A song-writers contest that was created to bring together Europe after the war, but of late more like a global multi-media event. If you’re reading OnEurope then you probably already know this, so why am I telling you?
Well after a show that felt like it was from 1984, and was about ten thousand hours long, the result of the 4th Swedish semi is:
| Song | Performer(s) | Psn |
| Icarus | Emmi Christensson | 6 |
| Mitt paradis | Elias Abbas | 5 |
| Break that chain | Felicia Olsson | 7 |
| Fuldans | Rolandz | Final (HOW) |
| Never learn | Olivia Eliasson | AC |
| Every single day | Felix Sandman | AC |
| For you | Mariette | Final |
…before you start – I know I’ve used the same pic almost as last week but that’s because it does NOT get any easier to know what the hell is going on with this Eurovision selection nonsense that we all invest time in!
Tonight there are 1…2..3…. a number of Finals…. and Lithuania…. oh and Sweden still rumbling on and we’re here to help you through it.
Now, for streams I can’t recommend our chums at EscPlus highly enough for their multi screen experience which has helped me the hell out over the last few weeks. Every national final, sort-able on one screen.
So – you go there – you get cross eyed and eared watching national finals – but you want TIMES and Result and whats doing what…. That’s where we come in – your humble vessel to get you through everything.

He’s ginger. He’s got floppy hair. He plays the guitar… no, it’s not Ed (who said he’d be up for writing an English Eurovision entry… which guarantees him never to enter a song cos he’s all mouth and no trousers).
Those Germans have chosen 27-year-old Michael Schulte singing an ode to his family,entitled “You Let Me Walk Alone”.
The ex-Youtube star and ex-3rd placer in ‘The Voice of Germany’ has been a warm-up act for Blue on their German tours and has done…. quite a lot of things according to Wiki without any of them actually standing out.
*anyway* – he won…. with the song below.

| House on Fire | Ivy Quainoo | 22 | 4 |

Well after the mentalness that was last evening ( and feel free to check out all of the results) Eurovision moves on to a rather subdued Sunday.
Only two shows on tonight ( Thank the lord I hear you all cry)
Romania and their seemingly never ending Semi Finals finally reach their conclusion with their fifth Semi Final – check out the runners and riders why don’t ya and then settle back at 2000 CET to watch it. I can’t promise a salt mine this week, heck, I can’t even promise some decent songs!
Also tonight we have the host country, that’ll be Portugal for those who are new here (!) and their first Semi final of Festival Da Cancao. Scheduled, rather exactly, from 2206 CET on Sunday to 0112 CET on Monday Morning and available to view on the internet, should you have the constitution to do so, Thirteen songs will be whittled down to seven by televote and jury.
Seems as though there was no technical issues this week as only two, as there was supposed to be, qualified from the Semi Final of Supernova.
Those two being in bold below.
| Song | Performer(s) |
| Soledad | Jenny May |
| What I had with you | Ed Rallidae |
| Running red lights | Katrine Lukins |
| Lovers bliss | Lauris Valters |
| You | Mionia |
| Morning flight | Kris & Oz |
| Funny girl | Laura Rizzotto |
A second Eesti Laul semi final? – oh OK then. Last week’s was good and this was of a similar standard in my opinion though the giving out of the results was a bit haphazard, again, my opinion – mine alone.
The 5 highlighted songs qualified to meet last weeks five in a grand final of song!
| Song | Performer(s) | |
| Sky | Eliis Pärna & Gerli Padar | Q |
| Welcome to my world | Evestus | Q |
| (Can’t keep calling) Misty | Frankie Animal | Q |
| Spellbound | Girls In Pearls | |
| Tempel | Indrek Ventmann | |
| Young | Karl Kristjan & Karl Killing (ft. Wateva) | Q |
| Täna otsuseid ei tee | Marju Länik | |
| Koplifornia | Metsakutsu | |
| Knock knock | Nika | Q |
| Show a little love | Rolf Roosalu |
Semi Final 2 results of the never ending A Dal are now in – Again the top 3 from the jury get a ticket straight to next weeks final but also one of the non qualifying songs is reprieved by the Televoters of Hungary.
That full result is now shown below.
| Song | Performer(s) | Pts | Psn | |
| Ne hagyj reményt | Tamás Vastag | 36 | 8 | |

Thats right – the semi final affectionately known by this site as Sonvakepnin Fluffykittens has completed it’s second semifinal in Rekjavik.
As is the usual form, they don’t announce in which order the three qualifiers have , well, qualified, but they announced them as follows :
| Song | Performer(s) |
| Golddigger | Aron Hannes |
| Óskin mín | Rakel Pálsdóttir |
| Svaka stuð | Stefanía Svavarsdóttir, Agnes Marinósdóttir & Regína Lilja Magnúsdóttir |
| Brosa | Þórir Geir Guðmundsson & Gyða Margrét Kristjánsdóttir |
| Í stormi | Dagur Sigurðarson |
| Hér með þér | Áttan |
They join the three qualifiers from last week, and an unknown number of wildcards in the final.
True, i’m not quite so sure why sixteen songs have to be whittled down in Slovenia but, considering I am an EMA watcher of old, don’t let me stop you RTVSLO!!
50% Televoting giving us 4 qualifiers and 50% – ahem – Professionals gave us another 4 qualifiers means that from the list below, the 8 highlighted get through to next week’s grand final I bet you can hardly wait!
