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.

It’s the World Cup in Russia soon - I’m dreading it!

sonjadog · 10/05/2018 20:27

How odd. She is sitting a mountain.

MelanieCheeks · 10/05/2018 20:28

Interpretative backing dancing featuring large this year.

The80sweregreat · 10/05/2018 20:28

Not a bad song. The mountain effect is eye catching.

Raahh · 10/05/2018 20:28

I'm not sure why she is in a mountain.

Wasn't she meant to be in it last year?Russia withdrew?

RedToothBrush · 10/05/2018 20:28

Is that a Russian Gay Mountain???!

RaptorInaPorkPieHat · 10/05/2018 20:28

Is that a young Boris Johnson dancing for Russia?

Pebblespony · 10/05/2018 20:29

The Serbian dude is back as a backing singer after a quick costume change.

The80sweregreat · 10/05/2018 20:29

I bet she sings at the World Cup opening ceremony.

It's not very cohesive. Lots of different elements that don't work together.

There were reports that Russian TV wouldn't show Ireland due to the gay dancers.

KevinTurvey · 10/05/2018 20:30

Didn't like that song.

EuroLiney · 10/05/2018 20:30

I'm still loving the Les Mis Viking Take That ReFormed.

YaBasic · 10/05/2018 20:30

Is this the banned lass in a wheelchair from last year? I assume they have placed her on a mountain as she would be static/she wants to detract from her chair - Decent song i think.

The80sweregreat · 10/05/2018 20:30

It’s the Cypriot Shakira woman.

Les mis/ vikings / take that!
They have to get through.

Rhubarb01 · 10/05/2018 20:32

Cyprus lady has a sense of humour...

RaptorInaPorkPieHat · 10/05/2018 20:32

Raah She wasn't allowed to enter Ukraine to compete (because she'd previously entered illegally - something to do with the whole annexation of Crimea). Russia had the option of picking someone else or pulling out.

Rhubarb01 · 10/05/2018 20:32

Blonde presenter looks like she stepped out of 'Black Swan'

Raahh · 10/05/2018 20:33

Ya yes it was.

RedToothBrush · 10/05/2018 20:34

Raahh · 10/05/2018 20:34

Oh blimey - is this meant to be be 'funny' Grin?

Rhubarb01 · 10/05/2018 20:34
