Who are you happiest for? Which country was robbed of qualification?
Semi-final 1 of Eurovision 2025 has taken place in Basel, Switzerland and the following 10 of 15 participating countries qualified for Saturday’s Grand Final:
š³š“ Norway | Kyle Alessandro ā Lighter
š¦š± Albania | Shkodra Elektronike ā Zjerm
šøšŖ Sweden | KAJ ā Bara Bada Bastu
š®šø Iceland | VĆB ā RĆA
š³š± Netherlands | Claude ā Cāest La Vie
šµš± Poland | Justyna Steczkowska ā GAJA
šøš² San Marino | Gabry Ponte ā Tutta LāItalia
šŖšŖ Estonia | Tommy Cash ā Espresso Macchiato
Against the Eurovision betting odds, Iceland’s VAEB and Portugal’s NAPA made it through, even though previously they had been at the bottom of the odds charts. On the other hand, hyped and anticipated after Monday’s dress rehearsals Red Sebastian (Belgium) and Theo Evans (Cyprus) didn’t amass enough votes in the juryless semi-final.
The running order for the final night, May 17, will be decided later by a draw (which half of the Grand Final the qualified artists will compete in) by Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR) after the Second Semi-final this Thursday, May 15.
