Members brockreynolds Posted March 21 Members Share Posted March 21 (edited) Well.. I listened to them, and they are all awful! I generally don't like modern music, but I ussually find something to like in Eurovision... not this year! France seems to be the only one that is listenable. Finland? Good Lord. The highlight of the song is supposed to be when his pants arrive from the ceiling? Who comes up with this stuff? I figure everyone is going to dump on Israel this year, although Eurovision is not supposed to be political. Sad, really. The only really FANTASTIC song of the last 3 years was from Sweden, and it didn't even win Melodifestivalen.

Members I Am A Swede Posted May 8 Members Share Posted May 8 I'm happy that Luxembourg advanced to the final. They were my favourite last night in the first semi-final. And I always like hearing a bit of French. Please register in order to view this content I keep hearing that Croatia is one of the favourites to win, and that seems incomprehensible to me. That song (if you can call it that) is more than a little influenced by Finland's entry last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Huntress Posted May 8 Author Members Share Posted May 8 Ukraine was my personal winner last night, and it will easily come top 3 in the Grand Final. I was also pleasantly surprised by Lithuania's and Slovenia's live performances. Sweden and the UK delivered as well. Meanwhile, both Australia and Azerbaijan, which I adore in their studio versions, completely fell flat on stage, so their NQ was inevitable. Q: Croatia Cyprus Finland Ireland Lithuania Luxembourg Portugal Serbia Slovenia Ukraine NQ: Australia Azerbaijan Iceland Moldova Poland 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted May 9 Members Share Posted May 9 From semi-final 2 these countries qualified to final. Latvia Austria The Netherlands Norway Israel Greece Estonia Switzerland Georgia Armenia These did not qualify Belgium Malta Albania Czechia Denmark San Marino I'm gobsmacked that Estonia and the Netherlands qualified. But that's what you get when you leave the decision entirely in the hands of the public.

Members I Am A Swede Posted May 10 Members Share Posted May 10 The best part of last night's semi-final was the interval act.....

Members I Am A Swede Posted May 10 Members Share Posted May 10 Quite an eventful year this year.... First all of the commotion and controversy surrounding Israel's participation, and now the Dutch artist Joost Klein is under investigation for an alleged violent incident towards a female crew member. He won't be performing during the rehearsals this evening, so the juries will see a tape of his performance from the semi-final instead. (The jury votes are placed based on tonight's rehearsal) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted May 11 Members Share Posted May 11 Yep, it sounds pretty serious since they've post-poned the public voting now (it was supposed to open at midnight). I doubt they'd consider disqualifying him over something non-serious because trying to fill three extra minutes in a tight live show is a nightmare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members I Am A Swede Posted May 11 Members Share Posted May 11 What a complete mess this is turning into. Apparently some countries missed parts or all of the dress rehearsals, and the Irish contestant is supposed to have said that she wants Israel to be excluded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
