OK, I know I'm probably talking to a niche market, but any other euroviz fans out there? Scorecards ready for the first semi-final? got your tree up? bets placed? predictions?

On the singing live requirement, i think that has been relaxed this year. So there may be some miming to backing.

Mother I know, that's what confused me- because she really didn't look live (if tht makes sense Grin).

MotherOfGodWeeFella · 18/05/2021 20:17

Really? That's a shame.

Raahh · 18/05/2021 20:17

Jaqueline that would make sense.

Will join you for the final. Dont think I can work up enthusiasm for a semi.
For some reason, I didnt think there would be one this year. No idea why I thought that. Perhaps there wasnt one last year.
I think I thought we would be kicked out because of the B word.

Never watch the semis but am in front of the telly this year! Big crowd isn’t it?

JaneJeffer · 18/05/2021 20:17

Ooookay

RedToothBrush · 18/05/2021 20:18

Its a Russia Dalek!

TooMuchYarn · 18/05/2021 20:18

Number 2 song is not memorable. Preferred the first canary yellow one. They reminded me of Rod, Jane and Freddy with extras.
OMG. Russia. WTF?!

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 18/05/2021 20:19

Is that Billie Eilish's Russian aunt?

JaneJeffer · 18/05/2021 20:19

The Russians need to stick to hacking the Irish health service. They're better at that.

Raahh · 18/05/2021 20:19

I really can't find the words for this.

RedToothBrush · 18/05/2021 20:19

This is Eurovision. Hope it qualifies. If only for the WTF moment.

ilovesooty · 18/05/2021 20:19

Great horses. This is a bit like the Ukraine winner years ago.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 18/05/2021 20:20

This sounds like the Russian version of Just Say No, by Zammo and friends.

ilovesooty · 18/05/2021 20:20

With shades of Turkey in 2003.

Ah. The Swedish refugee.

banivani · 18/05/2021 20:21

I liked Russia! It worked in Russian Grin Sweden now (my country) be nice to him he’s only a little fella

RedToothBrush · 18/05/2021 20:23

This could win. Its good.

JaneJeffer · 18/05/2021 20:23

This sounds like Avicii or something?

I've always wanted to say this, but is Sweden a bit....pitchy?

He's very good and he's certainly giving it all he's got.

The song's got potential, but is a little bit underwhelming, though.

ilovesooty · 18/05/2021 20:24

Definitely a qualifier. Oh there goes the key change. Very Eurovision.
