By Melissa Bayly Last updated May 14, 2019

There were pyrotechnics, acrobatics and harmonies galore tonight as Europe crowded around their television screens to watch the first Semi Final of the 64th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest.

Opened by Israel’s new Euroqueen Netta Barzilai, after the run of 17 entries and interval performances from Dana International and the 2019 entries of Spain, France and Israel, we were left hanging on the edge of our sofas to see which countries had made it through to Saturday’s Grand Final.

In announced order, the countries that have qualified for Saturdays Final are –

Greece
Belarus
Serbia
Cyprus
Estonia
Czech Republic
Australia
Iceland
San Marino
Slovenia

They will be joined by 10 more countries, to be determined on the 14th May 2019.

Ever since I heard Constantinos Christoforou’s first notes of “Gimme” in 2001 I was one hooked Eurolover. I first attended ESC in Oslo and remember how electric the stadium atmosphere was. I remember how much hosting the contest completely changes a city and it’s people and was so hooked I’ve gone back every year since.
When you’re an Australian in a very European backyard you come across a lot of looks of bewilderment &amp;amp; surprise but the welcome you get from Eurofans is unforgettable. Valentina Monetta’s "Crisalide" is basically my soundtrack in life but Marija Serifovic’s "Molitva" is my favorite and most memorable winner.
