Komet Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 Spain is the only performance that is giving larger than life, sorry to the other girls
igninton Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 Quote Last year, French broadcaster Stéphane Bern was commentating on the Eurovision Song Contest when he received an urgent text from Emmanuel Macron. The votes were coming in, and France's Barbara Pravi was in second place - but allegations were circulating that Damiano David, lead singer of Italian frontrunners Måneskin, had snorted cocaine during the grand final. "It was a big, big mess," Bern recalls. "I received so many messages on my mobile - even one from the French president - telling me Måneskin had to be disqualified, saying, 'You have to do something, please.' "The French minister for European affairs, who was in Rotterdam for the contest, sent me also messages saying, 'What should we do? What should we do? Please do something.' "But what could I have done? I wasn't hosting. I'm not the President of the Eurovision!" It just so happens that the President of the EBU, which organises the contest, also hails from France. She advised everyone to remain calm. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-61338657 Not the BBC exposing Macron like that Bit pathetic if you ask me.
Blackthorn Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 That's weird I don't feel excited for tonight, not sure why. Do you guys watch the contest on TV with commentaries or on YouTube?

Countries get so messy when they know they have a chance of winning. Eurovision is amazing exposure for their cities
Atlantis Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Spain is giving 3rd-4th place but I hope they win Edited May 10, 2022 by Atlantis
chessguy99 Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 Reading various reviews of the jury show and this seems to be the consensus: Sure qualifiers: Ukraine, The Netherlands, Norway, Greece, Armenia Sure non-qualifiers: Switzerland, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Austria Probable qualifier unless jury totally tanks them: Latvia, Moldova Probable qualifier unless televote totally tanks them: Lithuania, Portugal Fighting it out for last spot: Denmark, Iceland, Albania
Cheap Thrills 9.0 Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 I kind of want Albania to NQ sorry, that whole performance is one big mess

Villanelle Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 Konstrakta is serving Gaga's Oscars level of campaigning I'm so over that song and its gimmick.
Bloodflowers. Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 People thinking UK has a chance of winning? Well they have some Malta 2021 news coming their way. You can lobby for jury but can't payola televotes. People thinking Spain will go Top 10. Maybe with jury payola but televote will serve Cyprus 2021. Great dancing, beautiful dancing tho. Germany might be the underdog, he could snatch a few 1, 2, 3, 4 points from a couple of countries. The Gen Z girlies LUV his look and that emo song. Unless San GODrino qualifies and cancels those votes between them in the finals. France, I don't care about them. Italy or Serbia FOR THE WIN!

I can see it finishing top 5 with the juries and 14th/15th with the televote and sneaking through in 9th/10th, although this + Iceland are my least certain qualifiers imo.

Atlantis Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 People comparing Spain to any recent popgirl entry Have you seen the full performance? Her stage presence and dancing are on another level, there's no way this is gonna flop

I hope tonight's performances will tip the scales in favor of Iceland and Lithuania. I can see them getting general praise from the critics + some scattered votes from the televote. Does the jury vote in the semi finals or is it just televotes?
