I'm totally in love with this song

 

[James]

Well they've just said here, that the UK was offered a second performance, but SuRei has declined.

 

[Lady Jolanda]

These last few songs are giving me a headache.

Ha ha. I did like the way that Moldova song was staged.

Moldova's visual aspects make them the Bucks Fizz of 2018.

Lol. I thought it was funny.

This Swedish one is more like Tron!

 

[Lady Jolanda]

AAAAH
This slick guy from Sweden.

 

[James]

He's into the crowd ! Hungary don't hold back.

 

[Lady Jolanda]

WOOOO

:music::headbang:

That guy isn't the best signer in the world, but damn, they can play :jammin':

Getting Eurovision fatigue now, so many songs already.

I tried to listen to what the protester said but I can't make it out. It sounds like "We're doing nazis for UK media. We demand freedom. White blocking". The second sentence is clear. The rest could be anything, maybe it's "Wife for king" ...

OMG Hungary

 

[Lady Jolanda]

Uh oh, Chicken Dance is on again.

Only 4 left thankfully. They're saying Israel are the favourites ? Still think the German song was the best (to my ears).

I could see the French song doing well. The crowd seemed to love the Israel one though.

@Lady Jolanda very American sounding Dutch entry ?

Yep...

 

[Lady Jolanda]

Ireland is actually bringing me to tears. Crap.

I loved it. But I'm a tiny bit biased. Lol. Can't believe they've not been in the final for five years.

I loved it too. If a song can bring me to tears, it has to be good

 

[James]

Last song then. Italy.

 

[Fidicen]

Cyprus is the betting favourite at the moment, but the song sounds too much like "If Love Was a Crime", the Bulgarian entry from 2016, which was my favourite that year and the comparison isn't flattering to Cyprus. Ah, lovely Poli Genova . No! Tonight belongs to Elina!
