    It's a shame because it's the best entry we've sent in some time and clearly a lot of effort has been put into it.

    I don't think the reaction last night was particularly negative though, in fact I saw a lot of good comments. Unfortunately we have once again been drawn in the most competitive semi.

    And some of the most creative staging. Seems like nearly everyone this year is using the "one singer 4 dancers" template this year.

    I don't follow Eurovision much, but I do an annual modest bet, and have been gradually accumulating a sum of money on my PP account. Not my opinion about our ding, but I have a feeling we will not be in the final.

    Just 30 minutes from start and I'm so excited I've already ate half my pizza. :P

    We have a few strong diaspora countries in this semi (Lithuania, Ukraine, Romania) so with a little love and a good performance I think our Lesley can make it through.

    My three favourites are Romania, Belgium, and Ukraine.

    Dutch are tall in general. Nikki is trans.

    You could hear the real crowd lasting longer but the fake loud bit at the announcing of the dancers and such like.

    The point I'm making is that there is enough of a crowd put NOT put in a fake crowd noise.

    Doubt Israel will make it through this year.

    They will probably get booed.

    I really think Ireland's best chance tonight is Israel losing their slot from a protest vote given what's going on.
