Eurovision Semi Final 1 - No Spoilers

[RedToothBrush]

Welcome to this year's MN Eurovision fest!

Tonight gold and white are the ‘In’ colours. There's the obligatory wind machines and pyro. Watch out for dancing surprises cos there's No Rules and a distinct issue with the wardrobe department!

Don’t miss: Uk, Ukraine, Fan fav Croatia, WTF Finland hmm yes and hell yes Ireland.

Housekeeping: Out of the other 15 entries, only 10 will go through to the final. The semi-final is TELEVOTE ONLY. The UK, Germany and Sweden will all perform tonight as part of the main show in a change to previous years although they have already automatically qualified for the final.

This is fairly normal after all the other ones
She looks great

Australia don't know what to try

It's been explained multiple times on mumsnet why Australia are in here and I still don't get it

Still love Azerbaijan even though second bloke's vocals aren't as strong. I'm going to vote for them.

Non-binary indigenous bloke plus didgeridoo did well in the polls.

Like Israel

Aussie Yazoo?

Why did she have those randoms following her?

Not for me

Disappointing!

Still 'tuning issues' on some notes though. Is it the sound system causing a lot of the vocalists problems? They must all be able to sing - just not very well tonight for some reason.

Australia just fancied joining in and they said yes. Best not to overthink it really.
That is a big old didgeridoo.

Has the keyboard player borrowed a bodysuit from Slovenia?

The crowd liked that.

I LOVED Salvador Sobral.

Is she 16?

I approach my practice in a way where there is no division. I don't like to think of myself as an LGBTQ person or an Aboriginal person or a person of colour. That's not where I am at any more. I am looking beyond that.

Sorry, not non-binary
He has sung better than that though

Gave up watching to watch the Kevin Spacey doc but Croatia stood out for me. Found the UK staging sleazy. Came over all Mary Whitehouse but I can't imagine the grannies thinking that was lovely. It could almost be a good song if the vocals were more powerful.

Full face masks are big this year, aren't they?

Ooh, misery through the medium of interpretive dance ...

Let her sing FFS. What's with all the cling ons everywhere?

😂
It is very ' arty '

I love this

Very meh this

Mob cap chic

At least she can sing which is more than a lot of them tonight.

not my thing though.

i like the silver eyes.
