[Nicky91]

On first listen my early faves are Finland, Malta and Azerbaijan

thank you for liking my favourite Malta :)



i think you'll like the staging, and they have got a good draw, and i'll be voting for them :)

[Headie]

do Joe & Jake perform during the first or second semi?

Second (same one the UK vote in I think)

[Tarryn]

Second (same one the UK vote in I think)

I thought the UK just went through to the final as one of the big 5 ?.

[_Tom_]

I thought the UK just went through to the final as one of the big 5 ?.

We still do, but the Big 5 get to perform their songs in the semis for exposure.

[T*]

I thought the UK just went through to the final as one of the big 5 ?.

We do, this is just a chance for our act to be seen so it's fair

[EspeonBB]

Perched for tonight

I'm praying Armenia and Czech Rep get through

[Tarryn]

We do, this is just a chance for our act to be seen so it's fair

Gotcha. If we had to qualify we would kiss goodbye to the final :fist:

[zakman440]

On BBC Four NOW!

[Jay28jay2]

He's changed this song and performance... I don't like it at all.

[T*]

Yaaaaaas

[T*]

Ew children

[Jay28jay2]

:umm2:

[Black Dagger]

I am devastated I'm missing out on this.

Back to work I go </3

[Calderyon]

Wow. This version of the song (last years winner) sounds absolutely awful.

Works much better as a fast paced rally like it was supposed to.

[zakman440]

Rather good orchestral version of Heroes :clap1:

[Calderyon]

Didn´t like that.

[Vanessa]

:amazed:

[Jordan.]

The only time BBC4 has been useful

https://media1.giphy.com/media/aZeEGctyLYT8A/200.gif

[EspeonBB]

Queen Petra <3

[zakman440]

Petra :cheer2:

Mans - meh

[Calderyon]

Don´t remember Petra. She seems fair enough though.

[Calderyon]

I do wish i could mute these presenters though.

[Firewire]

****ing love Petra

[zakman440]

"Do you think the people who were watching Insect World on BBC4 have switched off yet?"

"No - they love Eurovision"

:laugh2:

[Babayaro.]

Is this where the final will be held?

[Babayaro.]

Like that exact venue

[Headie]

This is my first time listening to all the songs tbh

This poor Finland girl can't sing in tune </3

[LukeB]

this terrible

[T*]

The only time BBC4 has been useful

https://media1.giphy.com/media/aZeEGctyLYT8A/200.gif

The fact they were showing 'insect world' before this shows it

[Samm]

poor ha she sucks

[Firewire]

Like that exact venue

Yeah

[Firewire]

Lesbian Alicia Keys?

[Jordan.]

[T*]

She's cute and she's enjoying herself but she can't sing

[Johnnyuk123]

Love the semi finals of Eurovision. :dance::dance::dance:

[Ross.]

[EspeonBB]

This is a hot mess

[zakman440]

Nice but the "brap brap" ruins it.

[_Tom_]

Finland :clap1:

[Johnnyuk123]

Not bad but at least she got to show off her baby bump.

[Calderyon]

I now understand all of the criticism that our song has received.

[T*]

OH DEAR GOD

[Ross.]

[Headie]

Nnn the rapping

[Jordan.]

I love opera-hop

[Firewire]

[Samm]

Russia's performance looked like a copy cat of last years winner

[zakman440]

That was okay but the staging, lighting, camerawork and the random inverts were not good.

[Jordan.]

Russia was overrated

[Johnnyuk123]

Aww she's pretty.
