[Itssosunny]

My favourites this year in no particular order:
France

Azerbaijan Netherlands Italy

I think I want

Iceland
Australia
Poland
Czech rep
San marino
Serbia
Georgia
Belarus
Slovenia
Estonia

To qualify... But past San Marino it was tough picking. Not vintage

I want Finland, Georgia, and Poland to go through.

Who did he say the scary woman was?

@RedToothBrush am in complete agreement about the top five, after that not so bothered!

Dana international looks animated.

Mine and DDs top 10 (not like we do a scoreboard or anything...) to qualify are:

Finland
Czech Republic
Serbia
Australia
SAN Marino
Iceland
Belgium
Greece
Cyprus
Poland

Did anyone else cry a teeny tiny bit at the kids can??
Anyone? No? Me neither...

The Czech guy IS a cockernee!

The singers sound better singing with Rylan, in his car, than they did on stage.

It's academic, as we in the UK can't vote tonight, but in the absence of any especially good songs, I think I'd turn things on their head and go by the 'When they go high, we go low' principle. Therefore: San Marino for the win.

The second semi-final is on Thursday evening and the participants will be

Albania
Armenia
Austria
Azerbaijan
Switzerland
Denmark
Croatia
Ireland
Lithuania
Latvia
Moldova
North Macedonia
Malta
The Netherlands
Norway
Romania
Russia
Sweden

Will you all be back on Thursday night???

I'm not sure Dana International can move her features anymore.

I never saw him on whatever it was he was first on, but Dylan is a natural.

I hope the MM app is working properly on Saturday night. It's painful tonight.

Rylan not Dylan - bloody autocorrect

Oh yes. Back on Thursday night.

Absolutely! Go Norway! You are all in for a treat.

Not really.

If these are the songs that won to represent their country, you'd have to wonder what didn't make the cut????

The ones I like / have grown on me..

Finland
Poland
Belgium
Australia
San Merino

Back on Thursday. I think it's a much tougher semi.

Thankfully

Will you all be back on Thursday night???

Thanks for that info, Whatcha.

You just try and stop me!!!!

I hated Rylan when he was on X Factor, but he's grown on me a lot over the years. He's very funny as a presenter. He's a good foil for Scott.

Our qualifiers (total points based on me plus 4 teenagers all scoring according to the Eurovision 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 system) are:
Australia: 50
Iceland: 35
Greece: 35
Estonia: 32
Cyprus: 28
Czech Republic: 20
Serbia: 19
Poland: 18
Georgia: 17
Hungary: 15

(Finland, Poland and San Marino got nil points)

If these are the songs that won to represent their country, you'd have to wonder what didn't make the cut???? shock

Completely agree, but tbf, the rest of Europe must have thought the exact same about us when Dustin the Turkey and Jemini graced their stage
