Eurovision 2018: Dust off your hamster wheel and dig out your pink pleather leotard

[OublietteBravo]

I couldn't see a 2018 Eurovision thread. But surely I can't be the only one who has been checking out this year's songs.

Semi final 1 is looking tough - my money is on the winner coming through this one.

Meanwhile semi final 2 seems wide open. Pretty much anyone could make it through.

Plus there are some reasonable songs from the 6 guaranteed finalists.

I want to throw swords at this one!
It sounds familiar.

I never liked her on X Factor, but I defy many people to name who actually won the year she came second

Only liking Israel, Czech Republic and Bulgaria so far.

Very early mornings here in Australia!

Very Eurovision staging. Catchy tune. Ought to make it through.

Those uniforms are out if the sound of music.

I love a good knife throwing act.

I like it!

The backing singers were suddenly a bit squeaky.

She can sing. She isn’t scared

ooh- this one has a nice beard.

Nothing scares Saaaaara. She just scares everyone else.

They all have beards these days.
It’s big business the beard industry

The Armenian guy could have dressed up a bit...

This has the potential to be the best ballad of the evening. He's got a nice voice.

Oh was the last act her from X factor? Blimey -
Is he singing ‘come here’?

No Man Bun though.

Raahh how to open your wine

More jumpers! Is it cold in lisborn?

classic 'does anyone fancy a cup of tea?' Eurovision song

Go on someone push those dominoes over.

He's singing 'Qami' - no idea what it means.

No expense spared on the staging of this one

Put kettle on - or more wine song. I have a migraine because of the lights!

He's caged in - are they scared he might escape and savage the audience?

I recommend a tour of one of the port houses in Porto with some sampling afterwards!
