2021 Eurovision Semi 2 - Flo Rida Getting Low In The Low Countries

[Ananas Astra]

The Finns are wasted already
Loved how one of them just downed a bottle of beer when it came to the final spot.

 

[marbri]

Wow! In semi 1 I guessed all the NQ's. Tonight I am surprised. Far too many "divas" in Beyonce knockoffs for my taste.

 

[Finnice]

Finally Finland! Happy for ICE, SUI and BUL, too.

 

[Hanna]

The Finnish commentator was about to get seriously pissed. Like literally angry. But he got saved last minute.

 

[beepbeep]

Again, leaving the weird entry to be announced last.

 

[Ananas Astra]

Gonna be a great Final!

 

[Finnice]

Mr Finnice will be happy to watch Greece.
Good night, folks!

I don't remember ... did Germany make it on Tuesday?

 

[marbri]

But to those who helped my little unlucky nerds make it to the final! 2/3 of those I voted for got through, I did try Denmark

 

[miffy]

I was surprised at a few tonight. The first semi was easier to predict. But I won’t complain about anything as Finland made it.

Looking forward to Saturday!

They get through automatically

 

[nickp]

San Marino made it to the finals! Can someone reschedule Flo Rida’s flight and extend his hotel booking?

 

[allezfred]

Moldova was my only WTF moment of the qualifiers. So glad Denmark is out. Found it really bland.

 

[beepbeep]

How many Beyonce/Eleni Foureira clones got to the finals?

We have Serbian Destiny's Child, Beyoncé from San Marino and several Lady Gagas.

This is truly the spirit of Eurovision if I've ever seen it

 

[Ananas Astra]

Oh yeah, and Bulgarian Billie Eilish.

 

[MsZem]

It is not.

Verka is the spirit of Eurovision. So is the the 2019 Switch Song, the man in the hamster wheel, the grannies baking bread, costume changes, Lordi winning, Dana International, and the precursor to many great things, Dschinghis Khan in 1979. Knockoff versions of American singers are absolutely not it.

I only saw semifinal 1, and feel like Russia and Ukraine were the most Eurovision.

For Semi 2, see Iceland and Switzerland. Although I do have a soft spot for Flo Rida showing up to rep for San Marino of all places.

I am pretty sure all vocals used to have to be live and you could only have 6 people on stage (they didn’t have to be visible) but I noticed a few performances with 5 or 6 people on stage but not singing and clearly not all vocals are live... when did this change and why?

This year, artists were allowed to use pre-recorded vocals to reduce the number of people on stage . Not sure if it worked as planned...

I'd really like to know how these graphics look live.

Apparently, the dancers barely see anything through the fabric:

Quite impressive, imho!

I don't remember ... did Germany make it on Tuesday?

Luckily for them, they belong to the Big 5, so they are spared the qualifying process. I'm afraid that it would be quite tough for Jendrik to make it to the final.

Moldova was my only WTF moment of the qualifiers. So glad Denmark is out. Found it really bland.

It was my wtf-moment, too. I put the blame on Kirkorov's behind-the-scenes shenanigans . I'd rather see Austria instead. Or - I know! - Denmark .

Thank you Shah! I don’t think it worked either, at all, they had 5 dancers anyway... and in some cases it sounded they were singing over a recording of themselves which is surely cheating. It just didn’t feel right to me.
