The first Semi-Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 took place last night (14 May 2018) and what a great competition it was. A total of 17 acts represented their countries on stage, but only 10 could go through.
There were a few surprises when it comes to the acts that didn’t get through, mainly Hungary’s Joci Pápai, who becomes the first act from that country not to make it through to the Grand Final since the country returned to the competition in 2011.
Regardless, we commemorate them for gracing that wonderous stage and giving it their all. It certainly is a once in a lifetime opportunity and they clearly all loved every single minute of being there. Check out our facts and stats article on all 43 countries and their acts that are competing this year.
