Eurovision 2024: Semi-Final 1 (8pm BCT)

[NatAlex Gordienko]

I wonder if I'd appreciate it more if I wasn't comparing to Air which is so much better !

 

[Madison]

Underrated winner??!

 

[Ellie]

I hope Johnny Logan re does this

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

I mean it’s among the better songs from today so far

Yeah I think it’s actually quite strong.

 

[TiShh]

Azerbaijan's highlights ending in 13 years ago.

And WHERE was Aisel?

 

[lolly]

How many gay sleeves have we had this evening?

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

PISS BREAK

 

[Marina Salty]

Azerbaijan already better than Sweden

 

[Alla]

Not my cup of tea at all but glad they stopped sending MF rejects

 

[Ellie]

Well that’s a nice head thing at the back. Song is DULL.

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

Wait for Lucille to tell us this is a great entry

 

[funky]

Are the live vocals always generally this ropey?

everyone seems to be struggling a bit tonight

 

[win_the_game]

Lovely moustache on the warbling one.

 

[THEY CALL ME GAJA]

Sweden have messed with their performance too much - couldn’t see them as much and the camera speeds were strange at times

 

[RS]

Oh this is right up my alley!

(However won’t vote)

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

Beautiful staging. Dull dull dull otherwise.

 

[ButterTart]

Sweden were EXCELLENT you MONSTERS.

This, however, is irredeemable.

 

[Alla]

This reminds me of their 2008 entry, good to see them back to their roots.

(They'll be back with more Swedish hot shit next year when they don't qualify).

 

[Apo-KANT!]

The staging for this is... baffling.

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

I thought the studio version was quite SULTRY but the staging and outfits are ATROCIOUS!

 

[RS]

I’m sorry but this is fantastic

 

[funky]

How many gay sleeves have we had this evening?

There’s a fair few wizard sleeves in the audience

 

[lolly]

No to the song, yes to a spitroast.

 

[Madison]

They didn’t even kiss.

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

WHERE IS WE GOT LOVE

 

[win_the_game]

Wasn't sold on their homosexual Power Rangers outfits.

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

Azerbaijan and Australia both feel like countries running on fumes these days

 

[TiShh]

The staging and weird spacesuit didn't work at all. It's quite a FOLKSY song with souk undertones. And the second, admittedly sexy moustache guy was rubbish. It needed to be a solo with the less sexy guy.

 

[dzjermlaw]

I’m not sure one Dami Im makes Australia very good at Eurovision, Scott. They’ve had a lot of shit as well.

 

[ButterTart]

Nice to see that, a full 24 years after Only the Women Know, Sharon D Clarke has finally made it to Eurovision.

 

[Ellie]

Why do I recognise her?

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

HATE!

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

Why do I recognise her?

Your mum

 

[Alla]

ANOTHER male duo? Kala found dead.

 

[funky]

This is giving me strong Ibibio Sound Machine vibes

Definitely the best song so far

 

[FetchFugly]

This staging is basic.

 

[funky]

This is giving me strong Ibibio Sound Machine vibes

Definitely the best song so far

(That I’ve seen)

 

[Bypass]

The line on the postcards going all the way to Australia

 

[Star]

Still waiting for someone in a pretty dress.

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

Mr DC: is that a drag queen??

(Is it?!)
