Eurovision 2022: Semi Final ONE (20:00 BST)

[dmlaw]

Another boring one. Where are the bangers?

The next one is about a train.

 

[ButterTart]

When are the good songs please

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh Imagine S Club being offered Eurovision and they had to ditch one

 

[RS]

I loved the Netherlands.

 

[Nancy]

That's not a real drone, is it?

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Is she CRYING?

 

[ButterTart]

VERTICAL GUITAR I’M IN

 

[Ellie]

What the actual fuck is this?

 

[GNL]

I like this a lot. Quite BLAND for Eurovision though. Could have given us an angsty alt pop lightshow at least.

 

[straightorbroken]

The Moldovian Tell Me Ma was not on my wishlist.

 

[Nancy]

YAY! Now this is the type of Eurovision madness I love!

 

[ButterTart]

I have slept on this song so far. I love it.

 

[dmlaw]

Is she CRYING?

I think she might have heard the first seven songs.

 

[ManicKangaroo]

This is not the banger I wanted

 

[Lucille]

Netherlands was a a nervous start but finished beautiful, hoping she gives it more welly in the final.

 

[straightorbroken]

Imagine being in the fitting rooms with him going "oh that's the one".

 

[AGinAg (38)]

DRIVEL BUT NOT THE WORST

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

ATROCIOUS

 

[FetchFugly]

Tasseltastic.

 

[RS]

This is as hateful as Transnistria.

 

[funky]

Are people cheering this unironically?

 

[Ellie]

How exactly does Moldova do their National selection?

 

[straightorbroken]

The rap is very Lee 5,6,7,8.

 

[Wendy the goat]

This is awful but the first one I've actually enjoyed

 

[Nancy]

This is FAB!

It reminds me of the one that woman sang who was dressed all in silver and had like an upside down trophy on her head.

 

[win_the_game]

He looks like a skateboarder yet to realise he's three decades past his teens.

 

[dmlaw]

At least Moldova manages to be wacky without being actively repellent, unlike Latvia. I actually quite like it.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

sending some local peasant singing an Y*va & L*nda plaigrised rip-off would've been less noise and a much cheaper option than this.

 

[ButterTart]

I demand that this qualify

 

[straightorbroken]

How exactly does Moldova do their National selection?

It's certainly not a casting couch.

 

[Star]

Oh god, listening to Moldova is like listening to my neighbours 10 hour parties.

 

[GNL]

If I were these guys I'd be pissed off that Ukraine are going to win with the same song.

 

[Mother Superior]

How can people say Lithuania won't qualify when there is utter tripe like this on the menu??

 

[win_the_game]

Oh god, listening to Moldova is like listening to my neighbours 10 hour parties.

Interspersed with THIS?

 

[straightorbroken]

The suits were slightly Suggs.

 

[ButterTart]

The most charismatic performance since Albania, not that it’s been an overly packed category.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

I've made my peace that is probably qualifying but doesn't mean I have to sit through it in the Final.

 

[Penelope]

How can people say Lithuania won't qualify when there is utter tripe like this on the menu??

WITH EASE DARLING

 

[Lucille]

OFFENSIVELY UGLY STAGING!!!

 

[AGinAg (38)]

It's utterly Moldova and in some perverse way we should celebrate it.
