Having Johnny Logan in the show is almost more of a cliché than the lyrics of the French song.

 

[musicfan]

Choosing some screams for the Ireland recap was funny.

 

[HarryUK]

Not Johnny Logan ruining Euphoria

15 year old me is mortified

 

[Jupiter]

Raiven's and Natalia's songs are fine.

"Veronika" is one of my fave Songs of the year. But the staging is weak :/

 

[Realest]

Voted:



(as thanks for preventing the random guy)

Good luck to everyone

 

[ekzuu]

Idk him so well but why doesnt he sing his own songs??

 

[ollibox]

I approve the song selection, Mr. Logan!

 

[Lindon]

Little bit humiliation has to be. He has to sing Loreen's song not his own.

 

[musicfan]

Euphoria is probably the most overrated Eurovision song ever.

 

[MopManMoss]

10x lol 5x 5x

 

[Biste]

I counted 3

I let the backdrop one slide, I could tolerate that one

Qualfiers from our family chat:

 

[Franzilein]

Euphoria seems to be the new Waterloo, can't escape from it not a single year

 

[jatojo]

Well done by a 90-year-old.

Voted for:

 

[Andrin]

Is it me or he sells it better than Loreen ?

 

[Lindon]

70 next week.

 

[Malagant]

My favourites tonight: Cyprus, Slovenia, Luxembourg. Those I really hope make the final.

Others who I would not mind qualifying: Serbia, Moldova, Portugal

The ones I am pretty sure will qualify: Croatia, Finland, Ireland (personally not a fan of either but they seem popular)

I have enjoyed this Semi 1 so far. Will be interesting to see if there are any upsets/surprises with the voting.

"Veronika" is one of my fave Songs of the year. But the staging is weak :/

The staging was minimalist. I still thought she carried her song better than the Portuguese singer, she has such presence on stage.

Oh yes... Chills.... Thanks, Mr. Logan!
