Thank you for that one - at least something to laugh about before I will cry up this evening for having to say goodbye to some of my faves in the semi.

@ mauve I‘m a soccer fan as well so I know what you mean. Will enjoy this too. But now... Semi 1 is waiting :-)

Not sure if it fits here but the documentary part of the show is absolutely cringy. Tooo, toooooo bad. I was only grimacing.

Yeah it was. The 'history of Eurovision' has been done too much and the 'Planet Portugal' was just.. yeah

I love the postcards though! The visuals aren't as good as I hoped. I really do not get why they went with the rectangular-like visuals again, just like last year. It looks really cheap to me.
The flag seaweed thingies are cool though

That's the shit I'm living for - Everyone just having a good time.

Wow, the video quality on the official Eurovision channel is so bad... I can see so many stripes in every performance, it just doesn't look clean... Hope this won't be the case with all final videos, because on TV everything looks amazing.

Czech Republic was at #1 for a day or two as well!

I just went off the data that showed me the odds at the end of each day I'm not shocked it was 1st at some point . Ridiculous how almost 1/5 of the songs this year have been ranked 1st

 

[tsegaye]

The first half of the final seems to be very ballad heavy with the second being very up-tempo heavy right now. If an up-tempo song gets drawn from SF2 in the first half I think it has the potential to stand out a lot and gain a lot of televotes, for example , , or if they qualify.
