Judging from what I've seen Armenia is a sure NQ if everything stays as it is tonight.Armenia and Romania 00? That's some surprising press poll result.was 4th in the first rehearsal, did they really show that much improvement?
The Netherlands improved his vocals.

tbh in press polls I feel people vote more with their faves or their own country, rather than being total unbiased. I the netherlands suppose it sounded good, but Idk if it was so mesmerizingly good that it should get such a jump and lead. Switzerland and Norway sounded and looked better than from rehearsals apparently, Sweden ofc sounded great. Even Moldova sounded really good. Also surprised Austria came so low...

I always take press polls with a grain of salt cuz they are overly exposed to rehearsals and they get used to the 'wow' moments of performances, that also explains the slide in Azerbaijan. Then again they might at first get disappointed with
staging and then get used to it by watching it over and over.
for some unknown reason i like this one more

I am taking issue with the hosts, with Azzi in particular. He is so full of himself and so rude.
Making Miki's performance all about his good looks was so much cringe, but also don't like the constant reminder that "they didn't" win last year referring to Cyprus. I don't recall a contest when the runner-up was constantly reminded of not winning, which makes me especially sympathetic towards Cyprus which never won so far.
Also the orange carpet host was drooling on the sight of many good looking fellows, also trying to tackle Miki ("Barcelona lost 0-4" - Miki from Barcelona: "Maaaan, why do you need to tell me that?"), trying to tackle Dutch fans because he thought The Netherlands were the runner-up last year.
Then they reminded the favourites of their status according to the odds to make them feel uncomfortable.
WHY!?!
For tonight I expect Azzi to bounce in Sergey's lap or fondle Chingiz' chest. Also he will be there to interview Mahmood and pull out a sexy foto for his own personal pleasure in front of the audience.

Really love the show so far. The stage is awesome and the production level is really high. Even the hosts are decent too (I am one of the rare people who are not irritated by them, I guess 
)
I am satisfied with the results of the first semi. Most songs that I care about managed to deliver and most of my favorites managed to pass There were some positive surprises and some negative ones too. Will talk more about that in the dedicated topics.
I will watch tonight's semi with even bigger joy

Then you haven't seen what's REAL rude and full of himself. Assi is annoying but definitely not rude or full of himself.
You do realize that everything he says was scripted by other people hired by the EBU + delegations were perfectly aknowledged
What did prevent Miki from saying "I'm not about good looks" right there?
Maybe because that pic was posted by him. And Spanish delegation simply milks those votes.
Did he grab someone by the butt? Or made sexual offers to some guy repeatedly? Now that would be rude
Oh, and comparing drooling to harassment of women is ridiculous as well.
If I think that Azerbaijani guy is hot on some picture or I like Miki's body (even knowing that he's straight) I will say about it. Maybe even to their eyes in polite joking manner.
Why for his? For my pleasure too!
Let me remind you that these pics had been posted by performers themselves. Why don't you blame them in whoring around? Like it's something bad, anyway.

I think the supporters of the sexual objectification of males just found an advocate
