ther are better than armenia
I'm very happy for Finland!
Surprised that Malta made it to the final!
Disappointed with the Bulgarian performance.
And sad because FYR Macedonia were left behind...
I wish Montenegro was there, they deserved it, but in my prediction, it was replaced by Portugal (I can't say Im said)... Armenia off course dont deserve it, but we all know why... Im very happy for Finland and Sweden... And Malta, Iceland and Israel, gave an excelent show
Finland, will be V dangerous, we (sweden) will have a good chance but as long as the horrible song from Norway does not win, it is just fine. Bosnia or Finland, my guesses and hopes.
Hello Everybody, Barev,
Salut, Grüß, Zdravo,Hej, Ola, Shalom, Komið þið sæl, Merhaba, Hola, Привет, Ahoj, Hei,
Good luck Armenia and all the Esc Countries
@erika my friend i said many times what u told, i totally agree with u 
and we musnt forget it is just a game , i dont take it so seriously i dont think esc is a reason to insult eachother. that must be the opposite esc is for uniting ppl not making them to fight see u all after the semifinal, good luck everybody enjoy the shows and dont forget it isnt the end of world
@ For real
when a contestant is considered a favourite to be in the top 5 then you know how it goes...everyone starts digging up dirt. Sakis Rouvas gets nasty comments all the time, Alexander Rybak as well and Hadise of course is no other. Pay little attention to those comments, they hardly bring any results to the actual esc voting.
Stay positive for tonight, thumbs up for Hadise and the rest of the contestants! Enjoy the show!
vote for number 14 at 14 of may! 
Yess Turkey is number one!!!
Goog luckk hadisee

Malta & Finland are the best in opinion. Remember folks this is a song contest and not a beauty contest!!!!!!!

I am voting for Switzerland tonight - love the song and its the best in the semi final although there are some great entries here like Turkey, Sweden, Iceland, Bosnia, Armenia, Romania...
I would not be shocked by any means though if Malta did not get through and honestly I think it would be a better final for it cos I have never got your woman's appeal
3 min later "towards eurovision" program starts on TRT
watch it 
Well i think Portugal are way and above the best in SF1. I will also be rooting for Andorra (PLEASE just one final, they deserve it) Switzerland and Belarus, haha yeah cant believe i like this one, but i do
We all know Turkey and Armenia are guarenteed a place no matter what for obvious reasons.
ENJOY IT EVERYONE!
VOTE PORTUGAL
@erika my friend thank u very much i liked her shoes alot too they r very popular this year and yes u r right the dress that she wears is very very very old ottoman-turkish dress about 500 years old but nobody wears them anymore they r now in a new style like elena from romania used in her rehearsal , hadise just wanted to show smth traditional and really sibel tüzün , ani lorak showed their underwears too but everybody was liking them i find it very unfair , everybody is really against hadise whatever she does they will call her cheap, b*tch , talentless etc but i dont find any of these comments realistic , she dances good , she is a very nice and modest person in real life , i loved all of her songs , good luck hadise we will always love u and good luck to all other singers they all deserve some respect for me at least they r all trying to do their best for their countries so i like all of them even i dont like their songs
@Joao Fonseca
yeess of course
i will vote for portugal and bosna( trust

Turkey
Iceland
Malta

@ For real
About Hadise's dress commets.
It was this pic. that Hadise showed the world a bit more than supposed i guess. It was an unfortunate moment. But calling her a sl*t for that??? I thought that outfits like that are preety common in Turkey. Oriental dancers wear them all the time.
If it makes you feel any better, i thought her shoes were to die for! I'd wear them i a minute!!!
Where's Andorra!!! Andorra deserves to be in the final!!!!!
guys, I just have to tell you it's been WONDERFUL to read all your messages of support to Portugal's song! I really really appreciate it. it means A LOT to know that a lot of people in Europe know what an awesome song is about, regarding both music (vocals and instruments) and lyrics
I just want to state that it's now really important for us to assure that those who like and support our song, can actually vote for us! Cause first of all, it's major to go through the show and get to the fina, so, for those who will vote tonight, I just can't help but tell you to vote for Portugal if you like it, even if it's not your TOP favourite. Sometimes people rely only on their first, even if they have other two or three favourites and then these favourites don't benefit from their vote and eventually get burnt by that. SO, I really want to thank, in advance, everyone who is going to vote for Portugal! thanks a lot from the bottom of our hearts
From Portugal with love*
P.S. ahh! and don't forget the benefits and amazing advantages of having Lisbon, Portugal hosting Eurovision SC next year!
have a look at this video I created and check it out by yourself: http://www.youtube.c(...)/watch?v=uMp5gb88NvM
thanks a lot again!
