[Nicky91]

Israel's first victory since 1998 coming now :clap1:

[Shaun]

Hoping:

- Ireland don't bother the top 5. Don't even deserve top 15, tbh... that song is weak and it'd play straight into the "you only need an LGBT gimmick to win!!!" hate.
- Australia, Finland and Slovenia don't flop
- Moldova and Sweden manage another top 5 in spite of the odds
- SuRie doesn't finish last (although I can't really argue she should finish any higher than 15th)

Ireland will be top 10 like you said it is appealing to the LGBT community

and i agree with you Moldova could have another fab result this year


i think SuRie will finish just 20th

[Wizard.]

Fuego ah ey ah ey ah ey fuego

agree

worried that Germany will top 3

Suri blew the roof off performance wise last night on the jury performance

She is a great performer with a bang average song but her performances suggest perhaps top 15?

[EspeonBB]

Cyprus is WINNING

[Shaun]

Some songs are already in the iTunes top 200:

- SuRie obviously at 43
- Cyprus at 87
- Ireland at 138
- Israel at 161

I can see Eleni making the official top 40.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I heard Cyprus on the radio and it sounded quite good, Graham Norton said it was a run of the mill ESC effort and in many ways he is right, its nothing special but then this year that could be good enough

[Greg!]

Perched pumped and primed! Cyprus or Australia to WIN! :clap1:

[Denver]

[Wizard.]

[LukeB]

I wouldn't mind a Lithuania win either, it's stunning and it's a better slow song that last years winner imo.

[Adamw92]

This is the first time I've watched Eurovision in full since like 2012

[Morgan.]

Israel, Finland, Czech Rep, Cyprus, or UK :fc:

[James]

[Ross.]

Good luck with that :worry: think she'll finish in the bottom half

That’s what everyone said about X Factor!

[EspeonBB]

Good luck with that :worry: think she'll finish in the bottom half

Not too keen atm :worry:

[RileyH]

[Adamw92]

Saara! :love:

[Ross.]

This is so long already

[Morgan.]

what did the Chinese find offensive about the Albanian entry? I can't remember anything gay in it but then I am a forgetful old fool

I think I did assumed it was Ireland and Australia they censored but still shocking

[Adamw92]

Italy should just give up, having to perform after Cyprus :laugh2:

[LukeB]

5 presenters next year?

[Shaun]

Italy should just give up, having to perform after Cyprus :laugh2:

They'll do pretty well, theirs is the only semi-political song I can think of aside from France's.

[Adamw92]

They'll do pretty well, theirs is the only semi-political song I can think of aside from France's.

I can't even remember it. Oh well.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I'm not sure about these women

[Amy Jade]

I am ready!

[Shaun]

It begins!!!!!!!!! :flutter:

[Ross.]

Bring back our Jamala

[Shaun]

I wonder if the last song from the semis has ever been the first song at the final before. #boringobservations

A nice song tho

[Crimson Dynamo]

This is pish

[RileyH]

Imagine if something went wrong and all of a sudden he just caught fire

[LukeB]

[Ross.]

Where are the bops

[Headie]

I wonder if the last song from the semis has ever been the first song at the final before. #boringobservations

I bet our Lucas is waving a light in the air

[LukeB]

He's hot tbh

[MTVN]

Spain was a tad boring too

[MTVN]

I'm feeling slightly intimidated by this

[Headie]

Perched for the fakeout

[Shaun]

Oh I forgot she does a staged technical fault for no reason, I'm happy this'll flop now

[Shaun]

:joker: @ the fake reaction

[Ross.]

Oh wow get that crowd interaction

[EspeonBB]

Queen of technical faults

[Ross.]

This serving a bop from 2007

[Amy Jade]

Oh i liked Lithuania

[Denver]

We only care for Cyprus

[Glenn.]

They’ve been pretty terrible so far

[Headie]

Lithuania :love: Love this one

[Adamw92]

[RileyH]

Beautiful :love:

[Ross.]

I did not turn the TV on for Diana Vickers ballads

We’re here for the Lithuanian version of Diana!

[Amy Jade]

This is easily the best ballad this year

[EspeonBB]

Lithuania :love:

[Amy Jade]

This bloke was awful

[Headie]

Lowkey tempted to tune into the Shangela commentary version

[Samm]

diana vickers knows how to snap out a tear or two

https://media.giphy.com/media/qskWDbk0laBJ6/giphy.gif

:joker:

[Shaun]

First actual contender here

[Owen19]

Not a fan of this

[Headie]

Love Estonia's song too :love:

Lithuania and Estonia have been screwed over by early slots, if they'd been second half they'd easily be contenders to win

[Shaun]

It is ridiculously beautiful tbf

Just not a fan of opera.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Josy wedding dress?

[LukeB]

Katherine Jenkins is shook

[RileyH]

Oh wow gorgeous dress

[Adamw92]

This is beautiful

[Amy Jade]

I think Estonia could do well even with the early performance. It's very memorable and there is nothing else like it to make you forget it

[Samm]

her facetune is serving celine

[Ross.]

Not a former winner

[Crimson Dynamo]

Amazing

[Amy Jade]

This is probably the worst song this year

[Adamw92]

This one is just awful

[Wizard.]

I don’t know how that can’t top the jury votes

[Wizard.]

I quite like this tbf very cringy

[LukeB]

I loved fairytale but i hate this!

[Amy Jade]

Bet he's a smug bastard aswell

[EspeonBB]

Norway is a mess

[RileyH]

This is good

[RileyH]

He's quite cute as well

[Headie]

He's ruining his legacy

[Glenn.]

My ears are bleeding

[Amy Jade]

The irony of the name of this song when the lyrics are god awful

[Headie]

I'm the guy in the crowd facing the other way

[Natalie.]

Fairytale is my favourite but this is rubbish

[Amy Jade]

This deserves to be bottom 5

[Ross.]

What a bloody mess

[Samm]

this is something personal trainer would sing

next

[Ross.]

I'm the guy in the crowd facing the other way

:joker:

[RileyH]

A nice beat

[LukeB]

Fairytale is my favourite but this is rubbish

he needed to do a song better than fairytale and he did that.. what was he thinking

[Ross.]

Okay I’ve had enough of slow songs

[Crimson Dynamo]

Great song from Norway. Best beat of all. Pop

[LukeB]

I prefer this years Portugal entry to last years.

[Black Dagger]

Stan Lithuania anymore you set of silly bastards and I will nuke her.

[Shaun]

I prefer this years Portugal entry to last years.

this just in: LukeB prefers a female vocal

[Amy Jade]

The woman with her looks like a lesbian version of BB's Lotan

[Crimson Dynamo]

he needed to do a song better than fairytale and he did that.. what was he thinking

Compliment from you, notorious bad taste rivaling Nicky:joker:

[RileyH]

The woman with her looks like a lesbian version of BB's Lotan

[RileyH]

Compliment from you, notorious bad taste rivaling Nicky:joker:

The best host (bar Petra) always seems to be lumped with the Green Room duties

[Adamw92]

Here comes SuRie

[Amy Jade]

The best host (bar Petra) always seems to be lumped with the Green Room duties

Yeah she is by far the most likeable host this year

[Shaun]

[Wizard.]

We gonna win the sympathy votes yasss

[Ross.]

Omg I feel so bad for her wtf

She done incredibly well to continue :clap1:

[Josiah.]

Someone jumped the stage! 2nd year in a row that this has happened.

[MTVN]

What was that, a protestor?

[Natalie.]

What happened then?
I liked that more the second time hearing

[Adamw92]

Low-key hoping we get a top 10 finish for that

[Amy Jade]

Obviously they need more security which is so sad

[Crimson Dynamo]

They could have stabbed her. Utter scumbags. She coped like a total pro. Amazing

[Shaun]

SuRie slipping the invader a £50 backstage as we speak?

[Adamw92]

Someone jumped the stage! 2nd year in a row that this has happened.

Who was interrupted last year?

[Denver]

Screaming at the UK gong from 350/1 to 66/1 after that

[Amy Jade]

Who was interrupted last year?

The woman who won the year before. Someone ran on stage and mooned

[LukeB]

I thought that was planned at first (it could be who knows) but she looked soo angry which made me think otherwise

[Crimson Dynamo]

Was it Lucas?

:worry:

[Ross.]

SuRie slipping the invader a £50 backstage as we speak?

[LaLaLand]

#BREXIT

[Shaun]

[Crimson Dynamo]

British stiff upper lip. Now a ESC Legend

[Shaun]

Oh nvm I like this, the song's cute

[Wizard.]

I'm so sure it looked like the Hungarian lead singer as well :joker: I'm here for the disqualifications

‘I, Hungarian’ coming to snatch the Oscars next year?

All of Hungary's points to go to the UK :clap1:

[Wizard.]

I feel a tad bad for the performers because everyone’s too shook to remember these now but not really

[Crimson Dynamo]

If it wasn't Lucas then it must have been Nicky?

[Ross.]

The UK's odds shortening fast because of that mess :skull:

If she performs again at the end she’s getting the ultimate sympathy vote

Justice for Lucie Jones!

[Natalie.]

Aw this song

[Headie]

Kinda glad we didn't send Asanda now, poor sis would've been broken if that had happened to her

[Josiah.]

Germany's song was really pretty.

[Shaun]

If it wasn't Lucas then it must have been Nicky?

I don't remember hearing the words "WOW, THIS SURIE IS NOT SUCH A BRITISH QUEEN, SICK OF HER :oh: I STAN NETTA NOW BYE" :think:

[Amy Jade]

Germany is actually quite good!

[RileyH]

this song :love:
