    Damn Flix, I was just going to do this LOL :wink:

    Seeing as I only just heard it was on today I haven't even heard the UK entry yet, do you think we'll get points just for the fact it's Bonnie Tyler? :laugh:

    Lol,

    Not heard any of the songs, so I will be watching with an open mind.

    My work colleague watched the elimination shows and said that there were a lot of dance type songs this year.

    I like to watch for the commentary.

    Edit: love Bonny, hope she does ok

    The French woman was Courtney Love and Amy Winehouse's love child, the Finnish one is probably my favourite so far

    No sorry, I don't want to have anything to do with Malmö, one of Europe's most antisemitic cities. It is a shame they host the show in that cesspool.

    France, Denmark and Ireland stood out for me. Probably means none of them will do well.

    Sorry - I watched 1 of the shows on BBC Iplayer and had to skip most of the crap cause it was largely just commentating - rather watch the voice/xfactor :laugh:

    A question after my own heart. I have been planning my Eurovision weekend for months. Currywurst and more wheat beers for dinner tonight!

    The first semi-finals were crap - the second night was awesome!

    Latvia got my vote for cheesiest Eurovision entry - four guys in silver sequins, doing white guy rap and stage-diving? Fantastic.

    Greece was so good, and better than last's years entrant. But how will they afford to host Eurovision next year if they win? Tough question.

    Romania, wtf? I see they stole Moldova's trick of the crazy dress that rises towards the ceiling.

    Where's Turkey? I wanted to see if they could beat the man-boat entrance of last year!.

    Norway was awesome - great to see they've finally let go of the boy band entrants and put somebody in with some talent.

    I miss Jedward.

    Malta could quite possibly be just the sweetest man in the world.

    Tired of all the dubstep, and the barefoot singers with crazy hair - "Euphoria" is so 2012 guys, stop copying.

    My vote is for Norway! I could do with a trip to Norway next year, and Eurovision 2014 is a good excuse!

    Congratulations to Denmark!

    I thought Greece were great, and Romania were a hoot! They reminded me a lot of Greg Pritchard on Britain's Got Talent semi-final, with the falsetto singing and the huge cloak.

    I don't know if this year's winning song will grow on me. I LOVED Euphoria last year. It was great when it would play at the gym I went to - brilliant workout song! It would have been fun working out to Alcohol is Free!

    Romania scared me. I couldn't get past the whole falsetto/dubstep mix!

    I felt bad for Ireland, especially since the UK gave them une point and they gave them seven. Think of the consequences for next year's contest!
