2022 Eurovision Semi 1 - Someone Give That Wolf A Banana!

[airgelaal]

So who here can vote and willing to throw Iceland a bone?

Iceland should be in the final.

 

[marbri]

I was really skeptical of Austria's vocals.

Can't

But you can ask me for a favor on Thursday!

 

[marbri]

Iceland should be in the final.

It hasn't been polling well but fingers crossed! Finals are always more fun when you have a dog in the race (even if they come in last )

I was really skeptical of Austria's vocals.

She went into a held high note at the end and whoever the background singers were clearly had all the power the entire song because it sounded the exact same without her voice. But it's catchy music, so who knows.

I usually always throw Finland a vote
It's only Sweden I don't because they rarely ever give Iceland points

Ukraine
Netherlands
Greece
Norway

All dead certs. Judging on tonight I would say Portugal are in too.

BBC interviewing the Irish singer Brooke

I was amazed when I watched her video last night, not what I was expecting, very catchy though! Really hope it gets through. @allezfred what do you think?

BBC Interviewing The Rasmus too, they seem very happy!

Semi 2 is really tough. We could just get in or could just miss out. Still I think it is a step up from what we have been sending recently.

I think it’s a shame, the recorded version sounded great. I think/hope it will still get through anyway but the vocals didn’t really work.

As for me, there were more than 7 songs much worse

 

[Hanna]

Ah the Italian entry from 2 years ago That never got to compete. Glad they get to perform now, wonderful gesture. ❤

This is a freaking beautiful song. It was my fave in 2020 along with Bulgaria.

Ohhhh, I thought semi 1 would be tougher which probably means I’ll be furious that songs I thought were dead certs don’t make it in Thursday

I’ll be voting Ireland along with Finland and whoever @marbri wants!

 

[allezfred]

This would have given Iceland a run for its money in 2020.

 

[Hanna]

OMG the stage show too Absolutely loved it

 

[tony]

Yeah, that entire production was beautiful. Best performance of the day

 

[miffy]

I love France this year! Another great surprise.

I loved this song soooooo much. And so pissed our channel showed commercials. Watched it online instead. Now commentators saying they will show it later but the f***ing disrespect

 

[tony]

Johnny is really cringe when he doesn't have a script. Sigh. He's a huge fan of the show and knows his stuff.. it shouldn't be like that.

And he has his producers and staff laughing at his every cringe statement.

 

[Hanna]

I love France this year! Another great surprise.

Yeah France is my other big fave along with Ukraine!

Followed by Sweden and Finland, and then also several of those that I loved today (NED, GRE, NOR, MLD).

[Hanna]

Iceland! Yay @marbri !!

 

[airgelaal]

Iceland, as I said!

 

[marbri]

Colour me pleasantly surprised

 

[allezfred]

They surely aren’t going to save Ukraine till last are they?

 

[Hanna]

Ok can I start getting nervous now? The last 5 needs be Ukraine, Moldova, Norway, NED and Greece.
