1. Armenia
2. Ukraine
3. Russia
4. France
5. Australia

Yeah, I think that's going to be the top 5 (possibly in a different order though).

I would prefer Armenia, but I think Ukraine has better chances as of now. We never know though, I think being the last one performing is going to help Iveta since her performance already stands out.

Russia has a nice stage show, I just don't use the song...I tried to get into it but I can't.

Apparently in addition to JT, A-Teens (more like A-Middle Aged People), Alcazar, Army of Lovers, Robyn and September will be there too. Probably for interval acts.

Edit: Meh they won't be there, they'll be seen in a video directed by Åkerlund as an introduction to JT :/

Had to re-watch this, and ugh I'm still annoyed this anthemic masterpiece didn't go through
It really is the best performance she's done of the song, so I'm happy she was able to pull through. I think they should've done more out of the visuals for the song and kept the box from the Norwegian finals, even made it bigger like an iceberg or something. But what done is done, hopefully we'll come back stronger next year

I'm still not over it! She deserved it sooo much. I have to admit I was a bit nervous for her before the semi but her performance was flawless.

Still proud of her though, I can only imagine what she's been through

You can really tell she gave it all, so I get that she's proud of herself! Listening to it, it sounds like a winner song with the amazing chorus The song hasn't had too much support by the GP in Norway, so I guess we kinda could tell from there that it wasn't that likely to make it through I wonder if we'd do better with "Feel Da Rush" or "Afterglow", but "Icebreaker" was clearly the best song.

Walk On Water is such an amazing mid-summer bop I need it to slay too

Afterglow would've token you to the finals.

Whenever Walk on Water is mentioned I always think about this song:

I don't know if I could tolerate seeing "Feel Da Rush" in ESC. I do think "Afterglow" could do good though! It was my second favorite. I can only imagine people's reactions if we sent "Laika".

I really gained a lot of respect for Agnete last night, and I think she has a bright future ahead of her. Hopefully she gets the help and support she needs. The first time I heard the song I actually thought it could be a possible winner, it's just so powerful, and the story behind the song makes it even better! However I think it's a song that people either love or hate.

Oh well, I guess this wasn't Scandinavia's year! I think Sweden could do fairly well though.

They're not saying the 8 and the 10? **** SVT.

Yeahh that's annoying.

[KillingYourCareer]

Not them keeping the same scoreboard as 2013. They turned the voting system upside down and they didn't even bother to make new graphics

I get it. If they said the entire top three the voting would last for like 90 minutes. Maybe they could squeeze in the 10 points but 8 at the very least had to go.

"Feel Da Rush" is just...no "Afterglow" was nice yeah and I think sending "Laika" maybe could've gotten us to the final because it's so dumb but memorable

I've liked her a lot since Stjernekamp and she seems to keep growing as a person and artist all the time which is really nice to see! I was a bit weirded out myself by the tempo change at first, but it took a couple plays and I was into it. The story makes it really emotional and powerful for sure, it's given me chills maany times

Hmm we'll see, they'll do ok I think.

[KillingYourCareer]

Okay, the 26-11 places in televote are going to be announced in less than a minute. They'll basically appear on the scoreboard every 5 seconds SVT truly killed all the fun, I hope the country that's hosting next year changes this.

Or maybe they should've kept it 100% televote since the last year's public winner was sabotaged but they can't since EBU wants to be able to control the winner (notice how since 2009 only rich countries have won)

I love Il Volo, but the reintroduction of the juries was vital to save the contest. The west was not going to sit at the bottom of the scoreboard forever

Except it won the televote every year except for 2011?
