Tragic! they should have had him popping up in the doors and shouting or something </3

[Shaun]

[Greg!]

I'm watching on delay and I'm SCREAMING at how scathing Scott Mills was about Norway's song

[Denver]

Perched for the Nicky meltdown when he qualifies

[Amy Jade]

Who was the hillbilly bloke who sang Rockstar...

[EspeonBB]

Norway have gone from 5/1 to 14/1 oops

It's what they deserve

[Shaun]

The Common Linnets were wonderful.

This is not.

[Wizard.]

Country should stay in America where it belongs

Not sure if Australia would get through without U.K. votes

[Adamw92]

Poor older guy being let go </3

[Denver]

Georgia screams 12 points from the UK again

[Shaun]

She got Lucky being in this semi had she been in the 1st one she would be out

She's only 9th in the odds out of tonight's semifinalists and not much further ahead of Russia/Malta/Latvia/Georgia :eyes:

I would 100% say Russia will qualify safer than her, sadly

[Shaun]

Rylan the Intern :lovedup:

Scott in a soap opera :yuk:

[Adamw92]

Imagine Norway winning with that awful song

[EspeonBB]

I really hope Rylan does the semi finals alone next year (or maybe bring back Mel with him). He's been great

[Shaun]

Doctor Eurovision going out on a limb and saying San Marino won't qualify... :omgno: surely not. Nonce

[Amy Jade]

Imagine Norway winning with that awful song

They do say things happen in threes so it'd be the third terrible winner in a row

[Denver]

I really hope Rylan does the semi finals alone next year (or maybe bring back Mel with him). He's been great

I hope he performs for us

[Amy Jade]

I really hope Rylan does the semi finals alone next year (or maybe bring back Mel with him). He's been great

Right?

He seems genuinely excited to be there and it goes a long way for me.

[Adamw92]

Fly baby, flyyyyy....

[Wizard.]

Gutted for Malta

[Shaun]

Malta were robbed!

[Denver]

[Amy Jade]

Australia is so damn good going to dl that

[Wizard.]

Is Norway really gonna win?

[Amy Jade]

Is Norway really gonna win?

The song is awful i really hope not!

[Wizard.]

My top 3 for the final:

Estonia
Cyprus
Australia

[Denver]

Is Norway really gonna win?

After dropping from 5/1 to 16/1 not a chance

[Amy Jade]

Rooting for Cyprus, Finland and Australia saturday!

[EspeonBB]

I think Ukraine are the only country who have a 100% qualification record now :love:

[Calderyon]

Watched the show. Much better range in quality in terms of performances and songs than in SF1. The presenting of the show was even better than on SF1.

Actually had a lot of trouble making a top 10.

My top 10 was:

1. Norway
2. Malta
3. San Marino
4. Romania
5. Latvia
6. Moldova
7. Russia
8. Serbia
9. Slovenia
10. Montenegro

Still 21 minutes behind...

[The Grinch]

Shocked Malta didn’t get through and Russia wow, they will be mad.

[Wizard.]

12 points - Estonia
10 points - Australia
8 points - Cyprus
7 points - Czech Republic
6 points - Finland
5 points - Israel
4 points - Slovenia
3 points - Sweden
2 points - Norway
1 point - Ukraine

[Denver]

Ireland is the 12th favourite to win

[Calderyon]

4 out of 10 from my top 10 in the final. Worse than on SF1, which is not good.

I liked Denmark though, so i´m glad that they qualified. And Hungary was good until the last part, so they deserved to qualify too.

Lots of robbed ones still.

Overall result 9 out of 20.

[Black Dagger]

Lucas how was Estonia live? My fav

She makes me cry tbh lol.

[Calderyon]

Netherlands going through :facepalm:

[LukeB]

Lucas, are you going eurovision next year?

[Calderyon]

Moldova grew on me after i first thought it was cringe.

Much better weird and different than Israel, who for some reason is 2nd favorite to win.

[Black Dagger]

Lucas, are you going eurovision next year?

Depending on location most likely.

[Wizard.]

She makes me cry tbh lol.

In a good way?

[Black Dagger]

In a good way?

Yeah lol. She got a standing O off me in semi 1 :joker:

[Denver]

She not eleni though

[Greg!]

Australia will win, bookmark me

[Denver]

They stand no chance it is either Cyprus or Lithuania

[Wizard.]

They stand no chance it is either Cyprus or Lithuania

NOT that boring bitch from Lithuania

[Calderyon]

Lithuania got 3.5 out of 5 (70%) from me and Cyprus got 3 out of 5 (60%).

[Denver]

NOT that boring bitch from Lithuania

She is 3rd fave to win and will probably top the televote and take our 12

[Wizard.]

She is 3rd fave to win and will probably top the televote and take our 12

I really don't see it

[Wizard.]

We NEED a bop after two boring winners

[Amy Jade]

I enjoyed Lithuania but I don't think it is a winner for me.

[Denver]

Eastern European countries always do well in televoting

[Denver]

I just want Cyprus to win

[LukeB]

I enjoyed Lithuania but I don't think it is a winner for me.

i love it more, it's beautiful but yeah i don't think they will win

[Denver]

Bad position for Cyprus

[Denver]

Finland have the best

[Greg!]

Cyprus or Australia have confirmed got it in la bag with that running order

[Wizard.]

Oh Estonia's fooked! I would say Cyprus is winning then.

[Wizard.]

Cyprus or Australia have confirmed got it in la bag with that running order

my heart can't take an Australian bop coming second again she either wins or flops!

Australia FTW honestly

Bad position for Cyprus

The 25th performance slot has seen two runner-ups in the past three years :think: Bulgaria last year, and Russia in 2015.

But also two entries who've finished 24th in the past four years - UK in 2016 (Joe and Jake) and San Marino in 2014 :worry:

I personally think it's sandwiched between 3 pretty boring songs and stands a good chance.

Finland have the best

She's buried between a run of Moldova, Bulgaria, Sweden and Australia... she's doomed. Hungary and Israel just after this run, too - both will finish highly.

Shame but it's a really killer run that'll deal a blow to 2 of their chances - I'd say Bulgaria and Finland.

[Amy Jade]

Bad position for Cyprus

2nd to last?

Surely that is decent?

[Shaun]

My prediction:

1) Cyprus
2) France
3) Moldova
4) Hungary
5) Lithuania
6) Israel
7) Czech Republic
8) Sweden
9) Estonia
10) Norway

UK will finish 24th. Ahead of Spain and Slovenia.

[Headie]

Poor Lithuania robbed of a chance to win by a terrible running order placement </3

A mess at UK getting a decent-ish slot even though it's the worst we've sent in a long time.

I think Cyprus have got the win confirmed getting the penultimate slot, with Israel and Sweden the only possible (but unlikely) contenders

[Nicky91]

not my year of eurovision at all

Praying for Slovenia to make it through :love:

Vsi smo ponosni, Lea Sirk

i am rooting for best song quality now in the final, Bulgaria & Austria, Italy, Germany


but fun acts like Israel, Moldova, Norway are just good for overall entertainment, but they shouldn't win i hope you can understand what i'm saying

You literally just said you're not watching Trollvision now. Your flip-floppy-ness is honestly tiring nowjustmake a decision and stand by it. You've said you like being popular of the forum (who doesn't?) so you make choices to please people - but the fact of the matter is people will love you much more if you have your own opinion and stand by it rather than picking a forum Fave as your own, then shaming and trolling them because you don tell like them, then changing your mind - and the cycle continues. It's just tiring.

no, i don't have a fave in the final this year :notimpressed:

but i just don't want israel to win :fist:

[Nicky91]

based on running order

Bulgaria, Cyprus, Denmark, Sweden having good chances to win i think

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Bulgaria? :joker:

Its awful, no tune, no originality, no personality, nothing but some twits taking themselves way to seriously with no cause

terrible, if it gets 20 points I will be amazed

[Nicky91]

Bulgaria? :joker:

Its awful, no tune, no originality, no personality, nothing but some twits taking themselves way to seriously with no cause

yes Bulgaria, only one i can see getting both good juries and televote support i think

[Christmas Dynasnow]

:unsure:


yes Bulgaria, only one i can see getting both good juries and televote support i think

they are 50/1

:hehe:

[Nicky91]

they are 50/1

:hehe:

odds say nothing :nono:


Gabbani was odds fave as well, hmmm he ended up being only 6th place


Netta early odds fave :think: i think she will finish between 6th and 10th place

[Christmas Dynasnow]

odds say nothing :nono:


Gabbani was odds fave as well, hmmm he ended up being only 6th place


Netta early odds fave :think: i think she will finish between 6th and 10th place

yes they do

they say that Bulgaria is sh1te and have no chance of winning

[Nicky91]

yes they do

they say that Bulgaria is sh1te and have no chance of winning

same what juries are saying about Israel i think :fan:


i think Netta just qualified in semi 1, with a huge margin of televote points which had her jump from 14th with juries to 5th overall

Ken Bruce is live from Portugal now on Radio 2
