Eurovision 2018 thread

[The Grinch]

She is a judge and her act she was mentoring won :laugh:

Oh right lol, sorry.

[Morgan.]

I can see SuRie getting between 13th and 17th just depending on the circumstances.

[Morgan.]

Matt's xmas song was kinda a bop tho

Nah it was terrible. And I usually like songs Ed Sheeran writes (controversially) but that was terrible.

[LukeB]

I can see SuRie getting between 13th and 17th just depending on the circumstances.

I predict 22nd

[Denver]

We are gonna perform 1st half i reckon no chance us getting 2nd half 5th year in a row

[Denver]

Lithuania has come out of nowhere to be one of the faves to win

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Saara's recent album went to #2 in finland (1 in sales)


]

:laugh2:

[Calderyon]

Surely Saara is going to get 12/10 points from UK?

[Denver]

Surely Saara is going to get 12/10 points from UK?

Cyprus is getting our 10

[The Grinch]

I voted for a few tonight.

[Denver]

Lithuania could take it?

They are 5th favourite and have the Eastern European and British/Irish votes

[Headie]

Lithuania has come out of nowhere to be one of the faves to win

Good job I got them @ 100/1 then :clap1:

[Headie]

UK have drawn first half so last place is confirmed :eyes:

[Denver]

UK have drawn first half so last place is confirmed :eyes:
Should easily finish above atleast 3 or 4 countries

[EspeonBB]

UK have drawn first half so last place is confirmed :eyes:

Yeah I think we're finishing last :skull: All of the last places have been automatic qualifiers in recent years and all of the automatic qualifiers this year are stronger than Surie

[Denver]

screaming at 5 of the 6 automatic qualifiers in the 1st half

[Denver]

BTW Liechtenstein will debut next year

[Headie]

Yeah I think we're finishing last :skull: All of the last places have been automatic qualifiers in recent years and all of the automatic qualifiers this year are stronger than Surie

I honestly couldn't care less about our entry this year, it's so uninspiring :laugh: I'd be far more excited had we sent one of the uptempo ones like Legends (which was an amazing song but sadly weak vocals), Crazy or Feel The Love, but if we were ever gonna draw first half then I'm glad this is the year we've finally drawn it after a long run of second halves, as the song is never making Top 15 anyway.

[Black Dagger]

I have to endure Lithuania two more times live and I want to die.

[Headie]

Cyprus, Czech and Israel just drew 2nd Half so one of them will probably win (Saara drew 2nd half too :love:)

Lithuania and Estonia drew 1st </3

[Firewire]

Good, Lithuania is boring af. Put her on first, out of the way.

[Denver]

I think Cyprus has it

[Headie]

Good, Lithuania is boring af. Put her on first, out of the way.

Well I liked it!

I'm not sure they will win it tbh.

Its just because it has no competition in Semi 2

Israel is disastrously crap live :joker: :joker: :joker:


undeservedly through to final, while Armenia and Greece had lovelier songs :mad: :fist:

Totally wrong. She had an amazing performance last night, full of quirky energy unlike the tired over rehearsed and ungenuine performance by serial loser Saara alto who clunked around the stage like an injured Stegosaurus

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Ireland was woeful, cynical and insincere

Cyprus reminded me a little of Shakira

[Nicky91]

WTF, Netta only has a vocal show off performance, not a song

i rightfully gave it a 0/10, i only did that once before in 2010 for Serbia's Milan Stankovic with Ovo Je Balkan, which i also hated

Saara had a good solid stunning performance, that wheel thing reminded me of AHS Freak show :dance:

Ireland was woeful, cynical and insincere

Cyprus reminded me a little of Shakira

Ireland was beautiful, a typical ballad we're used to from the irish, lovely performance as well, same dancers from the music video :love:

Cyprus is a Beyonce tribute act :hehe:

this is the darkest esc moment for me in 18 yrs of me being a loyal esc fan seeing this israeli joke trash qualify

[Christmas Dynasnow]

You just dont understand it Nicky, dont worry about it

[ChristmasNeeve]

Ireland was woeful, cynical and insincere

Cyprus reminded me a little of Shakira

I really liked his voice when he sang lower, the really high bits sound s**t

[Nicky91]

You just dont understand it Nicky, dont worry about it

what do i not understand, they should cancel eurovision if israel wins


cause then eurovision's reputation is destroyed, if they let a joke act win

Go apply to be a mod if you want to moderate the forum, if not leave the modding to the mods and the personal insults to another forum as rule breaking I seem to remember from a previous thread is something you are against...


:idc:

[Amy Jade]

I don't follow much until the semis to be honest so I have no idea who was up for it with her but I genuinely don't get the hype for her at all.

Scooch we way better as novelty goes and the song was fun and had a cute message and we got **** on...not a few years later a woman clucking like a chicken is a favourite? I just don't get it. Hope she doesn't win.

[Morgan.]

Nicky music is subjective so you have your right to opinion about Netta but imo she is everything Eurovision stands for; fun, entertaining and a party starter. As a Eurovision fan you should understand it's not always the best act that wins but whatever does represents what Eurovision is about. Appreciating music from all around the world.

last year we had a gorilla who was a fave for a very long time and he didn't win, so i can see Netta flopping still, but maybe her troll fans wanted some fun act in the final that might be the only reason, i cannot think of juries having scored her high points

What did I say that was personally offensive? I simply called you out on the things you do every series of BB, CBB, Eurovision and X Factor. You attack women for their weight no matter how slim they are and you miraculously hate anyone LGBT...it's simply an observation.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

She looks like a fat Amanda Bynes and I am here for it!

:fist: :fist: i would've thought you liking Albania, same sort of music style what you like

''she is everything eurovision stands for'' :yuk: not for me, eurovision for me is different cultures, beautiful languages around europe, good quality music

Portugal winning last year had opened my eyes to look and listen more at song quality, good music quality

why are her fans trolls?

well i would only accept it if they wanted israel in the final for fun, but in the final i want the best quality song to win, and for me that are Estonia, Bulgaria, Austria, Italy

I enjoyed yesterday. Overall, not bad.
My uptempto faves are Israel and Finland. Ballads: loved Lithuania and thought Ireland was sweet. The staging made sense as the singer is gay.
But sorry, not keen on Cyprus.

Cyprus has that sort of eastern beat that will appeal to the more eastern and southern continental Europe, dont think its quite a winner tho

you're welcome, and i didn't want to argue in the first place on here tbh


i only said i didn't like israel's performance last night


if Netta wants to redeem herself with me, work on the live singing i think


but i can see her doing a Gabbani, more like 6th or just outside top 10 on saturday

[Denver]

Netta had the crowd eating from the palm of their hands lol.

We went mental.

What was the reaction for Cyprus? was she the favourite with fans? I really hope she wins

[Twosugars]

I wasn't having a go at you, Nicky! I love a good argument.
Besides, keeping Trumpet on his toes is always a good idea

song sounds like bon jovi, bryan adams, with average awkward wannabe backstreet boys dancing which doesn't belong with country rock music at all :hehe:


Moldova is good fun, DoReDos are good live singers too, i can see them qualify in this semi, their songwriter Kirkorov also produced Shady Lady for Ukraine - Ani Lorak which had gotten her to 3rd place :D


Russia, well i feel sorry for Julia she's being used for sympathy, her song is decent i think, she'll be a mountain on stage with 2 dancers and 3 backing vocalists

Rybak still looking cute

i only watched the first rehearsals, not to be spoiled completely


Rybak using AR technology in his performance



San Marino, even they aren't completely hopeless i think, song is similar to Mans's Heroes in the chorus, the singer is Jessika from Malta, and rapper is Jenny B (Jenifer Brening) from Germany

[Twosugars]

liking Australia - good Eurovis fare
Poland - catchy

[Twosugars]

lol, Hungary's metal, I like it

[Nicky91]

liking Australia - good Eurovis fare

first song i actually loved from Poland tbh, my fave this year and i will vote for them tomorrow night


such a feel good song, and Gromee's snake arm dance move is quite funny


Australia (they are not having Lee Lin Chin as their spokesperson this year sadly) but it's Ricardo Goncalves who will reveal the points from their behalf in the final

my dad did, but i thought it was too gimmicky and lacking some good singing


my fave last year was Yodel It, mostly bc of Ilinca's phenomenal yodelling skills and everything came together perfectly in the performance staging and song wise :love:

tbf that Polish songs was total shi*te

Yodel It? don't remember, will check it out; last year I downloaded the full set of Eurovision songs from the beginning of the contest up to 2017.

[Denver]

Can you spoiler that stupid picture please

[Calderyon]

Israel was wtf cringe fest and Czechs song was one of the worst ones ever.

And yet they are both favorites? :worry:

Israel was wtf cringe and Czechs song was one of the worst ones ever.

I do know. Neither of those were. Good ones, I mean.

i was laughing so much to Aisel's performance, how she was randomly running on her own at first :laugh2:

and yeah i did understand that sometimes you can lift your performance with a bit of acting

[Twosugars]

my dad did, but i thought it was too gimmicky and lacking some good singing


my fave last year was Yodel It, mostly bc of Ilinca's phenomenal yodelling skills and everything came together perfectly in the performance staging and song wise :love:

yup, found it, yes it was something

my fave last year was Blanche/Belgium/City Lights

[Nicky91]

yup, found it, yes it was something

my fave last year was Blanche/Belgium/City Lights

Blanche was awful in the semi final, but she recovered nicely for the final

[Calderyon]

I gave Israel 1.5 out of 5 and Czech Republic 0.5 out of 5.

[Firewire]

Then you have no taste

[The Grinch]

I loved Israel Nicky, she had it going on. Sara was good too, her spin wheel was amazing. I also loved Czech, good on them for sending a worthy song I say.

I gave Israel 1.5 out of 5 and Czech Republic 0.5 out of 5.

Yes but you've proved you have dodgy taste gurl!

[Calderyon]

I got only 5 out of 10 of my list to the final.

I'm afraid Lucas has a knack for hating the clear winner that 100% deserves it (look at poor Salvador, the best song of last year by a mile!) so we're in for a Norway or Sweden win this year.

Of the two I prefer Sweden a lot more.

Cyprus is OK but its too basic to win. Take the thin girl away and what?

[The Grinch]

Cyprus is OK but its too basic to win. Take the thin girl away and what?

No singer.

[Wizard.]

Yeah the song isn’t the best but everyone can see she gives her all and pours her soul out on stage you can hear it when she takes that huge breath at the end you don’t realise how hard it is to perform like that and I think the viewers recognise her hard work and that’s why she’s the fav

[Jamie89]

Italy's song is incredible :love: It reminds me a lot of Italy's from 2016 actually which was my favourite that year too funnily enough.

I also quite like the ones from France / Estonia / Czech Republic / Portugal / Latvia / Serbia / Slovenia, but generally I don't think the standard is very high tbh. (The only one I've watched in full though is 2016 so I'm not really sure how these songs compare to other years.)

[Nicky91]

it is far from basic, and far better than Netta who needs that show (take the show away from Netta and then what, she's nothing)


awkward when songs need to be lifted by staging, and gimmicks


that shows how weak the song is :fan:

[TwentyOneThrones]

Nettas song is fun. My fave to win so far

[Nicky91]

Jerusalem has a bigger arena than Tel Aviv i think if Israel wins


so as for hosting i would choose Jerusalem


#Jerusalem2019 :dance:

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Nettas song is fun. My fave to win so far

what do you think of Norway?

[Nicky91]

safer option to host would be Tel Aviv i think, also a good way to promote tel aviv for tourism

[TwentyOneThrones]

what do you think of Norway?

I'm kinda iffy on that one. I think it's a tad too cheesy...

[Morgan.]

what do you think of Norway?

LIKE it - It’s Alexander Rybak right?

[Christmas Dynasnow]

LIKE it - It’s Alexander Rybak right?

The violinist, yes

The problem is he has no opinion he is just going by what other forums are saying and then regurgitating them on here and then changing them to "try and be popular"

sorry, but Lucas and LT really hurt me, by saying i have no good music taste


i am so damn insecure :sad:


i know Netta is a fun act, but she should only win if her live singing is perfect, which it clearly wasn't in her semi final performance

[Twosugars]

Nicky, don't try to please everyone, it's impossible, just be your fun self

[Twosugars]

second semifinal day :dance:

[Nicky91]

Nicky, don't try to please everyone, it's impossible, just be your fun self

[LukeB]

i know Netta is a fun act, but she should only win if her live singing is perfect, which it clearly wasn't in her semi final performance

Her vocals were amazing live though, not a bad note came from her mouth.

[Denver]

Moldova is one to watch out for they are climbing the odds and proved last year they can score big in Televoting

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Its a good song, very eastern with the "hey, hey hey" background and the girl is stunning. SHould be right up there with a good show on Sat

[Twosugars]

Moldova is enjoyable.

[Nicky91]

Oh she ain't a vocal powerhouse or anything lol but the vocals are good. The crowd are into it regardless!

[Black Dagger]

Looking forward to Australia x

Anyone to look forward to tonight?

I am because i forgot what all of these songs are i only know Australia

[Shaun]

Rylan needs to replace Scott next year and get Ana Matronic back, 100%.

Scott Mills has no charisma and the fact he's still in the biggest BBC jobs is baffling.

[Denver]

Anyone to look forward to tonight?

Moldova/Latvia/San Marino

[Amy Jade]

Why no votes for us?

Thank god Saara was on yesterday I would have flipped

[LukeB]

Does anyone think 4 hosts works or too much?

[Amy Jade]

Rylan needs to replace Scott next year and get Ana Matronic back, 100%.

I thought Scott was quite rude yesterday too.

[Shaun]

Norway on first :omgno: (I know they're 100% qualifying but still... Azerbaijan didn't...)

[Denver]

I think they were desperate to have 3 gay hosts tbh

[Denver]

Alexander is fit as **** though

[Adamw92]

Moldova/Latvia/San Marino

Thank you :)

[Samm]

omg this STUD I didn't know you could enter again even if you win mess

[LukeB]

Fairytale >

[Shaun]

An absolute bop incoming

and @Samm even Loreen tried to represent Sweden again last year or the year before, I think

Johnny Logan won 3 times for Ireland IIRC?

[Denver]

omg this STUD I didn't know you could enter again even if you win mess

Poor Johnny Logan winning twice being forgotten

[Shaun]

Poor Johnny Logan winning twice being forgotten

Oh just the 2? Flop!

Technically although one was as a writer

[Amy Jade]

This is quite poor. I expected it to be pretty good.

The CGI is cringe too

[Adamw92]

Next...

[Denver]

It just doesn't feel like a winning song?

[Samm]

maybe if loreen entered crying out your name she would of had a chance, I still listen to heal occasionally

[Shaun]

yeah Cyprus (and I would argue, Israel) has this beat IMO

[Shaun]

*Salvador argues vehemently behind the scenes with the title of this song*

[Amy Jade]

S Club 7 and the Spice Girls did goodbye better

[Shaun]

OK this isn't at all creepy

[Denver]

Loving this

[Adamw92]

I don't even have words for how much I don't like this

[Samm]

this snaps

[Shaun]

The sort of thing that would make an Evanescence comeback album... as a bonus track.

[EspeonBB]

yeah Cyprus (and I would argue, Israel) has this beat IMO

Spoiler: I don't think anything is as good as Cyprus or Israel in this semi final

[Samm]

aaa give me this madonna isaac masterpiece

http://i.imgur.com/6SlXEf0.gif

[Amy Jade]

That was a chore.

[Shaun]

I was thinking the first semi-final had a distinct lack of the throat-singing we usually get.

[Denver]

San Marino are cute

[Shaun]

we're never going to do well with Scott making bitchy and childish remarks about every single country :idc: bitter old queen

[Denver]

We love this years 4th place queens

[Amy Jade]

This is the best so far but that's not hard...

[Adamw92]

This is cute but no where near as good as half of the entries from semi-final 1

[Shaun]

Well this has no chance.

[Amy Jade]

Jesus :laugh:

[Denver]

Screaming at Israel and France overtaing Norway in the odds and Lithuania close to overtaking them

[Denver]

We love a GOT song

[Adamw92]

Ugh, that mess of a song from Norway is favourite to qualify tonight? really?

[Shaun]

Weirdly liked that Danish one :worry:

[Amy Jade]

She's so pretty

[Samm]

isn't she this chick?
