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.

A bit too shrieky at the beginning, the rest too bland. She’s stunning though 😍

I love the fact that it’s mostly in Greek

I liked it!

i don't like that all the staging is done for the camera rather than the audience - it's been moving in that direction for a few years, but this time round it seems to have gone up a notch. It's like watching a music video rather than a performance.

I dislike that.

(Btw I think the BBC are on a time delay from Swedish TV. My friend tried to put Rylan on with our pics and it was out by a few mins. And your comments all seem on delay).

Greece is forgettable

Liking Switzerland

Nemo suffers from this very badly tbh.

Disappointed by Greece - that was awful!

It’s Big Bird Barbie

This is way way better on TV.

The Swiss rapping was good.

Can't get over his outfit though!

Nemo Waller-Bridge.

This is one of the few i had heard beforehand.

I quite like the staging- it's simple, but effective.

And is he wearing slippers/fluffy sliders?!?

I think Switzerland is my winner of the whole contest so far. Loved it.

Douze points for balance

Enjoyed that

Definite qualifier

I have no idea how long he took practicing this. There's a few moments we thought he'd lose his footing.

He's a little breathey at the end but that's quite the routine.

OMG fabulous from Switzerland!

Good song. Strange outfit.

Ooh Aiko. Love this.

Aww getting Dolores vibes

Probably a qualifier (Switzerland).
