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.

Moon boots

Raahh · 09/05/2024 21:21

Italy are not winning again.

domineastronomy · 09/05/2024 21:21

Italy nah

AutumnCrow · 09/05/2024 21:21

Another glittery swimsuit.

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.

I don't understand how people are happy to sit and have a jolly nice time watching it all this year given the scenes in Gaza. It's ghoulish

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 09/05/2024 21:21

Too fast! Original speed was better.

AutumnCrow · 09/05/2024 21:22

Israel, will there be booing?

AutumnCrow · 09/05/2024 21:22

Silence?

EvilRingahBitch · 09/05/2024 21:22

Having said I'd turn the TV off if I had to see one more scantily clad young woman with four dancers I've eaten my words because Italy is an absolute banger. So much better than the other identikit Leotard Dance Girls.

Also, five dancers, which means she's not relying on a homely singer standing in a dark corner filling in the notes.

TerryWogansWig · 09/05/2024 21:22

hamsterwheel!

RampantIvy · 09/05/2024 21:22

I wonder how the audience will react to Israel?

RedToothBrush · 09/05/2024 21:23

AutumnCrow · 09/05/2024 21:22

Silence?

Audience mics off...

Italy for the win!

OublietteBravo · 09/05/2024 21:24

If weather warnings were delivered through the medium of interpretive dance

Liv999 · 09/05/2024 21:24

Israel has a great voice

mathanxiety · 09/05/2024 21:25

Nice song and good performance from Israel.

Canned applause

Where's Carole Kirkwood when you need her

domineastronomy · 09/05/2024 21:25

Cheers for Israel? Surprised.

JaneJeffer · 09/05/2024 21:25

Ok who's next?

RampantIvy · 09/05/2024 21:25

A muted response from the audience.

RedToothBrush · 09/05/2024 21:26

Canned applause

We may have been in a particularly bad section of the crowd, but it did not sound like that earlier.

This is actually lovely but it’s not going to win for obvious reasons.

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 09/05/2024 21:26

Norway! I like them.

StickyStones · 09/05/2024 21:27

Definitely less cheering for Israel. Did they have to change the lyrics?
