2018 Eurovision Semi 1 Live Thread - Happy Hunger Gaymes!

[Aerobicidal]

I do not understand why Cyprus is the favorite to win. It's so generic. Competent. A costume Khokhlova would wear. Okay, maybe I understand. . . .

 

[Hanna]

Erhm, which entry?

Cool vibes, Vampires are alive, Era stupendo, The highest heights and In love for a while.

 

[Finnice]

Cyprus is @eurotrash.

 

[cocotaffy]

Meh, don't like this much.

 

[Aerobicidal]

Cyprus is @eurotrash.

Yes, and "La La Love" was a million times better as a song, IMO, even if the singing was worse.

 

[allezfred]

Cyprus was a lesson in the level of THE SEX that most US ice dance teams need.

 

[Aerobicidal]

Watching the replays, I really think that the Iceland performance could make Nikolai Morosov turn celibate. That's how unsexy it is.

I'd vote for Israel and the Czech Republic.

 

[Eden]

Please vote for Israel

Just did the same.

Now I'm trying to imagine Hawayek/Baker and McNamara/Carpenter trying to bring that level of sex and I'm--again--really glad I'm drinking.

 

[DimaToe]

I'm in the U.S. so cant vote. Anyone who votes for Cyprus or Switzerland will be my new favorites.

I think it is obvious that a euro dance team will be skating to "Fuego" next season.

 

[Finnice]

I hope Finland makes it to the final. Because Saara can sing.

 

[cocotaffy]

Finland and Israel for me but I can't vote so ...

 

[Aerobicidal]

I hope Finland makes it to the final. Because Saara can sing.

I think they very, very clearly deserve to make it.

All the off-key vocals are making me excited to see Zola Jesus live tonight. I'm not all that picky about high-quality singing in general but hearing high-quality live singing will be a nice experience after watching this semi.

 

[SHARPIE]

10 votes cast for Ireland!

 

[DimaToe]

Is it just me or does the host in the black suit look like a Portuguese Sandra Bullock?

 

[Lorac]

Planet Portugal - I have no words!!!

 

[Eden]

LOL, that exactly what was said on the Israeli TV...

 

[Hanna]

It's the Spanish Virtue/Moir.

 

[Aerobicidal]

It's the Spanish Virtue/Moir.

Needs more facecrotch.

 

[Lara]

Okay, here we go...

 

[cocotaffy]

Austria, I blame you @allezfred

 

[cocotaffy]

Lithuania but yeah for Israel

 

[Aerobicidal]

Yay, Israel and Czech Republic make it (not surprisingly). Now if Hungary and Solvenia both make it on Thursday I'll be pleased. And shocked.

ETA: Also happy for Finland and Ireland for the queer factor even though I dislike both of the songs.

 

[Hanna]

WTF, I'm pretty sure I only voted for 4 or 5 of these.

Belgium

Estonia

 

[Lorac]

I though Ireland were going to be disappointed again - but well done them!!!

 

[cocotaffy]

Yeah for Finland and the last one is .... Ireland, happy for all the Irish FSUers

 

[Finnice]

Israel, Cze, Finland!!!!

 

[Finnice]

I hope Netta can get it tuned to Saturday.

 

[Aerobicidal]

I love how every time they show the replay of the Czech song, it's awkward non-coordinated ass shaking of three skinny dudes that don't really have asses. I relate.
