Because for the artist that is, for him personally, the most important part. One could say that is his entire motivation for Eurovision. Weird choice for votes but totally understand his motivations.
Belgium was off key sadly, don’t get Malta though. The acts after Spain got trolled hard though, because then something started being off with sound mixing. San Marino being the biggest victim 😢
Pro russian votes I assume. Lot of them. Mustii signed a letter agaist israel, maybe israelis and pro-israelis didn't vote for him in masses. I wanted latvia to qualify instead of estonia not instead of belgium.
Pro russians would never vote for Latvia. They would and will vote for Serbia and Hungary. Latvian independence is like red cloth for all pro russians already more than 30 years.
SOOO happy for Latvia and Georgia, it must be something about the Swedish air that helps them qualify 😅 But gutted for Belgium and Denmark, they both deserved to go through so much
Belgium before the rehearsals: 6th in odds Belgium when the show starts: doesn’t even qualify I remember when people thought this was a potential winner, but boy were yall wrong. What a plot twist
I heard someone say the second was the strongest. After tonight I can firmly say that I disagree. Not that the songs were that bad, they were most of them just too average imo.
For all the artists whos didn't qualify: you were AMAZING, PERFECT AND YOU MAKE YOUR COUNTRY PROUD! All songs from semi 2 were amazing and derserved the final Congratulations to ALBANIA BELGIUM CZECHIA DENMARK MALTA SAN MARINO ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Well, very surprising that Denmark , Malta and Albania don't be qualified compare to others songs did it. Their songs were very high level and I really deceive for them. Absolutly, impressive by Georgia and Israël, who join m'y favorite songs with Ukraine, Slovenia and Sweden. Top 2024 ex-aequo without order, I like so.much each one, 🇬🇪🇺🇦🇮🇱🇸🇪🇸🇮 Particular notes for: 🇩🇰🇲🇩🇦🇱🇲🇹🇵🇱🇦🇺, I think they deserve to have their place more than other countries in the final. But as ABBA sang it, it is a part of" Rules of the game". Honestly, there IS a part of frustration. Whatever the result it is, they make excellent work and performances. Happy for 🇦🇹🇦🇲🇱🇻. Relating to Big five's performances, I like 🇪🇦and 🇩🇪 . I admit I 've been a little bit surprised by the qualification of some songs. I don't like Cha-cha-cha Song from Finland 2023 , sorry but you have presented much better songs the years before as "Black bird"(2014), "Looking back"(2020), "Lose control" (2009), or Pernilla's song (2012). Idem remarks for other countries. Congratulations to all participants for their performances and show during these two semi-finals.
The staging and presentation of this year’s Eurovision is a masterclass👏👏👏🇸🇪 Croatia, Switzerland, Ukraine and my own country Ireland to fight out Saturday,s final 👍🇨🇮
If Malta didn’t qualify with all-televoting, imho it wouldn’t have qualified with juries either, the performance was made for televoting. I’m surprised Latvia qualified thru televoting tho
@@manolosocal i disagree, the juries sometimes vote just as much for this kind of numbers than televoting. Like Chanel and Noa Kirel did good with juries too. And juries love Malta. 2010-2021 they would’ve been in the final in an unbroken streak if only juries voted. I think this is a classical case of ”televoting forgets small states”, performing first so you get overshadowed and the song didn’t stand out.
@@eddiethalen4979 ok, interesting! I didn’t know that about Malta. Thanks for telling me! I myself would’ve also seen Malta as a sure qualifier & like I said I was genuinely surprised Latvia qualified. But this year has many up-tempo numbers so Latvia stood out as the only ballad together with Israel tonight.
That segment where they made fun of Käärijä feels like going to a family reunion and everyone there is poking fun at you because of one embarrassing thing you did ages ago, and I feel completely bittersweet about it.
@@Justhomasd I think Switzerland clearly had the strongest male vocals. But I do think Dons was a close second (but his song is super boring). I think those two plus Germany’s Isaak are the strongest male vocals this year. Slimane is great but he wasn’t perfect at some moments.
very mean and false of the Swedish clip cut maker from the performances: the last and not relevant part of the song from the Netherlands gives not a right sample of the whole show/performance
@@escwilde222 In that case it goes to show that most broadcasters shouldn't get to pick. Several of the timeslots this year was atrocious. Is it so hard just to pick the refrain, you know that part that is supposed to be the highlight of the song?
@@sarrach94 the highlight of the song can be outside the refrain. That's up to the creativity of the artist. The difference is the beauty and their choice, not ours :)
@@escwilde222 Of course it can be, but too many countries this year choose a part that was barely representative of the song at all that just picking the refrain would've been better (imo).

@@susbrosaysyoutube well Belgium's singer (Mustii) had bad vocals and expected to nq. Denmarks saba had voice problems. But how the hell did latvia qualify
For all those people who are complaining about czechia not qualifying let me tell you something they were very close but as every song they needed some improvements I am not saying the song is bad or trash but it could have been better or in this case worse so think about it (they got 11th btw)

This semi-final is right up there with 2021 SF 1 as the strongest semi-final of the 2020s so far. Greece and Netherlands were the only two songs that I really, REALLY disliked, the rest was great, and most performances were also pretty good apart from Austria and San Marino.
The first time all baltic states qualified for the final🫢
Remember 2015🤫
since 2015
Congrats to Latvia 🇱🇻 and Estonia 🇪🇪 from Ukraine 🇺🇦 !!! You deserve it !!!
I’m sad bc I knew as soon as Latvia qualified, it was game over for Czechia, Malta and San Marino
@@AmazingJohnny lets be honest Estonia's song was not good compare to other...
Bro I honestly don't know what malta have to do anymore, like Sarah absolutely killed that performance and they STILL couldn't qualify smh

Probably cause it was a copy of Foureira in 2019

I know right. And Austria somehow qualified?
@@Justhomasd Austria deserved to Q imo. Malta and Belgium shouldve Q instead of Israel and Latvia...
@@ela5640 Kaleen literally cannot sing live. Pre-recorded vocals carried the whole performance
@@ela5640 Israel along with Norway had the best female vocals of the night. Same applies for Latvia and France for male vocals.
Agree
2:14 is funny because the Latvian guy looks like he has given up hope already but he ended up qualifying 😊
typical Latvian facial expression
LETS GOOOO!!🇳🇱🇳🇱
Sad that Belgium didn’t qualify though ✅
True… Ngl he slayed that performance.
Sorry for ye lots
Why show that part of Netherlands? I get the message and I love it but it doesn’t sound like the actual song
Probably just picked random parts to be the quickest to post
To influence televotes , like ofc they are gonna vote for netherlands bc of that part
@@susannemoseidbryhni9898 obviously these are not random 🤦♀🤦♀🤦♀
Yes, they should have shown the chorus instead.
Because for the artist that is, for him personally, the most important part. One could say that is his entire motivation for Eurovision. Weird choice for votes but totally understand his motivations.
My jaw dropped at latvia 😂❤
Mine too
One punch man
I think whole of Europe did…
Netherlands 🇳🇱 were so confident in the qualifying that they decided to take a chance with the recap
Semi final 1 results were perfect, and in the opposite you have this😭
This was such a bloodbath
It was always going to be lol, way stronger semi
I’m so mad with these qualifiers, Czechia was my favourite and I’m guessing Latvia stole the 10th place (deservingly tho)
@@mxfg1535 semi 1 was far better for me
"Perfect" as if Poland (or Australia) weren't NQ...

But gutted for Belgium and Denmark, they both deserved to go through so much
Belgium and Maltaaaaa
Greece 🇬🇷
the reason why some missed out is because there was not a song that was bad that semi final all of them was good
Belgium before the rehearsals: 6th in odds
Belgium when the show starts: doesn’t even qualify
I remember when people thought this was a potential winner, but boy were yall wrong.
What a plot twist
That's the nightmare repeat of Kate Ryan in 2006 and Sennek in 2018!
For me first semi finals was much more stronger than second semi finals
Same
My mom agrees XD.
No
I heard someone say the second was the strongest. After tonight I can firmly say that I disagree. Not that the songs were that bad, they were most of them just too average imo.
HOW DID AUSTRIA QUALIFY OVER BELGIUM? KALEEN’S PERFORMANCE WAS LITERALLY ONLY PRE-RECORDED VOCALS AND 0 LIVE SINGING
HOW DID MALTA NOT QUALIFY
Belgium was also horrendous. Czechia and Malta did such a great job
Same as Greece, every now and then she just forgot she was supposed to sing cause she was too busy making faces to the camera
Vinegar my friend! Belgium's song is only 20 seconds at the end! The whole song is just boring@@PoppyCox-lm4dd
