Eurovision Song Contest 2016 in Stockholm - Winner: UKRAINE & JAMALA!

[Bellatrix 34,811]

Second half for Austria as well!

[Bellatrix 34,811]

First half for Azerbaijan!

Last but not least, Malta will be in the second half!

The producers SVT will decide the running order of the final after the second semi-final on Thursday based on which half the countries got.

So is second half better?

Still rooting for Russia not to win. Eurovision can't be bought off, just because you got some robot to sing a song sung so many times before and to dance to a higher-budget Måns-esque backdrop. Guess Amir will have to do it (win).

Will be interesting to see how far Ukraine can go. I can imagine it will be successful in countries like Latvia and Poland. It's just not winner material, so I don't understand how she could be placed second on the Bookmakers. Don't support her winning either. 

And it's sad that rooting for Zoë in the finale is pointless. Gotta go with France I guess.

Croatia is in the grand final  after so many years

our first song and performer I actually like since 2006

 

I'm stanning for Hungary cuz I like the guy 

And for Russia cuz I like both singer and the song

Ahhh can't wait for tomorrow's show. The songs in the 2nd semi-final are so much better than the first. 

Fingers crossed for Latvia, Ukraine and Lithuania (sort of) !!

[Bellatrix 34,811]

Yerevan 2017 please <3

Russia's song was catchy but nothing new, ok, the show was quite espectacular, for a second I didn't understand how he was climbing haha. However, it's a copy from last years.

 

I don't know if I am being realistic or not but XD The Gay Eurovision Contest can't be held in Russia. Not after Putin said that he wanted to abandon it when Conchita won.

[Luxe Ford 3,481]

Have to brag for a second. Three of the finalists had songs by Swedish songwriters. One by this girl who didn't even get to the Swedish finails.

Life is strange...

EBU has decided to sanction the Armenian broadcaster AMPTV for the for the Nagorno-Karabakh flag that Iveta was waving with in yesterdays semi-final. What kind of sanction will be decited at the Reference Group meeting in June.
If they break any more rules they risk being disqualified from the final.

Wow, I completely forgot about Eurovision.  

I'll be watching and posting with you guys again this year.  

edit: I missed the first semi-finale??  Is there anywhere I can watch it?

Heh! Loreen is interviewed on Swedish morning tv right now. She called Frans (our contesting artist) the 'Buddha of his generation.'

That's a bit of a stretch (said the choir boy bending over for the vicar).
