Eurovision 100: Semi Final 6

[ButterTart]

Before revisiting it just now, I thought my answer was a certain NO I AM NOT. However...

You know what to do. We can’t have that awful Efendi slithering through because we didn’t make sensible choices.

 

[ButterTart]

Do you not have a Cyrillic keyboard? It is 2021, after all.

I have an alphabet and numbers keyboard. What does this Cyril bloke have on his?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

How do you tag that please?

Don't you have a secretary type out your posts for you? Just have them sort it.

 

[Эулия]

I now can't stop thinking about 'Wolves Of The Sea' and its heart-stopping key change thanks to that awful @ButterTart and I discover on Wiki that "the song was originally intended for Swedish Melodifestivalen where it, entitled Här mellan himmel och jord ("Here, between Heaven and Earth") was intended to be performed by Drängarna () However, Sweden rejected the song."

How RUDE AND UNGRATEFUL!

I didn’t know that! I’m glad they didn’t get their mitts on it though, Latvia allowed it to really flourish on the grand stage.

Yes, you don't get renditions that stunning very often in a lifetime

 

[dmlaw]

Only 48 hours before voting closes.

Get those votes in. I'll @ you all again.

 

[COB]

Planning to do mine today!

How many votes so far, Diego?

 

[dmlaw]

How many votes so far, Diego?

Still 13. I may just have to assume that anyone who doesn't vote wanted to give 20 points to 'Wolves of the Sea'.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This was a fabulous semi. I hope people are voting.

 

[dmlaw]

This was a fabulous semi. I hope people are voting.

They are not. I think they just want me to choose who goes through.

I mean seriously! Some of the queens up there were watching MOLDAVIAN webcams last night

 

[COB]

I'm doing my whittling NOW!

 

[COB]

Planning to do mine today!

Also this was a lie sorry

THERE IS ONLY ONE WINNER



I do love those camera shots which give you the POV of the artiste and a definite sense of a mid-song "Am I actually doing this with my life and why?" existential crisis

 

[dmlaw]

There is a certain look of "Oh, God, this will be the first line of my obituary" in the lead pirate's eyes.

Along with "I know this is fundamentally quite piss poor but I don't care" as an alternative

 

[Эулия]

Why was the audience BOOING? Had a really great song from somewhere amazing like Malta failed to get through the semi, only for THAT to get all the votes from drunken Germans instead?

 

[ButterTart]

The woman looks quite comfortable with ‘best remembered as a titsy pirate’ featuring in hers.

 

[dmlaw]

You'll be pleased to hear that we are now up to 19 votes but I always want more.

I'm particularly sad not to have heard from @Raining On Me @RJN and @VoR. I'm not sure who else usually votes, but they should get in here.

 

[RJN]

Sad!

I will be voting!

 

[Soldi]

So @Lucille DID VOTE in the end?

I mean I got eaten by an elephant and still managed so she had no excuse.

 

[Lucille]

I voted today!!!

 

[dmlaw]

Lucille has voted.

I'm just going to go ahead and tag the other people who haven't yet, even though most of them probably have no interest and/or have died.

@Iguana @SDF @win_the_game @BoysForSeles @dUb @Hak @Penelope @FetchFugly @Jacques @Haiku @Rhythmbarbican @Apocalypt Flyer @lolly @Эулия

 

[Soldi]

I voted today!!!

Well done hen!

Drink a bottle then do a Kinga!

 

[dmlaw]

Less than three hours to vote.

The qualification line is razor thin.

 

[Raining on Me]

I'm on it now! As if I'd forget after hosting and bullying everyone into it last week! That would be terribly rude.

Although I will say, be careful what you wish for in this scenario. My last minute persuading managed to tip the scales out of favour and send a couple of quality numbers packing, when if I'd stayed quiet, well...

 

[Lucille]

When are the RESULTS??

 

[Raining on Me]

Also Vor didn't vote in mine either, so I'll be fumin' if he votes here

 

[Raining on Me]

Done! That was a bit easier than I thought.

Denmark 81 and t.A.T.u. are essential choices here that I suspect will be playing limbo with the qualifying line...

 

[Dark Carnival]

To any last minute voters, don't forget ARTSVIK!

 

[Dark Carnival]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IS OOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Pretty sure @VoR had been voting.

 

[Lucille]

I’m a bit annoyed at 1981 having the WRONG AUDIO!

 

[Raining on Me]

Pretty sure @VoR had been voting.

Well that's just fucking shit then.

Bet he would have voted Ami Aspelund, too
