2018 Eurovision Semi 1 Live Thread - Happy Hunger Gaymes!

[Aerobicidal]

We've reached a new low. What the heck was that gross scar on his back

He's been viciously thorned for years.

 

[nimi]

Ooooh Estonian ice queen!

Didn't like the beginning but it got better the second the dress magic started.

 

[Hanna]

Estonia's dress

 

[Finnice]

EstoniaI love opera but....

 

[DimaToe]

Well Estonia seems to be our first contender for the win tonight.

 

[cocotaffy]

She's no Maria Callas but she could compete with the Mocking jay from Hunger Games for the better dress.

 

[Finnice]

The dress is fab, yeah.

 

[Aerobicidal]

Who in the universe would listen to this Estonian song by choice?

(Now watch it be used in skating next season.)

It really does has Leonova written all over it...

 

[Jenya]

Cypriot TV says Estonia's dress cost 63,000 euros?

 

[cocotaffy]

She better qualify then. And the Bulgarian answer to Gwen Stefani. Everyone is slightly or grossly out of tune tonight.

 

[Aerobicidal]

"A Love Beyond the Bones" would be a good theme for Grant Hochstein and Caroline Zhang's wedding (if it hasn't already happened and they haven't already chosen a theme).

 

[nimi]

These Bulgarian backing vocals sound so fab, too bad they only appear towards the end of the song.

 

[Finnice]

I have often liked Macedonia...

 

[beepbeep]

I kind of want her shoes...

 

[Jenya]

Macedonian entry keeps telling us to "go deeper"

I kind of like it though

 

[cocotaffy]

Again, out of tune and that has to be the most unflattering jacket ever. Not sure I'll listen to much Macedonian reggae after that.

 

[Aerobicidal]

Dear Macedonia,

None of us ever wanted to know what a collaboration between UB40 and Wilson Phillips would be like.

Signed,

The Entire Population of the World

 

[nimi]

I was so bored/distracted with this one I totally missed the mid-song dress reveal

 

[cocotaffy]

Abort Abort, put back the jacket on it's even worse now

 

[Finnice]

I kind of want her shoes...

You would look fab and tall in them!

 

[SHARPIE]

Eurovision is dead to me this year due to foolishly booking a holiday during the final.

@allezfred, if you are watching BBC though, can you Facebook message me/text the number I need to text or phone to vote for Ireland?

 

[nimi]

This Austrian oops Croatian song (melody) is like a pale imitation of that "You better stop" song from the 80s

What was her name? Sam something?

*checks YT* Yeah, Sam Brown was the one I was thinking of.

 

[Aerobicidal]

This is a total ripoff of "Fallin'" by Alicia Keys, which makes me think of Castelli and Tran, which makes me glad I'm drinking wine at 3:00 p.m. on a Tuesday.

 

[cocotaffy]

Boring but in tune so there is that I guess. She reminds me of that actress from Saved by the Bell who played in that hilariously bad stripper movie.

 

[DimaToe]

Wow...Croatia my favorite so far. I didn't care for this song (at all) before this performance.

 

[Finnice]

CRO is pretty and the song booooring.

 

[Aerobicidal]

Boring but in tune so there is that I guess. She reminds me of that actress from Saved by the Bell who played in that hilariously bad stripper movie.

Excuse me!?!??!?! Refer to Showgirls by its proper name, please!

 

[beepbeep]

The Czech Macklemore indeed

Edit: commercial break apparently. I'm on the youtube stream (which is not geoblocked!)

Excuse me!?!??!?! Refer to Showgirls by its proper name, please!

The last film every banned in Ireland (due to the rape scene).
