Eurovision Semi Final 2 - No Spoilers

[RedToothBrush]

Welcome back! Time for more Eurovision…

I bring good news; after last year’s absence the key change is back! Whoop! (See if you can spot it)

Tonight has folk, fairytales and well No Limits. No. No. No. No. No. No. Limits. Theres lots of circles

This year is a bit different to previous years. The BIG FIVE plus the HOST all perform like the other contestants at all three semi final performance as part of the main show to try and level the playing field. France, Spain and Italy will perform in Semi 2.

Don’t miss: Bookies 2nd Fav Switzerland, Spain, jury tempter Italy and roof-raiser Netherlands. There’s a few other half decent songs tonight too to please Eurovision fans. It WILL be better than Tuesday!

Out of the other 16 entries, only 10 will go through to the final. The semi-final is TELEVOTE ONLY.

After the conclusion of Semi 2, the qualifying finalists will be drawn into THREE lots. Four will draw ‘First Half’, Five will draw ‘Second Half’ and the remainer will be ‘Producers Choice’ and can be placed anywhere in the show. Sweden has already drawn their order for the final and will perform 1st. The Big Five also have already been drawn - UK and Germany got first half. France got second half. Italy and Spain got producers choice. The producers will put out the running order for the Final in the early hours of Friday morning (it’s usually before 1am UK time). The Final is TELEVOTE AND JURY VOTE.

Spain just sleazy

Hubby was a bit bemused , but he liked the speakman woman !

Love the graphics to this ....

Wtaf is this? Drug fuelled Bjork?!?

Nearly saw her breakfast. Not sure if that's more off putting than the music

Excellent. Psycho bunnies from San Marino.

It's Lene Lovich! (showing my age...)

Saara Aalto alike

I'm liking pink punk bunnies from San Marino

Would be better if she wasn't singing. Graphics very good like OP said.

Getting Gwen Stefani ‘what you waiting for’ vibes from this

And staging generally...

It’s flamenco manga on acid

This is just weird.
Was it directed by Tim Burton ?

There cant be any pink material left in the fabric shops of San Marino

I think this is going to struggle by comparison with Ireland if it makes the final.

Yes! Geen meets the Arctic monkeys

I like this

She wishes!

Exactly what I was thinking. It's all very Coraline.

Canestan anyone?

I went to San Marino once and it was nothing like that.

I've been mum taxi tonight so haven't watched most of this. It seems from the radio on the way home to be better than Tuesdays. But that wouldn't be difficult! I dont really want to see the Israel performance. Partly because I don't think they should be in it, and partly because I think they have not done the entrant any favours sticking her on in front of a hostile crowd and with protesters outside to represent her country. Its not fair on her.

Well, I would have voted for that

I actually think Malta is a more likely qualifier than San Marino on the basis of tonight’s performances
