Eurovision 2017

[Headie]

Legend never dissed

[LukeB]

Yas :clap1:

Iceland and finland were robbed by Cyprus and Australia.

[Shaun]

8/10 of my top ten. That will do nicely.

RIP Finland and Montenegro </3

[Ross.]

She did that

[MB.]

If Blanche could get over her fear of being seen in public by Saturday then that'd be lovely

[Amy Jade]

Lol she was awful her vocals were shakier than a ****ting dog

[Ross.]

If Blanche could get over her fear of being seen in public by Saturday then that'd be lovely

:joker:

[EspeonBB]

Finland </3

My other faves got through though

[MB.]

If nothing else, we've culled a few ballads

[Shaun]

I suppose the fact very few of this 10 are female ballads could bode well for Our Lucie.

Should beat the Polish and Belgian ones.

[Denver]

So we now know Cyprus/Greece and Portugal/Spain will swap 12's

[MB.]

I suppose the fact very few of this 10 are female ballads could bode well for Our Lucie.

Should beat the Polish and Belgian ones.

/alternatively Europe have taken against female ballads in their masses and we're completely doomed

[MB.]

Lucie's taste in Eurovision entries <3

[Braden]

lmao at the host rubbing it in the losers faces:

"Let's take a look at the best, winning acts."

[Headie]

lJ6K-EvqccA

[Denver]

I honestly believe we will get in the top 10.

But then i was convinced Blue would win especially when we were top after 6 votes

[Jøsh]

Mess at the end card reading 1917

[MB.]

Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder

for anyone interested in tracking the progress of the songs.

Portugal are the winners so far

[Calderyon]

1st SF:

Sweden - Crap. Definitely not a fan. 1.5/5

Georgia - Good song and a solid performance. I liked it. 4/5

Australia - I guess it was kind of OK. Generic. 2.5/5

Albania - Quite epiccy. 3.5/5

Belgium - Singing was strange sounding and all over the place. 1.0/5

Montenegro - Just strange all over. The song was somewhat alright in terms of music, i guess. 1.75/5

Finland - I don´t know. Good singing, but the song is very boring and doesn´t have a lot of depth. 2.0/5

Azerbaijan - Quite strange performance. But it was interesting. 2.25/5

Portugal - Fine, i guess. The song had quite a calmy tone. 2.5/5

Greece - Singer is beautiful. The song sounded great and the performance was ace. 4.75/5

Poland - Very good song and performance. There was a bit of Saw sounding music at the end part of the song, i thing. 4/5

Moldova - I thought it was quite a spirited performance and it all went well i think. The song was quite good. 3.5/5

Iceland - Solid performance and the song sounded good. 3.75/5

Czech Republic - I think it was good and it stood out with the melody and overall performance. Like it. 4/5

Cyprus - Another strange sounding song. There were parts of it that i liked and there were parts that i didn´t. The performance was also kind of odd too. 2.5/5

Armenia - I liked this. Sounded great all over and the tone was interestingly Indianish. 4.5/5

Slovenia - The singer looked like one our former finnish singer back in the 50´s. I though the the song was epic. It sounded like it and the performance was cracking. I admit though that it sounded quite generic though. 4/5

Latvia - The performer looked quite hot. Interesting performance even though it was yet another strange one. 3/5

My top 10:

Greece
Armenia
Poland
Georgia
Czech Republic
Iceland
Slovenia
Moldova
Albania
Latvia

My bottom 8:

Bolded= Actual qualifiers

[Denver]

Portugal got 1st half so that are the top 2 faves in the 1st half

[Denver]

If Bulgaria get 2nd half on Thursday it will hand it them on a plate :fc:

[Shaun]

Sweden and Belgium the worst two? lol ok hun

[Calderyon]

Imo they were.

[Calderyon]

Although now that i think of it, maybe Montenegro was the worst one.

Both of them should have been out of the final 10 though.

[Shaun]

Some good news: Ruslana is performing in the second semi. Jamala does have another song in the final though.

[Nicky91]

Finland was robbed :bawling:


Belgium didn't deserve to go through :mad:

[Denver]

Lucie Jones queen of being #83 on Itunes

[Denver]

UK is now 6th favourite to win

[Nicky91]

congrats anyone if you like Portugal, with their qualification to the final :)

[Denver]

The UK is now 5th favourite

[Black Dagger]

Was banned last night so sadly wasn't here to drag Portugal's nonsense through the mud. Disgusting that he will probably win and be at least top 5 if not.

[Nicky91]

nice that Portugal qualified, but i would really prefer a Italy win or even a Romania win, if they make the final tomorrow :)

[Firewire]

Portugal is ****ing ****e.

[LukeB]

It would be awful if Portugal won.

[T*]

It wouldn't though
It's a nice song

[Calderyon]

Portugal is OK, but not winner material really.

[Greg!]

Portugal's song sounds like something that would come third in like 1959, and the singer is annoying. This is confirmed.

[Black Dagger]

It wouldn't though
It's a nice song

It's not.

[EspeonBB]

I was never a fan of Portugal but the performance yesterday was nice

I would prefer Italy to win though

[Denver]

Italy winning would be a travesty

[Black Dagger]

It wouldn't

[Calderyon]

Italy´s song didn´t look or sound that special. Have to listen better in the final.

[Nicky91]

Blackbird was so robbed, i feel so bad for you Cald :bawling:

[T*]

PORTUGAL WAS FINE
it's a pretty song

[Shaun]

Portugal >>>>>>>>>>> Italy confirmed

[Amy Jade]

I haven't heard Portugal but it wouldn't take much to be better than Italy.

I don't get the hype at all.

[jet]

I was never a fan of Portugal but the performance yesterday was nice

I would prefer Italy to win though

My top 2. :hee:
Either of them winning would please me.

[jet]

Finland was robbed :bawling:


Belgium didn't deserve to go through :mad:

Yep.

[Ross.]

Everyone will be left slayed after France's performance!

[jet]

Everyone will be left slayed after France's performance!

Very good song...and the girl is very attractive...:hee:

[Denver]

Everyone will be left slayed after France's performance!

It wont get top 25

[Black Dagger]

lmao. ok

[Denver]

There is literally nothing good about it

[Ross.]

So anyway

[EspeonBB]

Everyone will be left slayed after France's performance!

Ready for talent to win on Saturday!

[Black Dagger]

It's beating Germany and Spain just of the big 5 alone.

[Ross.]

Ready for talent to win on Saturday!

It's beating Germany and Spain just of the big 5 alone.

:clap1:

[Denver]

The UK is finishing top 5 and thats that on that

[Black Dagger]

(although ngl I don't particular care for it, lmao at thinking it will be nearly last though)

[EspeonBB]

Yeah I think Germany and Spain will be fighting for last place

[Black Dagger]

And we're all setting ourselves up for a fall with the UK. She'll be about 18th (as much as I wish her to do well)

[Ross.]

(although ngl I don't particular care for it, lmao at thinking it will be nearly last though)

It's a bop!

[Denver]

She is gaining momentum at the right time and is close to breaking in the top 4 with the bookies.

She will come top 3 with the jury just the public vote worries me

[ArgyESC]

I voted for Azerbaijan and they made it, yaaaaaasssss!

[Denver]

ON NOW

[Shaun]

Will post in this one but think we should probs have a separate thread for the final

[Denver]

Will post in this one but think we should probs have a separate thread for the final

Yea i think not many forum members will watch the Semi's and most will watch the final

[Denver]

Here for Bulgaria to leave me bald

[Shaun]

I'm going to end up following piccolo man on Instagram before the week is out, I just know it.

[MB.]

o...kay

[Braden]

Ugh, why do I love the suits?

[Denver]

Is it just me or is the sound keep cutting out?

[Shaun]

I hope they do a bit of Sertab Erener

[Shaun]

Yeah I've had to switch over to the standard channel, the HD channel is being skippy af

[MB.]

Dana International please :fc:

[Braden]

I'm living tbh.

[_Tom_]

Lithuania followed by Estonia. What an iconic running order.

[Denver]

This is a rip off of a popular song but cant remember which one

[Shaun]

Perfectly nice. Not terribly memorable though.

[EspeonBB]

I think Serbia will be forgotten

[LukeB]

What was that vocal.

[Shaun]

I guess nobody told the hottie about the epilepsy warnings.

[Denver]

This guy is hot

[MB.]

That classic Austrian name, Nathan Trent

[MB.]

So I already detest this

[Denver]

Austria has fallen so badly since 2014

[Denver]

I hate autocorrect

[Shaun]

Nicest staging so far. But yes meh.

[Denver]

Not a vocal worse then Sweden

[Denver]

Oh she is pregnant

[Denver]

We know she is going through before she started

[Shaun]

this is already outstanding

[_Tom_]

This should qualify for the song alone.

[Denver]

This is in my top 10 now tbh

[Ross.]

Oh hello winner

[MB.]

It's no DONA DONA DONA but it'll do

[EspeonBB]

Yas Macedonian queen

[Shaun]

The second greatest song about dancing on one's own of all time

[LukeB]

This better get through! it's a bop

[Braden]

I thought that was ****? :worry:

[MB.]

Cassandra Shahinfar :love:

[Denver]

[Denver]

Malta is crap

[MB.]

I can hear her breathing, Liza Minnelli, LIES

[Shaun]

She has a nice voice but that's about it. Worst so far by default </3

[LukeB]

Ross's winner because she looks like Cassandra?

[MB.]

Somebody hide Nicky

If Nicky's still a thing idk

[Denver]

Romania is awesome tbh

[Greg!]

I hope she qualifies! The gal tried to represent her country 10 times. How SAD if she didn't go through

[Braden]

[Braden]

The yodelling is out of tune af, but Nicky has been vindicated because this is a bop.

[Shaun]

I am in love.

[MB.]

I'm here for her apparent coffee addiction

[Denver]

This is like the best song from both semi's so far

[Ross.]

Okay I'm sold I love it

[Amy Jade]

I love the yodel song

[EspeonBB]

Romania did that

I'm tragic for not checking :joker:

[Amy Jade]

[_Tom_]

Those harmonies though.

[LukeB]

I quite like this!

[_Tom_]

Little Mix hew?

[Ross.]

Sing it gals :clap1:

[Braden]

This is semi-final is already so much better than the first one.

[MB.]

I mean, yeah, Hold On is a classic of our time, so I feel that I have to have liked that at least a little bit

[EspeonBB]

Omg the vocals
http://p.fod4.com/p/media/9fd5695d65/HCoHEAV5RmQrwdJPLfNR_Aretha%20Franklin%20Wig%20Rem ove.gif

[Shaun]

Very good set of songs so far. Only 2 I'm "meh" about and even then I liked the Netherlands.

[Braden]

Where's Verka?

[MB.]

This is semi-final is already so much better than the first one.

I've a strange feeling this semi is going to be very front-loaded

That's what he said etc etc

[Denver]

Hate these skits

[Shaun]

I am shook at the male presenters doing suit changes

[LukeB]

I'm going to miss Mel on GBBO </3

[Denver]

I dont like Hungary

[Braden]

I've a strange feeling this semi is going to be very front-loaded

That's what he said etc etc

Oh :worry:

I'll be loving life if Romania and Netherlands make it because the others are ****, though.

[MB.]

When you have Eurovision at 8 and bullfighting at 9

[Shaun]

It sounds like he's listening his favourite yoghurt brands. Mullermullermuller indeed

[MB.]

Oh :worry:

I'll be loving life if Romania and Netherlands make it because the others are ****, though.

(I don't actually know what else is on tonight, I just have very low expectations and can't imagine them keeping up this standard for 11 more performances)

[Denver]

If this makes it i give up

[MB.]

Imagine somehow making fire boring

[LukeB]

this is a bit basic.

[Amy Jade]

This is terrible

[Greg!]

This is so good!

[Denver]

(I don't actually know what else is on tonight, I just have very low expectations and can't imagine them keeping up this standard for 11 more performances)

Bulgaria and Ireland will slay

[Braden]

Oh she raps?

[Shaun]

This is no Kedvesem, that's for sure

[EspeonBB]

I like Hungary but I usually like the ethnic entries

[Denver]

This is no Kedvesem, that's for sure

You mean Kati Wolf?

[Braden]

I liked it at the beginning then it got a bit ****ty :(

[Shaun]

Denmark's is excellent

[Amy Jade]

Omg it is Annika Rice lol

[_Tom_]

Anja's come to slay!!!

[MB.]

Denmark's entry being unable to speak Danish <3<3<3

[Denver]

Do not care for this

[_Tom_]

I see her red dress is back from the dry cleaners

[Amy Jade]

Not impressed

[Braden]

No Danish act will surpass:

[Braden]

Did that guy draw a gap in his teeth because she had one? :joker:

[Black Dagger]

I actually want to punch him in the throat.

[LukeB]

is he on helium?

[Amy Jade]

If i couldn't see him I would think this was a woman singing

[Greg!]

I love Alvin and the chipmunks

[Denver]

me right now

https://media0.giphy.com/media/mEyQqATu2miWY/giphy.gif

[MB.]

The sad thing is that he'd only have to sing in tune and he'd already be better than last year's entry

(this is still terrible btw)

[LukeB]

I love Alvin and the chipmunks

:joker:

[Ross.]

His voice is so strange welp

[EspeonBB]

Ireland ruining the streak of good songs like this :(

[Greg!]

This is trash. NEXT.

[Ross.]

I love Alvin and the chipmunks

:joker:

[Braden]

KIStHUrG_UQ

This guy has came so far from X Factor.

[LukeB]

This is terrible. dull and doesn't go anywhere.

[Shaun]

Me at Shaun's OTT love for this

https://media.giphy.com/media/4oReDWVeq1hDO/giphy.gif

you're not allowed to speak until you explain what fresh hell your country have sent.

[Amy Jade]

Christ this is horrific :laugh2:

[Ross.]

I'm leaving bye

[Denver]

He getting top 10 on Sat for sure

[Greg!]

This is a rejected X Factor winners' single circa 2004

[MB.]

All I deduced from that is that this kid's rooting for Peppermint on Drag Race

[Braden]

Scott interrupting this time :joker:

[EspeonBB]

To think Ireland won the contest 7 times

A BB sized decline

[Denver]

To think Ireland won the contest 7 times

Valentina Monetta <3<3<3

[Ross.]

Bring back the Macedonia gal

[Shaun]

my favourite Valentina

[Braden]

Was San Marino's postcard filmed in Amsterdam? :joker:

[EspeonBB]

Lmfao Valentina <3333

[Amy Jade]

I like her for trying so much <3

[Denver]

I love Estonia's Eurovision winner Dave Benton

[MB.]

She deserves to get through based on "The Social Network Song (OH OH - Uh - OH OH)" alone

[Shaun]

this chemistry is too much

[Braden]

Valentina is going to be the Donald Trump of Eurovision. She's gong to constantly compete until she eventually wins by proxy under a different country.

[EspeonBB]

This is a hot mess <3

[Ross.]

I love me and MB on a Saturday night

[MB.]

I love me and MB on a Saturday night

tbh

[Shaun]

she's even laughing at her own song

[Braden]

I love Andy Abraham competing for Eurovision circa 2008.

[Greg!]

Lmao this is such a mess :joker:

[Amy Jade]

A seasoned entertainer involving the audience :clap1:

[Denver]

Thats not going through

[Amy Jade]

Rag n bone man

[MB.]

I can only assume that the spirit of the night is Absolut Berri Acai

[Denver]

This is gonna be a weird performance

[Denver]

Not them digging his weight

[Greg!]

She deserves to get through based on "The Social Network Song (OH OH - Uh - OH OH)" alone

[Greg!]

Oh my god what the **** is this

[Braden]

Here for the monologue.

[Shaun]

96% sure this chap's been in Will's avatar at some point

[Greg!]

I'm cackling vxsvzc

[MB.]

l m f a o

what in the fresh hell is this <3

[Shaun]

omfg his face on the screen

[Amy Jade]

Not them digging his weight

Pretty sure they meant it because of his vocals changing from pop to opera...

[Denver]

This remind me of that guy who did BGT

[Greg!]

They need to rig the semi finals to keep the messy ones in until the end

[Ross.]

This is so bad it has to qualify

[MB.]

btw apparently this guy was jailed for threatening to kill a journalist and he's hella homophobic

But I'm guessing that's not what that song was about
