Goop point! Georgia are very unlikely to qualify as well! Maybe Cyprus (there is a big Russian connection there) or a new Central European friend, like Czech Republic or Hungary?

Poland?  I know miracles doesn't happen

Aaaand Norway became odds favorites. I haven't heard their song yet, but name "That's How You Write A Song" sounds super corny + cringy + cheesy.

 

Also it's Rybak...

@kungshamra71 Is it true that everyone is always smiling in Portugal, as showcased in these promo videos?

 

It is true they will always (or almost always ) smile for tourist yes haha

 

I recognize we must be one of the friendliest people in Europe for foreigners, even when we dont speak their language and they dont speak/dont want to speak english (like spanish or french tourists).

 

And i loved the promo videos, really showed many nice towns and places in Portugal!

[kungshamra71 892]

Ok, so I loved everything in this first semi final (the Lisbon intro, the videos between each songs, the really nice "Planet Portugal" and the salvador sobral part), except for the songs 

 

I mean I know it's eurovision so it is expected to be quite crappy, but I don't think I liked that much even a single one of them this year (maybe Estonia's, because of the nice voice).

 

Oh well, can't wait for all the intro videos on the second semi final! 

[rybak 3,222]

Time for second semifinal! Good luck everyone 

[rybak 3,222]

Btw. Alexander Rybak's song will be 1500th overall song performed in whole Eurovision history.

I'm curious about the Dutch Waylon. He's been crying in media all the time because they weren't positive enough 

Which led to him boycotting certain newspapers 

 

One of those newspapers 'reviewed' all songs after the rehearsals and then wrote this about him (after the boycot):

 

Quote

 

A felt-through tribute to country music. A song that could not have come from deeper inside the singer's soul. You just feel the music flowing through the veins of the artist. Adding the dance style of krumping is a hartwearming innovation on the Eurovision podium.

 

- This message has been approved by the 2018 Media Handbook, by Waylon.

 

 

 

 

And all that lead to memes like this, with the famous North Korean news reader
