Once we had all 42 (well, 43) songs released, we started a poll where we asked you to vote for your favorite songs in each of the semi finals. Since the first semi final is on tonight, we are now ready to publish the results of our poll, and see which 10 songs would our readers like to see qualifying in tonight’s show.

Obviously, our readers could only see the rehearsals in the past couple of days, and most of the votes came before this. Sergey Lazarev from Russia is the absolute winner of our Semi Final 1 poll with a total of 4,250 votes, followed by Hungary’s Freddie in second with 3,438 and Croatia’s Nina Kraljic in third with 3,408 votes. The one with the least number of votes is San Marino’s Serhat, who scored only 475 votes.
