The guy who tested positive put a message in instagram stories at link above. So so gutted for them, they had a great song last year they didn't get to do and now this year is ruined for them as well . I think Daði has previously said this was the last time, it just wasn't in the stars for them

It is really bad luck. Still think they will qualify easily though.

I really hope they do so that this stings a bit less.
It's tough on this end as a fan and takes the wind out of my excitement but fingers crossed !

I think they are nailed in for a Top 5 finish. Alright the song isn’t quite as good as last year, but it’s still a really good song.

Went to hear some more by the awesome Ukraine and.... dear god...

I still like their song last night but probably a good idea if this doesnt make the rounds before the final

I wish I could say encouraging words about this year's Polish song, but I can't.

Haha, indeed! Well, that's what you get when the boss of the national broadcaster picks their favourite employee as the Eurovision entry .

No, this is so heartbreaking!

I will PM my votes tomorrow after SEMI 2. The songs are quite different in the live performance.
This is absolutely something I need right now. And we are indeed having a party chez amis on Saturday night. Of course respecting the current **** rules.
I wish I had something very tasteless to wear. At least I can have high heels and lots of makeup. Lipstick, here we come!

My daughter up in the arctic is dressing all trashy Azerbajan style for their virtual party. I have cocktails for us ( even though mid afternoon for us )

I would look better in Malta style. But whee for all the Eurovision parties! We need trash, glitter and cocktails!

@marbri , am trying to send you a PM and failing.

Hmm, let me check my settings

 

[4rkidz]

What a shame about Iceland, wow so much hate for Malta on social media, people are mean! So lucky that Ukraine is doing their current song as her voice doesn’t really shine in other songs I think I will stick with my Russian woman first but will keep Ukraine up there as so different.

Queen Maxima talks to NikkieTutorials:

Nikkie has been quite a surprise as host.
Absolutely holding her own on stage, next to much more experienced people and shining through the video skits and interviews, which is her medium so nothing new here.

She and Chantal could dump the other two and run the final by themselves.

I just got an email that Eurovision is streaming on Peacock!

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

I think I saw it on Hulu too but it wasn't streaming live.

Yes, Nikkie is very experienced running her own show and being responsible for the content she puts out. She built her own brand and her on-camera ability played a large part in that. So to me it's not surprising that this is something she can do well.

I just heard that Johnny Logan is going to perform in my village. July 24th. We have a tradition of a village fiesta/concert organized by our local singer/songwriter/Deli owner.
He said to me last time we met that there will be a superstar. Well - Johnny Logan here.
I guess I will be going (if it is possible to organize outdoor concerts in July here).

If you had been reading this thread properly, you would have seen I posted about that at the beginning of the week.

So the finale is Saturday?

So the finale is Saturday?

The Grand Final is always on a Saturday and always starts at 9pm CET. Hopefully without Madonna this time round the show will finish in under four hours.

 

[allezfred]

A reminder to anyone wanting to vote in our FSU poll to email me your Top 10 out of all of this year's 39 entries by midnight tonight wherever you may be.

I had happily forgotten the Madonna gig.
