The Israeli song has grown on me.

D'ya reckon the big 5 (plus host nation) lose out by not performing in the semis?

No prob not. I don't think many people watch the semis?

I really think we do because we don't get the same exposure

I liked the Ukraine. And Slovenia. And Australia

I definitely think they do miss out. They don't get the practice or the publicity.

The people who love Eurovision enough to vote are the ones who will watch the semis

Not here perhaps. But what about in other countries? we can't vote for our own act, so viewer figures here are irrelevant to our chance of failure

I think lots of people watch the semifinals, just not in the big five, so I think we do lose out

Poland is growing on me

Spose.

I still think the Wolfman should have been allowed to perform naked.

We also don't release our song in Europe like others do, the winners tend to be in the charts

God Ireland nicky is soooo whiney!

Slovenia and Lithuania's songs are growing on me too. But not Ukraine.

I liked Serbia, Georgia, Belgium, Australia, Bulgaria and Latvia. Hope they all go through. I hope Ukraine go through too to poss Russia off.

Piss not poss

Belgiums song is exactly like fleurs sax song

I like Australia. Would they host of they won? The time difference would be a bitch - and getting all the acts there would cost a fortune.

Yep Suffolk - I'm in the Netherlands and the Dutch entry is on the radio all the time.

I fancy Ukraine or Georgia for the win but I have had 3 large G 'n Ts

Australia can't host, they nominate a country to host instead

Is it the Syrian refugee crisis through interpretative dance again?

UK not in it?

Am I the only one who thought that was completely inappropriate on Tuesday?

They go straight through sole. Someone else can explain why as I dont know. Maybe we put more money in.

What the hell is this guff?!

The Big Five are the countries who give the most funding to the broadcaster and the winning nation.
