ok jax, if you have played instruments maybe u recognise this xylophone. i think neutral cannot get that...

watch out Hungary, Sweden, Russia, Norway and Australia. they are considered as main favourites. Estonia was shaky in the final, they were much better in semi-final :(

@Of Course. I'm just being overly critical. So it's based on the performance as much as the song itself?

@Namejs It wasn't really my thing but I can respect the pipes she has. The song itself was not particularly special.

I'm watching older performances of these songs so I can't really judge their performances, just the song quality. I will take a look at those after the TFC (Toronto FC) game.

I saw 6-7 performances, the best for me was the German girl by far, very good and "scratchy" voice and nice song with a good rythmn.
I liked the Georgia song too.
Anyway, almost all the songs are not that bad.
But everybody sing in English? Only the Spanish girl sang in her language (considering the ones I saw).

ok, saw Russia again. no chance that she won't win...

Portugal, as usual, didnt even made it to the final... lol

GO SWEDEN!!!!

Germany 0 points last place wuhuu lol

Time to dig it up again...one hour to start of first semifinal.

EuroVision 2016, Ukrain has won :/ She was the worst.

I personally liked our song "If love was a crime" very much. We should have been in top 3.

This year was a parade of many average songs. I watched both semis too and couldn't draw clear line, which songs should be my 10 finalists. Most of songs didn't disturb, but they didn't attract enough to vote this year. Previous years had bigger polarization.

edit: and fresh news say that finally we got absolute last place. Well, our song was quite weak (chosen because of same author as previous year), but not so bad to stay behind of Finland and Moldova.

@chukanovich That song was song was number 3 on my list, I made a top 26. Don't know why they didn't make it that high.

Dafuuq...Estonia again out of final?

Well I don't think the British entry was even written by a Brit. Perhaps it's the only way they figure anyone else in Europe is going to vote for us now lol.

It really is mostly utter dross.

I only switch over to it for the scoring and Graham Norton's none too serious commentary on the political bias. You know where half the votes are going before they've been announced.

Honestly saying, this year is probably worst ever by songs' selection. It was stupid idea to imitate symbol of crap named Modern Talking and failing out was deserved. Well, other songs were not much better and I didn't find any songs from semi-2 to deserve my vote.
