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.

If Malta don't go through that's most of the UK's points down the swanny

That can't afford to run Eurovision with the money from the big 5 - hence the automatic qualification.

It is Euphoria
Again.

With different words.

I like the Malta song. Plus the horses. But the staging is weird.

I liked it after putting cheese in my ears
Well. I liked the chorus anyhow
Thank you for informing me about European Broadcasting Union
Learn something new
(I do like Australia as it happens but my geography was going Does Not Compute) If they pay though, yes, there ought to be a Big Six then.
Quite like Malta. Tis catchy enough.

Someone doing the sia sidekick ( Maddie?) dance!

It was okay but unmemorable.

It's not Malta's usual girl-with-big-hair-in-a-big-dress ballad.

That was a bit meh!

She’s very engaged with it all.
Iceland were frozen out.

I remember being very drunk in the student union bar the year Sonia came second. My best mate had promised a bottle of vodka if she won. He was gutted she lost.

We went through a spate of coming second.

Baileys time! Cheers dear sir terry x

We went through a spate of coming second

Never ever to be repeated.

DD just asked why they were allowed on it if they weren't very good.

How to explain...?

Now the vote is split you can see how much the televote hates us

We did used to do so well - what happened?
Anyway - it’s more rocky men. Looking a bit like rent a mob

I miss dear old Terry

Cheers indeed Sir Terry Wobegone x

This is a bit Battle of the Bands in the students union.

Losing the will to live with the last few.

Hungary - this is like a bad student union gig.

I actually like this!!!

I can't work out if this is terrible or absolute genius. I expect it to make the final.

Yeah Hungary - I like my rock entries. (Not you Netherlands). Good chorus on this.

I like!

I like a good fire effect too!
