EUROVISION 2024 - REACTING TO THE SEMI FINAL 1 QUALIFIERS 

They sure killed all the drama when they immediately opened up with Serbia, Portugal and Slovenia. Everything after that was a foregone conclusion.

The "delulu land I must say" got me 😂

The order of calling Serbia, Portugal, and Slovenia 1st 2nd 3rd was CRAZY! I wasn’t confident in Serbia and Slovenia so that was such a moral boost for the rest of the results. Very happy overall!

I am so happy for Slovenia and Serbia. Now all ex yug countries are in finale:)🥰

Portugal was amazing 👏

the dad breathing in the background is sending me into orbit

I'm over the moon ! 9 of my 10 favorite songs are through, only Azerbaijan didn't (they ruined it with staging and costumes I think). I'm so happy Slovenia and Portugal made it. I was most impressed by Portugal, I watched at my parents house and I almost started crying, even my dad was completely silent ! That performance was perfection in all possible ways, just ... wow ! And Ireland ... I remember I did put that song dead last of all songs in the beginning when the songs were coming out, but now I was rooting for her big time, what an amazing performance that was !

Absolutely thrilled for slovenia ❤

"Delulu land, I must say" Lol, lol. Thanks as always Rachel, for passionate, but objective, reporting and supporting.

Voted for Slovenia and Luxembourg! So thrilled and relieved they made it! Congrats to all the finalists. 🎉Well-deserved!❤

Sent 5 votes each on Serbia & Portugal, we had to have them in the final

Thank you so much for your commentary Rachel, you are definitely the best youtuber for Eurovision related stuff 😃 Now, I'm so happy for Serbia, we are all proud of our princess Teya Dora 🇷🇸 And good luck to all the finalists, especially to Croatia who will have my support and votes 🇭🇷 Meow cat, please meow back! 🐱🐱🐱

4:41 "Who's not made it?" says Rachel, as Poland appears on screen 😞

I remember your excitement last year when Slovenia qualified for the final, and this year you are just as happy because of Slovenia, how nice to see that. love from sLOVEnia.

Everyone exceeded my expectations. And I’m a notorious crank.

I'm sooo happy for Slovenia and Cyprus. Veronika, Teresa and Maria & Rim Tim Tagi Dim were my favorites of the night. I also loved ireland. Sooo pleased with Portugal and Serbia, well deserved as well. The rest was expected. I didn't want finland to qualify though , I would have prefered poland but I understand why it did

I'm amazed that 6/7 of the songs in the first half qualified and the first 5 songs in the running order managed to, kinda proves how strong the first half was. I'm shocked and not shocked that Poland was the first half casualty tho. Shocked because Poland tends to slide in with the diaspora votes but not shocked because that performance coming after Ukraine and then Croatia following was a nail in the coffin.

Lovely reaction, thanks for all the vids about Eurovision. Love from a very happy Slovenia!

I am so happy. I can't believe 🇸🇮🇵🇹🇷🇸🇱🇺 all qualified. The only song I'm sad didn't was Poland but Finland was always going to.

Your reaction to the first three making it was the same as mine, so incredibly happy that all three of them pulled through. And i also screamed when they called the Witch. That performance from Bambie Thug was fantastique. I'm SOOOO bouncy right now.

9 out of 10 congrats, this Lady knows her stuff.

I was so relieved after they called first 3 finalists (🇷🇸🇵🇹🇸🇮). I was so scared, especially for Slovenia. She was so emotional, she cried after they called her. Deserved final, definitely. And it was obvious from the start that Croatia is 100% sure. After all I'm satisfied, but I'm a little bit sorry for Azerbaijan 🇦🇿. I liked their song a lot. And I am satisfied that I also get 9/10 correctly. I missed Poland🇵🇱 (my predicted Q,but NQ) and Cyprus (my predicted NQ,but Q)😃 Can't wait for Thursday and rooting for Norway 🇳🇴 (which is my favourite if we don't count my Croatia). Meow to all.😺😺

I was so disappointed the last spot was either for Luxemburg or Poland. I wanted them both in. But I was very excited Portugal made it through and glad to see your reaction to it.

Yall tripping for Serbia,shes gonna be in top 10 in finals.

Ireland, Slovenia, Serbia and Portugal all made it and I am so happy about it.

Over the moon for Serbia, and overall satisfied with the results (7/10); I'm also quite surprised that Poland didn't qualify.

Portugal was underated as usual but did it again! 🇵🇹☝️ So deserved, Iolanda 💎 🌹

Thank you all who voted for iolanda! So proud of Portugal! Please vote for iolanda in the final! This is a SONG contest, but it seems more like a "who puts the more fireworks or strange things" contest! People are mesmerized by the lights, the stage full of things to complement the act. They don't apreciate the melody, the quality of the song itself. We brought a masterpiece act (song and dance) we don't need "fireworks". It's sad that the contest is more about the visuals than the song. But we're in the final, even without the votes of Spain, France, Switzerland, Belgium... 🙌

Your reaction to Slovenia was great. I thought I was delulu with thinking it'd qualify (it's honestly my #1 song of the year with Croatia a VERY close 2nd).

IRELAND FOREVER!

9/10 here too 🥳 I also thought Poland would sneak in, but unlike you, I did not see a Slovenia Q. - Normally this is where I'd go on a rant about the result, but honestly I'm very happy with them, I cannot remember the last time I basically had nothing to add, lol. - Maybe the slightest thing I will complain about is Australia missing out, but that's more because I preferred it over a couple of other songs that DID go through. I appreciated their showcasing aboriginal cultures, so it would have been nice to give them a second shot. But oh well, that's how the cookie crumbled. - Announcing Serbia first, then Portugal, then Slovenia was honestly brilliant. It felt a bit like "steady on, leave a shocker for the last spot!", but it was nice to see them getting through quickly when they all had question marks over them. - Yay Dad!! 8/10 is a great result 😀 Semi 2 is gonna be soooo jacked - but I fear for Malta, and Belgium has been less convincing in rehearsals... we'll wait and see, but I'm glad at least you have BE first

Happy for Serbia 🎉 Tnx for support❤

Memo to Rachel's dad: Up your game, man. 😉

I'm sad for Moldova 😢 i loved her performance.

I had the same list as you, and thought Poland would qualify. Very happy for Ireland! I also loved Moldova but I knew that between Moldova and Slovenia, only one would qualify and it would probably be Slovenia. Very happy for Raiven, she looked shocked that she made it! Can't wait for Thursday

Portugal is art...my best this year

Loving the spontaneous reactions! “Delulu Land” lol 😂 see you tonight! It’s gonna be a banger

Watch Teya, rising from ashes to the top on Saturday. Watch.

Rip the pink highlighter you served the semi final well

I'm Portuguese. Happy we are in the final. Its a very good song with beautiful voice, sounds and great acting with the dancers on stage. It flows in such a nice way, and its refreshing, almost like, less is more mentality. The other songs who qualified are also good. The final on saturday will be amazing.

So proud of Iolanda, so proud of Portugal!!! Thanks for your support 😊❤🇵🇹

Wow that was quick! Respect

Love that 5/5 out of the starting performances qualified, and in general the 1st half did better than the 2nd half. It's a reminder to everyone that at the end of the day, it's about the song and performance, not the running order.

I have been waiting for this vdeo ALL NIGHT but it was sooo worth it

I am again so happy to see that the televoters also appreciate a well sung quality ballad! And that the vocals matters not only to the juries. 9/10, I was really surprised when Cyprus was callled. Starting and ending with a girl bop - I felt that Luxembourg was much stronger vocally. Also; 5 first entries qualifying! And 6 qualifiers in the first half. Three slots in a row towards the end NQ. Also happy to see that if the entry is good enough one can qualify from any slot. And NQ from any too

Nice to see Ireland back in the Grand Final

Happy with the results 😂❤ goou Portugal

wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that Ireland won this semifinal. For sure it wasn't a landslide by Croatia at all. Ireland goes very up and makes this year even more unpredictable.

I predicted 9 out of 10 this time, beating the bookmakers' prediction. Like you, I was also pessimistic about Serbia, thinking Poland would advance instead because of diaspora support (taking into account Poland's history of almost always qualifying with the televote). Very happy to be wrong about that because Serbia is one of my favorites, and Poland did nothing for me. However, I did put Slovenia through because it just felt so right coming after Iceland and Germany.

Nice, wholesome video. Thank you and your dad! Would love to hear your dad’s reactions too someday. (The first video of your channel I watched.)

I got 9/10 too, Rachel. Cyprus was my miss (Azerbaijan was in their spot.) Pretty satisfied with how the evening went, but I am aching for Fahree and Ilkin.

Aaaaahh, the excitement, I love it!!

Great qualifiers. So happy.

Serbia was amazing. Teya Dora, Ramonda=Perfection❤️

Was watching with my parents and they HATED Slovenia and Finland for all the nudity used. I was certain the odds were gonna be right since Serbia came 2nd and was a ballad many might forget. I thought either Cyprus or Serbia since they’re both at the start and the trio of performers at the start made Liar look cheap tbh. Was ecstatic when Croatia and Ireland qualified though!

this is such a fun reaction! i'd love to hear what your dad thinks as well!

I was pulling for Australia and Azerbaijan over Cyprus and maybe Finland but they were both super long shots. I'm just riding the high on the Bambie Thug train and looking forward to Thursday, possibly an even crazier semi.

Ireland was awesome, deserve 12 points

Your dads breathing made me think I was insane for a second

Your dad breathing behind made me feel like I'm meditating 😂

I'm afraid I was in delulu land right next to your dad lol I wanted Australia to go through, too, but overall, I'm very happy, I'm 9 out of 10

So happy for my favourites Ukraine, Ireland, Luxembourg, Serbia, Cyprus and Slovenia all qualified to the final the only countries that I voted for that didn’t go through were Poland, Australia and Iceland, I expect the drama and shock qualifiers to come on Thursday as pretty much all 10 that went through tonight we could already guess were going through

You were as excited as I was with Croatia and Ireland hahaha.

I really love the list, best way to watch the semi finals

10/10 to me I was not sure of Finland but can't see another one going through so let's see if I will do a perfect prediction on semi 2 too

Bambie knocked it out of the park. Completely took me by surprise that ireland was my favourite followed by ukraine. Really glad serbia, portugal (my country) and slovenia made it. Everyone i had on my list went through so couldn't have gone better.

Me encanta como reacciona ☺️

thanks the love for Portugal, 😘

I laughed at you saying your prediction might be off with Serbia and then Serbia is the first to qualify 😂

Croatia ❤❤❤❤❤

Well done ireland Bambi

Voted for Luxembourg and Portugal! Super happy today

Omg your reaction to Ireland - just like mine! 😊

Дякуємо за огляд!!!

Ireland we did it baby🤗yahe.

We got the same wrong one. But happy with the results :)

you have no idea how feral i went when slovenia got through. i voted for 5 this semi and all 5 got through I was so relieved

How about Ireland, eh? UNREAL.

Portugal

Doomsday Blue could be a season finale piece in a HBO Series📺 🎥🎬🍿 the audience is captivated & Spellbound!

I really like your reaction when Petra announced Ireland. All the show was spectacular. I'll miss Azerbaijan and Poland.

10/10 yeeeaah im happy

I can understand the result & staging matters

BAMBIE 💙 Ireland 🇮🇪💙💙💙💙

Surprise Ireland! Good job! Fantastic job! Winner alert Irland and Croatia!

Disappointed Australian but couldn't justify a spot for them. Maybe if they'd made an effort with the staging it would have been different.

Also surprised about Cyprus; I didn't even realize Poland was in play. Six of the first seven qualified; that's unusual, isn't it?

P O R T U G A L 🤍 I O L A N D A 🇵🇹

Rachel, and what do you think of UK, Sweden and Germany?

SERBIA❤❤❤TEYA DORA AMAZING

Poland was surprised for sure.

Ireland 🇮🇪 , best Eurovision performance in history - Bambie, every Goth and alternative soul in the world is insanely proud of you!🇮🇪🧙‍♀️👑🖤 This is theatrical extravaganza, a storytelling experience in 3 minutes, a journey that casts a spell over the viewer just like Bambie is evoking enchantment on stage - and on top of that a once-in-a-lifetime performer, an addictively refreshing song without boundaries, and a staging that doesn't only captivate the dark souls who feel drawn to witchcraft anyway, but also the masses who have no choice but crowning the witch! Bambie is not only an artist who renders me speechless on a daily basis, but also a heartwarming human being who can make countless hearts jump for joy with their infectious smile. This is a performance that will be eternally engraved in the history books, and I will rewatch it over and over again until my last breath on earth!🖤✨️🌙

I hated how long they let Ireland hang. I was worried after Cyprus got announced because I didn’t expect Poland to NQ.

I was 9/10 on the app, I didn't have Lithuania going through and had Moldova instead.

Feeling conflicted about some if these balkan countries going through despite bad execution on stage, didn't really need Luxembourg and Cyprus both either. But ultimately "fine"

Someone said Ollys mic thing fell off?

Croatia 😎💪

this time, I generally agree with the actual result; "generally", not "absolutely", because only Finland I don't agree with in terms of qualification.

I think the pink highlighter ran out it's hardly noticeable...it could just be i'm blind aswell though 😂

I was having 9/10 too, my mistake was Slovenia instead of Australia ❤❤❤❤
