For the love of god, please don't attempt a musical comedy sketch at a Eurovision Semi-Final unless you're Edward af Silen.

I think we're losing Portugal, Georgia, Montenegro, Belgium and San Marino tonight.

Lithuania made me laugh it was so "Art College esoteric"

The German song is honestly what you'd get if you asked ChatGPT to write an uptempo girlbop. Why do I still unironically love it despite myself though?

My parents are loving Estonia - feel like they've got a decent chance of qualifying with that as the one "nice" song that goes through in tenth each year

Montenegro might be screwed coming after Finland...and whatever the hell that staging was!

Georgia my god, those vocals were giving Gemini.

I'm about ten years too old to get Ferto I think

Hey y'all Understandably, the pre-contest action on the forum has been a lot more lowkey this year as we're well aware everyone's got their own views about if and/or how they want to watch. No judgement from us either way but for those that are watching tonight, this is your thread for Semi Final One which will be going live in around an hour's time.

Guess I better try and find a song then…

But mama in that semi, where were the points coming from?

The New Lexican delegation plan to milk the Ashtonian hospitality for all its worth before the inevitable DNQ result

POPHOES OF THE WORLD UNITE!

New Lexico's papers are submitted girlies!

The dance pop was a nice experiment but going for something unstylishly poppy this time

How dare you say something that is true! P.S. Everyone vote for my song with male vocals pl0x

I knew bribing Jafet to rig the algorithm for me would work (eventually). This might be me being delulu but I do think Medicine has enough appeal to enough people from the pop, dance and possibly even the alt-leaning tastes who appreciate some swag that I think I'm being underestimated. Also, call me a contrarian but I'm not voting for any Fljotavik entry that Dandy's actually heard before entering it (also it's bad soz x)

Drop your suggestions in my furry, pink box

HAVING SAID THAT, I will be declaring a blood feud on anyone who blanks my song in the final!

There's already a suggestions box thread in the pinned threads for anyone to put anything which I'm about to post in. The "lets have an annonymous contest" suggestion comes around every 7-8 contests or so and it just feels like such a circular argument at this point. If we were still in the days of popularity contests happening in the lounge on the regular then I could kinda see the argument there but I'm not convinced. If I were to be blunt about it, I do think there is an unavoidable element of ego in this conversation. You sometimes get so attached to a song you've put in that finding out other people aren't that fussed about it can feel like the only reason it could have failed is due to a dark cabal of sneaky socially awkawrd gays and nerds who are excluding the dear virtuous souls putting in [insert whatever meme I said about seven minute songs with no melodies] and it must be a conspiracy that goes all the way to the top!!!1!11!!!

Flynnonda ROBBED!

Oops too late! Will send my votes in before too much time has passed.

I beg to differ, it is clearly: "I met you yesterday oh I met you yesterday when I was busy shopping shopping at Bloomingdales"

Damn right it’s Channel season baby New Lexico taking a one month associate membership of the dancebloc.

(probably forgot a bunch of good stuff so if you see this being edited in the next hour or so no you didn't)
