Eurovision Song Contest 2023 - 13th May - Liverpool

[SholasBoy]

I was going to say, Portugal since Suzy always send songs that take themselves very seriously. At least Mimicat is giving us a little more fun again.

Haha yes considering the song didn’t qualify, Suzy has become a Eurovision treasure! We must protect her at all costs!

Funnily enough in her homeland it's probably one of the (if not THE) most hated entries, because it's a representative of the 'pimba' music genre. It's extremely looked down upon there (kinda the music they play at rural vilage fairs) and since nowadays the Festival da Cancao is a bit elitist with who they invite as songwriters/producers, it's unlikely we'll get another pimba entry anytime soon.

lmao what a queen, would be more French if it was a glass of wine tho!

[SholasBoy]

Ok let’s we don’t get another black rainbow of death this year.

She should've qualified instead of San Marino She was Top 10 in televoting.

Blanca Paloma was excellent in her live performance. Pretty much everyone is convinced she can win the jury vote or at least reach the top 3 in the jury vote.

She just needs to get the styling right, not a fan of the wedding gown she wore on stage lol.

[SholasBoy]

Piqued Jacks *finally* announced the track is being released on April 5th. Still so far away

Ouch after seeing that performance from Mae all my fears are being realised. Great radio track, but this is another "Embers".

apparently she wasn't feeling ok, I think this is closer to what happened to the UK at the Junior Eurovision last year with Freya Skye ("Lose My Head"), still finished 5th

[jordi_89]

I thought it was Polina Gagarina

TRUE, it was that other one. Their names sounded kinda similar.

[jordi_89]

I just know about the psycho b!tch from Armenia, never heard that from Poli

Omg disgusting

[SholasBoy]

Nice. But wasn't Genova cancelled for being pro-Russian? Or I'm mistaking her for someone else?

Tuned in to the Barcelona party (just when it's almost over lmfao)..Mae didn't sound very good unfortunately, although people were saying she was sick but idk.
There were some minor audio issues too I think, but Destiny singing 'All of my Love' sounded really good, shame we didn't get to see it on the Eurovision stage, prefer it to Je Me Casse.

I don’t like the video… the live performance was far better than video, maybe that actually works in her favor.

[SholasBoy]

Norway dropped a video, its cool, shame they couldn’t get it out before the ESC official channel released their video of all entries.

[greek_boy]

Poor Switzerland, before Israel and after Croatia. Juries would've helped it qualify but...

Norway is a great entry to open the show but Denmark in SF2? I don't know. I would have chosen Armenia, Belgium or Iceland to open the SF2.

I thought Austria would close SF2, Australia performing last would help their chances.

Finland closing the SF1 was sooo predictable lol.

running order, RIP Malta and Azerbuyjan

well Malta did not have many chances to begin with but you never know lol I just want Portugal to qualify!

[Tansike]

So Norway will be the very first song people will hear from Eurovision - woah! This is going to be a massive start.

Thankfully going first in the Semi isn't as "bad" as doing so in the Final.

Switzerland will be lost between Croatia / Israel (or stand out for that reason).

First half of SF1 may be rather boring.

Albania could qualify in SF2...

Hope Poland misses Grand Final

[croatiaxtina]
