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.

Is there something wrong with the sound? This sounds very off-key too.

meh

Pebbles it's clearly a thing. Somewhere.

Flatvia!

Good looking swede alert.
Love abit of cheese.

Georgia sang ok, so can't blame the sound I guess.

Only if you promise to post us a picture of it in style and beauty Pebbles

Latvia - off key.

It very Justin Trousersnake.

His a bit Justin.

He's a Belieber

Oubliette I think they are all just a bit crap.

Now this sounds like everything Justin Timberlake did. Before his recent single.

Given the quality of tonight's performances I reckon Denmark, Norway and Netherlands are all going through.

He hasn’t any floaty things.

Swedish Justin Timberlake, only better looking than the original.

Sweden - catchy. Clever staging. Is he very short?

The Swedish dance moves are very odd.

Bits of it sound like they ripped off the Jacksons. Amongst others.

Aw bless. DH is now twitching his foot. He always loves the Swedish entry.

The baby loves this. Could be the lights.

It goes on a bit.

The two semis are very mis-matched this year. Several people who sang in tune and performed well went home on Tuesday. And I think some dross will make it through tonight.

Watercolour sardines is a thing.

It's the same every year oubliette
