Eurovision Song Contest 2018 - First Semi-Final - Live Stream

The 2018 Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Portugal's capital city, Lisbon. It's the first time Portugal hosts the competition. The right to host the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest came after Salvador Sobral won the 2017 edition in Kyiv with his song Amar Pelos Dois.

Nineteen countries will participate at the first Semi-Final of the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest in Lisbon, Portugal.

I got tears in my eyes when they announced that Albania made it to the final. I thought people would not recognize this beautiful song and incredible voice. So deserving!!!

This show was never been this beautiful. Everything looks great af! The stage, the production... Also, the idea of showing a little of some portuguese cities on every's countries presentation is just genial. PORTUGAL IS THE BEST! We may be a small country, but we're full of talented people.

Omg, I just read the english subtitles to Albanias song and it's the sweetest love song ever.. *I'M DYING*

[kristianberget]

Awesome show Portugal!! This was a true bloodbath though, so it was obvious a lot of people were not going to be pleased no matter what the result would become. I'm personally happy with the results, and thought the whole show was superb. Spread the positivity! <3

Viewers must understand that it's not the official video that matters. It's the live performance that matters.

People should stop complaining about the result. Eurovision is not only about the songs, it is also about the performances and the staging. For me, the songs from Belgium and Greece are very good but their performances were just not as good as the studio records.
So sad that Belgium and Switzerland didn't make it to the final, they are always in my top 10 favorite, but I am happy that Albania, Ireland and Finland are qualified.

[tawnypelt]

so happy that Ireland, Lithuania and Albania passed! sad that Greece, FYR Macedonia and Switzerland didn't make it; it was one of the hardest Semis in ESC history..

Can we compliment the crowd for being awesome and loud for each entry and not booing like past years? GG PORTUGAL and EUROPE

Greece is one of my favourites this year, but to be really honest her live performance desappointed me, I think she was not at their best tonight. Yanna, I wish you all the best and never give up to sing!

[noaheurovision]
