Eurovision 2023 Liverpool: Semi Final 2

[RedToothBrush]

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.

Lithuania were 8th in betting.

My guess is Georgia are the ones missing out.

Don't like the Polish one

Mae’s boys need to be back in the barracks. Fine having a revealing frock - not fine having escapees.

UK song is shocking. I’d rather have The Wheels On The Bus.

Australia!!

Yay! The Aussies are in

Or Slovenia?

Yes!!!

Thanks.

Two of my bottom 6 are already through. I'm never in step with other Eurovision fans

Must get some tinnies in for Saturday.

Yeah I would be gutted at that. But can see that .

Phew! All the ones I thought deserved it went through.

The Greek 16 year old, the Romanian 18 year old and the Danish there is no way he is 25 year old go home.

Well done One Direction Slovenia

I predicted 9/10. I had Georgia through instead of Estonia.

Gutted for Iceland

Belguim are good.
My favorites as well as the Aussies

Not a good night for the young blokes then.

I’m 2 glasses of wine in but I’m laughing so hard at this 😂 put the mouse back in the house Mae. This is a family show.
incidentally thought that about several of the acts this year. Costume fitting has been ‘tighter the better’

Can't decide who Aussie guy looks most like

See you on Saturday!

Can I suggest wee rename Slovenia to 5 Harry Styles?

Well, that was entertaining.

I need to sort out snacks for Saturday.

Poor Denmark. He was so good last night and was well received and then all went downhill tonight. I thought Albania was awful so just goes to show how diverse the voting is.

Alesha D did a her dodgy Jamaican accent at the end talk bit last night.
She's clearly been told to ditch it!

I also thought Albania was really bad.
