Once you have listened to all the songs, send your votes in the usual Eurovision style of 1-8, 10 and 12 to me via PM by 2359 BST on Thursday 16 July.

Everyone is able to vote in this semi final, but participants in this semi final MUST vote, otherwise they will be disqualified.

You are free to discuss whether you like a song or not but you are not allowed to discuss your votes or which songs you are giving (or not) points to. Also, you are not allowed to reveal your country or your song.

Here is a handy Recap video:

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

 

[Ig Komme]

 

[Phoenix]

(I won’t be there)

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

 

[ButterTart]

I mean, I knew this was happening but everyone else was doing the shocked face and I wanted to fit in.

 

[win_the_game]

I suppose I should suit follow suit for continuity.

I'll be here for this.

 

[OutSynk]

Thought you were going out.

 

[Jacques]

Hope this is up to the same high standard as the first semi. Can't wait to see what North Korea are bringing.

 

[RS]

Looking forward to hear the Russian entry.

 

[COB]

I've decided to arbitrarily stan Åland Islands (subject to change if their song is shit).

 

[RS]

Finnish Swedish is so unsexy so I will not vote for it.

 

[RS]

Unless it’s the Moomin signature melody

 

[OutSynk]

Wait there's more than an hour to go.

 

[Kaleen]

I never said ALL the entries were accurate representations of their country, only as CLOSE as possible!

 

[RS]

So far they’ve been fairly accurate.

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

Not VENEZUELA closing their semi AGAIN

 

[Alla]

I never said ALL the entries were accurate representations of their country, only as CLOSE as possible!

Well obviously, Mecano has nothing to do with Peru.

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

Thought you were going out.

I’m in the train for Nantes. Won’t be here for this later

 

[Kaleen]

Well obviously, Mecano has nothing to do with Peru.

Thankfully there were enough Spanish and French speaking countries to go round!

 

[SDF]

 

[OutSynk]

VOTED.

Edit: Oh sorry got a bit ahead of myself.

 

[Kaleen]

SOME STATS

Tonight we have songs in TWELVE languages, spanning FOUR decades.

 

[Alla]

Thankfully there were enough Spanish and French speaking countries to go round!

I'm curious what's representing Spain, hopefully not another played-to-death song. But that's probably the smart thing to do with the rest of Moopy, yes.

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

I'm curious what's representing Spain, hopefully not another played-to-death song. But that's probably the smart thing to do with the rest of Moopy, yes.

Bet it’s LO MALO

 

[TiShh]

[Alla]

Bet it’s LO MALO

That wouldn't be that smart. I think it will be a (sort of) diva.

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

Poor ALLA

 

[Alla]

random singer

Another 0 sorted

 

[Kaleen]

I'm not sure who Alla hates more between Ruth and Saara...

 

[Alla]

Can we talk about nice things? Thank you.

 

[OutSynk]

What's a Ruth Lorenzo?

I wonder if that is a hint about who is going to be representing Aland Islands.
