Eurovision 2022: Semi Final ONE (20:00 BST)

[Beverley]

Kind of expected Norway to get a bigger reaction in the stadium

 

[GNL]

Real LMFAO, Gangnam Style vibes from Norway.

 

[ButterTart]

What is this chat? Was there supposed to be a punchline there?

 

[Nancy]

Are there no more songs?

 

[GNL]

Ben from A1, show hairy coat.

 

[ManicKangaroo]

This is nowhere near as good as they think they are

 

[straightorbroken]

Thought Mika was going to say warm up those fingers for fisting. What a slip (so to speak) that would have been.

 

[ZZ]

love how Amanda was born in Norway, lived in Norway most of her life and the song is written by Norwegians and they've tacked her middle Greek name in as to INSIST UPON her link to Greece.

Her father is Greek and she was born in Greece.
So, quite fair I think.

 

[dmlaw]

I don't even think this would sound any better on drugs.

It might be worth trying.

 

[Nancy]

Phew, thought there were only going to be 16 songs for a minute!

 

[straightorbroken]

Okay, so I would be wrecked if I were in attendance. No way would I survive this any other way.

 

[ZZ]

But I wasn’t really impressed by the result of the Greek performance.
And Norway was the best thing after Ukraine I think in this semifinal.
The rest was absolutely abysmal.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Is this the first year with two produce based songs?

second I think? 2014 had "Cake to Bake" and "Cheesecake", unless they count as one

 

[Ellie]

Taylor Swift has a lot to answer for.

 

[ButterTart]

A plain girl with a willowy pop song

GROUNDBREAKING

 

[ButterTart]

Although I do like this best

 

[dmlaw]

At least the last song won’t be another slightly timid female.

Oh.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Taylor Swift has a lot to answer for.

Brexit, Trump, Hitler and Boris.

 

[Nancy]

second I think? 2014 had "Cake to Bake" and "Cheesecake", unless they count as one

Cakes and cheesecakes aren't produce. Produce is fruit and vegetables.

 

[dmlaw]

Brexit, Trump, Hitler and Boris.

She has fucked at most two of those.

 

[lolly]

This performance is pissdribble

 

[straightorbroken]

Imagine paying someone to dress you like that.

 

[Nancy]

What's happening on June 22nd?

 

[win_the_game]

The staging for most of these songs has been abysmal

 

[FetchFugly]

Not feeling this Mumford girl and her advent calendar room.

 

[ButterTart]

Somehow Malta are still going to deliver the whitest song of the year.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

I quite like this, it's generic but pleasant

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Why is her bedroom covered in toilet paper?

 

[straightorbroken]

She's looking at the camera like a school bully saying someone's parents are poor and they are not allowed to sit there.

 

[GNL]

What's happening on June 22nd?

The show finishes.

[straightorbroken]

Why is her bedroom covered in toilet paper?

Why is yours dear?

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

I’m loving the vocal harmonies or whatever they’re called.

 

[ManicKangaroo]

This semi was atrocious

Is Thursday likely to be any better?

 

[GNL]

Can we verify that this is not in fact Meghan Trainor out for revenge?

 

[Lucille]

All the paper giving me Lesley Roy flashbacks

 

[GinAg (39)]

Why is her bedroom covered in toilet paper?

IBS

 

[Lucille]

Omg the audience only just got to see her!

 

[lolly]

Mr L has just said it's the worst semi he's ever seen. I'm not enough to agree or not, but I certainly can't argue against it without thinking hard.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Why is yours dear?

Excessive wanking to your snaps
