in final! First time since 2017! But is shocking qualifier. I'm sad of and but they were expected to be eliminated...

I'm shocked of weak vocal performance of but I'm hoping that she will qualify somehow and I want be there too, but I doubt it...

Ahead of first semifinal which will start in 19 hours, which songs are in your top10? @dezbee2008, @Vektor, @justony, @dcro, @OlympicIRL, @NikolaB? And did you like Georgian song, @konig?

My Top before rehearsals was 1st - France 2nd - Cyprus 3rd - Poland 4th - Montenegro 5th - Greece 6th - Moldova 7th - Austria 8th - Italy 9th - Lithuania 10th - Netherlands But now, after rehearsals (and one day before first semifinal for juries, called dress rehearsal) top is changed for: 1st - France 2nd - Greece 3rd - Portugal 4th - Cyprus 5th - Poland 6th - Montenegro 7th - Ireland 8th - Estonia 9th - Netherlands 10th - Lithuania with Iceland being 11th and Georgia being 12th (that's not joke) and I want see both of them being qualified to Grand Final so badly...

Yes, they lead the odds but I don't believe that juries will allow Ukraine to win, they might win televoting in both semifinal and final, but that's all, same about Spain, juries will not place Chanel on high position, instead they will place high Italy, Netherlands and of course Sweden.

Seems you like Latvia in Eurovision

And now question, who according you, have the biggest chances for victory? For me, considering results from previous editions the biggest chance have Italy, Netherlands, Greece and Poland (in case of Poland it isn't just wishfully thinking, but we really have chances considering odds and reactions in press center after rehearsals).

Now, since TAISC finished we may focused on Eurovision, of which Grand Final will take place exactly in next week, with first semifinal already in Tuesday. Below is top40 of an eurovision fan on YT after second round of rehearsals, if someone doesn't want see spoilers please avoid it Tomorrow Opening Ceremony, also called "Turquoise Carpet" will take place, you can watch it in video below, from 16:00 CEST

This song was my second choice for TAISC 2022

And to complete, my reserves were: 1st Indonesia @Griff88 2nd Turkey @Memo 3rd Portugal @kungshamra71

7th place and 106 points for Poland is very satisfying result, second best after 4th place in 2014 Congrats @Cobi once more for win, perfect choice, also big congrats to @OlympicIRL for another podium and @Quasit and @Cinnamon Bun for bronze (btw. I'm hoping that you still will present us a songs from Latvia and North Macedonia for Festival of Music ) The biggest congrats goes to @Vektor for hosting contest, we all know that it's difficult work and by entire day there wasn't any problems with connection and posting results, great job And thank you to everyone who voted for Polish song, especially @mrv86 and @Vektor for gold medals

@hckošice is crying at this moment, I think, but it are tears of joy

YAY! Poland did broke 100 points mark Thanks @Dnl

Live from TISC Green Room

Congrats Spain and congrats @Cobi and of course Tanxugueiras, it's my favourite song among these which wasn't choosen for competing in Eurovision

And 12 for Spain

Ukraine, Serbia, Romania, it was the most obvious top3 in whole day.

It's shocking, no points for Poland from Ukraine

Well, I'm dissapointed because I expected points from France

Slovania is competing?

Not Poland surely, maybe France or China?

Always being together

SPAIN 12!!
