Belgium gave us fierce disco, Ukraine had us on the verge of tears and Slovenia served both breasts and prayers. And that was just three countries out of eight that took to the stage on May 5 at Eurovision 2016. We asked you guys who wowed the most during their first rehearsal. After counting 3,227 votes, we can now reveal that you guys think Jamala from Ukraine stole the show. The bookies clearly agree as Ukraine have shot up in the bookies’ rankings in recent days. Could we be heading back to Kyiv in 2017?
Simple and emotive staging really make the Ukrainian entry stand out. It’s so emotionally gripping and visually stunning that it may have a lock on victory in this semi-final. We unanimously agree that Ukraine will absolutely make the final and score incredibly well. When Jamala sings she sings for thousands of victims of Stalin’s terror. With that kind of motivation it’s no wonder she seems to leave it all on stage time after time.
The hilariously charming Poli Genova from Bulgaria slid into second place with 761 votes. And perhaps the biggest underdog in the second semi final, Laura Tesoro from Belgium, funked her way into third place with 619 votes.

Hey Douwe Bob think about 6 seconds instead of 10.. using to ‘get together’ maybe some more lcd use of the stage combine CLOCK and a beating TATTOO HEART … that would be perfect for 6 seconds to get all together. DO IT 🙂
Jeans and white tshirt and sneakers would show sexy on STAGE for the performance tomorrow… i expect some exiting stage effects. CONGRATS X
Belgium???? Are you sure? My country won’t be present in the final…
HEro,
your rant is so old, and as you can see it’s getting people like you nowhere. Ukraine surely will go out 🙂 when we’ll celebrate ESC results. You’re not invited, don’t even try crash our party 🙂
ESC is NOT a politic contest! Ukraine must change your song or go out!

Belgium came 3rd? Starting to think this might qualify…wouldn’t be a bad qualifier as its not a bad song. I like it better than Serbia, Norway and Israel in semi 2.
