The power ballads always make me laugh..

what are you so serious about? It's the Eurovision!

Ireland's entry was garbage...

Switzerland and Cyprus for me

Rylan over on BBC4 improved as the night went on

Will be (pleasantly) surprised if Ireland get through

Aside from the top obvious 5, the markets are currently reacting positively to

Lithu / Swiss / Albania / Belaru and maybe Azer will complete the top 10.

Itssoeasy

Why do people think the dancers for Ireland might make a differance ? I mean the singer himself was a grand chanter and we've certainly sent far worse to this competition.

‪Aze Cze lith #Isl #bls #Est Bul Aus Fin Cyp my qualifying countries #Eurovision ‬Hello from Lisbon!

hmmm

Belarus has a very catchy little chorus - could pick up a few points, and good voting bloc

"We salute our glorious dictator and Russian Federation"

honeybear

I’m betting on Switzerland placing

NegativeCreep

Belgium is still my favourite of the night!

Painful ''comedy"

Darkglasses

Are they ok?

No wonder the UK wanted to leave!!!

If this was being held in Ireland, the ‘comedy’ would be provided by Syl Fox, June Rodgers and Al Port...Doc Savage.

The one I liked tonight and didn't really like before was Austria thought it was very catchy

Itssoeasy

Daniela ruah again. That was a pregnant pause if ever I heard one.

Grandeeod

Ireland will not qualify. Marty is annoying the fook out of me. The staging every bloody year is now the same. Nothing new. Now I know why I haven't watched it since 2012 and it wasn't much better then.

Apologies for pissing on anyones picnic.:D

That would be the only thing that would make people vote for it.

I voted for Belgium to get through via text.

I wonder what it costs to vote across Europe? 60c here, 15p in UK over 3 times cheaper, what a surprise.

Itssoeasy

Planet Portugal ?

Jesus this comedy bit is painful...

Hande hoche!

Flash of that web summit gob****e.

'Cos staging is key. It may be called a song contest but you need to sell it well visually. I think, in fairness, Ireland did that this time.

What on earth is this rubbish?

Oh sweet Jesus David Attenborough would be spinning in his grave if he were dead.

Marty's growing frustration as other countries are put through before the inevitable throwing his toys out of the pram as we miss out again is the highlight of the Eurovision for me

It's no river dance lads.

This nothing to do with the EU. They'll still be there after Brexit.

Ah Eurovision.

Came for the music.
Stayed for the comedy.

This is cringey...

splinter65

Longest 10 minutes ever.

What is a CD!?!

Cross dresser? Cool

Been to Portugal a few times and I didn't realise their sense of humour was so bad.

We will get 12 points from someone so! Europeans have a weird sense of humour though!

This would put you off visiting Portugal.

What drugs are these people taking?

Ally Dick

Paddy Power doesn't fancy Ireland to qualify. 1/5 against

dublinman1990

This was bizarre. Planet Portugal with David Attenburger? Nice BBC rip off Portugal.

AndyBoBandy

Oh, the comedy isn’t finished yet!!

I’m beside myself with laughter here!!

Itssoeasy

CDs ? No online download lads no ?

Christ this is interminable rubbish...
Honestly just stick on static for 15 minutes
