Love the pink hat !
My Nan had one very similar

This must seem so surreal for the Ukrainian entry.

the80sweregreat · 10/05/2022 20:34

They will get through I bet
Lots going on

Chanting and Ukrainian rap. With ethnic pipes. It didn’t even win the Ukrainian selection.

mathanxiety · 10/05/2022 20:35

This is good but not a patch on last year's Ukrainian song. It will get through all the same.

Rhubarb01 · 10/05/2022 20:35

Yes, this is perfect Eurovision fayre...flute, traditional folksy tune, silly dancing and rap...

the80sweregreat · 10/05/2022 20:36

It's very tuneful.
I liked it

Raahh · 10/05/2022 20:36

It does seem to have a bit of everything, this.

honeyrider · 10/05/2022 20:36

Ukraine are the favourites to win. Best so far not that it would be hard.

WeAreTheHeroes · 10/05/2022 20:36

I wouldn't say Ukraine is a shoo in for the win - they'll be in the final and do really well, but don't bank on the Eurovision audience, or the judging panels, giving them the votes for a win.

Have to say the live performance was not as good as the video version

Mika is looking well.
He doesn't seem to age

ChloeHel · 10/05/2022 20:37

This years songs are pretty boring aren’t they….

IsFuzzyBeagMise · 10/05/2022 20:38

I like the Ukrainian entry. Lots going on. Very colourful. I like the folk element and good rapping too.

Disagree generally tbh. NOt sure its a vintage year but I like a few of these.

I missed the intros of the presenters and have just said "that guy looks like Mika" and it bloody is!

The second half of this semi is stronger and the second semi is the stronger if the two.

OublietteBravo · 10/05/2022 20:41

Not enough light to see the act seems to be this year’s theme. Bring back capes!

the80sweregreat · 10/05/2022 20:41

Wow, bit of rock !
