Nation Song Contest 194 - Semi-Final Results (19:00 CEST)

[Sean]

Welcome back to the Nation Song Contest 194 live from Laskivé, Cydoni-Gibberia!

We've seen 53 incredible acts across the two semi-finals, but now it's time for the brutal part, as only 22 of these songs can make it through to the grand final. But, before we say goodbye to half of this year's participants, let us reminisce and look back over the history of our great contest as we reveal the results.

Over the course of this evening, CyGiTV will be taking a look at the history of each nation taking part in this year's contest, looking at their highlights and remembering the best moments from each nation, before revealing whether they have made it through to this edition's final or not. Remember, if you didn't make it, we're still proud of your contribution and I can confirm that this was a very hard-fought semi-final stage!

Join us live from 19:00 CEST as we will reveal all!​

Omg Sean, this concept is amazing!
So much attention given to each nation and everyone has their own individual minute of glory, wow. And the graphics are so great!
As a reply, I can probably name my favorite entry from each nation (from 148-193 period when I participated), because here with me I have lists of entries which I added to my collection (+to my radio)!
(I still need to add some from my WL period, so I won't consider this period now).
