Eurovision 2019 is finally here! After an amazing opening night in Tel Aviv, we have our first 10 finalists for Saturday night, who will join France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom and hosts Israel in the Eurovision final on Saturday night.

But as Lord of the Rings taught us, ‘no victory without sacrifice’ and we’ve had to bid adieu to 7 countries and their songs. For them, their Eurovision 2019 dreams sadly must end here.

Out of all of the countries who now won’t be appearing in Saturday night’s final, who is your favourite? Who do you think really deserved a spot in the Grand Final? Let us know in our poll below!
