Even the little kids in Iceland they are interviewing on the news don't think Iceland will make it out of the semis. All ages interviewed, I think 90% say they won't be in the final and the other 10% I think only say yes with positive hesitation

 

[miffy]

Wheeee

It’s not out of the question that they will qualify, but it will be touch and go.

 

[allezfred]

Nessun dorma! Wheeee!

 

[marbri]

These dancers look 10 ft tall.

I felt they needed help from jury but apparently that was the one time they had technical issues with sound and couldn't hear each other so my expectations went down after that.

[miffy]

I’m a little relieved the UK can’t vote tonight. I wouldn’t be able to choose, too many good ones tonight!

Now for Latvia and their and

Bringing THE SEX quite literally

Yeah no kidding!

Love the beat and the groove, reminds me a bit of Turkey 2003! But slightly off key, my biggest pet peeve.

 

[Peepsquick]

Opened with a bang!

 

[marbri]

Based 0on what I have read the past week I am going to assume this is the "family friendly" version? Otherwise I don't understand the controversy after groups like Hatari and Måneskin

 

[marbri]

Now for Latvia and their and

Have seen these guys on SM a lot and love them

 

[Hanna]

Sucking up to the Italians with those suits!

I love how you can make a song about absolutely anything. This is ridiculous lyrics at its finest.

 

[allezfred]

More sex themed songs. Looks like everyone is horny after two years of Covid.

 

[beepbeep]

The YouTube captions during the song just read "it's sexy"

 

[my little pony]

someday im going to be embarrassed at how much I like Latvia

 

[miffy]

I’m loving the fun songs this year. I want Latvia and Moldova to go through tonight

Or trying to play last year's game... which is a lost cause, nobody is going to be hotter than Maneskin.

 

[allezfred]

Lithuania looking classy after the first two songs.

 

[marbri]

Lithuania with a bit of France vibes from last year.
eta.. but not as good

 

[wustfan]

I hope Lithuania makes it into the final
