Another 18 acts to come on Thursday along with Spain, France, Germany, Italy, UK and Israel already in the final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Czech Republic will do very well too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) So it's Greece, Belarus, Serbia, Cyprus, Estonia, Czech Republic, Australia, Iceland, San Marino (YAS!) and Slovenia that have qualified for the final. Slovenia were absolutely horrific, no idea how they made it through. Edited May 14, 2019 by The Naitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooky Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 Serhat gets better every Eurovision. That beautiful bald man is like a fine wine. Chuffed for San Marino. I loved Czech Republic also and can see them in a top 5 spot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahid khan Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Glad San Marino got through. Tremendous entertainment. With the exception of Belgium not getting through, I felt the correct acts progressed from semi final 1. Slovenia’s song was nice I thought however it was a poor performance and could’ve done with more than they 2 just standing awkwardly with the guy randomly playing his guitar then keyboard. Roll on Thursday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 First time in years (as last year was a bit disappointing) that I've not heard any songs prior to the semi finals, from the clips shown the better songs seem to be in the 2nd semi final. Wasn't overly impressed with anyone in the first semi, obviously Australia have spent a load of money, song is just a disney number with a bit of added Kate Bush warbling, Czech rep was ok, Iceland was decent, but apart form that all a bit samey safe stuff - hoping for better tomorrow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchBorderer Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Normally I'd request support for the Dutch entry, but I've made the mistake of promising my girlfriend we'll get tickets for next years final if it's held in the Netherlands. Considering I will be out of pocket a fair few quid at least, go.... pretty much everyone other than Duncan Laurence. Good song though, odds at the bookies have fallen over the past two days so it's gonna be up there.

The Naitch Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Making it through tonight were... North Macedonia, Netherlands, Albania, Sweden, Russia, Azerbaijan, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland and Malta. Some shockers have made it through there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooky Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Netherlands reminds me of Belgium a couple years ago. Big bookies favourite, but a bit shit and incredibly dull when you actually see it performed on stage. Don’t think it was helped by coming immediately after Norway, which I loved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid table mediocrity for them, I think. Just saw the running order for tomorrow night. The U.K. are 16th which isn’t bad but we’re on after Norway and Iceland are after us so might be easily forgotten sandwiched between those two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the UK won't be propping up the table this year; think Germany's nailed on for last place by a country mile. Have to say the presenters as a group are better this year than that Portuguese lot, but f**k me if the guy with the glasses isn't annoying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooky Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Do we have a favourite for tonight? In terms of a good tune, it’s Czech Republic. In terms of Eurovision, I’m San Marino all the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they have a good chance. Their odds have shortened quite a lot over the past couple weeks. Switzerland also seem to be sneaking up the odds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
