i'd go with a Campy pop song, with synthpop influences


composed by the queens of dated music that are Ylva & Linda Persson



eurovision is for the gays, so i myself would have to adapt



''The Hero'' would be my preferred title

[Nicky91]

Sweden rule ESC


especially with the DILF that is Martin Osterdahl such a good looking man

[Nicky91]

i only am watching the grand final, like everyone should


like who cares about the semi's when we already know those in the final, since it is obvious who are qualifying and who aren't, the public are that pathetically predictable

[Nicky91]

my running order prediction for the grand final

1. Finland
2. Spain
3. Cyprus
4. Ukraine
5. Israel
6. Estonia
7. Malta
8. France
9. Austria
10. Denmark
11. Sweden
12. United Kingdom
13. Norway
14. Italy
15. Australia
16. Netherlands
17. Greece
18. Lithuania
19. Switzerland
20. Belgium
21. Czechia
22. Germany
23. Armenia
24. Ireland
25. Albania
26. Luxembourg

[Nicky91]

San Marino won't qualify, because they are a micro state

Poland won't qualify, because i don't think the fandom cares about a boomer lady doing acrobatics up in the air

Azerbaijan won't qualify, because we heard that music already before with daft punk


Serbia, Montenegro won't qualify because people don't care about balkan gibberish songs in native language


Croatia will barely miss out of the final i think, as usual in 11th


Slovenia will be last place of semi 1 with that horrible depressing snooze, about how fragile life, that pretentious ''song''

[Nicky91]

due to removing his wisdom teeth

Norway's Kyle Alessandro will not sing live during the first semi final, but playback

Thank you for the info Nicky.

QUEEENIE is coming to Basel

[Nicky91]

can already say based on one photo i saw from Ireland, they are going reduce a lot of people to tears

Spoiler:

such a stunner of a constellation of Laika in the backdrop behind Emmy

[Nicky91]

omg Israel's staging is an absolute SLAY i can tease

Spoiler:

they got the biggest prop in eurovision history, a GIANT staircase which Yuval interacts with during the performance, she climbs it, and on top of it, she sings the hebrew verses, all the while wearing a steaming hot black trouser suit!

Not surprised, probably the staging

where?


not where i am looking


Azerbaijan is still borderline q/nq at 11th in the semi 1 odds, and in 31st place in the odds to win



Croatia on the other hand yes they look chanceless (tbh Poison Cake was not the best option in this years Dora, my fave was more a traditional ballad by Marko Skugor, maybe oldfashioned for some, but still better than something this weird)

It all starts next week.

Can’t believe it. It’s like yesterday I was waiting for the songs to drop on YouTube.

[Nicky91]

i'm voting for San Marino on tuesday (two years in a row voting for them, how iconic)


and in the grand final Israel

[Nicky91]

odds update for semi 2 post first rehearsal

Australia climbed to 7th place, over Lithuania which dropped to 8th place


the percentage gap between Luxembourg (10th) and Ireland (11th) is only 6% (57 and 51 percentage of qualifying chances)

Armenia climbed over Latvia from 14th to 13th

[Nicky91]

[Nicky91]

glamourlicious am looking forward to the whole performance now

[Nicky91]

last years Rave Queen for Austria Kaleen is now part of Armenia's delegation

[Nicky91]

some shameless promo maybe, but i found these semi final scorecards this morning

https://euroalfa.eu/scorecards-for-e...5-semi-finals/

might be fun for some of you as well, to give scores for song, staging, live vocals, artist overall, as well as filling in who qualified to the final


@Vanessa @Kate! @Barry. @Benjamin @Black Dagger

San Marino have dropped drastically to 750/1. Guessing their dress rehearsal was no good.
