    Every song seems to have a massive electronic bit at some stage, gets a bit tiresome.

    I'm behind a little, looks like Slovenia are utilizing the old fashioned art form of musical instruments.

    What happens if Australia win, will it be held over there?

    This.
    Nonetheless, in the event that Dami wins, Australia would partner with a European broadcaster and we would co-host Eurovision 2017 in a European country.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 142 ✭✭BlondeMoment


    Bulgaria best so far...catchy enough!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,138 ✭✭✭trixychic

    Nicky's performance was atrocious tbh.

    Still, the 6 preceding songs were dire, as were the immediate followups before Australia, so I'd give him a decent chance of qualifying.

    Poor semi-final so far IMO.

    Apparently it has to be held in a european country.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,099 ✭✭✭✭Busi_Girl08


    Best so far. I like that it has a bit of a traditional flair, but they aren't overdoing it.

    And now she's off to guide planes in to land in Stockholm airport.

    So we have a chance to host it again without winning? We're buddies with Australia, right? Sounds like a deal to me.
