My favourites on the night were Ireland, Croatia, and Ukraine.
Tbh I liked most of the performances to a degree, and Slovenia gets some bonus points for the staging. The only entries that I didn't like were Sweden as it sounded chronic to me. And I personally found Portugal a bit dull.

Yes, it's absolutely terrible. I'd be horrified if it somehow won.

There was just nothing really about it. Sang well but that was that. Ukraine is one that will grow on me and Croatia really good I wasn't surprised Ireland got through too, it was so different that I can see how votes were enough to get them through. |

YAY Ireland, Ireland is BACK!!!!!!
such a iconic slayage also happy Serbia, Portugal, Slovenia qualified, and they are gonna do better in the final, with the juries especially happy they survived the 100% televote semi would've swapped Cyprus for Australia but ok, australia the english parts were too dated i guess my fave performances were Ireland, Croatia, Ukraine scored them a 10/10 only ones, but i also loved Luxembourg happy they also got through and once again same as last year, all fully native language songs qualified

I just watched the video from the show last night and I thought it was pretty great actually. Didn't like it initially but it's grown on me, it's certainly Eurovisiony and the staging is excellent. She's from Cork as well

Oh god no. Ireland was awful.
Croatia was absolutely brilliant! It was like being at a rock concert. Reminded me of Maneskin and how much they owned that stage.

elsewhere in Serbia last night President Xi of China had arrived, and the broadcaster had a special news report on Xi's arrival, during Poland's performance as well as in the recap bit special news reports are allowed tbh, here my nation used to interrupt eurovision back in 2000 for a news report on a fireworks disaster in Enschede (therefore we missed our entry Linda Wagenmakers - No Goodbyes and a couple more performances that year)

I could not my eyes off her nails as she had stuck on each one old wooden box metal keys and I am always on the lookout for them as I sell lots of Victorian wooden boxes and they never have the keys!

Get in touch with the show and ask if you can have them after they're done

Eurovision Song Contest 2024, first semi-final, review: Croatia steals show
while the UK already looks doomed Milking cows, exploding trousers, screeching witches, a rap about Mother Teresa and a half-naked man with a mullet hatching out of a giant denim egg. It could only be the annual audio-visual fever dream that is Eurovision. The 68th edition of the world’s biggest and most bonkers music competition got under way with Eurovision Song Contest Semi-Final 1 (BBC One). We were frequently warned about flashing images and strobe effects. We weren’t warned about the show being stolen by something called Baby Lasagna. Croatia’s memorably named entrant delivered a rock-techno racket about economic migration - that well-known topic for pop lyrics. It was endearingly eccentric, infernally catchy and will take some beating on Saturday. The British contingent might as well pack up and head home early. UK entrant Olly Alexander has been branded “complicit in genocide” for his participation, which seems extreme. The Years & Years frontman and It’s A Sin star promised to tackle Eurovision in “the gayest way possible” but despite crooning from inside a sort of zero-gravity space toilet, he failed to stand out. Formulaic synth-pop affair “Dizzy” feels like a Pet Shop Boys B-side. Alexander is unlikely to make up for Mae Muller’s chastening flop last year. He’d concentrated on gimmicky staging and forgotten to write an actual tune. Bambie Thug rightly broke the Irish curse to become its first qualifier for six years with a theatrically demonic slice of “ouija-pop”. Johnny Logan would be turning in his grave if he was actually dead. Indeed, the two-time winner proved he was alive and well by popping up to perform a heartfelt Loreen tribute. Keeping Graham Norton’s seat warm for Saturday, Scott Mills and Rylan added arch commentary for UK viewers. Rylan was more amusing but both were so keen to keep talking, it often felt like being harangued in stereo. Nice-but-bland Mills should be jettisoned next year. Of the 15 semi-finalists competing, the top 10 went forward to this weekend’s showpiece grand final. Luxembourg returned after a 30-year absence and narrowly snuck through. We waved a relieved farewell to Poland’s Lady Gaga- lite, Moldova’s yodel-fest, the Icelandic Jane McDonald, Azerbaijan’s howl- athon and, in the biggest shock result, Australia’s feeble Grace Jones facsimile. It was difficult to make a case for any of them deserving to stay but it all seemed like a lot of trouble just to eliminate five songs. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/0/eur...-final-review/ |

She was great, clearly others agree, as we actually qualified for the final this year

Fair enough, I personally think that the performance had a striking tone to it.
