The dancing was exquisite from Israel's entry.:dance:

But tbf I think that most of them were decent.

Of the ones that went through I really liked Serbia, Finland, and Croatia.

Czechia I thought were weaker compared to the recorded version.

And Sweden was by the numbers for me, I think it's only a contender because Loreen is the one singing it, there are better entries in the competition imo.

unlucky neem :laugh:

I'm pretty happy about it actually, the song was ****e but also I didn't like the way they fired their choreographer a few weeks back because of a few tweets he sent (one because he called a "trans" rapist a man.)

It’s funny how all our tastes are so different

i voted for Croatia, such a EPIC FUN Quirky crowdpleasing comedic take on a anti-war song and the pyro's from the missiles, what a show


also those vocals :worship:


fun fact: Let 3 are a very very well known, famous act in their country, won many awards for some of their other work



Moldova my 2nd favourite, 3 minutes of pure fun and tribal moldovan folk, the dwarf is Pasha's friend too btw, since his bachelor party, and the flute is a traditional moldovan instrument


my faves being announced as first two qualifiers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



out of qualifiers

i only would've swapped Norway with Malta, and Switzerland with Azerbaijan

but native language winning :flutter:

some of the worst vocals of the night, alongside Sweden (screechy Loreen) and Israel (Noa is HOT and a phenomenal dancer but a singer she ain't)


Norway's Alessandra was a bit pitchy in places too

I didn't mind the song for the Republic of Ireland.
The performance wasn't too good though.

For me however, there's worse through than Ireland.
A shame that.

UK's Eurovision singer who 'hates' Britain applies for German passport so she
can live in Spain

https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/K1...5a928420d3dd60

Mae Muller - the extreme left-wing "activist" picked by the BBC who will represent the UK
in Eurovision on Saturday - has applied for a German passport as "it means we
can live in Spain".

The singer, who previously tweeted "I hate this country" over a free school
meals row, said she wants to do well in the competition but doesn't regret her
controversial comments about Britain.

In a series of extreme tweets from 2020, Muller also branded the
Conservative Party “racist and elitist” while campaigning for hard left ex-
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

And while former Prime Minister Boris Johnson fought for his life in hospital
with Covid, she wrote: “Unpopular opinion but I do not feel sorry for him.

“Yes, he is human, yes, he has kids, but so do 100s of other people who have
actually died due to Tory policies. Taking up a bed in intensive care but
you’re not on a ventilator and in ‘high spirits’? Nah mate.”

According to the singer, her surname is from her grandfather Robert, a Jew

who fled Germany for Britain during World War II.

Simple to see why the BBC chose her.

Can't we call Sam Ryder? See if he can come up with a tune by Saturday.

Favourites of the night were Portugal and Switzerland, that guy has a great voice. Liked Moldova too.
A shame Azerbaijan didn't get through, I loved it.
The Swedish performance was too OTT for me. Calm down Loreen. :hee:

That's great because she speaks all the European languages fluently

ive just been thinking, with so many ukranians now living across europe in their millions, they can affect the vote in just about every country :laugh:

yeah a shame Loreen was always gonna qualify


i couldn't understand a word of what she was singing other than Tattoo :joker:


and also quite awful vocals, don't get why she's hyped that much in the odds (couldn't either back in 2012)


best ones for me personally were

Croatia: so much fun and vocals for that genre were pretty good, especially in the croatian alphabet section, almost croatian bohemian rhapsody :clap1: gorgeous

Moldova: genuine fun, moldova always knows how to stage these kind of acts so well

Israel: her singing okay but that dancing was total knockout and she looks sexy and the phenome, phenome, phenomenal parts are so catchy


i ended up also voting Croatia because our commentators were trashing it and singling it out as the only bad performance and they were pretending as if Mia & Dion had perfect vocals :laugh3:

Can't wait for tomorrow. We can finally vote!
Hope the line up is good.

If I had been allowed to, my vote would have definitely gone for Loreen. I think she's fantastic.

Its all one big hoax anyway as last year showed id imagine the winners for this year have already been decided based on who can afford to host?

there are a couple of hunks in tomorrow's


Cyprus's Andrew

Australia's Danny (but all other male members of Voyager are decently looking too, and their female guitarist Simone is very sympathetic, suffers from migrain but doesn't stop her from having fun with the band)

San Marino's italian rock band Piqued Jacks those guys are good looking as well

I think you are likely close to being right in that.

umm no


last year was just that majority of people had lots of sympathy for Ukraine, understandable of course (to me Stefania was a enjoyable anthemic fun song so i didn't complain against their win and UK was a well deserved runner up)

That's Music for you.:laugh:

And may it never change.:dance:

indeed Mock


tonight semi 2, glad i have one show i can more sit back and be a nicer judge without having to be too serious into who i will vote for, as we aren't voting this semi (i do have some favourites here though)


Albania, Australia, Belgium, Poland




and in terms of Poland, hope all of you tibbers will also be loving BEJBA her slayage summer bop performance


-------------------------
btw fun facts on Serbia's Luke Black, he studied at Universities in London apparently, and his stage surname ''black'' stands for the decade which was the death of the old serbian music scene also to hide his real surname ivanovic, coming from a extremely rich family, hence why he was able to go off to prestigious uni's in london

most views on youtube of semi 1: Croatia

:clap1: :clap1:

the flavour of my music taste :flutter:

Tonight we can vote. So excited :dance:
