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).

This next one went down a storm.

Netherlands- love the song, not so keen on the sequin bolero look.

@ArcaneWireless I've just worked it out. It's Explorers by Muse!

EsmaCannonball · 09/05/2023 21:16

My favourite Eurovision entry of all time is Finland 1976, Fredi and the Friends, Pump-Pump. Nothing will ever beat it.

If Eswatini were in Europe too, that would blow everybody's minds!

They used to be called Swaziland, but were annoyed at everybody mistaking them for Switzerland, so they changed their official name.

I don't know if the final straw was the episode of Shooting Stars that Richard E Grant was on and Vic & Bob kept asking him his home country and then saying "I think you'll find it's pronounced Switzerland!"

It's a guaranteed 0 points on Pointless, Eswatini. Grin

Who’s that guy from E17 who ran himself over?

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 09/05/2023 21:17

It's a guaranteed 0 points on Pointless, Eswatini.

Indeed it is Grin

Like one of The Young Offenders is singing a song here

FanSpamTastic · 09/05/2023 21:17

Loved the Common Linnets - Finland is very ear wormy - could be a winner!

Some of this reminds me of Falcon's Rock Me Amadeus. This is one of the favourites.

They all have Ross teeth!

There is always a place for a try too hard really bonkers Eurovision song. And teeth, lots of teeth.
