I mean it's not like I could stare lovingly into his eyes for hours on end or nothing
:worried:

[uwut]

First time in a long time that I might have to miss Eurovision, this year won't be complete without it :saddowns:

[Megalan]

Just a quick reminder - first semi-final is [B]today[/B]

[EddieLTU]

PSA: if you live outside europe or quit from the contest *cough*Russia*cough*. Rumor has it SVT is going to do a worldwide broadcast of the event, with no geoblocking

[tnk]

The rumors are true, [URL="https://www.svtplay.se/video/13572581/eurovision-song-contest/eurovision-song-contest-2017-semifinal-1-9-maj-20-00?info=visa&start=auto"]here's the link[/URL]

I don't know why I have a soft spot for this song

[video=youtube;rwVDXWGXE_8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwVDXWGXE_8[/video]

[EddieLTU]

I fucking knew our onionhead trash singer won't make it further, ever since the day they won, which was exactly 2 months ago

[Bradyns]

Watching Semi-final 1 atm.

Cyprus was epic, that song could be the flagship music for an olympics ad campaign, or any sporting brand.

Epic Sax Guy returns?! Cool song.

Wasn't overly happy with Aus..

Latvia was neat.

[/QUOTE]

It would've been good if the song itself wasn't a Rag'n'Bone Man rip-off and the performance was not heavily inspired by last year's Russia performance.

[EddieLTU]

never forget last year

So many songs with an electronic pop tune, not sure how I feel about it.

[Ninny]

[Cree8ive]

This is why I really like Portugal's entry, it really stands out from the rest this year.
