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.

He's an adams Family extra.

Lost boys rip off!

Just realised he's singing in English.

I had a horse with a wall eye like that once

Ukraine are going through. Even if you do have to listen carefully to realise it's actually in English.

Oh Jane- yes, the Russian nans. They were great.

Better than this Marilyn Manson wannabe.

Raah, he knows he's singing a dead donkey though

English?

It’s very gothic.

Now he's showing off with the piano

This has a kind of 80's vibe.

Costume change! Interpretative dancing! Playing the coffin piano! I'm warming to this one.

Burning piano!

Rhubarb even with subtitles, it took me a while to realise!

I thought it was a coloured contact lens

How's he going to get downstairs now?

I'm voting for the Les Mis Howard Donald Vikings.
