Norway really struggled with the vocals. Nice enough, good dancing and staging, song was a bit meh.

It’s a bit ravey for a Tuesday night

Well lots of red staging worked really well for the UK last year.

Ooh this singer is struggling with tuning

Another weak muttered offering from another oddly dressed male

There’s been some really shaky vocals all through tonight

Norway was classic Eurovision so quite happy with it

This Red guy is bloody awful

Ooh, clones.

I guess nobody wants the cost of staging it next year.

His vocals aren't great. Disappointing
(Thats the second year in a year Belgium)

He’s ripping off Olly Alexander.

At least Olly can sing!

I like this because it reminds me of so many other things

I quite like this 😄

Except when he is in the Eurovision

I can’t work out if he wants to be Sebastian in the little mermaid or in a Kylie music video

Belgium way too much rave but will probably qualify.

I love Eurovision House Bangers, but that really missed the mark for me.

Belgium: Red Sebastian – “Strobe Lights”. Great staging, best so far! Qualifying

Did he borrow that outfit from Sam Smith?

I would love it if they went back to old fashioned singing..instead of using lights, background and staging .

Belgium is doing my head in !

Fuck off with your birthday!

It was mine 5 months ago ...
So what !! 🤣🤣

ENGLISH SUBTITLES NOWWWW

I like Italy. Go Lucio!

Trust me.

This lad looks a bit peaky

Ok..
I am now in love 💓💓
