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.

I appear to be behind you. Assume Bon Jovi are up!

JaneJeffer · 10/05/2018 20:40

Netherlands always do country.

EuroLiney · 10/05/2018 20:40

A bit Nickelback?

Spoiler: Everyone else thinks he's your Dad on Karaoke pretending he's Axl Rose.

I hate Country rock stuff anyway. And this has annoying 80's overtones that remind me of my BIL and his love for Bon Jovi.

I hate Bon Jovi.

It’s finished - let’s hope they don’t get through.

Raahh · 10/05/2018 20:41

Ya

Yes. Grin

That was a bit catchy. I hated it though.

If Denmark get through and Netherlands don't get through - then that would make my evening.

it’s the Aussies -
They do well usually.

I'm in the yeehaw! Camp. Sorry not sorry

KevinTurvey · 10/05/2018 20:42

Australia, could it be any further away from Europe?

RedToothBrush · 10/05/2018 20:43

I don't like this at all.

That dress just annoys me.

SleepingStandingUp · 10/05/2018 20:43

Im behind. I liked Denmark AND Netherlands

Pebblespony · 10/05/2018 20:43

Short skirt with offset train. In metallic material. Hmm. Only at Eurovision.

Her vocals are off tonight. She sounded better in the rehearsals.

There are a lot of short dresses, with long bits, this year.

They probably have a technical name. Grin

I have heard this once- and it reminds me a lot of something that I can't put my finger on.

The80sweregreat · 10/05/2018 20:44

Only country song I love is Kenny Rodgers with The gambler. A fab song. Maybe a bit of Dolly - that is it.

RedToothBrush · 10/05/2018 20:44

This is just 'nothing'.

I bet everyone else loves it.

YaBasic · 10/05/2018 20:44

Remind me why Oz's one-off honorary entry has become a regular gig?

Raahh · 10/05/2018 20:44

MelanieCheeks · 10/05/2018 20:44

Dress is awful. Choreography shit. Hair dreadful. Getting the audience to sing along, risky. And I don't like the song much either.

Rhubarb01 · 10/05/2018 20:46

Australia - meh!
