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.

I'm a bit behind (had to work late) and am only on Latvia. I shall be gutted if Denmark don't make it.

I can vote too!

I'm between Hungary and Australia.

From this one, I love Denmark. Nothing came close for me.

I appreciate the robot's 'size doesn't matter' sign. As someone who is 4ft 8.

It does matter when you can't reach things in Aldi though. It's a pain in the neck.

Moldova will probably get through. Novelty record.

@RedToothBrush apologies I attributed your great synopsis to another earlier. Thank you for this. Hubby and I are in stitches

Sterling work again for that second round up. Douze points xx

Vote Hungary🤘🏻

Tough call tonight. I'm going for:

1. Denmark
2. Sweden
3. Norway
4. Ukraine
5. Netherlands
6. Serbia
7. Malta
8. Moldova
9. Hungary

10. Australia

pebblespony tell the baby to vote for the Danish

This thread is far wittier and warmer than the BBC Twitter feed.

Denmark definitely my favourite from today's semi.

It's not controversial to dislike Norway. It was shit.

Time for a cuppa I think.

The Vikings got my vote. DH went for the celebrity squares cos I liked that one too and couldn't decide.

They took a year to learn the routine?

Richard Arnold is embarrassing. Crumping. really?

If Australia win, and nominate us to do it, I think that's unfair. Really it should go to the one who came second, surely? which won't be us. more like 2nd from bottom

But Australia won't win, so it's moot.

1. Sweden
2. San Marino
3. Malta
4. Poland
5. Ukraine
6. Russia
7. Denmark
8. Holland
9. Serbia

10. grudgingly Norway

I attributed your great synopsis to another earlier

I only steal a summary of what you lot put!

Oh yes. We have Eurovision to thank for inflicting the Michael Flatley on the world.

Enjoyed the dancing!

Can't beat a bit of Riverdance.

Vikings and Swedish better looking than the original Justin Timberlake are my favs.

Riverdance was great- but Michael Flatley annoyed me intensely

Can’t vote for Australia, so I’ve voted Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands and Ukraine.

Yay, riverdances off to the kitchen fir more wine......

I HATE riverdance.

Its ALWAYS on the filler bit.
