Close one, but Austria won.

Can't wait to see how much harder Israel cheats next year via vote coordination lol

Lot of people boycotted it because of their inclusion, which kinda pumps their numbers. Wouldn't have seen myself rooting for Austria to beat Israel when I was younger, lol, but here we are

What the hell just happened πŸ˜†

Speaking of, how the hell did that song get 0 points from the public? It was pretty likely the best song I have ever heard from the UK in Eurovision...

cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 9 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Yeah not my choice but was surprised with zero. Same for Switzerland got zero too

That one was also mind-blowing. That song was really cool, I'll probably start following ZoΓ« MΓ«'s career after the show.

from the UK

the past few years set the bar really low on that...

I'm boycotting as Israel is involved and Russia is not.

Double standards and helps white wash a genocide.

Shame, cause I usually love it all.

Exactly. I haven't watched it last year and won't watch it this year either

Yay eurovision! My guess is germany is gonna do well this year just based on how often I hear the different songs on radio x3.. germany has been daily

Korne127@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y (1 reply)

From which country are you though? There might be a selection bias

TabbsTheBat@pawb.social · 6 pts · 1y

So far the video version is much better than live.

Microw@lemm.ee · 8 pts · 1y

The Australian entry is something. Silly trash song that fits Eurovision perfectly. Hope it gets into the final.

If someone is looking for live-time discussion during semi 2: Check out #eurovision, #ESC, #ESC2025 hashtags on mastodon or other fedi software that can properly display messages outside of groups/communities.

Prediction: the crowd will be super helpful backup singers for Malta, no clue if their help will make it to the broadcast, lol

It didn't work for Citi Zeni in 2022 with veggies and 🐱.

Good luck to all the stagehands who have to clean up the sand after France, also someone needs to come up with an Anakin meme for this

Welp, Israel got in to the finals :/

Boycotting the Finals again this year then

I'm here from the future, and must I say, good call.

Those are some crazy qualification results from the first semi. Portugal is probably the biggest surprise for me. Thursday is going to be a bloodbath filled with salt.

Microw@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 1y

Hazel doing her on-brand silly interactions with fans. Nice.

hansolo@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 1y

So it's either club bangers or love songs, eh? Not a lot of in between so far.

Montenegro is soooo dramatic.

Marko from Croatia reminds me of Luke Black for some reason
