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

[Ha-lucy-nation]

What a SHIT TRIBUTE!

 

[straightorbroken]

She does look familiar.

 

[RS]

Why did the third presenter not change outfit?

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

Why do they keep showing shots of the audience in PITCH BLACK?

We’ve all gone to top up on drinks

 

[dzjermlaw]

So we don’t get another recap, we get Scott and Rylan being as bad as the Italian presenters. Aren’t we lucky?

 

[dzjermlaw]

'Italian superstar with a blonde bob haircut'

Omg Lady Gaga!

120 year old Italian legend.

omg Madonna!

 

[win_the_game]

The venue looks EMPTY. Has everyone cut their losses?

 

[RS]

It’s a crime that Latvia and Moldova will qualify but Lithuania won’t.

 

[dzjermlaw]

We’ve all gone to top up on drinks

What an EXCELLENT IDEA.

 

[FetchFugly]

Brooke off to LA to write with Meg Trainor... Can't wait to hear the results of that meeting of minds.

 

[straightorbroken]

So can we win this already just so Rylan can do countless costume changes along the lines of what he's got on now?

 

[ManicKangaroo]

The venue looks EMPTY. Has everyone cut their losses?

They all died love

 

[RS]

This is the first year we haven’t had any real TWINKS

 

[dzjermlaw]

Rylan: Could we make my V deeper?

 

[dzjermlaw]

The audience sounded less than committed to that countdown.

 

[KNT]

This is the first year we haven’t had any real TWINKS

I feel there was a twink following the bear.

 

[ButterTart]

Oh shut up Mika

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

THE SUN IS ROTATING

 

[FetchFugly]

Not this speech from Mika...

 

[lolly]

Mika really does have the presenting style of a primary school teacher crossed with a priest.

 

[Christian]

I remember why Mika never connected in the first place now.

 

[Marina Salty]

what is he saying? ert cut him off for adverts

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

The big 5 (except Germany) being the strongest really murders the semis this year!

 

[Christian]

Mika really does have the presenting style of a primary school teacher crossed with a priest.

Terribly terribly EARNEST

 

[ButterTart]

what is he saying? ert cut him off for adverts

Something patronising about music.

 

[ButterTart]

Cruel to remind the Italians that they used to be good at Eurovision.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

The big 5 (except Germany) bring the strongest really murders the semis this year!

this

they should bring back the relegation system and one semi format

 

[dzjermlaw]

It’s the winner of Eurovision 2020.

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

Terribly terribly EARNEST

Like a message in a bottle lost at sea...

You just don't GET IT

 

[lolly]

Now that's a blouse Rita Fairclough would be proud of.

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

SING FEKER LIBI

 

[dzjermlaw]

Just think. If it weren’t for COVID, we could have had two years of these production values.

 

[KNT]

Terribly terribly EARNEST

Also my review of this song.

 

[RS]

Hurry up please, I’m falling asleep.

 

[win_the_game]

I'm not sure this lends itself to modern interpretive dance.

 

[Christian]

All the lovers...

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

Didn't people think this was going to win at the time?

I expect even James Newman's 'My Large Breasts' would have done better

 

[ButterTart]

There’s definitely more than six dancer there, the cheating bastard.

 

[FetchFugly]

This is coming off a tad POMPOUS

 

[dzjermlaw]

It feels so wrong to have someone actually hit their big notes after the past two hours.
