Subject: One Show audience tonight - Eurovision fans wanted

On tonight’s One Show we’ll be linking live with Bonnie Tyler in Malmo, and be joined in the studio by a bunch of past Eurovision legends. Yes, that will include Sonia and Jemini…

If that gets you all hot under the collar please come and join the One Show audience at 6.55pm to wave a flag and generally make some noise.

Please RSVP if you can come along,

Thanks very much,

I'm not going .

time for semi final 1

[Colly]

Austria: Definitely would.

Ditto Estonia.

[Fry_4000]

like both songs so far.

[Colly]

This is impressing me less both in song and 'wouldness'.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Estonia's was disappointing considering the quality of the EWB Eurovision entries. I thought Slovenia's would be some kind of full blown dubstep for a minute but they appear to have bottled it a bit and made it a bit more generic. Her voice isn't amazing live either. However it's a nice change to the first two.

Austria: 6.5/10

Estonia: 7/10

Slovenia 7.5/10 (hopefully a cleaner performance in the final)

Croatia..... Iiiiiiiiinteresting.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Croatia's was quite nice actually. It can have a 7.

Denmark is the hot favourite. Denmark is an amazing country. Denmark has some great music. I have faith.

Hmph. Verse was all good and then it went too Shakira. It's clearly still good but not as amazing as I hoped then.

You should've gone. You would have heard that Bonnie Tyler doesn't know what country Malmo is in...despite being there right now!

[Colly]

Mmmm... Denmark.

[Fry_4000]

Can see why this is favourite to win. Best so far

[Katsuya]

WINNER.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I'll give it 8/10 but I'm hoping for better.

Russian can sing.

[Colly]

Lots of Museballs there.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I like the Russian one even though it's ridiculously Eurovision. 7.5/10 despite the key change.

Austria: 6.5

Estonia: 7

Slovenia 7.5

Croatia: 7

Denmark: 8

Russia: 7.5

[Fry_4000]

what was the point of the giant at the start?

[Colly]

They only had 5 and decided to use their allotted 6th person hilariously is my guess. How big was he?

Also, would. Even with the giant watching.
