Eurovision Semi Finals discussion thread BBC4

[Denver]

I thought it would make sense to make a new thread to discuss the semi finals

[Nicky91]

yeah good idea Adam :thumbs:

[Wizard.]

Good luck to Greece tonight, betting they will win. Rooting for Cyprus, Australia, Czech Republic, Belarus, Belgium, San Marino, Estonia and obviously Greece.

[Wizard.]

Although slightly confused as to why Greece are better favourites to win and beat Australia tonight when Australia are 4th favourite to win the Grand Final and Greece are 11th.

[Denver]

Because I think Greece have a 100% qualifying history

[Wizard.]

Because I think Greece have a 100% qualifying history

so do Australia :hehe:

[Wizard.]

And I just watched Australia and you cannot help root for her on that giant stilt i would be terrifed.

[Denver]

so do Australia :hehe:

But when you look at how long Greece has been in it, then its remarkable but Greece will sabotage themselves

[Liam-]

Australia isn’t very popular with the public vote, as we’ve seen the past two years

[Wizard.]

Australia isn’t very popular with the public vote, as we’ve seen the past two years

Yes but Dami Im was very successful proving that they can get support with the right song / performance and imo Kate pars Dami.

[Black Dagger]

Greece is more polished than Australia.

Both will qualify tho.

[Liam-]

Yes but Dami Im was very successful proving that they can get support with the right song / performance and imo Kate pars Dami.

She’s great, but let’s not go crazy

[Nicky91]

Say Na Na san marino bop :dance:


but also rooting for Greece, Georgia, Finland tonight, and i still will enjoy montenegro's performance cuz i like the song even though i know they are chanceless

[Vanessa]

What time is this on?

[Nicky91]

8 PM UK Time

[Wizard.]

BBC Four not sure why they don't put it on BBC2 seeing as the final is aired on BBC One but i guess everyone has BBC Four nowadays

[Nicky91]

it was first on BBC3 but that is for online use only now, so they placed it to BBC4

[Nicky91]

Rylan and Scott :D


and also a interview with Michael Rice during one of the breaks

[Wizard.]

Say nanana san marino bop :dance:

[Vanessa]

Oh no, Holby City is at 8. I need to watch that. :hee:

[Denver]

Netta found dead?

[Denver]

This is the best runner up song ever

[Denver]

Feels so weird without Bulgaria

[Denver]

We love a bop

[Denver]

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

[Braden]

The Unconventionals :love:

[Wizard.]

Heaven is a cute song but vocals are off and no stage presence

[Denver]

It's like an X Factor week 1 boot

[Braden]

The Unconventionals :love:

i feel like this joke is made every year when there's a big group on stage so it had to happen.

[Denver]

The backing music sounds like a modern version of the Winner Takes It All

[Denver]

I hope Calbot is embarrassed about sending this

[Denver]

At least San Marino wont finish last

[Wizard.]

This is a choice

[Denver]

We love the Polish

[Denver]

Perched for us giving then the 12 in the final

[Denver]

[Denver]

I adore this song

[Denver]

[Liam-]

The guy from Slovenia freaks me out

[Liam-]

I think I’m in love with the lead singer of Lake Malawi

[Amy Jade]

I quite like Belarus

[GiRTh]

I like this Belarus song. :dance:

[Wizard.]

Belarus is nice and catchy

[Amy Jade]

Serbia has a nice voice but meh song

[Denver]

Serbia is so boring

[Wizard.]

I love it

[Denver]

We love this

[Amy Jade]

This is awful. Has he been sent under duress?

[Wizard.]

This was one of my favourite songs but he can’t sing

[Amy Jade]

:umm2:

[Amy Jade]

Worst so far: Georgia

[Amy Jade]

Australia :love:

[Headie]

Czech Republic and Cyprus are my faves from tonight so far. Also liked Belarus but the vocals were a bit meh.

[Denver]

Dont get the love for Australia

[Liam-]

Someone was holding the Belgian kid’s parents hostage surely? He looks petrified

[Amy Jade]

Dont get the love for Australia

Bitch had better vocals than literally everyone and she was balanced on a stick

[Wizard.]

Kates incredible

[Wizard.]

Rylans a Scream

[Denver]

Bitch had better vocals than literally everyone and she was balanced on a stick

2000 and Whatever was the far superior song

[Liam-]

2000 and Whatever was the far superior song

Tea

But Zero Gravity has grown on me

[Denver]

Iceland are rocking it

[Amy Jade]

Edward scissorhands wants his outfit back

[Wizard.]

Iceland bringing the entertainment

[Headie]

[Shaun]

Estonia is a nice Avicii ripoff

[Headie]

It's just hit me that we didn't send Kerrie-Anne this year did we

https://uploadir.com/u/9686c70l

[Denver]

Only just tuned in to see this year's winner. God i hope Iceland qualify

Its amongst the faves to win so it should easily qualify

[Wizard.]

It's just hit me that we didn't send Kerrie-Anne this year did we

https://uploadir.com/u/9686c70l

At least Michael is one of the best singers in the entire Contest this year, a lot of them can’t sing live but we will still be snubbed.

[Amy Jade]

what tf is this

[Amy Jade]

Georgia not the worst anymore...

[Liam-]

Iceland is like taking a look inside Madonna’s mind and I hate it

[Denver]

Portugal always sends the worst god knows how they won

[Denver]

My sister went to school with david sneddon

[Liam-]

I like Estonia

[Amy Jade]

Quite like Greece

[Denver]

This is like when your dad gets up for Karaoke

[Twosugars]

Iceland so far for me
and Australia was cute

[Headie]

Shut up singing shyte!

https://uploadir.com/u/tron6715

[Amy Jade]

Why do they send people who can't sing?

[Wizard.]

If they had an actual singer San Marino would actually qualify

[Denver]

The 10 Qualifiers according to the bookies

Screaming at the kiss cam and then cutting to a poor old man clapping along

[Amy Jade]

Russia will be having a melt down at the gays smooching

[Braden]

I miss Mel :(

[Denver]

I miss Mel :(

Rylan is better

[Liam-]

Why is Dana singing Bruno Mars

[Liam-]

[Amy Jade]

Pretty pleased with the results tbf. My favourites went through and two worst flopped

[Amy Jade]

Anyone else lost the picture?

[Denver]

Hungary and Belgium should have made it

[Wizard.]

So who won? Surely Australia didn’t come 6th or whatever place it was announced

[Amy Jade]

Mess at it coming back on for the last seconds hahaha

[Denver]

Atleast the UK are finishing higher then 25th

[Braden]

9/10 isn't bad.

Wanted Portugal in over San Marino.

[Liam-]

Iceland and San Marino? Keep it

[Calderyon]

Finland did not deserve to qualify with a performance like that, so the result was justified.

[Josiah.]

Well, we'll find out the points and placings for this semi after the final on Saturday.

I'm actually shocked that San Marino and Slovenia qualified.

[Barry.]

Happy for Zena and Lake Czech lol. But wow at Dan Marino.

[Black Dagger]

Iceland and San Marino? Keep it

Shut up

[Liam-]

Shut up

Me @ them

[Barry.]

Iceland was epic.

[Calderyon]

Iceland was epic.

Epic awfulness.

[Barry.]

Epic awfulness.

Umm.... No!

[Calderyon]

Umm.... No!

It was not good. Different, but not good.

[Barry.]

It was not good. Different, but not good.

Well I liked it.

[Wizard.]

I have Australia and Czech Republic stuck in my head, and Say Na Na Na, can't really remember the others although I know i liked others but these are the catchiest.

[Shaun]

Wanted Poland, Portugal and Georgia over Slovenia, Belarus and Serbia but Serbia was obviously a qualifier.

[Nicky91]

Puking at Belarus, Estonia qualifying over pure feeling quality songs from Hungary and Georgia


like this is eurovision hitting a new low, the fans going for lifeless fastfood trash songs :notimpressed:


Zena got a 1.0/10 from me, she was awful also with her childish voice UGH :rolleyes:

[Nicky91]

my dad only liked czech republic, Australia and serbia

my mom liked san marino, Australia, czech republic, Greece


i liked Montenegro, Finland, Georgia, Hungary, Serbia, Slovenia, Greece the most

[Morgan.]

I always love the Czech entries :dance:

[Wizard.]

I always love the Czech entries :dance:

Is it cause they always send hot boys?

[Nicky91]

hope there is justice in this world and tomorrow we dutch shock NQ :fc: im praying for that big time

us arrogant greedy dutch delegation with our lacklustre songs, thinking its only about the song, while its about combo of song + performance ;)

[Calderyon]

Well I liked it.

That's okay.

[Morgan.]

Is it cause they always send hot boys?

Obviously

[Twosugars]

Hope Iceland do well. Bdsm is what Europe needs :hee:

[Calderyon]

Iceland could be a worse winner than a woman pretending to be a chicken.

[Nicky91]

Iceland could be a worse winner than a woman pretending to be a chicken.

no way the winner comes from this semi 1 :laugh:



and Netherlands would be a worse winner than Netta last year tbh

[Liam-]

I might try and go next year depending on who wins

[Nicky91]

I might try and go next year depending on who wins

btw duncan is our b choice, we wanted armin van buuren a dj with a singer apparently but armin refused :fan:

[Twosugars]

Iceland could be a worse winner than a woman pretending to be a chicken.

Iceland carry the tradition started by Finnish Lordi :hee:

[Nicky91]

lykLWe_L8ho

acoustic performance for She Got Me, by switzerlands Luca :lovedup:


i'm thinking of voting for either switzerland, azerbaijan or Norway tomorrow

[Nicky91]

1128603695288078336

oh just 2 points difference between 10th and 11th :o

[Twosugars]

We need more kissing gays in the audience to piss off Russia

[Twosugars]

Btw the less said about the polish entry the better.
What God awful racket that was

[Nicky91]

Btw the less said about the polish entry the better.
What God awful racket that was

polish folk :D

[Twosugars]

polish folk :D

Well-titted milkmaids they weren't :laugh:
But the sound they made was the worst part

[Wizard.]

1128603695288078336

oh just 2 points difference between 10th and 11th :o

I take it the two disagreements are that Jury gave top place to Greece whilst televoters gave top place to Australia, and Jury did not place San Marino top 10 whilst televoters did.

[Calderyon]

Iceland carry the tradition started by Finnish Lordi :hee:

Except Lordi was actually quite good. Iceland wasn't. Nor was the chicken lady.

[Denver]

It's quite Obvious Hungary came 11th

[Calderyon]

I might have too kind with my points this time.

[starry]

best (in no particular order) for me

Cyprus
Finland
Australia
Belarus
Greece
Belgium
Serbia

only two didn't qualify from that, which is way better than normal for me, biggest injustice Finland.

[reece(:]

1128546738107764736

[arista]

1128546738107764736



Yes its Farce bring in the Crazy Down Unders
Far Far Away.

68% say no.

[Black Dagger]

hope there is justice in this world and tomorrow we dutch shock NQ :fc: im praying for that big time

Oh please. Just for once. ****ing shut it.

[Liam-]

1128546738107764736

Why does that show take everything so seriously? Smh, take a nap

[Calderyon]

Technically no, but I guess it's not really that big of a deal.

[Calderyon]

But by that standard maybe Israel shouldn't be part of it either.

[Denver]

Tbh you could take like at least 10 countries out that are technically not Europe

[Denver]

Australia
Israel
Georgia
Azerbaijan
Cyprus

Just of the type of my head are not geographically in Europe

[Calderyon]

Agree about Australia and Israel. Kind of agree about Georgia and Azerbaijan, but Cyprus just about qualifies imo.

[Twosugars]

Its European broadcasting union NOT Europe. People should chill out and be happy other countries want to join in the fun.

[Twosugars]

Oh please. Just for once. ****ing shut it.

Why don't you put him on ignore? He's allowed to post you know

[Nicky91]

Yes its Farce bring in the Crazy Down Unders
Far Far Away.

68% say no.

so what, Australia can compete, they have been broadcasting the contest for a very long time now, and they have contributed artists to the contest too for either Ireland, UK

[Nicky91]

Its European broadcasting union NOT Europe. People should chill out and be happy other countries want to join in the fun.

exactly :clap1: :clap1:

[Calderyon]

For now it can be Eurovision.

But if more of the EBU members and associate members start to join, the competition name should be considering changing into Worldvision or Globalvision or Terravision/Tellusvision.

[Nicky91]

no Cald it doesn't work like that, Australia was a exception because they have been broadcasting for such a long time but i doubt they would turn it into worldvision ;)


Kazakhstan can join since they are 1/2 in europe for example, they just need to work things out with their broadcaster etc

[Calderyon]

no Cald it doesn't work like that, Australia was a exception because they have been broadcasting for such a long time but i doubt they would turn it into worldvision ;)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Broadcasting_Union

Look at the map in blue.

I mean if for example New Zealand, USA, Canada, Morocco etc. join in the future, shouldn't they change it to a global competition with a proper name change instead of it staying as Eurovision?

[Nicky91]

Morocco already participated in eurovision, in 1980 ;) got 0 points though but still

Samira Said was their artist there, and she is now one of most popular artists in her country :)

[Calderyon]

OK. Not the thing I was asking though.

[Nicky91]

yeah i know what you mean, i am in for newer countries at eurovision but they must be in europe somehow, 1/2 or fully

Kazakhstan is part of UEFA too

[Twosugars]

How about calling it Eurovision Open Song Contest?
Like grand slam tennis championships or any open championships where anybody can compete regardless of nationality?

[Calderyon]

yeah i know what you mean, i am in for newer countries at eurovision but they must be in europe somehow, 1/2 or fully

Yeah, I mean if Turkey can participate, then so can Kazakhstan.

[Wizard.]

Australia
Israel
Georgia
Azerbaijan
Cyprus

Just of the type of my head are not geographically in Europe

Neither is Iceland.

[Nicky91]

How about calling it Eurovision Open Song Contest?
Like grand slam tennis championships or any open championships where anybody can compete regardless of nationality?

NO

i don't want USA to come even near our contest with their trash american music :bored:


good they can compete in their own americavision soon, and staying away from us

[Nicky91]

Semi 2 tonight, and UK votes in this semi too

[Nicky91]

Moldova is soooo gorgeous :flutter: STAY UNTIL YOU FIND A WAY TO BE TOGETHER, STAY NO MATTER THEY SAY ITS NOW OR NEVER FOREVER'S HERE TO STAY

''no matter what they say'' aimed at all the hate for Anna, i believe in her she can rock that stage, let those sour faced haters choke tbh :idc:


Sand art staging is beautiful, and her song is sooo a good celine dion-ish love ballad :clap1: :clap1:

[Wizard.]

Netherlands is winning, when was the last time that the winner was up in the air? Ukraine?

[Denver]

Netherlands is winning, when was the last time that the winner was up in the air? Ukraine?

It is not a guaranteed winner and atleast 8 countries could win

[Liam-]

I hope the Netherlands don’t win, the song isn’t all that, obvious winners suck for the most part

[Denver]

I hope the Netherlands don’t win, the song isn’t all that, obvious winners suck for the most part

He is only fave because of his looks not because he has the best voice or song

[Liam-]

If it was an attractive competition, Azerbaijan, Estonia or Czech Republic would have it in the bag lbr

[Wizard.]

He is only fave because of his looks not because he has the best voice or song

No it's because the song is the most winner-esque and it creates a moment which only a few other songs do this year (Sweden, Australia and Russia) unfortunately for them they do not fit into the winning category for one reason or another (Eastern European countries are racist, Australia is risky with the opera and not in Europe and Russia is... Russia). Reality TV Tim who is a professional gambler and who did all the tips for CBB evictions is putting 6grand on Netherlands to win. It's where the money is.

the money is never with the favourites I fully expect another Swedish win as they are always consistently top 10 and always a fave with juries

[Liam-]

Fuego was the favourite last year in the week leading up to the final

[Nicky91]

He is only fave because of his looks not because he has the best voice or song

because people love his butt :laugh:


some of the higher notes are pre recorded studio bits, so he doesn't sing all of them

[Wizard.]

Fuego was the favourite last year in the week leading up to the final

Netta was always favourite she just slipped out slightly for a bit I suspect Netherlands to fall back a bit too

[Denver]

Fuego is still the best winner we ever had

[Nicky91]

https://www.escdaily.com/ebu-and-kan-will-help-duncan-laurence-if-he-gets-a-first-half-draw/

EBU and KAN will rig it in favour of Duncan should he get a first half draw in the final

[Denver]

I still believe they should draw numbers not halfs

[Nicky91]

I still believe they should draw numbers not halfs

no he will first be located to a half, and then numbers draw will take place

[Barry.]

Fuego is still the best winner we ever had

Stay bitter.

[Twosugars]

Next year host city eindhoven:dance:

[Wizard.]

I would really want to go next year if it is Netherlands or Sweden.

[Twosugars]

Nicky to commentate live from the sunflower patch:D

[Nicky91]

Next year host city eindhoven:dance:

won't happen :shrug:


it will be either amsterdam or rotterdam i think :hehe:


i think amsterdam, very fitting for arrogant corrupt avrotros elite :laugh3: :laugh3:

[Twosugars]

Tbh I'm still in love with Jamala's 1944.

[Twosugars]

Nicky do you have a big enough venue in Eindhoven?

[Wizard.]

Nicky why don't you even root for your own country

[Denver]

We really do need a new country to win so Iceland get my votes

[LaLaLand]

Rooting for Malta going through tonight :fc:

[Liam-]

Are Australia allowed to host it if they win now? Iirc the first year they took part, if they won they had to choose a country to host it for them

[Denver]

Are Australia allowed to host it if they win now? Iirc the first year they took part, if they won they had to choose a country to host it for them

No it has to be held in Europe with Germany the preferred country of Australia

[Liam-]

No it has to be held in Europe with Germany the preferred country of Australia

Why Germany? :suspect:

[Denver]

Why Germany? :suspect:

I dont know why but I always though it would be us with us being close allies and speaking the same language

[Crimson Dynamo]

From what I saw on Tuesday Australia and Croatia were best and Australia is unique enough to win

[Liam-]

I dont know why but I always though it would be us with us being close allies and speaking the same language

Idek where we’d host it here tbh

[Denver]

Idek where we’d host it here tbh
We have many big arenas or could even transform a Football stadium for a week

[LaLaLand]

Like, Australia should choose the UK, because technically like, they ARE British?

Plus I wanna go to a ESC and not have to pay to go abroad to do so :laugh2:

[Nicky91]

Nicky why don't you even root for your own country

I-

what, i saw our jury rehearsal, it was DIVINE :o everything falls perfectly into place, and his vocals are good


i'm not sure if we win, but it is a good song i don't hate it, just that vile attitude from our delegation

[Nicky91]

From what I saw on Tuesday Australia and Croatia were best and Australia is unique enough to win

Croatia performs tonight though

[Crimson Dynamo]

Croatia performs tonight though

which was the 3 lads and the neon squares?

[Liam-]

We have many big arenas or could even transform a Football stadium for a week

I don’t think we have any arenas big enough to house Eurovision, a big elaborate stage, massive audience areas and a contestant area as well as backstage stuff? I can’t see us having anything big enough

[Liam-]

which was the 3 lads and the neon squares?

Czech Republic

[Denver]

Sophie Ellis Bexter has quit the UKs jury team

[Liam-]

Haven’t they already done their jobs?

[Nicky91]

which was the 3 lads and the neon squares?

czech republic ;)


Croatia is guy with golden Wings on his back :D

[Morgan.]

Sophie Ellis Bexter has quit the UKs jury team

Why?

[Denver]

Why?

No real reason was given but a replacement will be flown out today

[Denver]

Haven’t they already done their jobs?

No as they have the final

[Liam-]

But they’ve obviously already judged the semis so the votes can be counted, are they watching all 26 tomorrow?

[Denver]

But they’ve obviously already judged the semis so the votes can be counted, are they watching all 26 tomorrow?

Yes the Jury final is tomorrow

[Crimson Dynamo]

czech republic ;)


Croatia is guy with golden Wings on his back :D

yes czech republic that is a catchy sound

[Liam-]

Yes the Jury final is tomorrow

Ah right, I just assumed they’d stick to the jury score they were given through both rounds

[Denver]

Ah right, I just assumed they’d stick to the jury score they were given through both rounds

Dont forget the other 6 countries

[Liam-]

Dont forget the other 6 countries

Yeah, ignore me, I’m having a dumb moment :laugh:

I wonder why she quit then, must have been fumed that Belarus ended her career

[Wizard.]

I-

what, i saw our jury rehearsal, it was DIVINE :o everything falls perfectly into place, and his vocals are good


i'm not sure if we win, but it is a good song i don't hate it, just that vile attitude from our delegation

No I mean you don’t support Netherlands your own country I don’t even support the U.K. tbh

[Nicky91]

yes grand final jury show is tomorrow of course, after the draw which order they will be performing in

[Barry.]

Nicky to commentate live from the sunflower patch:D

:joker:

[Nicky91]

which 9 countries will go through tonight alongside Netherlands to the grand final?

cuz Netherlands is already in the final, just to make things official tonight :smug:

[Black Dagger]

Boring.

[Barry.]

cuz Netherlands is already in the final, just to make things official tonight :smug:

You are making me hate Netherlands lol.

[Liam-]

You are making me hate Netherlands lol.

:joker:

[Shaun]

Must Qualify: Switzerland, Norway, Austria, Malta & Azerbaijan
Like but not bothered if they don't make it: Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands
I am completely indifferent about: Armenia, Albania, Macedonia
I am not a fan but it is obviously qualifying: Moldova, Romania, Russia
BUGGER OFF: Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania

[Shaun]

Rylan has been fantastic again this year and we do not need Scott Mills. Throw in Ana Matronic (so it doesn't go the same way as BOTS, but then it's only twice a year and probably would be fine just Rylan solo) and we have a perfect lineup :love:

[Amy Jade]

I agree Shaun. Rylan has been great, can't fault him.

[Liam-]

Sweden, Norway, Azerbaijan and Malta :fc:

I agree Shaun. Rylan has been great, can't fault him.

I thik it helps that not only is he a massive fan but is also on a serious broadcaster

[Amy Jade]

This is meh

[Liam-]

Painful

[Shaun]

I like this better with staging (I based my opinions on the songs alone) but it's probably doomed with being on first?

Wouldn't be a huge loss either way.

[Amy Jade]

Do Ireland have good odds?

[Liam-]

I hate this song so much

[Shaun]

Do Ireland have good odds?

200/1

Pretty much bottom 5 of the songs still in the competition, I can't see it qualifying really.

It's nice though?

[Amy Jade]

I still hear 'now I'm a ****** too'
