10 to Qualify

Red Yes! possibly a bit of Bonnie Tyler in there too.
If it wasn't for Ukraine and the current situation, I think this would be the winner.

Fabulous. A certain qualifier.

It consists of a slightly raised voice saying 'Go Cornelia' in Swedish.

That's a shoo in.

Definitely!

And 'Oh ja!' at the end.

No prob getting into the final for Sweden methinks.

Lots of lighting for this one - look away now.

Have we really got to number 18?

This is Eurovision - it is by no means certain that Ukraine will win.

This song has echoes of Small Town Boy at the start.

Has her leg been mauled by the Norwegian wolves?

There isn't a dance number through to the final yet this year. The final needs it.

Czechia really good. Way better than Austria's techno on Tuesday.

I like this one.

Another unfortunate fabric shortage I think.

Definitely!

I think this is the first Eurovision with no women in high heels.

Very Sinead O' Connorish

I hope Czech Republic go through, we do need some EDM to break up the slower dreary songs

They all look delighted!

Sweden are safely through based on that performance

My Eurovision thread won't let me get to the bottom of the thread it suddenly quits the app. Only this thread no others ... very bizarre

Liking Czech Republic too

There aren't 100s of female big ballads this year. A couple of years ago, there were loads. There a really wide range of stuff this year.

Israel: Cloned Corsetted Vain Bloke
Serbia: Hand Washing Megan Markle
Azerbaijan: Dull Screechy Stairs
Georgia: Steam Punk Willy Wonka Clowns
Malta: Glitter Ball Dress
San Marino: Gary Glitter's Dressing Up Box
Australia: Auntie's Best Necklace with half an Ostrich
Cyprus: Off-key Aphrodite
Ireland: Wonder Woman's Big Knickers
North Macedonia: UK 2021 Bin Bag Jacket
Estonia: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Yyyyeeehhh Haaaa!
Romania: Fetish Flamenco
Poland: Waterfalls Suit Guy
Montenegro: SkyNews on Channel 231
Belgium: Tin Foiled Boy Band Guy Forgot His Mates
Sweden: Cerys Does Sunrise Silver Tassles
Czech Republic: Purple Dance Number

Really struggling to get 10 tonight. Some of these, I'm not so keen on but I think they will add some fun/interest to the final.

Serbia, Georgia, San Marino, Ireland, Estonia, Romania, Poland, Belgium, Sweden, Czech Republic

Roumania- target audience in to assess leather trousers, Michael flat.yes big belt and a shimmy dance

poladn- was my favourite song before watching any visuals, what a voice he has! I’m not sure the staging helped it, I’ll fitting suit and wafty/ jerky dancers. But hope it qualifies!

Also a fan of Czechia, definitely need a bit of EDM!
