I can see the flags fine here too.

Thank you

Now I want Algeria to win so that @bestmen can put on the best show ever for the next contest. xD

We need to call the police and the fireman... and bestmen xD And thanks for the 8 points.

I still remember that from the very first contest

Thank you

Thanks.

Thanks for your prediction. Maybe we will, maybe we won't, but it'll be nice to break away from the European domination for once

Now only and are without points. I ain't too worried about it tho.

Thanks for the 8 points

Morning, peeps. Just saw the opening ceremony and it's spectacular. Well done, Slovakia. Also, thankfully the flag issue was resolved because they looked broken on my end lol.

Wow I wasn't even paying attention lol, but yes I am GMT -4 and I've already swapped with @dcro so we're good.

Sure I'll swap with Croatia if @dcro agrees to it as well.

I'm not a fan of Ukraine's song, but they deserved victory. You can't hate on a powerful performance, plus I think it sounds better live. And even though I like Australia's song more, I'm happy they didn't win. But I'm extremely happy that Poli gave Bulgaria their best result ever! She may not have won Eurovision, but she's my personal winner and she'll always be in my heart. Oh, and Logo TV aired Eurovision here in the states for the first time and the commentators were shit. Absolute shit. And no, they didn't show Justin Timberlake here, so really idc at all.

Finally has voted

I think we may have a surprise winner this year. Everyone may be focusing on Russia and Australia and Ukraine, but someone unexpectedly will come around and give them a run for the money.

I should finally send mine in later today, so keep an eye out.

I'm so happy for Bulgaria! At least now that's one less hurdle for them. I'm still in shock about Iceland and Estonia not qualifying, as well as Norway. And especially Georgia qualifying. Obviously Russia, Ukraine, and Australia are dominating the bookies, but I don't think any of them will win.

Historic semi to say the least. Finally Czech Republic has a final added to their name, I'm happy for Azerbaijan, Russia, Hungary, but sad for Iceland (finally a good song) and Estonia, and why Croatia? That song is so dull, as is the Netherlands. Anyway, I'm legit scared for Bulgaria for semi final 2, even though I know they will pass, you never know. XD

Gave my first listen to the songs (finally after a delay) but hopefully we'll get it down to about 14-15 by tomorrow.

Yeah, I wasn't too keen on Poli's outfit either, but it doesn't distract me from the song, and it shouldn't stop people from liking it anyway because she slayed. Okay, I know I'm saying this because she is my number 1 this year, and I really want her to qualify, but honestly I haven't seen the other 41 rehearsals, so I gotta get to it. xD

We're still working on our votes, but expect them to come this weekend because next week Eurovision will be the only thing on my mind, so we're gonna have to finish up by then.

I've actually heard a few of these songs before they were chosen, but we will start our voting process very soon.

Yeah, this is unfortunate for Ovidiu, being in the center of this whole fight between the EBU and TVR. I mean, yes, the EBU should've picked a better time to withdraw services for TVR due to them defaulting on their debt, but at the same time, TVR should've at least made payments since the EBU had been asking for the money. Either way, it's messed up and I can only feel for Ovidiu after everything he has done.

Yeah, I gotta start listening to the other songs soon. But 35 countries is actually pretty good for the rebranded contest. And welcome you'll have great fun around here.
