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?

I'll be watching the actual contest on Saturday but don't usually watch the semis.
Tradition in our house is a curry, then scorecards at the ready for me and the kids - OH hates it so it usually off down the pub - gutted that he won't be allowed to do that this year so goodness knows what he'll do instead.

With backup signers like hers, I would be hitting all the high notes too.

Raahh · 18/05/2021 21:01

Jane yes. Grin.

Marty Whelan who is presenting on RTÉ said she is a mixture of Lulu and Twiggy.

Raahh · 18/05/2021 21:02

There goes the antique crystal decanter.

banivani · 18/05/2021 21:03

Lulu and Twiggy haha! But very professional, not bad at all really!

She'll catch her death in that.

I'm sure that Albanian lady with the dreadlocks a few years ago hit a higher note than that.

Oh look Mums Semmelröv! He’s a Londoner now you know.

herecomesthsun · 18/05/2021 21:04

Very dangerous, the dogs will be coming from miles around.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 18/05/2021 21:05

Will he be the Daði Mack this year? Such a shame last year's surefire winner ended up getting wasted.

dillite · 18/05/2021 21:05

Poor thing didn't have any fabric left by the time it was her turn to get a costume, so she had to improvise using some yarn and wishful thinking.

JaneJeffer · 18/05/2021 21:05

I wish he lived here @banivani in my house with me

popcorndiva · 18/05/2021 21:05

Love dadi freya

His song last year is my DS2 fave song

Was that Suus, "ilovesooty? i love that song!

Right 4 to go. I actually love Romania, the message about self love amnesia is a strong one. But the staging I think loses the strength of the message.

I think they must have had a strict but adequate joint clothing allowance for all of the performers, but Russia sneaked in early and took three quarters of it just for her Amazing Technicolor Dream-Frock.

Raahh · 18/05/2021 21:08

I feel there's a story to all this.

But I'm not getting it.

RedToothBrush · 18/05/2021 21:08

Some one went crazy with the tie die.
