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.

A bit confused about that song!

Cyprus if DS's favourite.

angelina Jolie! Getting over Brad.

Interesting outfit.

At least it's not a colour changing skirt.

The staging is very Beyonce

Bet they go through - they've got the dance!

This does sound very like something though.

She does Pilates! Every day I bet.

Doesn't she need a bra? I can't see that outfit providing any support.

It’s a bit little mix with other people.

She can certainly dance.

Chicken.

Here is your evening reminder

My favourites are 1. Austria 2. Bulgaria 3. Israel.

I do not have the ear for a Eurovision hit, so all these three will not do well.

Those presenters are stuck in the 80s with the clothes!

Excellent re-cap Red

What on earth was that Irish effort? They seriously may as well just play the video of My Lovely Horse every year.

My top five
Israel: Chicken Pikachu Mofo
Bulgaria: Sia Man Bun Fisherman Jumpers
Finland: Monstrous Knife Throwing
Czech Republic: Camel Trumpet Cappuccino
Switzerland: Shakira in a Western Hat

The other five to go through
Albania: Dental Zeppelin
Belgium: Echoey Bond Theme
Estonia: Operatic Dress
Austria: Plastic Jumper Landing Platform
Cyprus: Fiery gold foil trousers

Israel must win tonight.

HAHAHAHA @RedToothBrush that's made my night

I liked Cyprus but I voted for Albania. I love his voice.

OK - place your bets.

I'm going for Finland, Israel, Cyprus, Switzerland, Estonia, Czech Republic, Armenia, Austria, Bulgaria and hopefully Albania

I wonder if Megs dress will change colour and be humongous Saturday week? At least the wedding doesn’t clash with Eurovision!

I am still going with Albania. And possibly Austria.

Having heard Israel again, I think it's worse than ever. .

I still don't get why either Belgium or Estonia are highly regarded.

I just realised Israel reminds me of Divine.
