Eurovision 2023 Liverpool: Semi Final 2

496 replies

RedToothBrush · 09/05/2023 22:47

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.

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

😂
Obviously had them custom made

dd tells me the male dancer is his husband.

TheTERFnextDoor · 11/05/2023 20:28

The dancer with Belgium has been the best act of the night so far! 😂

Backtonormalatlast · 11/05/2023 20:29

Well at least Belgium have livened it up a bit!!

OnTheRunWithMannyMontana · 11/05/2023 20:29

TheTERFnextDoor · 11/05/2023 20:30

Alesha looks stunning

the80sweregreat · 11/05/2023 20:31

Mr Cyprus !

DrMadelineMaxwell · 11/05/2023 20:32

I really liked this one at the preview.

OublietteBravo · 11/05/2023 20:32

This sounds familiar

Danish man with heart shape cut on leg is just ... I'm predicting won't go thru.
I LOATHE Sweden act. Stupid claws, Spandex bondage in a box. Why was that popular??

The emcee outfits tonight: all ticking my ugh box.
I like Armenia staging, lighting ... so they are sure to go out.
Romania not looking good....

You loathe Loreen? Really? Eurovish royalty?

He reminds me of the bloke from Hollyoaks who was in the jungle.

He has big arms.

Song, bit meh.

This is like the music from an advert for a mid-priced unisex perfume.

the80sweregreat · 11/05/2023 20:27

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

This is the winner for me. Love it! Very catchy, disco, funk from the 70's and 80's. #loveatfirstlisten

Awrite · 11/05/2023 20:34

I can't help it but I like Cyprus.

Jellykat · 11/05/2023 20:34

Mahoosive arms, that is all..

ilovesooty · 11/05/2023 20:34

His trousers have shrunk.

Arcade vibes.

pussycatinfluffyslippers · 11/05/2023 20:34

His underpants must be awfully tight to hit those notes. Shock

Just said this to DD and DH who totally disagree with mw!

It's Owen Warner.

I wish Malta had performed in the second semi final as they would have made it through. I liked them. “I feel better in my sweater.”

OublietteBravo · 11/05/2023 20:34

It reminds me of Thunder by Imagine Dragons
