I wish all of you a great evening. May your favourites reach the final

I´m gonna lock out here before the semi starts, I wanna completely concentrate on the performances.

 

[midnightsun]

Diodato was my #2 in 2020, almost on par with my #1. So sad I couldn‘t watch it then, so glad I am able to watch it now!

 

[midnightsun]

My only fav in Semi 1 are The Netherlands, all of my other favs are in Semi 2.

Besides NL, I hope that Norway (but this is quite sure), Iceland and Latvia will qualify!

[aef]

The songs I care most for tonight are from Lithuania, Ukraine, Netherlands, Austria and Slovenia. Ukraine and Netherlands will probably make it, but the other three probably won't. I can only hope for a miracle because I don't want to loose all my faves.

Omg I totally forgot about little !! So I will vote for and . They are both also among my favourite countries outside Eurovision.

I haven't listened to any entries but Albania in 2019 before mid-March (until all entries got released) and honestly, it wasn't a better experience than knowing the entries step-by-step throughout Eurovision season.

Lucky you. Each year I intend to do exactly this but by the end of February I‘m giving in at the latest…

i wish i had that self restraint, in many ways im looking forward to this contest losing its grip on my life on sunday

Tbh it’s not self-restraint, it’s simply the lack of time. I have a small kid. I literally can’t manage to find time and peace to listen to all those songs. Also, it doesn’t even cross my mind mostly cause there are other priorities now.

So in some way I kinda miss going through entire esc season, with all NFs and dramas.

But it is also nice to watch the show like a regular viewer. It gives you a different stance.

 

[babadabada]

Tonight, I only care for Ukraine, The Netherlands, Portugal, Iceland and Norway. I am confident for all except for Iceland but would be very sad if they failed to qualify.

To a lesser extent, I’d like to see Austria, Armenia, Greece, Slovenia, Moldova, Albania Lithuania in the Grand Final.

Still wonder how Bulgaria will look live.

So, my fav for tonight are :
: really want

: need to see more

Could surprise me :

 

[randajad]

I do not care about anyone tonight except doomed Slovenia, but go Croatia too because neighbours and Lithuania because crazy. Others can, respectfully, choke.

So DJ Astronaut is TIX

Don't really buy it. Smells like something a PR company has cooked up. I would hardly think they would be so stupid to remove their masks in public on the night of the semi final, but who knows? They did make a song about yellow space wolves.

 

[crashworld]

It's 2.15am here. Wanted to catch some rest earlier on, but barely slept for 30mins and woke up. Now going to do some online shopping before tuning in. I am so going to be a zombie at work tomorrow.

Norway is my 39th Tix being DJ Astronaut would make it my 40th

Ok everyone now you have to vote for Monika liu because kirkorov is not legally allowed to enter Lithuania

 

[musicfan]

Prior to the first semi I support these which I'd be ok with winning at this point, but it's unlikely any of them will. And yes I know that most think Iceland won't qualify, I don't care.

Iceland
Lithuania
Netherlands
Norway

Otherwise...
Well composed song, cool

Slovenia


Catchy, she's cute

Croatia


Most annoying award

Switzerland

Our commentator (ESC 2017 host) is commenting from a bomb shelter:

Why he's not in Turin? Originally PBC wanted to send him, but he's a volunteer

To all Ukrainians: you can watch ESC in a shelter on your phone. On PBC site or via Diia app. Though, it's very calm today *fingers crossed*.
