2023 Eurovision Semi 2 - Baby It’s Kinda Crazy

[marbri]

Eurovision acts with instruments was forever ruined for me when I found out they don't play their instruments live

 

[allezfred]

Even f*cking San Marino is better staged than Ireland. It’s not going to qualify but at least it’s not embarrassing.

Awwww
I always knew that so I’m ok with it, but what I still can’t get used to is the Post Covid rule that not all vocals have to be live now. It feels like cheating to me!

Considering all the five snoozes the night started with, I hope this gets through. Much more memorable than any of that.

 

[allezfred]

Ice skating!

 

[4rkidz]

That first semi was much better than this.

 

[airgelaal]

Skating!

 

[Ananas Astra]

Austria has to qualify because we have "A song about a famous person" on our bingo card and they are the only ones (I think) who actually sing about someone famous.

Wheeeeee skating postcard for Austria As if I needed more for them to be my fave in this semi

 

[Ananas Astra]

Austria are my favorites so far from this semi. With Slovenia and Poland.

Is that the first skating in ESC since Plushy?!

 

[allezfred]

Austria!

 

[miffy]

Whee Austria

 

[marbri]

Going to be honest. If I had't seen the video for this song and know what it's about I don't know if that performance and singing would make me vote for them.

 

[airgelaal]

Who the hell is Edgar?

 

[tony]

Yeah Austria is awesome.

I actually really liked that!

 

[allezfred]

PML at the BBC talking about all the viewers tuning in to the semis for the first time. Oh the bliss to be so ignorant!

 

[Ananas Astra]

Albanian family band is also cool. Moreover, we'll have someone from Albania over for the final so it would be cool if they qualified.

 

[PRlady]

(Sitting in college bar at U Virginia where I wouldn’t dare ask they switch one of the hoops or baseball TVs to Eurovision. Damn.)

Carry on.

 

[airgelaal]

Can there be Eurovision without Balkan folk?

 

[allezfred]

Albania only thing ethnic in this semi so they have that vote sealed up.

Leonora who represented Denmark in 2019 is a former skater who competed internationally at the junior level! But sadly she did not skate on stage.

 

[Ananas Astra]

Can there be Eurovision without Balkan folk?

no.

That was so epic! I d all the time while Mama Astra was furious and ashamed to be Russian.

 

[Hanna]

Albania was one of the best ones so far for sure.

The Finnish commentator is reminding us that Lithuania once sent We Are the Winners of Eurovision.

Something really charming about Lithuania.

Epic Flail x100000

Me: "Mom, this is going to win."
Mama Astra: "NO ****ING WAY! THIS IS HORRIBLE! EMBARRASSING!"
Me: "Chill, they brought along Plush, Plush doesn't lose."
Mama Astra during the voting: "OUTRAGEOUS! GHASTLY! EMBARRASSING! FML!"
Me:
