On May 12, 2022, in Turin was the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2022. Representatives of 18 countries - Finland, Israel, Serbia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Malta, San Marino, Australia, Cyprus, Ireland, North Macedonia, Estonia, Romania, Poland, Montenegro, Belgium, Sweden and the Czech Republic, will enter the PalaOlimpico arena to compete for a place in the final of the musical competition.
The first to take the stage were the contestants from Finland: the legendary rockers with a worldwide fame, The Rasmus, performed the song Jezebel. Israeli singer Michael Ben David conquered the audience with a rhythmic dance single with the simple name I.M. Serbian singer Konstrakta took the stage with the satirical number In Corpore Sano. The production turned out to be bright, memorable and even ironic. The sensual lyrics of Azerbaijani singer Nadir Rustamli in the song Fade To Black touched the hearts of the audience. The band Circus Mircus from Georgia lit up the stage with dynamic motifs of the Lock Me In song.
Vocalist from Malta Emma Muscat will be remembered by the audience not only for a piquant shining dress, but also for a cool dance number for the song I Am What I Am. The performance of Achille Lauro from San Marino has become synonymous with the shock of Eurovision 2022. Just look at the transparent outfits and kisses with the guitarist right on the stage! However, the song called Stripper deserves no less attention of the audience. However, Australia can compete in originality with San Marino: their contestant Sheldon Riley came out to perform the lyrical composition Not The Same in a white lush dress and a veil of rhinestones.
Against the background of previous performers, the singer Andromache from Cyprus seems to be a fabulous mermaid. The artist performed the lyrical Ela song. A playful, incendiary number was presented to the audience court by the artist from Ireland Brooke. She performed the song That's Rich. A laconic, but no less spectacular number for the song Circles pleased the fans of the contest singer Andrea - North Macedonia. Estonian singer Stefan performed the country song Hope from the depths of his immense heart.
The Romanian WRS contestant turned out to be not only a talented singer, but also an equally talented dancer. His song Llámame invites you to start dancing. Simply, heartfeltly, but no less spectacularly performed by Ochman from Poland with the River song. The singer is actively supported by the Ukrainian audience. Singer Vladana from Montenegro fascinated with a magical performance of the lyrical composition Breathe - like a breath of fresh air! Belgian Jérémie Makiese with his song Miss You has earned a special place in the hearts of the audience. Beauty and sophistication in simplicity. Sweden was represented on the stage of the competition by singer Cornelia Jakobs with the song Hold Me Closer - an impeccable performance. The last on the stage of the second semi-final of Eurovision-2022 were We Are Domi - the Czech Republic band with the song Lights Off. A cool dance composition and an unusual way of playing the guitar. Bravo!
Of the 18 participants in the second semi-final of Eurovision 2022, only the top 10, who were chosen by professional judges and spectators, made it to the grand final:
