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

[Finnice]

Oh man, Russia was good. Forget the politics for three minutes.

 

[MichaelK]

Catchy song from Russia, but too many special effects it felt a bit forced

 

[TAHbKA]

Czech Republic - I predict half a dress at some point

 

[Aerobicidal]

Czech presentation pandering to the audience by covering the stage with pink triangles.

 

[allezfred]

So long as Czech Republic doesn't throw a shoe we should be OK.

 

[Hanna]

Catchy song from Russia, but too many special effects it felt a bit forced

Eys, I also think it was on the borderline of being too much.

 

[MichaelK]

I hope the Czechs finally qualify with this.

 

[FarFarAway]

The Czech girl is delivering an extremely shallow performance, to my mind. Voiceless. Striking difference between promo and live.

 

[wustfan]

I understand: ah ah ah icedance...

 

[allezfred]

Say Halloumi.

 

[Finnice]

CZE needs some Brezina's skating to keep it interesting. To fall or not to fall, I mean.

 

[sweetsparky]

I hope the Czechs finally qualify with this.

I hope so.

Oh, instead of playing the dress card she played with her hair

 

[Jenya]

Cyprus can't afford to host, please no votes

 

[Hanna]

Cyprus is rocking the eyeliner!

 

[sweetsparky]

Winter is coming!

 

[Aerobicidal]

All these years I've been wondering what Soundgarden would look like playing beach volleyball.

 

[FarFarAway]

Mr FFA asked me the moment Cyprus started singing: Who are those caged Kiss from Cyprus?

 

[Lara]

Czech Rep deserves to qualify given the performances so far. Russia's a given even if it was too forced.

 

[Finnice]

CYP has gone to the wrong competition.

 

[skatefan]

Liking Cyprus

 

[FarFarAway]

Now that Hungary didn't deliver I wish I could exchange the points between them and Cyprus. We both agree that we like the frontmant and that he'd better be off singing in German.

 

[Hanna]

This piece of rock'n'roll is a fantastic change among all the typical stuff, I love it! But I fear it won't do well, unfortunately.

 

[TAHbKA]

Wow, I kind of liked Cyprus

 

[my little pony]

team cyprus is finally a contender! i like the live performance better than the video

 

[sweetsparky]

I demand Cyprus (and his eyeliner) in the final

 

[FarFarAway]

Zoe, do it, go for it!!!!

 

[HisWeirness]

The lighting and camera direction for Cyprus' performance is seizure inducing. But I like it

 

[Jenya]

Has anyone figured out why Austria is singing in French?

 

[TAHbKA]

Zoe! If she does not go tone deaf it's the best song of this year

 

[Hanna]

Eek, Austria, my favorite! I mean hello, it's sung in French... Please don't let her be an awful singer.
