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.

I really like this. I prefer it to the Greek take on ethnic music

Fun and Eurovisiony

She's far too smiley for my liking

This is fun.

I like Czechia, France and Denmark so far in that order. I am easily pleased because I have a headache.

It's refreshing to see singers not wearing glittery swimsuits catching their death. OTOH I am not a fan of the big white flowing bandages look either.

They're a bit children's tv presenters

What's it called?

Call and repeat. Don’t see that very often

Bit of gentle fun, sweet song

That one had chickens in the background - so it gets my vote.

That was fun.

I think this will be on the correct side of the board. Unlike the UK.

This is 100% qualifying.

The one thing I don't like with the camera work is you didn't get to see the chicken head background backdrop. It was fab!

I want to be annoyed by all the la la lais but it was quite fun I suppose. And all buns were seemingly unharmed in that performance too

Armenia good - traditional Eurovision and defo got the crowd going!

You are now safe for a long tea break or toilet break.

Liking Armenia a lot. This will surely qualify.

Missed the chicken.
Hope they get through.

letting the dog out........

I am hating the camera work, the lighting and the sound system fuck ups.

I saw the chicken!

Not sure Shaggy is very eurovisionary Terry 🤔

Absolutely enthralled by the presenters linguistic skills 👏

Thank you

Yes they have really good accents.

The translation subtitles are all out of time on the subtitles.

I'd love to speak another language rather than Essex.

Is the presenters Rhubarb and Custard dress heat sensitive? Her pink bits keep disappearing and reappearing, its weird
