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.

That's it- it's almost identical in parts.

Thank you, it would have driven me mad!

Definitely Keeping Your Head Up by Birdy!!

It’s very boring. Next.

Some countries have resolutely always sung in their own language.

Ha ha

Well he's a nice young lad in a blue shirt and thats about as interesting as this song seems to be.

Dullsville.

Well, that one didn't hold my interest at all.

His shirt doesn't look ironed.

My DPs are in Prague atm! As such I was hoping for something a bit more wow but that wasn’t it

It's big bird's aunty.

He looks like his just finished a shift in a shop and decided to do this.
The male presenter is weird.

There's a thing in Czechia called Czech Point where you can do admin stuff needed as a citizen.

Jeez, I need new glasses. I read “dressed as a chicken”.

Full 5th Element Diva Plavalaguna

She looks like one of those figures that twirl around in a music box

More opera stylee squawking.

Nice white loo roll cover dress.

Mon dieu!! At least this French woman has a lovely tone. Her operatic voice is vastly preferable to the Romanian woman, at least to my ears.

Don’t usually like France’s offerings but I quite like this. Certainly one of the better soloists so far. Like the outfit too

Not keen on this one either.

That skirt is coming off in a sec, surely. Drink!

Best singer so far tonight

Seems popular.

Such a missed opportunity.

I preferred the French video. The live performance hasn't actually done much for me. Its a little disappointing tbh.

Better staging than last year where there was an unfortunate graphic that looked like explosive diarrhoea.
