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

[NatAlex Gordienko]

Portugal actually liking a lot more than I thought I would…really pretty

 

[straightorbroken]

Ugh, I really hoped they were finally going to be interesting by ripping his top off.

 

[dzjermlaw]

I'm choosing to believe that that smirk she did at the audience was because she saw a Giraffe drinking piss in the stalls.

They prefer to call it Peroni.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

was it intended to make Laura Pausini look like a Preschool teacher with the styling?

 

[ButterTart]

Oh for FUCK’S SAKE, Croatia now? This is a truly lousy semi.

 

[lolly]

Oh well, at least there are three songs I want in the final so far

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

Portugal was STUNNING.

 

[dzjermlaw]

Taylor Swift wants her song back and she is coming to TAKE IT.

 

[Ellie]

She sounds very Katie Melua

 

[straightorbroken]

Dana International should have picked this year for her comeback, this semi wouldn't have been any bother for her.

 

[RS]

How many songs left? This is already more tedious than your average ASFM semi.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Swedish commentator on the SVT stream essentially compared Croatia to Taylor Swift's Willow

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

Deciding my Moopyrate scores tonight.

 

[Mother Superior]

This could do well, very folklore

 

[win_the_game]

Croatia wears it better than Laura Pausini.

 

[Ellie]

Now this I like.

 

[straightorbroken]

Even an acoustic Ding Dong would have walked/strutted this.

 

[ButterTart]

Silly bitch forgot to take the gift wrap off the lingerie her boyfriend bought her.

 

[RS]

Swedish commentator on the SVT stream essentially compared Croatia to Taylor Swift's Willow

He said she’s been accused of copying Swift’s song.

 

[Mother Superior]

Shame she's a bit dull...

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

Oh yes this. Don't hate it.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

so she ditched the acrobat dancer for a Manson cult staging?

makes sense with the lyrics

 

[KNT]

Mum, can we stop for St Vincent?

We've got St Vincent at home...

 

[ManicKangaroo]

This one is pretty good (by comparison to the dross we've had so far). It' started a bit Suzanne Vega but has veered off course a bit

 

[straightorbroken]

Was there a fabric sale on? Suspicious volume of horrible pink dress.

 

[FetchFugly]

I like this too. Whatever Hollyoaks storyline is being played out on stage less so.

 

[ButterTart]

Is this running order so that Portugal looks dynamic and emotional by comparison?

 

[Nancy]

I wish she'd made a different shoe decision.

 

[Music]

I swear if this qualifies for Croatia after their banger last year didn’t…

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

Dana International should have picked this year for her comeback, this semi wouldn't have been any bother for her.

Israel have gone mega gay. Not R DANA, but still.

 

[lolly]

TREND ALERT certainly seems to be shiny straight dark hair tonight

 

[dzjermlaw]

Oh, I like where it goes into Croatian.

 

[Marina Salty]

Netherlands
Portugal
Ukraine
Lithuania
Croatia
Albania
Latvia
Moldova
Slovenia
Bulgaria
Switzerland

 

[Star]

Mr Star (big Swifter) says he's suprised there's not a law suit against this!

 

[win_the_game]

That was lovely. I think it could sneak through to the final.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

can we get Indira next year? thanks Hvra

 

[straightorbroken]

With those boots, I'm hoping for a key change Sakura costume change. Oh it's finished.

 

[ButterTart]

Denmark. Oh Jesus Christ alive.

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

The sad sun is making everything look extra moody.

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

The non English bits are far superior.
