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.

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

Because people like us 🤷🏼‍♀️

Australian tv Channel give money for this so they let them in. But only in the semis! Bit of a low blow really when others get a free pass. ( like us)

It's the Georgian 3 Tenors.

Bring back capes. I like a cape

Rhubarb01 · 10/05/2018 20:48

Official answer to the Australia participation question - they are members of the European Broadcasting Union.

Pebblespony · 10/05/2018 20:48

Sounds a bit like a national anthem.

JaneJeffer · 10/05/2018 20:48

These three could rock a cape.

Well they can sing. But it's a bit meh. Would've been great for Eurovision sometime circa 1982.

The three tenors have let themselves go.

Pop opera went out in 2006

RedToothBrush · 10/05/2018 20:49

when others get a free pass. ( like us)

We pay to go straight to the final. Definitely not free.

KevinTurvey · 10/05/2018 20:49

That was entirely underwhelming.

The80sweregreat · 10/05/2018 20:50

Good with his hands eh?

EuroLiney · 10/05/2018 20:50

Australia definitely had some tuning issues. But at this stage after rehearsals ... well it's down to the singer I guess? Shame. Was a catchy song.

Pebblespony · 10/05/2018 20:50

I didn't realise the UK paid more.

MelanieCheeks · 10/05/2018 20:50

The pet shop boys with hats! Shame about the singing.

JaneJeffer · 10/05/2018 20:50

He can't sing.

RedToothBrush · 10/05/2018 20:51

Cowboy hats are obviously a thing this year too. And leather jackets never go out of fashion in Eurovision land.

Rhubarb01 · 10/05/2018 20:51

Yes Pebbles we pay lots for the privilege of coming nearly bottom every year.

The80sweregreat · 10/05/2018 20:51

Red - we have to pay to get in? Oh dear - we should have a referendum on all this.
It’s james bay
