Eurovision 2023 Liverpool: Semi Final 2

496 replies

BBC1 8pm Thursday

10 to qualify. 6 to bin.

1 Denmark
2 Armenia
3 Romania
4 Estonia
5 Belgium
6 Cyprus
7 Iceland
8 Greece
9 Poland
10 Slovenia
11 Georgia
12 San Marino
13 Austria
14 Albania
15 Lithuania
16 Australia

Top picks to look for: Austria (though rehearsal looked underwhelming) and Australia (very heavy on the props!)

There's a few more typical Eurovision songs in there than semi one. This semi is more your guilty Eurovision pleasure than your Eurovision winner.

The Ukrainian entry, UK entry and Spanish entry also get a preview. The Ukrainian one is surprisingly good - when I first saw it I thought it was awful but it's really grown on me and the staging looks good.

Sorry, just joined, wanted to say, Belgium 's entry is a TUNE!!😂

Saw Mae perform it live last night in the arena and it was very poor vocal. Shame as I really like the song and the music video was great

She wasn't singing that live.

That performance was from last night's rehearsal show.

Good To Go.

Oh helloooooo Martin!

OublietteBravo · 11/05/2023 22:01

We reckon he should be lying across the counter in a pink suit with no shirt!

Oh dear. Not great vocals from Mae. Disappointing as I love the recorded version.

ilovesooty · 11/05/2023 22:02

Oh good.

Latest betting had Albania not qualifying. This could get interesting

Was that a wardrobe malfunction?

I thought that too!

RedToothBrush · 11/05/2023 22:03

Estonia were 10th in the betting this evening. They were 11th earlier today.

Going to be a surprise here.

Belgium went down a storm with the crowd. The staging is good and it's really upbeat.

I'd personally prefer Estonia over Georgia to qualify but I think your list isn't far off the mark.

I was at the rehearsal too! It was fascinating to watch.
I loved Belgium, Austria and Poland.
UK act looks very promising.

Are the results in random order?

Yes

I quite liked the Lithuanian one.
