May 12, 20169 yr We've just been live to Mel in Stockholm on the One Show, saw Jedward on the screens! And Ira Losco and Barei got interviewed on prime-time BBC One! *.* Although Mel did say we haven't been on the left hand side of the scoreboard since Jessica Garlick which is of course typical BBC!
May 12, 20169 yr Yeah they play about 40mins of past entries from that evenings participants before the warm up act. You'll be pleased to know Ryan that the warm up act perform LaLaLove and it was very well received.

I don't think Norway would be much of a 'shock' DNQ, I've always found it rather average. Everyone needs to CALM DOWN about Bulgaria (yes maybe anything could happen given Iceland, but the praise I've seen for Poli has been a lot more universal).
May 12, 20169 yr Prediction: 01 ► Latvia: Justs - Heartbeat 02 ► Poland: Michał Szpak - Color Of Your Life 03 ► Switzerland: Rykka - The Last Of Our Kind 04 ► Israel: Hovi Star - Made Of Stars 05 ► Belarus: IVAN - Help You Fly 06 ► Serbia: Sanja Vučić ZAA - Goodbye (Shelter) 07 ► Ireland: Nicky Byrne - Sunlight 08 ► Macedonia: Kaliopi - Dona 09 ► Lithuania: Donny Montell - I've Been Waiting For This Night 10 ► Australia: Dami Im - Sound Of Silence 11 ► Slovenia: ManuElla - Blue And Red 12 ► Bulgaria: Poli Genova - If Love Was A Crime 13 ► Denmark: Lighthouse X - Soldiers Of Love 14 ► Ukraine: Jamala - 1944 15 ► Norway: Agnete - Icebreaker 16 ► Georgia: Nika Kocharov and Young Georgian Lolitaz - Midnight Gold 17 ► Albania: Eneda Tarifa - Fairytale 18 ► Belgium: Laura Tesoro - What's The Pressure I do hope Norway makes it through, sad to see that's not a certain qualifier.
May 12, 20169 yr Decided on a whim to watch this, having not heard any entries yet (apart from Ireland, which is...limp to say the least). Hope there'll be a fair few gems as per most years~
May 12, 20169 yr Well that's one way to write a sharp comedy song... Petra's doing a perfect job. Although... listing all the languages when everything's in English this year, how sad. :(
May 12, 20169 yr Petra <3 Mans is a great hosting choice too, seeing as he actually is a seasoned TV presenter in Sweden and all and not just a singer who can't present.
May 12, 20169 yr I'm being FORCED to watch this but that opening performance has made me already feel less resentful. I tried very hard to remain straight faced and annoyed at Mr D* putting it on but I couldn't help but smile a huge grin through all of that.
May 12, 20169 yr I seem to be in a minority in thinking g that the opening act was terrible. Ah well.
May 12, 20169 yr Latvia / Justs - Heartbeat / That was quite odd. The production is fantastic, but I'm not convinced how great it is as a whole song. It definitely picked up towards the end and is one of the more interesting songs I've heard so far. Gonna have to hear that a few more times to decide exactly how I feel but pretty good opener. 7/10 ------------------------------------------------ 01 Latvia / Justs - Heartbeat / 7/10
May 12, 20169 yr Gosh, he's rather PASSIONATE isn't he I think on an empty stage he has to be. He's performing the hell out of this and he has a lovely commanding voice. That better get him through, another incredible turn from Latvia.
May 12, 20169 yr 3/10 Latvia The song was really good but gosh those vocals were bad! Lol best joke so far
