🇪!!!
Waiting to see which countries perform 2nd and get underrated
Countries in 2nd SF are generally qualified and strong countries ..2nd SF will be great , we dont know songs tho
Kamran Tagizada not last year... which four countries of top five came from first semifinal... only Bulgaria was from second semifinal...
Portugal Moldova Belgium and Sweden were from first semifinal...
Also me thinks semi 2 is the more difficult one with 5 100% qualifiers in there I think!!
Semi-1 has 3 only !!
The draw again failed to separate Moldova and Romania ; Greece and Cyprus ; Armenia and Azerbaijan
How about all the Scandinavian countries or the Soviet Union? Jesus
It's a fact that this voting can not stop...don't talk always about greece and cyprus...it gets boring...the Scandinavians are worse👍👍🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Jersey Love the draw literally can't ever separate them cause they are all members in a pot...so atleast three of them will be together!! The draw divided them and that's all it could have achieved
Whereas Greece and Cyprus; Moldova and Romania, Azerbaijan and Armenia are just two countries in a pot of 6
it's like saying the draw didn't separate the Balkan bloc...it just plain can't
Use some logic no!!
The idea is exactly not to separate neighbours so if they're in the same semi-final they can't vote for each other!
Greece and Cyprus both in the first semi and Romania and Moldova both in the second semi. It's all good! ;))
Daniel Ely no it’s not
Itzjoseph: I was being sarcastic :). Well, partially at least, since I am Romanian 😊. Although the 2nd semifinal will be a bloodbath, as many people have already said... Maybe the actual quality of the songs will matter more this year? I certainly hope so
And that is what we see again...we CAN NOT SEE that denmark sweden and norway are in the same semifinal
abcdef: well, with 4 Scandinavian countries (and we can easily add Iceland to the group and make a total of 5), they were bound to be at least 2 in one semifinal and 3 in the other (or would have been better to have 4 in the same semi? Although I don't know if that is actually possible, with the pots and everything) so it's not as coincidental as a group of only 2 countries :)
We really,really,really need to qualify this year Albania!!!! Go Eugent. Do your best to make us proud! ❤❤❤❤
IGLI LIME you won't
IGLI LIME good luck from Greece 😊 We'll vote as always though
Awesome job, girls ;) Very professional, funny and enjoyable. Props to Filomena and Silvia :)
Ok there's a chance Estonia WILL qualify this year.
But only if they send Elina, if not they won't qualify nor win
ESC Nils i thought That too😂
San Marino and Iceland are in biiig trouble with those semi x)
Iceland was already in big trouble with those songs in his national final.
Bulgaria and Belarus always together
Thank You! POLAND 2nd semi final - 2nd half
Nie wiem czy jest się z czego cieszyć patrząc na kraje, które są w tym półfinale :/
Saruman The White
Wystarczy ze wyslemy cos dobrego, np. Gromee/Isabell Otrebus
Gromee jeszcze ok, choć pytanie brzmi jaki będzie występ na żywo( jak tak samo jak Margaret to raczej kiepsko). Piosenka Isabell może jest ok do jakiegoś klubu, albo do jazdy samochodem, ale średnio go widzę na konkursie. Patrząc na piosenki, które wygrywały w poprzednich latach taki rodzaj muzyki nie odnosił wielkich sukcesów
W 2 połowie 2 półfinału jedynymi państwami, które mogą być dla nas konkurencją to Węgry, (być może) Ukraina i SZWECJA. :p Ale to już się zobaczy jakie będą miały piosenki.
The last 2 times that Sweden is in the semi 2 were 2012 and 2015, guess what place Sweden achieved in those 2 years. And the pattern of getting third place and then first place for Sweden may still continue, because last year in the old voting system, Sweden would have been third place.
Friends Arena in 2019!
Mateo Poveda they'll probabably host it in göteborg if they win again.
I was thinking about that too! But I want so bad to have a Eurovision edition into the Friends Arena but I’m sure of Sweden wins again they will do an amazing job as host nation no matter where (:
Truely feel sorry for San Marino for being together with Sweden and Russia...
...and Australia. And Ukraine. And Norway. And Hungary. And Denmark. And Romania.
Basically, average songs in SF2 are screwed.
And israel!!!
Dror Talker I actually think we have a pretty good chance of qualifying in semi 1 this year
די בטוח שנעפיל ויש גם סיכוי די גדול שנגיע למקום טוב,עם כל הקרקורים😂
I'm glad that many typical "underdogs" will have a higher chance to qualify on the first semifinal. Also I hope Greek-Macedonian negotiations conclude successfully and soon, so this year they start competing with their new name.
Juan Miguel Delgado I don't think that Macedonia will compete with the new name until may..
Γιαννης Δελ It's better and righter to call Macedonia as FYROM I think.
Doni V No. Macedonia is a greek name
La Cazadora De Comunistas As Greek we are saying the same....
Please read again my comment ☺
Doni V Sorry if I commented bad because I know some english
Finally some fresh 12 points from Moldova to Romania in the semifinal
Nemon Cubez no thanks
Or Ukraine if their song is good enough to switch from this unpredictable desigion XD
Im really happy with Ireland this year. Were in the 2nd half, meaning we could qualify because people might remember our performance😂
Darragh Cleary but if it so as last year every body Will remember as A bad performance...
I’m so happy as well. It’s the best we could of got the weaker semi in terms of countries and the 2nd Half!
2nd half of the weak semi! happy days!
The UK is also voting in the first semi, so Ireland have a really good chance!
Alfie Duckett Last year Engeland Didn,t Get points of Ireland xP
“Ukraine, of course!” FILOMENA IS PSYCHIC.
The semifinal 2 is the group of the death, several countries with trajectory will remain outside
This is So Awesome 😄
Filomena and Sílvia are Portuguese, they just need to communicate, therefore, they are not obliged to have British or American accent...
Good draw for FYR Macedonia , Finland , Ireland but not great for San Marino
Italy votes in that semi
I know😂was waiting for such an answer 🇮🇹 I'm Italian however 👍🏻
ESC Nils you need 110 points to ensure qualification....a 12 point from one country won't do a lot
And that was a time when one of the strongest semifinal was created.
Another way to perform a semi-final allocation draw is that first, get all the auto-qualifying countries (big 5 + non-big5 host), and arrange their envelopes in a line. If there are an odd number of auto-qualifiers, add an envelop that contains no country. The countries on the left half of the line are in the first semi-final and the right half on the second. You do the same for each pot of countries required to qualify to compete in the final. For every pot with an even number of countries, the left half goes to SF1 and the right half to SF2. For every pot with an odd number of countries, the country in the middle of the line is removed from the line and placed in a discard pile, with all countries at the left-hand side assigned to SF1 and those on the right-hand side to SF2. After going through each pot, all envelopes on the discard pile are shuffled. If the number of envelopes left are odd, include another envelope with no country and split the line in halves after shuffling, left on SF1 and right on SF2. Here it does not matter how many countries participate in each semi-final if the semi-finals have different numbers of competing countries. For deciding the halves of the countries for each semi-final. Arrange all the countries for each semi-final in a line. Before doing this add an empty envelope for semi-finals with odd number of competing countries. The line is split into halves with left going to first half and right going to second half.
POLAND
2nd semi final will be a bloodshed
You were wrong semi 1 was the strongest ever and semi 2 was not strong at all
Almost all the strong countries are in the second semifilal
Andrea Bondar I think that’s a bad thing that means we’ll lose good countries
@@Rosko_01 how wrong we were semi 1 was in fact far stronger
Ohh such a nice weather.... lucky Portugese people.... now our weather finally got better again....
Come on Finland 🇫🇮 💙💙 semi final 1 and Saara Aalto is well known in Europe and an amazing singer! Hopefully easy to qualify as it’s not the “Blood bath” semi
Ross it’s a great time for Finland
Denmark, Norway and Sweden in one group, Cyprus, Greece, Albania, Macedonia, Croatia in the same group what's the point in making so much fuzz about an allocation draw at all?
The best will win.
This is amazing. Much respect to you for sharing.
Ireland getting some good luck with UK voting in their group, good luck everyone.
Jan Kench uk and Ireland never vote for each other...
It is time for Ireland to do good in ESC again..where is 90's tiger?? You had such amazing entries guys!
nacht98 I am afraid we aren’t trying... the 4 wins in the 90s is the reason why we aren’t winning anymore. Unfortunately we don’t want to. Radió Teilifís na hÉireann dosent want us to win and was broke by all the wins in the 90s. But maybe it will start to pick up again and we’ll start trying again? Who knows? I sure hope so 😉
17:16 So sweet
WHY RUAH IS SO SIMILAR TO JENNIFER LOPEZ? she is really beautiful
And Sylvia is so similar to Petra Mede? Omg what hosts
Nooooo, my country is in the 1st (only voting, is Spain) the bad thing is that the countries in general are not completely good, and countries that shouldn't qualify will, qualify and in the 2nd countries that should qualify won't qualify
oigreS el al revés are we talking about a song contest or a contest of countries?!!!
So far we only know 4 songs... I will vote for a song not for a specific country...
Rui Duarte I thought in the countries that bormally are good or bad, and the countries that have songs for preselection, some I don't ike
Poor SAN Marino. It has Russia, Serbia, Sweden, Romania, Ukraine, Australia, Sweden, Hungary and Poland, all countries that usually do well or qualify. However they do have Italy so there’s something.
Serbia is not doing really well tbh. You forgot Netherlands and Norway!
Kaz Mengi If San Marino has a good song this year maybe our jury (Italian) would give ʼem some points.
Galaxy Thunder maybe but the Italian jury tends not favour San Marino however the Italian televote usually gives some points to them although it is likely they will not send an Italian artist. I’m wishing them good luck in the bloodbath that is the second semi.
ESC_Simily your country usually does well or at least qualifies and even if they don’t they are 11th everytime. Also u have Montenegro who will probably give u guys high points. Anyways good luck!
Sven W well Norway didn’t qualify in 2016 but yeah they probably will qualify if they have a good song as Sweden and Denmark are in their semi. As for the Netherlands I think this year they may be in danger with no Belgium and the first half draw. I don’t know what song Waylon will bring but I do think that it’ll have to be pretty amazing to qualify.
0:43 When you release that Filomena say Ukraine of course
Back in 30th January when we thought Semi-Final 2 was the massacre. Everything just flipped now.
🙄🙄🙄Switzerland is every year in The Group, with more countries... thats Not fair.. 😡👎🏼🙄🙄🙄
Ricky 17 you do realise that SF 1 has only one country that qualifies every year, while SF 2 has four
It is very dangerous to forget about the history. You can learn from the past so you don't make continuous bad mistakes. And of course we should remember the mistakes we have done and the people who have suffered from it
Erik Lundqvist I think we are really aware of our history... our mistakes and harm that our ancestors caused... every people or country have this kind of issues... some of them denies it... or admit it... we admit it... but I cannot be responsible for that my ancestors did... just for what I do... and today we are peaceful and respectful towards everyone... so the present is more important as well...
Greetings
Rui Duarte Yes, I'm not accusing anyone. I was just against the statement to forget about the past. In my hometown they built "raceprofiling institute" where they stripped people naked, measured them and pretended like they were doing science. From their "results" my government started sterilising people considered less equal. This was during the 1900s.
I have no blame in what they did, because they did this before I was born. But I am responsible for development in the society today. And I can compare the development in society that lead to this horrible crime before to society of today and make sure it never happens again.
It's a reminder of why we should treat people equal.
Thanks for the reply
Erik Lundqvist you’re right and I agree with you. We built our societies for the best or for the worst... about the statement, I think it was to say we are not celebrating our history through this ESC as many people was afraid of... instead we are celebrating the present and future.
Atrocities were committed along history and nowadays as well, in my country we had our account of atrocities committed against so many minorities, but fortunately today it’s not the case anymore... we just can hope to have a positive role and give an example to others, individually and as society...
0:44 Did she literally just say that... I really interpretated that wrongly
Beautiful hostess🌹🏵🌸
Well... i would say that it was overall a quite pleasant ceremony. Lot's of sympathy, good humour and... great tips. I would emphasize the "loose yourself" one, as the most interesting and seductive. All considered and in the worst case scenarios, either you discover where the beach is, or... Spain... our only direct neighbours and also a quite lovely country. Of course that, if at the beach, you feel capable and willing to do so, there's always the possibility of swimming in direction of the Madeira and Açores archipelagos… or even up to the north of Africa. It’s going to be a great event, i’m positive, and… as i was listening to the Mayor of Kiev, when he said he had the dream of hosting the Eurovision event once again soon, it occurred me: what if, we… yes, Portugal, somehow wins again? Nah… 😕
Poland 🇵🇱♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I don't understand why everybody thinks that semi final 2 is strong? I think it's very very weak! For me there were only 7 songs final worthy. ( Norway, Slovenia, Romenia, Denmark, Australia, The Netherlands and Ukraine) and Semi final 1 was way to good so many good songs didn't go trough. (Greece, Croatia, Belarus, Belgium, Armenia and Switzerland) It's really a shame.
I love the fact that the just drop the used papers on the floor😂
Actually, there were transparent boxes. At first, I was just like you :)
i thought the same at first but if you look closely you will see a transparent glass box
Now I see😇
I think there's a glass box
Unfortunate for Poland having neither the UK or Ireland vote in their semi. An automatic 18-24 televoting points out the window for them.
We have Germany and Italy, also Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Ukraine and Netherlands. Not bad for us
+eurovisionlandpl and we have France
eurovisionlandpl do we vote for you a lot then? ^Netherlands
And we have Australia, don't worry :)
Sven W - Yes, why do you doubt about it?
love the hostesses
Excellent English from both girls
not really. The blond one is not good...it's just ok
This time, the German broadcaster ARD / NDR didn't request an approval to vote at the second semi-final. What happened after the Allocation Draw? My home country will still vote at the second semi-final! XD 24:30
Larry der Entstellte same thought xD
Her russia pun was funny to bad the other woman didn't get it
'Russia: do you want me to rush it??' :))
To be honest I think these are scripted jokes. The only thing she failed was anouncing it was a joke, by laughing. The same (probably) with the "where's Portugal?" one. But they did a good job.
Miguel Lupi if it was scripted how come the other woman answer so seriously
I don't think it was scripted...
0:44 uKrAiNe oF cOuRsE
Filomena is sooo awesome :D They need to utilize her to the fullest.
Original song at intro: Te Deum by Charpentier
I even played it on my channel here :)
Omg this Filomena Cautela looks like Pastora Soler!!! Does Pastora have an identical twin !! :P
Only after watching this another time I've noticed that cyprus - Greece and Moldova - Romania were in the same bowl so they wouldn't be in the same SF, but they were lucky...
