Eurovision 100: Semi Final 6

[dmlaw]

Good Evening Eurofans of Moopy and welcome to the 6th Semi Final of Eurovision 100.

51 songs, 29 countries, 5 wins, 4 non-qualifiers and at least one of the most baffling flops in the history of the contest.

We've got God-tier bangers, we've got all time greats, we've got delightful hidden gems, sometimes all in the same song. We've got win_the_game nominations so you'll have time for a pee or to get more alcohol. This is very much the semi final that has everything, so don't miss it. What else do you have to do with your Friday night?

The show starts Friday 26 February at 20.30 British Clock Time with the playlist up ten minutes before. That's less than 26 hours away. How exciting.

[GinAg (39)]

This is such a fabulous semi.

2009 to 2014 is especially strong. But there are big hitters in every era.

 

[ButterTart]

Results and a Friday night gala. What a day to be alive.

 

[dmlaw]

There's a massively strong run in the mid-90s, as well.

People. You will require more than one wig.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Yes the 90s have some HOT TREATS

 

[ButterTart]

I’ll be starting with this one, with several smaller wigs underneath.

Divina?

 

[Raining on Me]

Oh so this is where all the good songs went

 

[Raining on Me]

Cannot wait however!

 

[ButterTart]

Divina?

It was supposed to be Bella Emberg, but I think they sent me the wrong one.

 

[dmlaw]

It was supposed to be Bella Emberg, but I think they sent me the wrong one.

I think you might have ticked the 'Janet Devlin' box by mistake.

 

[ButterTart]

I think you might have ticked the 'Janet Devlin' box by mistake.

It did come with twelve cans of Tennents Super...

 

[dmlaw]

Two hours to go. Repeat. Two hours to go.

This is not a drill.

 

[GinAg (39)]

VERY EXCITED

 

[Lucille]

I do love a FRIDAY NIGHT edition.

 

[Alla]

Oh wait, is this TODAY? I'll set an alarm or I'll forget.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I cannot oversell the fact that there are some astonishing clusters of CORKERS tonight.

 

[dmlaw]

Oh wait, is this TODAY? I'll set an alarm or I'll forget.

It sure is. Friday nights are tough to get, but I find that if you threaten to set off a bomb, people tend to agree that whatever they were planning isn't all that important.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I have cancelled all of my vague nonexistent plans tonight for this.

 

[ButterTart]

I went up the Asda and got some Irn Bru WKD for this.

 

[Soldi]

I quit my job for this.

 

[ButterTart]

We're now live and sticky.

 

[GinAg (39)]

The second performance tonight is astonishing for all the right reasons.

a) song :emoji_ballot_box_with_check:
b) dancing :emoji_ballot_box_with_check:
c) outfit :emoji_ballot_box_with_check:

 

[Soldi]

Can’t believe their setting off fireworks in my village for this.

 

[GinAg (39)]

A VOLCANO HAD ERUPTED HERE FOR THIS

 

[GinAg (39)]

I'm POISED

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I'll be here in full for this. I'll still disregard anything released before the millennium but I'll give it a token listen!

 

[dmlaw]

People near me are so excited that there is gunfire coming from just the other side of the canal.

This is actually true.

 

[GinAg (39)]

The Friday night shows are always SPECIAL

 

[ButterTart]

A VOLCANO HAD ERUPTED HERE FOR THIS

I've exhumed my great grandparents because I don't think they'd want to miss this.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I've just realised we still half an hour. Bollocks!

 

[ButterTart]

People near me are so excited that there is gunfire coming from just the other side of the canal.

This is actually true.

I swear to God if you're tragically killed by a stray bullet I'll be so pissed off.

Who lives near dmlaw's castle who could step in at short notice?

 

[dmlaw]

They are filming something, so it's just possible that they aren't using real bullets.

 

[RJN]

I’m going to be late (for vaccine reasons ) but I am back after missing last week. I was going to listen to them but the reviews made it sound not as essential

 

[GinAg (39)]

I've organised a terror attack to fill the time.

 

[ButterTart]

I've just realised we still half an hour. Bollocks!

I also did not realise this. I'm sitting here dressed as Katie Boyle in preparation and now I just feel ridiculous.

 

[ButterTart]

They are filming something, so it's just possible that they aren't using real bullets.

Unless they're filming Ross Kemp on Gangs.

 

[Lucille]

DOUCHING with DOM PÉRIGNON for tonight’s EXTRA SPECIAL EVENT.

 

[Soldi]

I’m going to listen to MAPS for half an hour
