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.

Thank god. One of them can actually sing!

Estonia is 1st one I imagine I could like (easily imagine).

This is a rip off of a previous entry but I can't think which one.

Comefromaway · 11/05/2023 20:22

I see the stage manager has been out with his phone fir this one

Jellykat · 11/05/2023 20:23

Great voice, but the song,.. meh

Raahh · 11/05/2023 20:23

She can sing, but it sounded like something else and I wasn't keen.

OublietteBravo · 11/05/2023 20:23

This feels longer than 3 minutes

EsmaCannonball · 11/05/2023 20:24

So far preferring the first semi-final. Everything a bit dull except Romania, and that was a godawful song.

Gooseysgirl · 11/05/2023 20:24

C'mon Belgium - liven things up a bit!!

TheTERFnextDoor · 11/05/2023 20:24

Estonia was incredible

Diegofrompennyburn · 11/05/2023 20:25

Gay disco banger!

lljkk · 11/05/2023 20:25

Peter Sagan in a George Michael hat

OublietteBravo · 11/05/2023 20:25

Pink again. Are those plus fours?

crumpet · 11/05/2023 20:26

The boys are loving pink this evening

pussycatinfluffyslippers · 11/05/2023 20:26

He's nicked Boy Georges hat.

the80sweregreat · 11/05/2023 20:26

This isn't bad
Apart from the bad clothes , it's very catchy

Comefromaway · 11/05/2023 20:26

He performed at the village and there was a problem with his backing track so they did it a Capella

ilovesooty · 11/05/2023 20:26

Nearly all the eliminated songs from SF1 were better than this so far.

the80sweregreat · 11/05/2023 20:27

It's got an 80s vibe to it
I like it

EsmaCannonball · 11/05/2023 20:27

I'm trying to place the trousers. Sort of plus-four, toreador, Cossack, plus-size jodhpur.

Raahh · 11/05/2023 20:27

I do hope the floor is clean, with all this cavorting around on it.

Comefromaway · 11/05/2023 20:27

They sweep it between the acts.
