It's Eurovision time!! It's hard to believe that it's already been a year since Ukraine won last year. Since Ukraine won last year they should host this year's competition but they can't due to Russia's invasion. Therefore, the UK, last year's runner-up is hosting in Liverpool on behalf of Ukraine.
This is the 67th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest and there are 37 countries competing this year. Russia and Belarus are banned due to the invasion while Bulgaria, Montenegro, and North Macedonia opted not to participate due to cost reasons.
Last night, 15 countries participated in the first semi-final with 10 advancing to Saturday's final. Finland came in first followed by Sweden and Israel.
Czechland came in 4th place. Way to go Vesna!!
Rounding out the top 10 were Moldova, Norway, Switzerland, Croatia, Portugal, and Serbia.
Latvia, Ireland, Netherlands, Azerbaijan, and Malta failed to qualify and are out.
Aside from Czechland, my favourites last night were Sweden, Moldova, and Switzerland. Plus France who automatically qualifies to the finals as one of the Big 5 countries. Here are their performances from YouTube. Let's see you makes it to the finals from tomorrow night's second semi-final.
