Apologies in advance for not including in the video which half in the Grand Final each qualifier is going to be in. I was trying a new layout and forgot about that element.
SF1: Yes.
Nice.
Nice!
Pretty good.
YAS. Deserved to qualify for sure.

A good effort. It just wasn't enough.
...I'm in disbelief. I thought this was going to qualify. It's one of Arca's better songs.
Another devastating NQ. This was more out there than recent Greek entries, but it didn't take away from it being a bop.
It's well-produced, but in this semifinal, this fell into the mediocre range.
It was not very impactful, but I will always appreciate the cultural aspect.
Come on! This should've qualified, too. It's one of the most listenable songs of this semifinal. T_T
A valiant effort. A very decent song, but not strong enough to qualify imo.
Nej.
This song sounds like it could've went harder and dirtier than what it presented.
Unfortunately forgettable.
SF2: Nice.
A grower.
YAS.
I knew we were gonna get something good once Laurinda got her hands on Slovenia! Congratulations on qualifying in your debut.

This song wasn't enough in my opinion, but it's getting harder to bear seeing the constant non-qualification. I just want you to have that achievement so bad.
They're both cute bops. They could've qualified.
I was so convinced T&T was going to qualify after sooo long. This is T&T's best effort in recent months. I thought it was gonna be rewarded, but alas.
I thought that both this and Uzbekistan were gonna qualify together, but a bummer that this jam had to be left behind.
It lived up to the song title.
Overall, it definitely faded in the background.
One of my favorites in this semifinal. Gutted it didn't make it.
不.
That drop was such a massive letdown. I know she can present a banger like
"השתגעתי".
Another of my favorites gone too soon. It's a cool Arab banger.
SF3: Yes.
YAS.
Nice.

"On"? More like "off". I was underwhelmed.
Kudos for bringing uniqueness. Unfortunately, it wasn't the captivating kind.
I'm not impressed. This kind of song is the kind that's hard to stand out.
Could've qualified, but I did see these not qualify as well.
Oh... I don't know why I'm surprised, but I probably shouldn't have been. It's nice, but this semifinal was strong, and this song wasn't a reason why.
I definitely saw a chance for this to qualify, but it's very typical of its genre, so I'm not surprised.
This one was so interesting. I thought it would be voted on enough because of how different it sounds compared to the rest of the semifinal.
но.
