Bellatrix 34,639 Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 BREAKING: After Chinese broadcaster Mango TV censored parts of the first semi-final they won't be broadcasting the second semi-final and the final, as EBU terminated the partnership. EBU:s statement: "On the 9th of May, Chinese broadcaster Mango TV broadcast the first Semi-Final of the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest live but two performances were censored. This is not in line with the EBU’s values of universality and inclusivity and our proud tradition of celebrating diversity through music. It is with regret that we will therefore immediately be terminating our partnership with the broadcaster and they will not be permitted to broadcast the second Semi-Final or the Grand Final."

Dutch 89,788 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Lmao, after Hungary a song that is also loud/rock and one of the favorites Israel... Followed by the gay dancers and yet again the favorite Cyprus. Well at least we are at the end of the show, but they seem to really push Cyprus or Israel to the win.

AlexanderMagno 10,746 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I don't get why Cyprus is getting so much attention. The song itself is mediocre, not to say bad. Forgettable. The singer is just a blend between Shakira and Beyoncé. Really, it's awful, there's nothing unique about it. And it will win? after last year's winner, I'd expect the bar to be set higher, not the lowest possible. I'd love Estonia to win, but that's a reach. I'm not really into Ireland's, but at least it was sweet and brought on stage a representation that needs a spot on TV's prime time. I don't really enjoy Portugal's song, but I like how it stands out as a indie electropop song. It's different, nice to see some variety. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch 89,788 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I've to say this final turned out to be really strong after all. It's really hard to put songs low on the list, because I really fell in love with the most of them and I'm not trying to be humble at all. It could've been stronger with two or three songs from semi-final 1 and some better songs from the big 5, I agree. Anyhow. My personal top 26, after seeing all the performances and judging on the full package, for the final is (note: not my prediction): 1. 🇪🇪Estonia: Elina Nechayeva - La Forza (still my #1) 2. 🇮🇱 Israel: Netta Barzila - Toy (yup, I finally fell in love with her) 3. 🇸🇪 Sweden: Benjamin Ingrosso - Dance You Off 4. 🇦🇺 Australia: Jessica Mauboy - We Got Love 5. 🇫🇷 France: Madame Monsieur - Mercy 6. 🇨🇾 Cyprus: Eleni Foureira - Fuego (surprise, I don't hate it, I can't deny she slays the stage) 7. 🇫🇮 Finland: Saara Aalto - Monsters 8. 🇩🇰 Denmark: Rasmussen - Higher Ground (was my #2, but his vocals aren't as strong) 9. 🇳🇱 The Netherlands: Waylon - Outlaw in 'Em (it was my #4, so don't call me biased) 10. 🇦🇹 Austria: César Sampson - Nobody but You 11. 🇨🇿 Czech Republic: Mikolas Josef - Lie to Me 12. 🇺🇦 Ukraine: Mélovin - Under the Ladder 13. 🇩🇪 Germany: Michael Schulte - You Let Me Walk Alone 14. 🇧🇬 Bulgaria: Equinox - Bones 15. 🇮🇪 Ireland - Ryan O'Shaughnessy - Together 16. 🇸🇮 Slovenia: Lea Sirk - Hvala, ne! 17. 🇦🇱 Albania: Eugent Bushpepa - Mall 18. 🇱🇹 Lithuania: Ieva Zasimauskaitė - When We're Old 19. 🇳🇴 Norway: Alexander Rybak - That's How You Write a Song 20. 🇬🇧 United Kingdom: SuRie - Storm 21. 🇮🇹 Italy: Erman Meta & Fabrizio Moro - Non mi avete fatto niente 22. 🇵🇹 Portugal: Cláudia Pascoal - O Jardim 23. 🇪🇸 Spain: Alfred and Amaia - Tu Canción 24. 🇷🇸 Serbia: Sanja Ilić & Balkanika - Nova deca 25. 🇲🇩 Moldova: DoReDoS - My Lucky Day 26. 🇭🇺 Hungary: AWS - Viszlát nyár This list could be different tomorrow tho.

We won't break that viewing record with Russia out of the final and this, but oh well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
