Iconic moment when Bambie Thug ripped of their litteral nailart so Ukrain could hold a key while Ukrain talked about rebuilding their future. Ukrain and Ireland both seem so sweet, hope they do well!!

[Firnling]

Baby Lasagna singing along to Luna is exactly what Eurovision is about for me. ❤

[vedranbukarica]

Five out of ten songs are in the national language. 🇷🇸🇸🇮🇺🇦🇱🇹🇵🇹

I completely understand Raiven. She has such charisma that she doesn't need anyone else on stage, not even additional dancers. She can captivate the audience all by herself.

Most people find it funny that the Serbian journalist supported Ukraine. It's because the journalist works for opposition TV channel and as a Serb I support It and most people from my country.

I am happy with the semi-final results. There was talk of Serbia or Portugal not qualifying - but sorry Poland, they are better songs.

Відчути по-справжньому велич і біль України можуть тільки її громадяни. Ті, хто зараз під щохвилинною загрозою російського агресора. Ті, які втратили свої домівки, втратили своїх рідних, які у невідомості втрачають сон і спокій, навіть перебуваючи за кордоном. Щиро дякую дуету за те, як вони передали наші почуття! Перемоги вам, мої любі! Перемоги нашій славній Україні!
