As far as I have read they did test it but under exclusion of the fan press. Maybe they want to get the feedback from the broadcasters first.

Sounds like they just don't want press yapping about it, because the expected reaction is obvious. Hope we get some footage from inside the arena.

SAY NA NA NA!!! One of my favourite Eurovision 2019 songs

My winner. And for me, only one eurovision song that came after Say Na Na Na was close to being as good as Say Na Na Na. Now isn't that kinda krejza?

Serhat's qualification was fully deserved.

btw this reaction is epic. I still rewatch it from time to time

SAY NA NA NA!!! One of my favourite Eurovision 2019 songs

Agree I was happy it qualified. I met Serhat in Liverpool in 2023 and got a photo with him. Interesting guy!

Ooft, mess - I am so down for upsets, but not with Portugal getting through tbh. It's so DOA it's not funny. The only song aside from that I skip without fail when it pops up on my playlist.

I expect Portugal to qualiy with ease tomorrow - but let's wait and see

The general public does like Portugal - lets hope it is enough

Maybe not with ease but I’m expecting it too. On the other side we will see fan favourite flop(s).

And I thought that SF2 was going to be the most unpredictable!

Someone came up to our house saying we bought a Sauna! What on earth!

 

[goncalovieira]

Hi, Laika. Could you give me a link for tonight show?

 

[MopManMoss]

Why would a dead dog have a definitely legitimate stream to a Eurovision jury show

Who are those responses even from? Wiwibloggs?
The more interesting numbers will probably be provided by the audience poll.

 

[seriouslyscratchy1]

WHAT THE HECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone bet on Georgia with a 100% chance of winning

 

[seriouslyscratchy1]

Its changed back again nvm

 

[EscGeek]

Does somebody other than Miriana have a secret i should know?
If someone could send me the link to the secret, i would be grateful.

Por favore

i mean theoretically a country can get called three times and still not qualify; we'd know it's out tho if that happens within the early rounds.

Except they are all on screen for the last round and surely for an nq country s well as the qing country that will be at most the 3dd round
