Boy am I glad I won't be in France for the final, the French TV presenters are really fucking annoying.

Sweden - no socks.
Australia - no socks.

Has Putin stolen all the socks?

I'll miss it on Saturday because I didn't realise the dates clashed when I booked ballet tickets, so I'm watching the semi-finals. Montenegro is my favourite so far.

Portugal had the most beautiful voice.


Azerbaijan had no socks either, what is going on?

I kind of like Latvia, it was all a bit put together in a student flat.



Yay, Verka.

Are we still allowed to take part in this?

Yes.

Early comments from the EU Brexit negotiating team indicate that the UK will still be allowed to enter Eurovision after Brexit.  This is just the first of the punitive measures from this tough EU negotiating stance.

So that's no socks and rolled up sleeves, it's Crockett (or maybe Tubbs I don't know which was which).

I didn't realise it had different stages now. Do they apply the away tunes rule?

Having heard the UK effort, I for one can't see us getting any points. It is terrible IMHO. Oh and I think the singer said she wasn't going to wear shoes...not sure about socks however.

That said, we will be watching it with a nice curry and a bottle of wine for CBH  :thumbsup:

I always assume that the UK song is awful, and we'll have no chance, so I've barely listened to ours.  Anyway, isn't it all about who has the most exotic clothing, strangest dance or ethnic music. ;D

I've checked the fridge, and I have enough wine and beer to last me, unless I really need to urgently break open the whisky or vodka.  Dr Who, and then straight through on to Eurovision.  That's certainly a simple approach. :)
Actually, it is rocket science.

Hmm, Israel.

Mesh top - check
Muscly bloke - check
Socks - check - didn't he get the memo?

Ah well, it was the best song yet.

So far, Belorussia and Armenia have been the most "noticeable" of the songs, but both are bit Folk Musicy.  Armenia won out, with odd dancing too !

I recall a UK entry some years ago in which the artiste didn't wear shoes. She did rather well.

Apparently the Italian song is favoured, although I can't see that a dancing gorilla would exactly help that?!  :o ;D
