I know Tom Dice did the same, he on the little podium, his backings on the big all in the back so no one would notice
don't think it's a violation

Re: SEMI FINAL 1 - DISCUSSION - 21:00 CET

Sorry if this has already been mentioned earlier in the thread but did anyone else pick up on the "shadow" singers that Cyprus and Greece both used last night? Clearly both were planted there to bolster the flimsy vocals both girls had to offer, and I suppose according to EV rules had to be present on the stage. I just thought that putting them at the side of the stage in near darkness (and clearly issuing instructions to both not to make any movements that would draw viewers' attention to them) was a pretty underhand tactic to use to improve both song's chances. I don't think they'll get away with it so easily in the final. That aside, I was chuffed to bits that Hungary made it through. Big fan of that song!

I don't see the problem? It's allowed according to rules, and also it would indeed look weird for the whole show if they would just stand on the side in total light.

And this is not a singing contest, as long as they sing alright, it's the songs that are the most important thing.

It's not a violation, on contrary it's just logical.. otherwise the shows would look kinda strange and less "show-like".

Thanks for the link Mozz. I'm watching now, but I missed Joan. How did she do tonight?

It's so hard to resist actual watching.

Re: SEMI FINAL 1 - DISCUSSION - 21:00 CET

Loreen looks like all over the place, disorganized.

Joan: I keep my mouth shut on this one.

I've learnt one thing and that is not to cheer too soon anymore for my country's entries.

In that case pretend to be me and how I would feel about it

Is it me or are there so many black themes in semi 2? Outfits, lights etc. Semi 1 was more colorful.

Re: SEMI FINAL 1 - DISCUSSION - 21:00 CET

Damn, I've overcooked my veggies due to watching this.

One of the criteria in the future for receiving asylum in Norway should be: can you sing properly?

My lord.

Re: SEMI FINAL 1 - DISCUSSION - 21:00 CET

LOL you'll never guess what Tooji did at the end of his performance. Cypriotgirl will HATE it and I think even Miguel will hate it.

Hmmm, I really don't know how you feel about it Matt, but if you would like to share it: I have the telephone number of someone in San Marino who you can share all your feelings with...

One of the interval acts is an artist that

some of you deeply dislike.

Re: SEMI FINAL 1 - DISCUSSION - 21:00 CET

They even rehearse the participants' emotional responses when they hear they've qualified for the final. Kisses, standing up from the couches etc.

Weird.
