I'm not that sure Albania will get those 12s from Croatia and Slovenia. Montenegro yes and without Cyprus maybe a 12 from Greece. About Italian televote I would say a 7. San Marino and Estonia have had a huge visibility here, Israel for obvious reasons.

 

[GermanBango]

So I guess Finland or Spain will open then

 

[NikolaiMoller]

Where's Luxembourg?

 

[theditz83]

[GermanBango]

Where's Luxembourg?

First Half

 

[Realest]

Where's Luxembourg?

First half. Dont know why its missing.

 

[Realest]

or first?

 

[NikolaiMoller]

[Himan]

They might give it to Iceland again

So glad is second half!

I think they will, funny enough. Though that is maybe their best spot.

The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 Second Semi-Final is now over. Here are the results:

My desired qualifiers: Montenegro, Latvia, Austria, Greece, Luxembourg, Israel, Finland, plus three (and no more) of Australia, Ireland, Lithuania, Malta, Georgia, Denmark, Serbia.

Actual qualifiers (in order of announcement): Lithuania, Israel, Armenia, Denmark, Austria, Luxembourg, Finland, Latvia, Malta, Greece.

OUT: Australia, Montenegro, Ireland, Georgia, Czechia, Serbia.

Montenegro and Serbia are both out. Being as Slovenia and Croatia were eliminated on Tuesday evening, that means there won’t be a former Yugoslav country appearing on Saturday evening. I think it’s the first time that’s happened since 2013.

Congratulations to the ten countries’ artists which qualified, and commiserations to the six which failed to qualify. All gave impressive performances tonight, but only ten could go through to Saturday night’s Grand Final. So all 26 countries are now known for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 Grand Final. Roll on the Grand Final on Saturday evening.

I think will be 2nd, they always give us good RO and since it's not a big favourite maybe it's time. Or they'll leave it vacant, since they can't put there.

 

[Leydan]

Latvia screams death slot knowing Bjorkman. It has that profile. I can't imagine they'd have the guts to death slot Poland twice.
