[ESC United Mod Team]

I really do love AJ, though.

 

[Mainshow]

Even though can´t vote for and has to compete in the "bigger semi final", I think that seeing , and can vote for them ain´t bad at all.

 

[Leydan]

It was very very quick for sure, but I personally enjoyed it a lot. I feel like a lot of people would have needed subtitles though.

 

[HarryUK]

I loved all the British meme sayings they dropped in like 'fancy another one' and 'Chanel!!!'

 

[0scar]

So I will be able to vote for Cha Cha Cha????
I couldn't care less for the Netherlands this year tbh, I already feel like I'm gonna be immensely annoyed by our entry so just hope most of my favourites will end up in the first semi final as well

Don´t forget (Poles biggest immigrant group) and (sizeable Polish population as well).

 

[EscGeek]

a little prediction: others will think semi 1 is stronger, but i will disagree

 

[Leydan]

it seems got a fairly decent draw also, although it's typically hard for them to ever get a bad one

's top 3 for semi final 2 is basically confirmed with and in that semi

 

[MopManMoss]

Rylan really looks like an alien I hope he sticks to semi commentary personally

 

[HarryUK]

I am thrilled I can vote for but sad I can't for or ((((((

 

[Preuss]

Lmao poor Ireland

Yeah our 12 & 10 in the televote is already locked down. Australia and Cyprus will probably feature also, but depends more on the song.

 

[theditz83]

I'm so torn on which Semi I'd rather try and get tickets for now... Why couldn't you put all my traditional faves in the same semi, huh?

AJ cannot be one of the hosts, cos literally the whole of Europe will be like...

They should have allocated the big 6's voting semi finals based on voting history like they did with the semi final countries tbh but OH WELL

I liked her a lot though, I thought they were funny together. Especially this moment:

Her laugh.

However, yes. Not to hate on the accents, but they'll probably need to have people with a more 'accessible' accent.

 

[HarryUK]

The fact that the ESC channel posted a Davina gif a few months back and they referenced that same gif tonight.... she'd better be one of the hosts!

 

[AlekS]

Our ESC community is speculating that The Hardkiss will be among Ukrainian interval acts or their frontwoman Julia Sanina will be one of the hosts. Julia has already judged Vidbir and appeared in the allocation draw video tonight.

You´ll never really know, though.
I can still remember gave 12 pts to , 10 pts to and 8 pts to in the semi final back in 2019 - despite (Sergey Lazarev) taking part (despite us having a big diaspora) . even were Top 5 (and higher than )

+ who knows if Liverpool hosting attracts "more" (non-diaspora) viewers to watch/vote?

But yeah, it´s pretty clear that these three countries will probably turn up in your Top 10 (or higher)

 

[Mainshow]

Julia Sanina

She even was part of tonight´s allocation draw - her being part of Eurovision 2023 might be quite likely... I´d prefer her/The Hardkiss as an intervall act, though
