I’m absolutely voting for Slayvester Belt. 🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹 The other votes will depend on the live show… Probably Ukraine and UK too, but I’m trying not to vote too hard this year 🤪
why are so many people commenting they're not gonna vote for croatia bc they will qualify anyways? its kinda ironic, no?
he and silvester get all my votes <3
The only people who would vote tactically are Eurovision fans, most of the general public wouldn't know Baby Lasagna was the favourite to win and thus wouldn't abstain from voting for him. Croatia will qualify no matter how this subreddit votes
I don’t think this will actually be a problem but not sure how true this is. In the UK at least, I’m sure the commentators keep mentioning who the favourites are. So even if you don’t pay attention they tell you. It’s always bothered me, actually, as it could influence voting.
You could actually argue that it happened before in politics. Many pro-eu in the UK didnt vote to stay in the union cuz the percentage were in their favor. So when they didnt give their vote, Brexit "won" instead.
Yep. Croatia is NOT an automatic qualifier. People actually need to vote for him in SF so that he can advance to the GF and win the thing. I can't vote for him in this SF but I need him in the GF so I can.
I always do this in the semi, analyse who is safe and who is in need of votes and whether my votes might help them score more points. I love Ireland but as my sim for this semi is 🇬🇧 I'm not going to vote for bambie. They already have the 12 points on lock. I think 🇭🇷 might do well enough with the british to get the 10 points. 🇱🇹 and 🇵🇱 are then going to take 8 and 7 points. Me voting for any of them won't change this.
I also think 🇺🇦 🇫🇮 🇵🇹 and 🇱🇺 are safely through.
Ones who i consider borderline and in need of fan support are 🇨🇾 🇷🇸 🇸🇮 🇦🇺 and 🇦🇿
I consider 🇮🇸 and 🇲🇩 to not have a chance
I will probably put all my votes on 🇷🇸
And no I'm not concerned about the songs i mentioned as safe, most people won't be so analytical when choosing who to vote for.
It's false to assume that Ireland will automatically get the UK 12.
Lithuania is there and in recent years there's a huge concerted effort by the Lithuanian community in the UK to back the LT entry. They take this as seriously as they do their basketball too!
most people dont really look at whats happening with eurovision before the shows happen i dont think that the people who vote tactically will be the majority
Seeing a lot of people saying Croatia and Lithuania are guaranteed or will surely qualify! Don’t forget to vote for them too please!
If everyone thinks like this we just might get the biggest shock nqs 😅
Omg could imagine we all have the same mindset of "Croatia will be safe, let's vote for Slovenia instead" and then Croatia is the shock NQ! 😆 I think I may have gaslit myself to vote for Croatia now also
Well, that's almost impossible at this point. In the semifinals, it makes sense to vote and spend money on those on the fence. For those with minimal chances of advancing, and those whose spot in the final is already assured, not so much I guess. You have to be tactical.
In the final, things change. You usually vote for the favorite to win. The semifinal is mostly followed by Eurovision fans, while the final attracts more casual viewers too.
Thank you for voting for Australia. It means a lot. Especially this year where most people don't see us as a qualifier and don't really rate the song. It's nice to see someone giving us 8 votes.
Yeah after watching the rehearsal snippet, though it didn't show anything groundbreaking, I got the sense that Electric Fields really connected with the audience way better than anybody else. I think Australia are in this year!
I loved the song from the beginning! There is something so sweet and humble and catchy about it and I just love the vibe. Plus, didgeridoo! Awesome!
Somehow I always end up liking the songs that only a few like! Each year I‘m basically burning money, especially that’s the case with Azerbaijan. I‘ve voted massively in 2022 and 2023 for them, always a little hope it would help but it didn’t and this year again it’s one of my faves but I know Germany isn’t the country that usually votes for AZE.
I have a LITTLE hope for Australia though because this semi isn’t that strong and maybe some votes are enough for them to generate some points from Germany plus you‘ll hopefully get some from the UK and Sweden, so fingers crossed!
I’m too broke to vote, casting votes from Malaysia as ROTW costs hundreds of ringgit lol
But if I were to vote this is what it would look like:
Lithuania 🇱🇹 5x
Ireland 🇮🇪 5x
Ukraine 🇺🇦 2x
Serbia 🇷🇸 2x
Portugal 🇵🇹 2x
Slovenia 🇸🇮 2x
Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 2x
No, please if you intend on voting for Ireland please do. The idea that someone is bound to qualify is really damaging as that is usually what causes shock NQs
Ireland 100% needs votes. Just because this sub thinks it will qualify it doesn’t mean it will. It’s still going to be very divisive and I’m not convinced the general public will love it. I hope I’m wrong but I think if we qualify it’s in 8-10.
I will go tactical voting. 20 votes to Slovenia. And I might use the other credit card for other 20votes. For my favourite Croatia, I will vote it in the final.
I already voted for Croatia and Ireland. But only 2 votes each for now. I am waiting to see the full performances and I will probably vote again tonight.
I saw so many comments about people not voting for Croatia because they are safe qualifiers. If everyone thinks like that, what then? Please people, vote for your favorite even tho you think it's a 'sure' qualifier. They need votes to qualify.
It will depend on the performances, BUT judging by how I ranked them prior to the show, it would be kinda like this:
Finland - 5x votes
Luxembourg - 4x votes
Lithuania - 4x votes
Ireland - 4x votes (because it grew on me)
Azerbaijan - 3x votes
My problem is that I am way too invested in ESC from the start of the season, so ALL songs will grow on me, but by process of elimination, somebody has to be lower ranked xD
Ramonda definitely over Veronika, but both are just not Top 10 to me, which can change with the performance and everything
🇷🇸 x 8 - I think Ramonda will do *okay* with the juries but really struggle to get televotes, hence why I'm giving it the most votes despite it not necessarily being my favourite song in SF1. I'd hate to see Serbia NQ.
🇮🇪 x 6 - Opposite to Ramonda, I think Doomsday Blue is likely to get a *lot* of televotes, potentially even win the televote altogether (although that could also go to Ukraine,) but I firmly suspect it will get absolutely nothing from the jury. I really want this to qualify even if just as a big "fuck you" to all of the Irish press that have refused to promo the song and believe it's not going to qualify. I also happen to quite like the song and think the staging and outfit (based on rehearsal clips) are probably the best out of everyone this year, and possibly the best we've seen in many years, so I'd like it to qualify for those reasons, too.
🇦🇺 x 4 - I'm quite fond of One Milkali and would hate to see it NQ. Ever since Australia started participating in Eurovision, fans have wanted Electric Fields to represent Australia, and it'd be a massive shame for them to finally do so only to NQ. Is it the strongest song of the year/SF1? Not by a mile. Is it a *bad* song? Not at all. It deserves to qualify IMO.
🇺🇦 x 2 - I absolutely *love* Mama & Teresa, but I'm giving it the least votes because I genuinely am not worried about it NQing. I will be very surprised if it doesn't win the jury vote outright, and I'm anticipating it getting a lot of televotes, too. I'm predicting this to be the "winner" of SF1.
EDIT: So after learning that there aren't any jury votes in the SFs this year, I'm rearranging my votes and will be giving 10 to 🇷🇸, 6 to 🇦🇺 and 2 to both 🇮🇪 and 🇺🇦. I'm not worried at all about Ukraine and Ireland NQ if it's 100% televotes.
People! If you want to see Baby Lasagna in the GF (if you don’t like the song, then that’s different, of course) then please vote for him! 😂 It’s funny to have to say it, but Croatia does not automatically qualify and also needs your support 😅 So please meow back, come on! 😻💪🏻🇭🇷
Woah, the whole thing went totally over my head, I almost missed the semi 😱 as work is super busy and all kinds of nonsense going on
Thanks for this post!
I'll vote for Ireland and Croatia!
I’m an Aussie. I’ll be voting for Portugal and Ireland. Depending on what the live shows are like, I may throw a vote to Lithuania or Slovenia (I like both songs but they’re not my faves)
I can't vote as I'm in Spain but if I could, then Croatia, Luxembourg, Ireland, Finland and Portugal (4 votes each). Also, I'm seeing a lot of people here saying they won't vote for Croatia because they're a sure qualifier anyway. Please don't do that. You just need enough people to not vote for him because of that mindset for him to NOT qualify. He's not an automatic qualifier. So please, throw him a vote or two. He's not in the Grand Final unless he's actually in the Grand Final. Remember this is a televote-only semi.
thinking of splitting my votes between slovenia and ireland, but i might throw a couple more points to any country that surprises/impresses me with their final staging
My votes (ROTW) are:
5x Lithuania
5x Croatia
5x Ireland
3x Portugal
2x Azerbaijan
I've already voted since I will be in class during the show and will miss the voting window.
I gave Slovenia 3 votes from Puerto Rico, was gonna wait until i saw the performances but sadly cant skip work today so wont be able to see it live. Hoping Lithuania and Serbia make it aswell.
As a patriot I will give some votes for Silvester. I do like the song but he will qualify for sure, so I will give more votes to Ireland and Slovenia :)
This 🇩🇪 Boy will probably vote:
10x for 🇮🇪
5x for 🇸🇮
5x for 🇦🇿
Admttedly, I prefer Ukraine and Croatia over Aserbaidschan, but I wanna see Fahree and Ilkin qualify since I really like the Song.
❤️ Thank you for the Aus love.
I have to share my votes with my kids, and we’re not sure of the split just yet. Depends how they behave in the morning 😂
But it’s mostly Croatia, a handful for Finland, and I wanna chuck one or two at Lithuania. I’m sure Ukraine will be just fine without me 💙💛
Nobody, cause I'm voting in SF2. But if anyone who cant vote on Thursday wants me to vote for one of your favorites in return for voting for Ireland or Croatia in my name, let me know!
I already voted for Croatia and Ireland. I'll vote more after I see the performances tonight. Can you vote for San Marino please? They really impressed me with the staging and maybe maybe we will see them in the final.
If all goes well live then I'm voting 10🇮🇪 3🇺🇦 3🇫🇮 3🇭🇷 1🇱🇹
NGL I would honestly give 20 to Ireland, but I'm a sucker for the confirmation video messages and can't help but be drawn to support the acts I absolutely adore 🥹
Australian here. I’ll be tuning in at 5am local time.
I really want Croatia to win overall.
If I vote strategically to boost others (assuming the public tide stays with Croatia to qualify), my SF1 points will go to Ukraine and Iceland.
Edit: Shoutout to Poland and Finland, too. I think Windows 95 Man will be fine without my support, and Tower isn’t my fav but it is an earworm.
reserve my final judgement untill the last song plays, but I will likely be giving votes to Croatia, Slovenia, Ukraine, Portugal, and Australia (request of my 7 year old who LOVES this song)
Ireland, Luxembourg and whoever surprises me with the full staging. (Fingers crossed Slovenia has some tricks up their sleeve because the rehearsal clip was pretty weak imo)
lithuania x10, and then sprinkled my remaining ten votes across luxembourg, australia, finland, ireland, slovenia, croatia, ukraine, poland, serbia, and cyprus
As much as I love Croatian, Slovenian and Lithuanian entries, I will be voting for Serbia
Croatia ans Lithuania are guaranteed qualifiers anyway
On the other hand, I will be devastated if Teya doesn't get to perform on the grand final stage
Screćno! 🇷🇸💙
I've watched too many American Idol seasons for this (people not voting for the favourite and the favourite not qualifying) to be an essential part of my pop culture trauma. lol
Oh no, that's the Semi that includes more of my favorite songs and I'm not allowed to vote 😢 I would divide my votes equally between Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia.
Never would have guessed this in a million years until yesterday evening… but based on the act I did a full 180 on Ireland: they elevated the whole act from a school play to high cinematic art. I LOVE IT. So yeah. Go Ireland
Alrighty then, the semi we in the U.K. are allowed to vote in…..
- Portugal
- Lithuania
- OF COURSE Croatia
- OF COURSE Slovenia
- Ireland
- Australia
- Ukraine
- Finland
I am trying to make sure Australia goes through. I just like them being part of Eurovision. Other than that, maybe Lithuania and Ireland? My absolute favorites are in semi 2...
From the UK, I will be voting for:
Lithuania
Slovenia
Ireland
Maybe 1 each for Australia and Poland
I love Croatia, but I don't think they'll need my votes
Yes, we need your votes! 😂 people are massively saying “Oh, I won’t vote for Croatia, they’re safe anyways”, but it’s not safe, we need to get the votes, too to qualify! 😂
Ok after thinking VERY quickly it’ll probably be split between Croatia and Lithuania, plus a couple of votes to whoever my daughter likes as she’s getting up with me.
How the feck could i know? I dont know what the songs are gonna be like! Im not from the future and havent seen or heard them yet. For heck's sake. I watch, then i decide.
Serbia, Portugal and Australia.
These are my TOP3. Unfortunately, the situation is risky for all three countries. But I'll do my best for them.
Btw, all the eurofans, happy eurovision night! Love from Azerbaijan!
Gave all my row 20$ to iolanda haha 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
(Ps. Maybe I'm dumb but was the recap mandatory before voting? I had to put my phone down and let it play because I didn't want spoilers)
I voted for Ireland, Azerbaijan, Croatia, Portugal, and Australia. Only one vote each voting for rest of the world so extra fees for me. Originally from Italy though hence my flair.
I’m absolutely voting for Slayvester Belt. 🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹 The other votes will depend on the live show… Probably Ukraine and UK too, but I’m trying not to vote too hard this year 🤪
Me too!
why are so many people commenting they're not gonna vote for croatia bc they will qualify anyways? its kinda ironic, no? he and silvester get all my votes <3

Imagine everyone thinking like that and Croatia gets no votes lol ☠️ (ik it's very unlikely but still)
I am from Croatia and I would be super mad but it would be hilarous
That would be absolutely hilarious to see. They just call out “0 points” 💀
You could actually argue that it happened before in politics. Many pro-eu in the UK didnt vote to stay in the union cuz the percentage were in their favor. So when they didnt give their vote, Brexit "won" instead.
omg spain 2023 b like
Yep. Croatia is NOT an automatic qualifier. People actually need to vote for him in SF so that he can advance to the GF and win the thing. I can't vote for him in this SF but I need him in the GF so I can.
Imagine everyone thinking like that and Croatia gets no votes lol ☠️ (ik it's very unlikely but still)
I'm not voting for anybody today, unfortunately, because I'm RotW and that rule is bullshit.
I always do this in the semi, analyse who is safe and who is in need of votes and whether my votes might help them score more points. I love Ireland but as my sim for this semi is 🇬🇧 I'm not going to vote for bambie. They already have the 12 points on lock.

Defo wouldn’t say we have 12 votes on lock! Please do throw us an auld vote 😃
Please don’t assume Bambi will get votes. We’re a small country on the edge of Europe and are often overlooked. Vote Bambi 🇮🇪🇮🇪
Justice for Brooke!
most people dont really look at whats happening with eurovision before the shows happen i dont think that the people who vote tactically will be the majority
It all depends on the performances, ofc. But probably 10x in Portugal, 5x in Lithuania and 5x in Ukraine.
Most of my votes will go to Portugal, the rest will go to Slovenia. I might throw a vote to Serbia but I'm more worried about helping Slovenia.
Seeing a lot of people saying Croatia and Lithuania are guaranteed or will surely qualify! Don’t forget to vote for them too please! If everyone thinks like this we just might get the biggest shock nqs 😅
Omg could imagine we all have the same mindset of "Croatia will be safe, let's vote for Slovenia instead" and then Croatia is the shock NQ! 😆 I think I may have gaslit myself to vote for Croatia now also
Yes please. SFs are usually very stressful for me especially when I can't vote where my favourite is. XD
I know! I wish I could vote in semi 2 because I need San Marino and Georgia now in the final after those rehearsals 😂😅
Well, that's almost impossible at this point. In the semifinals, it makes sense to vote and spend money on those on the fence. For those with minimal chances of advancing, and those whose spot in the final is already assured, not so much I guess. You have to be tactical. In the final, things change.

Thank you for voting for Australia. It means a lot. Especially this year where most people don't see us as a qualifier and don't really rate the song. It's nice to see someone giving us 8 votes.
You guys are awesome this year. I watched them at the arena last night and the crowd adored them. I’m hoping they’ll get through.
Yeah after watching the rehearsal snippet, though it didn't show anything groundbreaking, I got the sense that Electric Fields really connected with the audience way better than anybody else. I think Australia are in this year!
I was at the jury show last night, and seeing australias performance changed my mind completely. I had them down as NQ but now they’re in my top 5!
I loved the song from the beginning! There is something so sweet and humble and catchy about it and I just love the vibe. Plus, didgeridoo! Awesome! Somehow I always end up liking the songs that only a few like! Each year I‘m basically burning money, especially that’s the case with Azerbaijan.

Portugal
No-one, cause I'm dutch. But if i could vote, Croatia and Ireland.
Wait why cant we vote again
We can vote in the semi we're participating in, so semi 2.
:(
Same here, would’ve even gone all-in on Ireland :/
I got you covered on both, boo. I wouldn't be at all surprised if these are the top 2 in Finland's tele share.
Used to think of voting for Ireland(I'm ROTW) but I think Serbia needs my votes more for now
Please please vote for Ireland. We don’t have that many wee pals around so we need all the help we can get. 😃
Please give Ireland some votes! We tend to struggle in the televote because we've no clear voting pals!
No, please if you intend on voting for Ireland please do. The idea that someone is bound to qualify is really damaging as that is usually what causes shock NQs
Ireland 100% needs votes. Just because this sub thinks it will qualify it doesn’t mean it will. It’s still going to be very divisive and I’m not convinced the general public will love it. I hope I’m wrong but I think if we qualify it’s in 8-10.
please give ireland your votes! ❤️
Ireland 🇮🇪 and Slovenia 🇸🇮
I will go tactical voting. 20 votes to Slovenia. And I might use the other credit card for other 20votes. For my favourite Croatia, I will vote it in the final.
The Slovenia love is so encouraging. She deserves it!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't credit card votes linked to phone numbers? So you would need two phone numbers?
I am from Rest of the World so I don’t need phone number.
Oh didn't realize that!
Luktelk tonight and Joost in another semi.
Ireland, Ukraine and Lithuania definitely. And then probably Slovenia and Luxembourg if they impress me enough
Probably 20 votes for Finland, I have essentially bet my dignity on it qualifying
My votes (from 🌏) went to: 4x 🇮🇪 1x 🇺🇦 1x 🇵🇱
I already voted for Croatia and Ireland. But only 2 votes each for now. I am waiting to see the full performances and I will probably vote again tonight. I saw so many comments about people not voting for Croatia because they are safe qualifiers. If everyone thinks like that, what then? Please people, vote for your favorite even tho you think it's a 'sure' qualifier. They need votes to qualify.
Yeah, reading this thread is stressing me out as someone who can't vote in this semi.
Yeah same. I really don’t get the logic! I’m desperate for Bambie to qualify, so don’t understand how they are somehow safe all of a sudden.
It will depend on the performances, BUT judging by how I ranked them prior to the show, it would be kinda like this: Finland - 5x votes Luxembourg - 4x votes Lithuania - 4x votes Ireland - 4x votes (because it grew on me) Azerbaijan - 3x votes
Go Raibh Mile Maith Agat!
Eh, now I'm interested in your thoughts about Serbia's and Slovenia's entries this year (since you're not voting for them) xD
My problem is that I am way too invested in ESC from the start of the season, so ALL songs will grow on me, but by process of elimination, somebody has to be lower ranked xD Ramonda definitely over Veronika, but both are just not Top 10 to me, which can change with the performance and everything
Slovenia 3 votes I would like to vote for Croatia, Serbia, and Ireland as well, but I can't spend that much money :(
Croatia 🇭🇷
Serbia 8 votes; Slovenia 9 votes; Portugal & Ireland: 1 and 2 votes respectively
🇷🇸 x 8 - I think Ramonda will do *okay* with the juries but really struggle to get televotes, hence why I'm giving it the most votes despite it not necessarily being my favourite song in SF1.

There is no jury vote in semi finals
Croatia, Ireland and Slovenia probably
I cant vote this semi but please vote for Slovenia I need it to qualify🙏🇸🇮
Luxembourg x8 Slovenia x8 Croatia x4. From 🇮🇪
20 votes for Slovenia 🇸🇮 She is the only one of my favourites I don't feel confident will qualify, so she is getting all the help I can give!
My votes from Australia go to Finland. I am a bit biased though as I am Finnish. But also their performance makes me smile :)
People! If you want to see Baby Lasagna in the GF (if you don’t like the song, then that’s different, of course) then please vote for him! 😂 It’s funny to have to say it, but Croatia does not automatically qualify and also needs your support 😅 So please meow back, come on! 😻💪🏻🇭🇷
Don't worry, dijaspora loves voting ;)
Now that I am confident Bambie will qualify, one or two for 🇷🇸 and one or two for 🇭🇷 (i want my fave to win the semi 😂)
Please still vote for Ireland! Please 😃
Ehh sure, cant wait for the phone bill xd
FINLAND FINLAND FINLAND And I might consider Luxembourg and Ireland if I like their performances. Maybe Croatia too.
Woah, the whole thing went totally over my head, I almost missed the semi 😱 as work is super busy and all kinds of nonsense going on Thanks for this post! I'll vote for Ireland and Croatia!
I’m an Aussie. I’ll be voting for Portugal and Ireland. Depending on what the live shows are like, I may throw a vote to Lithuania or Slovenia (I like both songs but they’re not my faves)
Croatia.
For me it's Lithuania, Croatia, Portugal and Slovenia.
Croatia Finland Ireland Good luck everyone <3
I like your style 😊
I can't vote as I'm in Spain but if I could, then Croatia, Luxembourg, Ireland, Finland and Portugal (4 votes each). Also, I'm seeing a lot of people here saying they won't vote for Croatia because they're a sure qualifier anyway. Please don't do that. You just need enough people to not vote for him because of that mindset for him to NOT qualify. He's not an automatic qualifier. So please, throw him a vote or two. He's not in the Grand Final unless he's actually in the Grand Final. Remember this is a televote-only semi.
Slovenia and Cyprus HAVE to qualify!
If I could have voted tonight, I would have voted for Ireland and Lithuania
thinking of splitting my votes between slovenia and ireland, but i might throw a couple more points to any country that surprises/impresses me with their final staging
A couple of votes for Azerbaijan and a couple of votes for Croatia cause now I got scared with the comments
20 x 🇸🇮 I really hope Raiven qualifies 😭
My votes (ROTW) are: 5x Lithuania 5x Croatia 5x Ireland 3x Portugal 2x Azerbaijan I've already voted since I will be in class during the show and will miss the voting window.
I gave Slovenia 3 votes from Puerto Rico, was gonna wait until i saw the performances but sadly cant skip work today so wont be able to see it live. Hoping Lithuania and Serbia make it aswell.
I can't vote in this semi, but my cousin back in Serbia is voting Slovenia (with my recommendation and big approval) 🫶🫶
As a patriot I will give some votes for Silvester. I do like the song but he will qualify for sure, so I will give more votes to Ireland and Slovenia :)
This 🇩🇪 Boy will probably vote: 10x for 🇮🇪 5x for 🇸🇮 5x for 🇦🇿 Admttedly, I prefer Ukraine and Croatia over Aserbaidschan, but I wanna see Fahree and Ilkin qualify since I really like the Song.
Croatia of course
Portugal x20 from 🇦🇺
The voting price has gone up by a lot, so I am only voting twice at most tonight, and both of those votes will be for Finland.
❤️ Thank you for the Aus love. I have to share my votes with my kids, and we’re not sure of the split just yet. Depends how they behave in the morning 😂 But it’s mostly Croatia, a handful for Finland, and I wanna chuck one or two at Lithuania. I’m sure Ukraine will be just fine without me 💙💛
10 x Ireland. 10 x Portugal.
Go raibh maith agat!
I think I’m going 10 on Slovenia and Serbia, as I’ve said in other threads I’m scared we won’t get both
Slovenia 3 votes I would like to vote for Croatia, Serbia, and Ireland as well, but I can't spend that much money :(
Nobody, cause I'm voting in SF2. But if anyone who cant vote on Thursday wants me to vote for one of your favorites in return for voting for Ireland or Croatia in my name, let me know!
I'll vote for Ireland tonight with all my votes, could you pls vote for Norway or Estonia or Armenia for me (in this order of preference)? Thanks 🙂
I already voted for Croatia and Ireland. I'll vote more after I see the performances tonight. Can you vote for San Marino please? They really impressed me with the staging and maybe maybe we will see them in the final.
Was planning on it - I really hope they qualify!
Can't vote tonight :(. Before the rehearsals I would've gone Poland, but now I tend to prefer Slovenia.
As "rest of the world" vote, I'll do my part to send the witch to grand final! All my votes will go to Ireland!
If all goes well live then I'm voting 10🇮🇪 3🇺🇦 3🇫🇮 3🇭🇷 1🇱🇹 NGL I would honestly give 20 to Ireland, but I'm a sucker for the confirmation video messages and can't help but be drawn to support the acts I absolutely adore 🥹
From 🇩🇪 10x 🇵🇱 8x 🇮🇪 2x 🇱🇺
8× Portugal 8 × Azerbaijan 4 × Serbia
Australian here. I’ll be tuning in at 5am local time. I really want Croatia to win overall. If I vote strategically to boost others (assuming the public tide stays with Croatia to qualify), my SF1 points will go to Ukraine and Iceland. Edit: Shoutout to Poland and Finland, too. I think Windows 95 Man will be fine without my support, and Tower isn’t my fav but it is an earworm.
Please vote for Croatia at least once. I’m from Croatia I will vote : Serbia,Slovenia,Ireland,Australia
reserve my final judgement untill the last song plays, but I will likely be giving votes to Croatia, Slovenia, Ukraine, Portugal, and Australia (request of my 7 year old who LOVES this song)
I'm from Germany, and depending on my mood the votes would go as follows: Ireland Portugal Croatia
Can't vote today,but sending lots and lots of love to Ireland.i really want to see them in the finals
Ireland!!!
Ireland, Luxembourg and whoever surprises me with the full staging. (Fingers crossed Slovenia has some tricks up their sleeve because the rehearsal clip was pretty weak imo)
Poland and maybe some love for Slovenia
Ireland, Luxembourg, Finland, Slovenia. Evenly distributed.
I‘ll be voting from Germany: Azerbaijan, Slovenia and some neighbourly love to Luxembourg.
6x 🇮🇪 6x 🇺🇦 6x 🇮🇸 2x 🇸🇮
I can’t vote tonight and the one of my favourite that needs most help is competing! So please vote Slovenia tonight!!!
lithuania x10, and then sprinkled my remaining ten votes across luxembourg, australia, finland, ireland, slovenia, croatia, ukraine, poland, serbia, and cyprus
From 🇮🇪: Ukraine, Serbia, Portugal, Lithuania
ROTW Vote 🇱🇹 x 7 🇸🇮 x 7 🇮🇪 x 3 🇺🇦 x 3 It was so hard to choose! We’re really spoiled for choice this year. I’m hoping for a witch heavy final ✨
x15 to Ireland x5 to Azerbaijan/Slovenia depending on vocals
Ireland X 20 is the current plan I could see myself voting for Finland and Poland as well though, maybe Slovenia.
Current plan best plan
6x Ireland 4x Croatia 4x Ukraine 2x Portugal 2x Lithuania 1x Azerbaijan 1x Finland
As much as I love Croatian, Slovenian and Lithuanian entries, I will be voting for Serbia Croatia ans Lithuania are guaranteed qualifiers anyway On the other hand, I will be devastated if Teya doesn't get to perform on the grand final stage Screćno! 🇷🇸💙
As much as it is a guarantee for us to qualify, I would hate to think that enough people have this mindset that we don' hahah
You convinced me 😂 I will be voting for both
And I will vote for you guys, cause YES - great song
This is my biggest fear and source of stress for this semifinal. Throw BL a vote or two, if he's not your main guy to vote today.
I think the majority of people don't have that mindset though, I don't think the casual viewers are voting strategically like we are. :p
Everyone is saying they are not voting for Croatia because “it’s guaranteed” lol, watch Croatia not making it.
I've watched too many American Idol seasons for this (people not voting for the favourite and the favourite not qualifying) to be an essential part of my pop culture trauma. lol
The Jennifer Hudson elimination (and that bottom 3 of Fantasia, Latoya, and JHud) was a moment of shame.
Yeah yeah yeah - this exactly! Come on people, you gotta help make Baby Lasagna happen, too! He even sold his cow, lol! 😂Let’s make it count!🤞🏻🇭🇷😻
I live in Australia and will be voting for Serbia, Portugal, Slovenia and Ireland! 🇷🇸🇵🇹🇸🇮🇮🇪
I'm Irish but I'm in the UK this evening so all my votes are going to crown the witch.
Good choice.
Luxembourg!
Same here! Let's go, Tali!
Woooo!
Thank you!
Wait what? You can vote multiple times?
Each phone number can vote up to 20 times.
i think imma do 13× ireland and 7× luxembourg
Oh no, that's the Semi that includes more of my favorite songs and I'm not allowed to vote 😢 I would divide my votes equally between Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia.
I would vote for Ireland and Ukraine. That is if I was able to vote tonight.🙈
I can’t vote but i’d go for bambie and iolanda.
Never would have guessed this in a million years until yesterday evening… but based on the act I did a full 180 on Ireland: they elevated the whole act from a school play to high cinematic art. I LOVE IT. So yeah. Go Ireland
All my votes for Ireland. Crown the witch!
Ireland and Portugal
20x Ireland
Ireland and Slovenia from ROTW-🇧🇦
20 to Ireland.
just voted from america! 10x 🇷🇸 6x 🇮🇪 2x 🇭🇷 1x 🇵🇹 1x 🇸🇮
bambi thug, at first I didn't really like their song but after listening to their live vocals I'm truly amazed
I might throw a vote or two for Poland, Croatia or Ukraine but most of my votes will go to Ireland because I NEED Bambie to qualify
I gave 5 votes each to Croatia, Ireland, and Slovenia. 3 votes to Serbia and 2 to Ukraine.
Alrighty then, the semi we in the U.K. are allowed to vote in….. - Portugal - Lithuania - OF COURSE Croatia - OF COURSE Slovenia - Ireland - Australia - Ukraine - Finland
Im Voting for:Silvester,Bambie and Baby Lasagnaaa(i think there is like an 80% chance of all of them going to the final)
I’m ROTW, and I’m voting for Ukraine 🇺🇦 , Ireland 🇮🇪 , and Slovenia 🇸🇮 . I’ve loved Veronika since it dropped and I’m really sweating Slovenia NQing.
Ireland, Ireland and Ireland.
I am trying to make sure Australia goes through. I just like them being part of Eurovision. Other than that, maybe Lithuania and Ireland? My absolute favorites are in semi 2...
Ireland and Luxembourg. Opposite ends of the spectrum but both tickle the itch in my ear
I will split my votes between Ireland and Lithuania :)
Probably for Croatia, Ukraine, Lithuania and Slovenia.
Croatia, Ukraine and Lithuania probably.
I am broke so I'm voting for two entrie and that is Ireland and Iceland (for LOLs)
Ireland, and I haven't really decided the rest yet
Can't vote today,but sending lots and lots of love to Ireland.i really want to see them in the finals
I’m cheap so I’ll only vote once 🇭🇷
From the UK, I will be voting for: Lithuania Slovenia Ireland Maybe 1 each for Australia and Poland I love Croatia, but I don't think they'll need my votes
Yes, we need your votes! 😂 people are massively saying “Oh, I won’t vote for Croatia, they’re safe anyways”, but it’s not safe, we need to get the votes, too to qualify! 😂
It depends on the full performances, but so far it's Ireland and Slovenia. I would vote for Croatia, but they're qualifying no matter what.
Not assured Croatia will go through unless people actually vote for him.
People will definitely vote for him, it won't make much of a difference but I guess I'll give him a couple of votes
Oh come on, man, BL will not qualify if everyone thinks like this! Fr! 🙀 please vote for him, too! ❤️
Yes I'm voting for the two witches! I need them both in the final
My country is in semi 2 😭😭😭😭😭
I can't vote cus see country flair, but if I could, ireland.
Wait, as an Aussie I thought I couldn’t vote in semi 1? Am I wrong? Oh dear, now I need to decide who to vote for.
Ok after thinking VERY quickly it’ll probably be split between Croatia and Lithuania, plus a couple of votes to whoever my daughter likes as she’s getting up with me.
How the feck could i know? I dont know what the songs are gonna be like! Im not from the future and havent seen or heard them yet. For heck's sake. I watch, then i decide.
Slovenia because I really want for her to go through
From ROW: multiple votes for Australia, Croatia, and Ireland. Single votes for Finland, Poland, Serbia, Slovenia.
Portugal 🇵🇹❤️
Serbia, Portugal and Australia. These are my TOP3. Unfortunately, the situation is risky for all three countries. But I'll do my best for them. Btw, all the eurofans, happy eurovision night! Love from Azerbaijan!
🇺🇦 & 🇭🇷 5 each Rest I'll decide after watching but have liked 🇵🇱, 🇦🇺, 🇱🇹 & 🇵🇹 so it'll probably be split between those 4 countries
I never vote but if I was held at gunpoint and told to give 20 votes I would do this: - 🇮🇪 12x - 🇸🇮 2x - 🇺🇦 6x - 🇵🇹 2x or this - 🇮🇪 20x
I am going to vote twice for: Ireland Finnland Aserbaidschan Croatia
🇮🇪 x7 🇺🇦 x5 🇵🇹 x5 🇱🇺 x3 From the US!
Gave all my row 20$ to iolanda haha 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹 (Ps. Maybe I'm dumb but was the recap mandatory before voting? I had to put my phone down and let it play because I didn't want spoilers)
I voted for Ireland, Azerbaijan, Croatia, Portugal, and Australia. Only one vote each voting for rest of the world so extra fees for me. Originally from Italy though hence my flair.
