Eurovision 2026 Vienna Semi Final 2 - Thursday 14 May 8pm

[RedToothBrush]

After Tuesday's festival of Fire and Ice (with no Will Ferrell irony) and the truly wonderfully socked Australia/Austria Interval act from Cutprice Katherine Ryan and her pal Austrian Smashy I'm sure you all can't wait. Tonight sees a Eurovision song called "Ya Ya Ya". Could it be anymore Eurovision? Get your pleather and odd knee high boots on.

It is yes

Oooo this has that Je ne sais quois! Simple but effective. This is going to do really well

Piano. And Harp.

They really want to win.

I want a sparkly piano

My husband is going to want that piano when he sees it

That will be an eternal question. WTF was she thinking?

It’s got it all hasnt it!

Tuesday was all knee high boots. Today is all the Swarovski crystals.

So far, I'm not wowed by this, it sounds like a very generic Eurovsion song.

Can't make out a word she's singing either (and I have subtitles) that might be an issue with the sound.

The performance of the night there

Missed opportunity for a burning piano though. Haven’t had one of those for a while.

And a elevating platform.

Australia REALLY REALLY want to win.

In fairness she didn't marry him.

If they won would it be in Australia or would they delegate it?

She's going to hold a note for 28 seconds? My dog will have a fit.

Another country would co host on their behalf

Yes, full house for a drinking game - big dress, big hair, plinth, RISER, pyro, fire.

It would be somewhere else is my understanding. Like the UK perhaps! We like subbing as a venue.

I believe the condition of entry was that one of the big five would host on their behalf (Hello Australia we are your Besties)

Obscure folk instrument ✅

My dog has a had a long day. Massive walk and went to be clipped which isn’t her favourite. Think she finds Eurovision a bit overwhelming. But she might be able to get behind a 28 second note being sung

There were rumours they had an arrangement with Spain. But presumably that’s now off.

They really need to sack tonight’s make up artist.

Would generally have been U.K. or Spain. But we already hosted for Ukraine and now Spain have pulled out so…….

Eek.

Consensus from my dog, is- that note was not worth the effort.

Ukraine are unfortunate to follow Delta tbf
