Greece 2011 and the Netherlands 2014 are true masterpieces.

[denalihedgehog]

So, winners of 2008, 2011 and 2016 lost their semis?

[didrikgustafsson]

Belgium 2010 and greece 2011 feels like such random semi winners lol

[shroomyesc]

The 2016 makes the most sense, since Ukraine was a "compromise
winner" between those two semifinal winners anyway since Russia got most
televotes and Australia got the most juryvotes, Ukraine got 2nd most in
both.

[MaxxyRainbow]

Greece or Ukraine should have definitely won in 2008! Both those women SLAYED!

[escmonster]

Well Greece 2008 should be a winner in the final too

[nelchin]

Well, it is really surprising to see how semi-final winners secured their places in Top 5 in the Grand Final!!!

[nicolinenielsen]

This just proves that Russia was the real winner last year. Sergey really deserved to win.
Anyway, great video. :)

[nathanael]

[edvardskalva]

[sincitybg]

[nilerra]

Portugal and Bulgaria, next ones to join this list

[ΧΡΗΣΤΟΣ-ΕΜΜΑΝΟΥΗΛΤΡΑΓΚΑΣ]

kontopoulos and evangelinos won 3 semifinals 💗💗💗💗

[davidrevuelta]

Viendo los ganadores de Eurovision desde las 2 Semifinales, sólo el caso de Emmelie de Forest con Only Teadrops que gano Eurovision salió de la primera Semifinal, las otras ganadoras salió de la segunda Semifinal excepto en 2008, 2011 y 2016 que gano una canción que no gano ninguna de las Semifinales, por lógica el ganador puede venir del ganador de la primera Semifinal, aunque no se descarta del ganador de la segunda Semifinal o bien de los que van directos a la final excepto España por tongazo en el Televoto por Sony que no lo descarto Alemania, Gran Bretaña, Italia y mi favorita Francia con Alma con Réquiem y OS pido un favor castigar muy bien a España y a Ucrania con el Televoto y otro favor que este año Alemania este más alta por favor y menuda nos espera si Lucie Jones gana Eurovision 2017 al año siguiente Londres y sería el sitio en donde ganó Massiel con el La, La, La 50 años después.

Proving that Jamala shouldn't have won in 2016.

[Zakira]

Can someone explain how was Finland 3rd in semi in 2011, but 20 something in final?

[sydnirobinson]

I know it's not in here but Ukraine was robbed in 2007 and 2008.

[fabbi]

Heroes got more points than Fairytale? :o
