[Calderyon]

8/10. Not bad.

[joeysteele]

Looks to be going to be a good contest.

This second set better than the first one.

Some good performances however.

Pretty weak semi-final compared to the first IMO... Georgia, Austria, Czechia, Estonia were all woeful.

Moldova were lucky to qualify, I thought they'd be pipped by Denmark for the cheese factor.

I have two firm favourites now, hopefully they finish top 5 (Ukraine and Italy). I'm sure one of the others I really like will underperform like mad (probably Cyprus).

[Nicky91]

all my faves out


Poland, Slovenia, Estonia

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Italy entry is amazing.
I would love them to win.

That happens sometimes sadly Nicky.

You might have more luck next year.

On a side note am I the only one that's noticed a pattern of loads of female singers singing Dancey uptempo numbers this year? I'm not saying that all of the songs in that style are bad, but I'm worried that it's gonna get very repetitive once we reach the end of the night.

[Black Dagger]

I'm so excited.

Literally any of 6 could win this thing tonight. I see them as...

Italy
France
Malta
Iceland
Switzerland
Ukraine

complete opposite, what a dull lifeless trash final, easily the worst final in esc history

[Black Dagger]

Yeah bore off.

[Braden]

I'm not a betting man at all, but I'm so tempted to put a tenner on Switzerland to win.

I think Italy are due a victory, but I really can't figure out how well they'll do with the jury. Same with France but with the televote.

I don't mind, I just hope they have fun.
I love the song.

[UserSince2005]

Ukraine is trash compared to their 2020 entry. it was so amazing.

[Calderyon]

UK odds on favorite to finish last according to Bet365.

The man is an embarrassment to Britain. Tomorrow will be cringe. He was so out of tune on the 20 seconds they showed last night

Knew he’d bomb. Omg it was so bad. Nil points were well deserved. What an embarrassment.

I like France but I knew as soon as the girl started talking that she was full of herself and so went off her fast.

Ended up routing for Switzerland towards the end but the song was a bit too similar to the style of arcade. However the gay was so sweet. And his song was really good.

The only thing interesting about Italy was the singers dickprint.

Oh God.

I haven't heard a single entry this year, including our own - so I'm going in completely blind.

Well we are going to struggle considering our entry can’t actually sing

Depends really how the juries receive him. We'll get pretty much nothing from the televote, so it depends on them.

Not really fussed if we do tbh... the song sucks big time.

[FaLaLaLand]

Looking forward to tomorrow - it was really missed last year.

[UserSince2005]

So my favourites in no particular order are;
Malta
San Marino
Switzerland
Ukraine - because I love the band
France


Ukraine or France for the win because logistically Paris and Kyiv are the easiest for me to travel to and I want to go to a Eurovision soon.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Can't wait for tonight.
It's going to be so much fun!
I'll watch all the performances, but then I'll go to bed.
I have work early morning.

[Nicky91]

i'm voting Serbia tonight, i love those girls


would love if Hurricane are this years Keiino with the televotes



i mean them qualifying in semi 2 without many of their neighbours in that is already fab but now their neighbours can also vote for them (can see croatian, slovenian, bulgarian, north macedonian juries already a good chance of having either 12'd or 10'd them, and likely to have the 10 or 8 from Greece)
