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

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.

All the mannequins are to make sure the cellist didn't look as wooden as she is.

Its a 1980s horror movie.

The mannequins are a bit bonkers (yay!), but Romania isn't half bad!

EuroLiney · 10/05/2018 20:13

Bonnie Transylvania.

Romania - bored but I bet it gets through.

Don't think this will go through (No. 2 is the death slot, isn't it?)

I believe the technical term is 'Balkan ballad'

Are those dustbin drums?

Raahh · 10/05/2018 20:16

Well Catweazel on the flute is a highlight. But not much else.

RedToothBrush · 10/05/2018 20:16

I like this!

Ethnic Piping Ravers.

sonjadog · 10/05/2018 20:16

Either they are all very small or that guy is massive.

KevinTurvey · 10/05/2018 20:16

Albert Einstein on the pipe Grin accompanied by Ming the Merciless.

Fucking awful!

The80sweregreat · 10/05/2018 20:16

Hmm - the audience seem bemused.

YouBetterWORK · 10/05/2018 20:16

Serbia is a bit forgettable really.
