strong!

 

[Etanna]

So annoying that I couldn't make my old mother hate Estonia and Croatia ...

she has taste!

 

[Verjamem]

Why did they come up with this in the first place? Does anyone LOVE him? Honestly?

His boyfriend/husband

 

[soulm8]

Slay Queen!!!

and now Irelands revence

That moment when your mum takes the Karaoke too seriously.

Wishing the best of luck to all contestants today. This is a party, and in Spanish parties, even grannies have a place to have fun
For those asking about it, "Zorra" is a song about female empowerment. If you call me a "zorra" because I do what I want, because I don't care what others say... then I'm a proud "zorra
"

 

[NeoTen]

Why did they come up with this in the first place? Does anyone LOVE him? Honestly?

He's quite new, there are Danish people in production. Danes and Swedes love each other, so they thought good moment to introduce him to the ESC world. The guy looked if he had been doing Fentanyl tomorrow though. His make up girl is earning her pension.

 

[Chrisiam]

Time to get spoopy!

 

[NeoTen]

You mean exact like for Latvia on Thursday? Impressive.

Lowest odds ever to qualify in 68 years. Even betters can be wrong once. I've been using these odds, since Netflix still was putting DVD's through Deutsche Post. Can't I be wrong once?

 

[lolito]

Spain just went from 18th to 11th in the odds just after they performed.

 

[cassio]

voted Ireland

 

[NeoTen]

Ohh, the odds.
Nothing too strange, last year Kaarija had 53%.
Ukraine had 68%.

If she goes over 55% she only needs 100 jury points to win, remember the staff here hinted at that too.
We're closer to it than you think.

 

[MopManMoss]

My little brother is genuinely terrified

 

[Kev4000]

CROWN THE WITCH!!!

 

[jatojo]

What was wrong about what that Israeli commentator said about Ireland's song?

 

[soulm8]

She always delivers, unbelievable! Wow!

 

[Realest]

What did she scream in the end?

 

[Etanna]

Ireland did really well! but she's been surprisingly consistent vocally which is remarkable - the song is probably really difficult to sing. And the staging is just brilliant

 

[Gwendal]

Spain just went from 18th to 11th in the odds just after they performed.

8th now... Will it turn into a surprise top 10 with televoting – or a SuRie scenario?

 

[cassio]

Go DONS !!!
