I wish the US did a song competition with one person representing each of the fifty states each

I feel like it would build camaraderie, I love that Europe does it

WAIT OMG I looked it up and saw that it is happening!!

Yep, coming in 2022! Some Swedes including the Swedish Eurovision boss are responsible ;)

Ooh appreciate the tag. Watching these with my wife in a little bit. Gonna post some thoughts probably.

What do you think about the songs in Semi 1? :)

Let's go!

Yeeeeah!! 5-ish hours to go.

Yeah at least they can still compete.

Exactly. It would be so unfair otherwise after all that work.

Iceland? Didnt they have to cancel their act due to corona?

One band member has covid, yes. But no one is eliminated from the Contest because of that.

All countries had to record a live performance back in March as a back-up. This is the performance Australia used on Tuesday since they couldnt travel to Europe.

Each rehearsal on the Eurovision stage during the past 12 days has been recorded as well so Iceland will show one of those.

So fun to see so many posters

Regarding Australia. They are a member of the EBU and can thus compete. The EBU is the organisation which owns Eurovision.

spikethedevil posted...

Do you have someone talking over all the songs in Sweden? Though tbf Graham Norton is a bog improvement over Terry Wogan though I am aware saying anything negative about him can be a no no over here his borderline racist comments during Eurovision soured my opinion on him big time.

Best of luck to Sweden btw.

Our commentators usually have the sense to be quiet during the actual performances, thank God. Their job is to translate what the hosts are saying and interviews though which gets a bit annoying as a Swede who understand English well. I like what Ive seen of Graham Norton!

And Thanks for the well wishes!

Update!
The Swedish stream is now once again listed as available world wide so perhaps it will work for Americans.

The day has finally arrived! The show kicks off at 21:00 Central European Time!

The following countries compete and vote in Semi 1:

Lithuania, Slovenia, Russia, Sweden, Australia, North Macedonia, Ireland, Cyprus, Norway, Croatia, Belgium, Israel, Romania, Azerbaijan, Ukraine and Malta.

Germany (Big 5), Italy (Big 5) and the Netherlands (the host country) are also voting tonight and preview clips will be shown of their performances.

All participating countries have geoblocked their livestreams of the show this year and the official Youtube stream is not accessible for some countries including the USA so if you live in the US and wanna watch then you need to get creative.

Some bad news: all participating countries have geoblocked their Eurovision stream so if your country doesnt have a TV-channel which airs Eurovision you need to get creative >.>

There are legal ways for Americans to stream it for free. The Swedish broadcast is available for example but youll have to make do with the Swedish commentators then. They dont talk during the actual performances but at the start, before each entry and during interval segments and interviews.

I learned today that the Swedish stream is now geoblocked :/

After all acts have done all their rehearsals Italy has jumped to the top with the betting companies. Will it be the actual result next Saturday? Italian rock group Mneskin would be a most worthy winner for sure.

Thanks! It was a nice change of pace after drawing boobs on cookie monster. I was looking forward to giving him a giant bulge, but featuring asses instead let me knock out two requests at once, so...

Hahaha I bet!
Personally I prefer butts to bulges so it worked out well.
