Eurovision Song Contest 2016
 

I don't know if anyone else other than Honeykid and I watch it - but even though we might as well get a thread for it :D

I'm 40 minutes into last nights semi final. I think this is Armenia and it's very Eurovision. One of my favourite so far.

I'm loving this San Marino entry. They better get through.

Just watched Russia. I can see why you think it will do well. It's OK, but it feels like to was put together by committee to win. It's kind of soulless.

It's Eurovision - most of them are soulless :D

Cynic. :D

I like Austria. It's a bit of a simple throwback. I think it being in French helps that.

I think it was fine, but I was mostly impressed with the visuals.

Azerbaijan is one of those songs which is OK, but you keep waiting for it to burst into life. Sadly it never happens and just ends up being a disappointment.

Well, as someone tweeted last night, it won last year. ;)

I am a fan of it - but I belive this was the song where last night, I found it difficult to hear what she was singing :(

I liked Montenegro at first, but it goes on too long which, for a 3 minute song, isn't a good sign.

Iceland is another who's been looking and listening to previous winners a little too much.

Bosnia and Herzegovina has only just started but I'm loving the costumes and staging. Now this is Eurovision. Even if the song is crap, be mental!

Yep, I liked that. :yup:

Khan, it's not the best, but I was a big fan of it and hoped it'd do really well. I still like it. I liked the official video, too.

Malta next. Almost always pretty girls from Malta. I don't know why.

I'm looking forward to this one from Australia:

Malta song was OK. Very Eurovision as was the dancer. Thankfully. :D

I liked it because of the lyrics, man went to make some points and he used a big stage to do so, even in the song he says he has no ambition for high position.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2016
 

Moldova, Croatia, San Marino, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Armenia and Austria. I'd like to see them all make it

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2016
 

Why are Australia and Israel participating? They're both not in Europe. And apparently Morocco also participated once but I believe that was a one time thing.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2016
 

Australia because they're huge fans. Last year was supposed to be a one-off as part of the 60th anniversary celebrations. This year it's just profile, I'd assume. I've never understood Israel being in it, but it meant we had Dana International, so that's OK. I wouldn't have Turkey in it, either.

Holy crap! France isn't singing in French. :eek: Wow. Is this the first time?
