Eurovision Song Contest 2023

Kalimah

I’d take Finland over Sweden any day of the week but I can’t say I’m hugely impressed by any of those songs. Irish one is one of the better ones.

Listening on radio and have to say, for a song contest, there's a fair amount of instantly forgettable songs. Hope the visuals are better!

Think I'll keep my €12 rather than texting 20 times!

LOL _ i turned on + 1 - seen the first song again and didn't even know I was watching the show again 😂

I don't rate Sweden either, don't know what all the hype is about.

glitterIsland

'we are one' put on a brilliant performance. They were very good. Hopefully they get through. If not... I don't know... I have no words...

Deeper Blue

Anyone else think it's been a poor night overall? And isn't this the stronger Semi on paper?

Even listening to the playbacks there it was the worst by far to me.

I'll also have some 🤣

Prepare to have no words.

Genuinely I would put us at about 12th best case.

FixdePitchmark

Ireland put in a good performance - but song just too slow and weak at the start.

Eurovision traffic is crashing boards!!!

archfi

Visuals are excellent

appledrop

I've decided I love Finland, typicial mad over the top Eurovision song but at least that means you remember it.

Welsh Megaman

Spare a thought for the Irish figure skater who’s missing his gold jumpsuit tonight.

Mike Guide 69

Excellent visuals, sh*t vocal performance

FixdePitchmark

That wasn't great - 1/2 done

Mollyb60

Ireland were awful, pitchy, weak vocals, genuinely horrific NSFW costume. It's a pity coz I like the song. No chance of qualifing.

I also thought Sweden was terrible.

Shockingly for me, my top 3 would be Finland, Norway and Portugal. I can't believe I love the Finland song but it was just bonkers.

pnott

Honestly BBC have totally knocked this out of the park. Miles better than the Italians last year.

Welsh Megaman

Don’t you mean ‘Durran Durran’?
