Eurovision 2021

[Dr. Furface]

Just 2 numbers in and it’s all legs and spangles

 

[Steel Icarus]

Prefer the singer to the song tbh.

 

[weltweit]

Albania, can't we have translated subtitles

 

[Petcha]

There's someone singing in foreign here. That's surely not allowed?

 

[Orang Utan]

Wish there were live subtitles for shits and giggles

 

[weltweit]

Not much social distancing in the crowd !!

 

[T & P]

Waiting for the high note in Israel’s entry

 

[Lord Camomile]

Could be memory, but this performance doesn't seem as good as Tuesday? Seems a bit more muted, not as energetic?

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Mr. QofG's would dance to Israel's entry in a foreign nightclub on holiday but otherwise meh

 

[Orang Utan]

Could be memory, but this performance doesn't seem as good as Tuesday? Seems a bit more muted, not as energetic?

Is it a repeat?

 

[Dr. Furface]

I think Israel might bomb. Sorry…

 

[Lord Camomile]

Is it a repeat?

Semi-finals.

 

[isvicthere?]

Eurovision went bad about 1979, when they let Israel enter, which is not in Europe. Next thing you know they'll let Australia enter!

 

[Petcha]

Israel's entry is a tune called 'set me free'. Lolzz

 

[Orang Utan]

Semi-finals.

Didn’t realise they televised them. Surely it’s cheating to hear the songs before the night?!? Most you only need/want to hear once and it would also ruin the surprise

 

[Steel Icarus]

Friend of mine is giving Israel zeros across the board as a protest. (We have spreadsheets, categories, etc)

 

[T & P]

TBF it’s a good Eurovision song. In a non-Israeli-genocide year it’d be a strong contender I reckon

 

[isvicthere?]

Hooverphonic! Drug reference?;

 

[weltweit]

Israel was ok Euro pop sort of stuff.. Can we have a Palestinian entry also ?

 

[Lorca]

too much bland euro-pop so far, we need more eccentrics

 

[MrCurry]

This Belgian entry has grown on me a bit, I must admit.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I might like this if it were sung by Depeche Mode. But it's not.

 

[isvicthere?]

Belgium: a touch Portishead-y?

 

[Orang Utan]

Hooverphonic! Drug reference?;

Disappointing - thought it was going to be a throwback to the Belgian Hoover Rave sounds of the early 90s but it’s a song Chris Isaak rejected

 

[weltweit]

Belgium I approve of the boots ... phwor - she looks familiar ..

 

[Dr. Furface]

Milf-tastic

 

[Orang Utan]

Singing the same song, but Set Us Free

I kinda know what you mean, but a lot of Eurovision songs are in the charts all over Europe for weeks ahead of the night! I don't listen to them though, as I do still like the surprise. But often the most interesting tracks don't get through to the final (Montenegro 2013 ) so if you only watch on Saturday you can miss out .

And the whole point is people vote in the semis, just like in the final, so it'd be a bit harder if they weren't televised

 

[Lorca]

love the motorised dress

 

[weltweit]

Quite like Belgium .. not very energetic though
