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.

Who remembers that scary Albanian lady?

Scary big hands.

This is very nasal

I like the colour of her dress.

That is my positive imput.

If you saw the rehearsal clips of this, it's like a different song. New costume.

It's better but not a qualifier.

I like the lyrics. The melody not so much.

The hood reminds of what Kylie wore in can't get you out my head video

Perhaps she borrowed them from Azerbaijan

The hands were freaky.
This is bland.

How do you disguise a titan, anyway, they are really big.

The blue eye shadow is very retro

Albania, getting the audience to clap along. At least she's remembered to put a frock on. Vocals a bit pitchy in the faster end bit?

The vocals on the Albanian entry need a bit more Katy Perry oomph.

This is an I will survive/Titanium/im a survivor mashup

Ah... Greece 2003. Happy memories.

It’s already better than SF1

This one is a bit different. Folky music with a modern twist.

This woman is gorgeous

Why is she wearing a pink nappy?

Too high pitched to start with. Sounds like summer music in Spain on holidays! Helena was so much better all those years ago. Very disappointed as normally love Greece.

I think it's silver @OublietteBravo

I was just saying the same would love to see Malta win it soon

I thought it was just me 🤣

Greece starting on a note only dogs can hear, before prancing around in a silver nappy, I'd be struggling to hum this 5 minutes later.

Greek is too lithpy for credible rapping.
