2016 Eurovision Semi 1 - Thunder and Lightning - it's getting Exciting!

[Finnice]

How many qualify from each semi?

10 & the big 6, together 26

 

[Finnice]

Hungary is a dish.

 

[Lara]

Why on earth is the Eurovision YouTube stream blocked in Canada? They don't even air it here (I know the US will have it on Logo). I can watch it on eurovision.tv but still.

That's some raspy voice from Hungary.

 

[Aerobicidal]

I'm never leaving the house again without a chorus of whistlers and a man in a dress banging a huge drum to announce my arrival everywhere.

 

[FarFarAway]

Hungarian man, that bearded brute, I gave you points, do me a favour, sing actually. Other than that, his looks and his jeans are definitely striking a chord with me. At least this. Mr FFA imagines him promoting Calvin Klein somehow.

 

[TAHbKA]

Hungarian guy went for a safe bet: talking rather than singing, what are the odds to be off key?

 

[Hanna]

Whistling into mics and on key, gotta love it!

Thank you Hungary! This was so much better than the previous stuff it's not even funny. Although I'm a bit at the whistlers' choreo.

 

[marbri]

at how seriously those three take their whistling.

 

[Finnice]

Hungary's song is odd.

 

[wustfan]

Clan I take him home? The song is not half bad either...

 

[sweetsparky]

Hungary is a dish.

I won´t mind him in my menu

 

[Jenya]

Hungary is but that's about it

 

[FarFarAway]

Lightning strikes me dead. Am I seeing what I am seeing?

 

[Aerobicidal]

So the Croatian woman just hugged a tree, placed a flower on a statue's crotch, had a piece of cake, and went to the library. These preview videos are quite voidy. . . .

 

[Finnice]

Ok Croatia, where can I buy the cape?

 

[my little pony]

wow it's a christmas tree skirt around a transformer. i hope she doesnt have to pee.

 

[marbri]

it was a really pretty tree

 

[TAHbKA]

I expect a second dress change for Croatia

 

[sweetsparky]

Hungary is but that's about it

I am shallow, so right now I would throw some to watch him in the final.

 

[Aerobicidal]

She's wearing the stage curtain for a gay version of A Midsummer Night's Dream garnished with goth ribbon candy.

 

[FarFarAway]

Croatian lady is even more grotesque than in the promo video

 

[sweetsparky]

I expect a second dress change for Croatia

I bet there will be three.

 

[Hanna]

Awww Croatia's song was one of my favorites this year but I'm not feeling the performance.

At least she's less out of tune than most of the previous singers.

 

[wustfan]

This is what I call flailing arms

 

[TAHbKA]

And the transposition number 1. It's obligatory in Eurovision, of course.
@kosenjka claims the Croatian singer has Morozov's choreography. She should know

 

[MichaelK]

I love Croatia's song, but I'm not so sure about the staging ...

 

[sweetsparky]

No more dress changes, I am so dissapointed

 

[FarFarAway]

Oh God, I'd sell my soul right now to be in that car with Mans.

 

[Jenya]

Verka

 

[kosjenka]

Croatia has Morozov arm choreography.

I just find the singer so empty. No charisma at all.
