This is LIVERPOOL calling...

Join us for the compulsory saxophone, nukes and tractors, an ewok (?!) bad dancing and lots of dry ice, glitter and neon.

2 Malta - Dance (Our Own Party) / The Busker

Semi Final one looks like the one to watch and the harder one to qualify from.

For all the nerds the big five and Ukrainian have had their draw for the Grand Final:
In the first half are France, Spain and Italy (positions to be decided on Friday)
In the second half are Germany (position to be decided), Ukrainian 19th and UK 26th (confirmed positions).

These are the kind of moves I make to my ' Joe wicks ten minute senior work out '

I still haven't forgiven Switzerland for breaking my heart in 1988, pipping the UK by 1 point. Scots boy lost out.

JustRingJoeDuffy · 09/05/2023 20:46

Croatia was such a mix of Eurovision crazy. Wonder if they got Chatgot to write it.

JaneJeffer · 09/05/2023 20:47

Here's everyone's favourite European country

OublietteBravo · 09/05/2023 20:47

Switzerland can actually sing. He deserves a spot in the final.

the80sweregreat · 09/05/2023 20:47

This girl is ' insta ready '

RitaCrudgington · 09/05/2023 20:47

Checking in with Eurovision name change. I liked Serbia. Switzerland wants to be Måns when he grows up.

Here for your delectation is the annual Popbitch guide to the songs.

I suspect Switzerland will do very well.
Didn't expect such political songs (my ignorance).

Silly Croatia song is quite political, too.

The strobe lighting, omg...

the80sweregreat · 09/05/2023 20:48

This isn't bad
The wonky staging is off putting though
Love a unicorn song

Erm...

Norway was a reject from the Musical 'Six'
Malta had glittery jumpers
Serbia- interesting staging. Not as good as last year.

Show quote history

I thought it reminded me of the song House of Holbein from Six! Love that musical. Must be why I liked the song.

Love Israel. What a voice 😍

Comefromaway · 09/05/2023 20:49

I think they are singing live as she sang better last night.

JaneJeffer · 09/05/2023 20:49

I don't like it at all

ILikeToSleepALot · 09/05/2023 20:49

The Croatians are an old punk band from the 80s, their song is meant to be a Dr Strangelove style Putin diss. I personally love this sort of thing. Punk is meant to be confusing and offensive.

the80sweregreat · 09/05/2023 20:49

She has a nice voice
The male dancers are nice

EsmaCannonball · 09/05/2023 20:49

Wonderbras and pvc. I'm having flashbacks to my 1990s clubbing days. Except the music was better.

Her trousers look like they are made from bin liners!

Creamcrackersandricecakes · 09/05/2023 20:50

Hated Switzerland. That means he'll probably win. Israel girl is gorgeous but a bit nasally.

the80sweregreat · 09/05/2023 20:50

It's a 90s rave
About unicorns

TheTERFnextDoor · 09/05/2023 20:50

Israel was impressive

Raahh · 09/05/2023 20:50

Do we want to see her dance?

Is that dancing?

It's a very generic Sia-esque dance song. I'm not keen. She has a good voice though.

the80sweregreat · 09/05/2023 20:51

Moldova was so good last year! Loved it

And… Israel want to win!
