Anyone else looking forward to this? I know it's early but DD11 has been playing the songs all weekend and can't wait. Fingers crossed it can go ahead this year in some format.

Here we go!

God this is hard work (Slovenia).

SpindleWhorl · 18/05/2021 20:28

Russia - really??
Sweden - great stuff 👍
Australia - dreadful

Commentary - shite

OublietteBravo · 18/05/2021 20:29

I liked Russia. Sweden was a bit Eurovision-by-numbers.

OublietteBravo · 18/05/2021 20:30

I think Australia will fail to qualify for the final this year.

Is Mr North Macedonia wearing a wee cape?

OublietteBravo · 18/05/2021 20:33

Very musical theatre from N. Macedonia

popcorndiva · 18/05/2021 20:34

I quite liked North Macedonia 🇲🇰

I am coming to this cold... But loved The Roop. The yellow suit. Mwah xx

OublietteBravo · 18/05/2021 20:39

The yellow is rather pastel. Sort of woman-of-a-certain-age-on-holiday yellow

Unescorted · 18/05/2021 20:40

DS wants one... Who am I to argue?

SpindleWhorl · 18/05/2021 20:41

Ireland is having tuning issues. Was she flustered being late on, staging problems?

OublietteBravo · 18/05/2021 20:41

Gosh. You can really hear her Irish accent. It’s a bit CBeebies

Eyjafjallajokulldottir · 18/05/2021 20:41

I like the Irish song but the staging is shocking 😬

Unescorted · 18/05/2021 20:42

What do you think the people in the theatre see?

andtheweedonkey · 18/05/2021 20:43

Are we sure they're not miming some/all of their songs?

andtheweedonkey · 18/05/2021 20:44

Honestly, the lip-sync is awful if they are...or there are some massive issues with the broadcasting.

Ireland was singing, not brilliantly, over a backing track. Odd.
OublietteBravo · 18/05/2021 20:47

Cyprus were good. Very Europop.

Unescorted · 18/05/2021 20:47

Maybe a lag between the sound and video on the broadcast.

OublietteBravo · 18/05/2021 20:48

OMG - he’s dressed as Jimmy Savile ShockShockShock

Unescorted · 18/05/2021 20:49

Wings!

andtheweedonkey · 18/05/2021 20:49

Unescorted You could be right - either that or DH will insist on a new telly for Saturday 🤦🏻‍♀️
