karbatal 0 Posted May 9 My favs last night: BULGARIA, CZEC REPUBLIC, LITHUANIA Enough with the absurd retard of Israel. She can't even sing live. Biggest absurd in years! And that Cyprus vagina on fire? We have enough with a Beyonce we don't know another absurda. FLUSH HER! A pity that Armenia is not in the final. What a BEAUTIFUL SONG. Just the thought that this song is out and that chicken mess of a viral silly person of Israel is in the final... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ireland only got through because of the gay dancers. Cyprus wasn't great. I liked the Czech guys though. Israel was hilarious. I got mixed up with another country so did not expect fat Bjork doing a chicken impression. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karbatal 0 Posted May 9 Somehow I don't trust that Israeli person. Is your typical talentless artist, who relies in being weird to hide the fact that she or he can't do anything else. I didn't like how she answered to some interviews about being the favourite "Oh, look at me, I've never been favourite before...". REally? You want to call pity because it unintentionally helped last year's singer? Flush. About Lithuania... I found the performance so touching! The girl sings so tenderly, so emotional. And the song was beautiful too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaron 0 Posted May 9 Greece got robbed, so sad. Though the performance was dull Ireland, lol. Got in to finals because of the guys hand in hand walk Belgium was robbed also. Finland does not deserve to be in finals. Thank god, Israel and Cyprus rocked the house, otherwise it was quite boring. Estonia was great too. Bulgaria sung out of tune, especially the taller guy with beard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its goin on too much on that song. But top 5 for me. Israel - Cyprus - Italy - France - Bulgaria would be perfect for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Israel god awful, chicken cant sing, cant dance, fugly and fat as hell. You cant call that a song either. Bulgari singer stole Gagas wig from 2008. Boring. Checz rebublic? Shaking your ass get you to the finals, ok. Ireland dragged dancers doing gay routine. Are we in 1998. Seems like Eurovision is back being tacky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acko 0 Posted May 10 I can't stand people who pretend that it's unfair, or that somehow Eurovision should b a serious comptetion that i sall about the music. NO! It's about Kitsch, Camp, Politics, East vs West, Fashion (Faux pas & otherwise), being Gay, Glamour, that intangible feeling of Euroness, Spain & San Marino being hell bent on coming in last & occasionally some GOOD music. THE END. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acko 0 Posted May 10 I say our Ikea vendeuse from Belgium sang very well, but unlike Blanche & her generation XX hipster angst schtick, this one missed the mark. Awful stage direction, I know she was going 4 Olivier Theyskens High Fashion & keeping it real. But Girl u were a mess, I don't know how many times we saw a mid close up of the back of ur head, Ur face was not properly beat 4 that lighting and what good is the darkness/melancholy vibe, when u have aging gays waving their flags all around u in every colour of the rainbow. Bitch should have went 2 the actual main stage with some stoic theatrical choreo. Ur own fault. MESS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Msig 0 Posted May 10 I was at yesterday's dress rehearsal of semifinal 2, once again in the Golden Circle. The musical quality is remarkably lower than that of semifinal 2. Probably the lowest-quality semifinal in Eurovision history. Anyway, these are the 10 countries that I expect to be announced as finalists tonight: Denmark, Hungary, Latvia, Moldova, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, and Ukraine.

karbatal 0 Posted May 10 The first semifinal was so full of big performances! No wonder the second will be different. Question is, will it be funnier? I missed more camp moments in the first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bitch should have went 2 the actual main stage with some stoic theatrical choreo. Ur own fault. MESS. I really liked her and I was shocked Belgium didn't qualify. I loved the song and she was interesting, a bit hipster :). Loved Austria. Not only is Cesar the sexiest guy on that stage, but I also think their song is the strongest. As for our song - the Bulgarian one, I think its very strong, love the production, but I am not sure if 5 people (6 if we count the folklore parts) singing it was a good idea. Its hard to establish a connection between an artist and the public for 3 min, how can you do it with 5 ppl? I know they have amazing voices, but there were some imperfections. I really want Bulgaria to win at last, but I m not sure we will especially if we look at the odds. We are free falling. Cyprus was dynamic, but its like the Greek Beyonce. Its not my thing. Israel is fun, but again its not my thing: childish and unintentionally (or intentionally) funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Msig 0 Posted May 11 7 qualifiers predicted right, out of 10. Serbia was a huge surprise to me. Australia and Slovenia weren't, though I thought they'd just miss making the cut. Here's the recap of the final, in running order. I think the running order benefits especially Cyprus and France. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
