[Johnnyuk123]

Love this one.

[Johnnyuk123]

[Vanessa]

Wow! This is awesome! :amazed:

[T*]

[Denver]

I like this song at expect it to make final but then I feel it will be near the bottom in the final

[Johnnyuk123]

Wow! This is awesome! :amazed:

It really is Vanessa. So different and powerful.

[Jay.]

[Denver]

I hope the Azeri's fail to make it this year

[T*]

i can tell

because its so amazing?

[Calderyon]

1. Lithuania - Sounded spirited at first. But it was all over the place though. The pause at the beginning when they kissed was odd as hell. 2.05/5
2. Ireland - Very sensitive indeed. OK performance. 2.95/5
3. San Marino - Very world healing. Odd song and performance. I guess it was OK. It did get better and better as it progressed. 2.75/5
4. Montenegro - Folkish song. Started very calm, but it rised up nicely and kept going nicely. 3/5
5. Malta - Very nice. Good singing and the song was great. Liked it very much. Majestic performance overall. Easily the best of the night at this point. 4/5
6. Norway - Sounded nice and emotional at first. Second part was surprising. 2.95/5
7. Portugal - Kept together nicely. Uplifting song. 3.25/5
8. Czech Republic - Fine duet. Better than the Norway one. 3/5
9. Israel - Very enthusiastic, fun and spirited performance. Started calmed at first, but picked up very nicely. 3.15/5
10. Latvia - Very odd performance. Somewhat intriquing. Oddly majestic. 3/5

Ranking as of now:

1. Malta
2. Portugal
3. Israel
4. Latvia
5. Montenegro
6. Czech Republic
7. Norway
8. Ireland

shirtless Spike seems to have lost something

[Johnnyuk123]

Is that guy on stage crawling around looking for bog roll?:hehe:

[Vanessa]

Oh this actually sounds great. :bigsmile:

[T*]

he looks constipated

[Johnnyuk123]

On the finals night we would get more votes if the UK sent this song in again.
BLiL-tRxhkE

[Johnnyuk123]

Iceland's song is really good.

[Vanessa]

Avril Lavigne? :suspect:

[Jay.]

is this called singing

[Johnnyuk123]

On the studio version of this song it's much better. Tonight on the live version she is shouting the lyrics. Great song but no need to shout love.

[Denver]

The UK's flawless entry

[Johnnyuk123]

The UK's flawless entry

:joker::joker::joker:

[Denver]

This years winner on now :flutter:

[Johnnyuk123]

On Saturday when do the UK sing? Position wise? Anyone know???

[Calderyon]

OK, now let´s see the Sweden one everyone has been banging about.

[Vanessa]

:suspect: this is ok, but not great.

[Jay.]

first song i've actually really liked

[T*]

oh look a cheap avicii knock off

[Johnnyuk123]

That was a nice ballad.:hehe:

[Braden]

It's such an obvious winner, which is why i don't want it to win...but I can't deny how dreat it is, and the stagework is fantastic

[Denver]

That was a flawless performance :flutter:

[Shaun]

still waiting for anything as good as Tuesday's best 4 songs :/ (Estonia, Georgia, Serbia & Russia)

Switzerland have come closest so far.

[Johnnyuk123]

How many times have they used those trees in the background tonight?

Put the black labrador through!:joker::joker::joker:

[Johnnyuk123]

[Johnnyuk123]

Why do they all seem to have wax in their ears?

[Johnnyuk123]

Peter Andrea meets Specsavers.

[Vanessa]

I liked that.

[T*]

Yayy slovenia <3

[Johnnyuk123]

They wear headphones all the time but not condoms, hence two kids already.

[Braden]

Slovenian guy is hot :)

[Vanessa]

:unsure:

[Shaun]

she looks stupid and sounds worse.

[T*]

shaun dont you dare

[Jay.]

paloma faith?

[MB.]

(I think that was my favourite tonight?)

[Johnnyuk123]

Men all around the world do not want to rip her knickers off. They just want to rip those headphones off her head.:hehe:

[Braden]

That was underwhelming for a song I really really liked :(

[MB.]

Solo career you say?

[Vanessa]

Where are the uptempo songs? This is all so depressing. :bawling:

[Braden]

Footage of her when she wasn't disabled :laugh2:

[Shaun]

imagine if this was all an act and she started walking as if it were the magic of Eurovision that saved her

[Braden]

imagine if this was all an act and she started walking as if it were the magic of Eurovision that saved her

She's saving that for the final :joker:

[Johnnyuk123]

What happens if they give her a standing ovation?

[T*]

imagine if this was all an act and she started walking as if it were the magic of Eurovision that saved her

'EET A EUROVIZION MERACLE' *tumbles off stage*

[Johnnyuk123]

I'm trying to vote for Finland but there not having it.

[Jay.]

this has been trash, they've all been ballads, and there haven't been any weird entries. :bored:

[T*]

how the **** do you vote via app

[Johnnyuk123]

The contest this year is very open for me.

[Calderyon]

1. Lithuania - Sounded spirited at first. But it was all over the place though. The pause at the beginning when they kissed was odd as hell. 2.05/5
2. Ireland - Very sensitive indeed. OK performance. 2.95/5
3. San Marino - Very world healing. Odd song and performance. I guess it was OK. It did get better and better as it progressed. 2.75/5
4. Montenegro - Folkish song. Started very calm, but it rised up nicely and kept going nicely. 3/5

6. Norway - Sounded nice and emotional at first. Second part was surprising. 2.95/5
7. Portugal - Kept together nicely. Uplifting song. 3.25/5
8. Czech Republic - Fine duet. Better than the Norway one. 2.96/5
9. Israel - Very enthusiastic, fun and spirited performance. Started calmed at first, but picked up very nicely. 3.15/5
10. Latvia - Very odd performance. Somewhat intriquing. Oddly majestic. 3/5
11. Azerbaijan - Different kind of odd. I guess he sang good. The song was something that i have already heard before. Even tonight. 2.95/5
12. Iceland - Good performance. Cute girl. A ballad like almost everysong tonight and most of the songs on Eurovision in the last 10 years and more. 3.05/5
13. Sweden - Sounded very professional and good. OK, i admit this is sounds like the winner song this year. Still liked Malta better. 3.75/5
14. Switzerland - I liked this. From the girl fronted ballads this is one of the best tonight, i think. Fine performance. 3.25/5
15. Cyprus - Little calmer ballad than the ones before. Different than some of the ones tonight. Lovely song. 3.3/5
16. Slovenia - Little oddish tune and singing was odd too. Fine song in the end, i guess. Will be overpowered by the ones before. 2.97/5
17. Poland - To end the night, it´s surprise, surprise a ballad singing about love. Uplifting i think. I guess it was fine, but not something i have not heard before. 2.95/5

Final ranking for tonight:

1. Malta
2. Sweden
3. Cyprus
4. Portugal
5. Switzerland
6. Israel

Cute of Lithuania to have same-sex kisses for a country that isn't very pro-gay

[Braden]

[Johnnyuk123]

Stop hating on the UK it will get top 10 and UK #1 single the next week

No no and no.

[Calderyon]

I´m really sorry, but the UK song sounded terrible. Not our kind of terrible, but still terrible.

Will be happy to get to positions 18-23.

[T*]

Stop hating on the UK it will get top 10 and UK #1 single the next week

hating =/= common sense

[Vanessa]

It's hard to predict which song will do well. It's a bit of fun, so good luck everyone. :laugh:

[Benjamin]

Oop the 2nd year in a row Ireland have missed out on the finals. :laugh:

[Josiah.]

26. Albania
27. Italy

[Calderyon]

^ You have Serbia twice. I gather the other one is Sweden?

[Calderyon]

Yeah, the UK isn´t going to win with that number. But then again the song is pretty awful too so, they weren´t anyway.

Russia and Albania have a great chance at winning now, i think. While Sweden, hmm... I don´t know. That´s pretty early. Italy and Azerbaijan are going to do good, but no win for them. (But then again i have not heard Italy yet, so i don´t know)

The little i saw Spain, i think that´s going to do good too.

[Benjamin]

5th :laugh:

[Loukas]

Israel, Latvia & Sweden were my stand out performances of the second semi. Being Greek Cypriot i'm happy Cyprus made it to the final even if i think their song is boring :laugh:

Looking forward to the final on Saturday! :D

[Crimson Dynamo]

and after a huge Radio 2 poll the best ever Eurovision winner is..............................................


:umm2: this crap

[Benjamin]

Really? I can't even remember that one :umm2:

[Locke.]

and after a huge Radio 2 poll the best ever Eurovision winner is..............................................


:umm2: this crap


Fzp8XMTM94I

It's only fitting that Greece win the poll the day before they win the Contest once again

[Crimson Dynamo]

Really? I can't even remember that one :umm2:

I was waiting for a huge name and we get one that I genuinely cant remember. The vote was online so must have been fiddled I guess

[Loukas]

helena :flutter:

it was one of the best but i think the best was

Pfo-8z86x80

[Braden]

I'm surprised Helena won that poll, I remember voting for Dana International.

Did Ken announce the top 40(?) or did he just say the winner?

[Crimson Dynamo]

:nono: waterloo was best and the danish 2 men

Loreen was 3rd in the poll and the song is brilliant

[Crimson Dynamo]

I'm surprised Helena won that poll, I remember voting for Dana International.

Did Ken announce the top 40(?) or did he just say the winner?

He has been doing them all week and did the winner at 11.55 today

i was like :omgno: that cannot be number 1 and his voice echoed that

[Denver]

UK has a much harder task to win now and its not very good spot for Sweden either

[Crimson Dynamo]

iv been listening to radio 2 pop up eurovision station all day (since 12)

:fan:

[Denver]

and after a huge Radio 2 poll the best ever Eurovision winner is..............................................


:umm2: this crap


Fzp8XMTM94I

I love this song

[Black Dagger]

Perched for tonight.

Can't see past a Russia or Sweden win. I suspect that Australia and Belgium will seal a spot in the top 5 as well. Italy too.

[Braden]

I'll be surprised if Australia or Sweden don't win, although Sweden has been a bit too obvious from the beginning so I'd like to think it'll go to another country.

I swear Sweden were the favourite at this point last year as well?

[T*]

I don't think Sweden or Aus will in, i think it'll be Estonia

[T*]

There's even a google doodle for it :flutter:

[Calderyon]

Paddy Power has UK on 2/1 odds to finish last in the final.

[Calderyon]

And Italy, Sweden, Spain or Russia will win.

[Denver]

And Italy, Sweden, Spain or Russia will win.

If Russia wins im sure countries will pull out and many fans wont go

[Calderyon]

The Guardian thinks Armenia will win. Thoughts?

[Denver]

The Guardian thinks Armenia will win. Thoughts?

I love that song at they have been in the near the top twice and it will also be nice to get a new winner again

[T*]

The Guardian thinks Armenia will win. Thoughts?

what a load of ****

[T*]

armenia are the worst of the final

[Crimson Dynamo]

Perched for tonight.

Can't see past a Russia or Sweden win. I suspect that Australia and Belgium will seal a spot in the top 5 as well. Italy too.
:clap1:


Russia is the best :flutter: then Sweden

i hope people dont hate on russia politically

[Crimson Dynamo]

The Guardian thinks Armenia will win. Thoughts?

no

[Calderyon]

Politically Russia deserves much hate, but the performer on Eurovision (which is innocent) does not.

[GypsyGoth]

I hope Russia wins :lovedup:

[Crimson Dynamo]

I hope Russia wins :lovedup:

i cant wait it will be epic and its deffo the best song

[Shaun]

Think the top five will be Australia, Russia, Latvia, Sweden & Estonia. With Russia winning it.
