I heard people recently making comparisons of the Eurovision Song Contest with the Superbowl ... but I don't see why. As far as I know ...
... in the Superbowl, competitors of equal strength, experience and training meet for a showdown:
you never know who is gonna pop up on the Eurovision stage, young or old, celebrity or newbie, rapper, rocker, opera singer, jester, stripper, astronaut, monster masked heavy metal band ...
... they face each other in a game governed by strict rules monitored by fans and referees:
you NEVER know what is gonna happen in Eurovision, a true night of artistry and on-stage magic, fans are judges and all want something different ...
... all takes place on a well groomed field:
this is one and the same stage? Cages, animals, trampolines, barbed wire, transparent pianos, water tanks, 150.000 Swarowsky stones, and 71 million pixels in the background allow for every artist do to whatever they can come up with ...
... it features the highest paid and most anticipated commercials:
if you see a commercial during Eurovision, it will be a quick one by your local broadcaster, the show must go on, though in some countries they block the transmission of specific countries with longer breaks ...
... everybody is looking forward to the intermediate show act:
because it features water fontains, Cirque du Soleil acrobatics, Riverdance, Australia plugging itself between UK and Scandinavia to participate, and .?!. No? Oh, sorry, Eurovision again ...
... it is not a good idea to be an openly gay participant:
last year a reporter asked poor Måns if he believed that he "only won" because of the sympathies of all the gay viewers *giggles*, that was AFTER the Bearded Lady won ...
... everybody wears pretty much the same outfit:
dresses, staging and props are a well guarded secret ... THAT is more like the Oscars and a reason to peak into those 20-30 seconds of rehearsals for each participant. I am immensely happy and proud to see an Israelian gay man on stage this year and like Paulina, Russia, last year all covered in Swarowsky stones ...

Magic of Eurovision has started! 
Måns looks soooo dapper and his performance had me cry of joy in no time.
18 acts ahead, 10 tickets to the finale ...
1) Finland sounds a bit out of breath to me ... a doubtful case, so the song's energy has me on my feet.
2) Greece has nothing special to me this year ... still not after their performance.
3) Moldova's song has wowed me from the beginning. Her dress is ... well, but the break-dancing astronaut OMG ... but her voice is flawless.
4) Freddy from Hungary
, such a dreamy guy ... great song, too, his voice (woohoo), best song so far and SURE in the finale .
5) Croatia has another astronaut dress design ... spacy, an outsider, but still a good song, great performance, fantastic outfit, well done!
6) Dutch bad boy Douwe Bob, the only country song this year? LOVE this song since the first time I've heard it ... Finale without Netherlands? NEVER. Shaking hands! What a great guy! and that wink in the end *sigh* - BBC calls it Nashvi..sion! LOL.
7) Armenia was my favorite before the rehearsals started ... how many horses in this year's postcards? ... too much leg, lady, but flawless sound and lots of smoke and fire on the stage ... fantastic performance!
8) San Marino ... time for a bath room break ... ... okay, nice red suit, but all the gals in shiny silver dresses are counterbalancing something.
9) RUSSIA!!!! Great expectations! Have you SEEN his half-nude pics ... SO amazing *drools* OFMG that's in it's own league ...
10) Another of my favorites this year. Czech Republic, flawless, beautiful and her ballad can compete with the energetic performance just before.
11) Cyprus. What did their band members do to deserve to be put into cages? Greatest rock/metal song this year!
12) Austria with a soft French song this year, great voice and cute girl, great dress, I hope they come to the finale, this first semifinale is TOUGH!
13) Estonia has no chance I think ... written by the guy who came in 7th place last year ... mmh
14) Azerbaijan's song will wake me up again, great hopes for this one. No mircale needed for them to participate in the finale!
15) Montenegro ... another bathroom break ...
16) Iceland's song is really not my thing this year
17) I hope that Bosnia & Herzegovina will see the finale, I don't understand their song at all, but I like it ... It must be cold in Stockholm, why are they wearing thermal blankets??? Oh, and the barbwire ... and the rapper crashing the party ... interesting performance for sure, lol
18) Malta is a top favorite this year I believe ...
BBC is calling the voting part "EUROGEDDON" ... their tweets had me laughing all the time, love the British humor.
Okay: Who's gonna be out? 1 - 2 - 5 - 9 - 13 - 15 - 16 - 17
Europe. Start. Voting. Now. Quote

Another Eurovision night
Another 18 acts, another 10 tickets to the final ...
Yeah, musical time about the history of Eurovision! Eurrovision goes Broadway.
... Takes some time to sing/name all the participating countries, lol ...
1) Latvia - Justs is cute, but on the whole doesn't get me off my seat ...
2) Poland - one of the front runners this year, his long hair makes me soooo jealous. His voice is beautiful, I admit that, but his ballad is so pathetic.
3) Switzerland - this doesn't remind me at all of Celine Dion, don't like the outfit, the hair color changed AFTER the postcard was done ... what did this girl do to herself?
4) Israel - First song I am looking forward to! We are made of stars and Hovi is our Star Lord (it's the Swarosky stones )
5) Belarus - YES, naked with a wolf ... beautiful guy :D and so ... animalistic :D:D:D, such a gruff voice
6) Serbia - a more minimalistic look than in her video puts more focus on her great song
7) Ireland - He's one cool dude. No sunglasses needed in the sunlight! and this twinkle in his eyes.
8) F.Y.R. Macedonia - nice robe ... not really more to say
9) Lithuania - again, nothing special, really, so he jumps through some vapor? *yawn*
10) Australia - love it, love it, love it. Koalas and beautiful costal scenes in the postcard, all I wanted to see. Powerballad! beautiful outfit, a winner song!
11) Slovenia - Theory of colors is new to her it seems ... nice (country?) song, but a bit dumb text ... The Danish acrobat is a highlight though *coughs*
12) Bulgaria - Another very powerful song, one of the better songs in this semi-final.
13) Denmark - Great personalities from a small country. *proud swollen chest* So well balanced voices, wow, just wow
14) Ukraine - Okay, so that's the song with the heaviest historic-political message and in a language NEVER heard before in Eurovision!
15) Norway - Some say that a constant change in tempo is not good for a song ... but it works very well here ... experimental, but great result!
16) Georgia - only two metal songs this year ... and this is not the better one ... ""Georgia rocks that stage until there is nothing left!"" from Eurovision correspondence, lol, nice
17) Albania - She'll have a hard time with her ballad ... all are deaf now - Beautiful gold dress and ... gold hair??
18) Belgium - Last one already? ooohhhh. Funky, shiny, Eurovision!!!
Okay: Who's gonna be out today? 1 - 3 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 14 - 17
:D Europe. Start. Voting. Now. For Denmark .
Time for a break, what's the interval act today? Quote

I feel sad for you, Chris, as you are such a big fan and can't cheer on your own country
Here in the UK I think we still qualify for the final automatically. And we have the incomparable Graham Norton as commentator. I see you have mentioned him several times in this topic.
As the UK are going to decide next month whether to leave or stay in the European Community it will be interesting to see whether that affects votes for the UK. The UK duo are 2 cute guys, and their song has a catchy "oh oh oh" hook. In normal circumstances I think it would do quite well.
I was tempted to put a bet on Australia, based on your comments and those of the lovely Akim. However, it will be a scandal if a non-European country wins Eurovision. It would also cause major problems if Australia become the hosts of next year's contest
All will be decided tomorrow (Saturday) night

What a sweet comment, ronnie.
Germany, too, is part of the Big5, which is a BigProblem, hehe ... lots of people ignore these entries, they get less promotion, are less visible than the other participants who seem to have to fight more. Sympathies are flowing towards them.
I think Denmark won, just back in 2013, so they qualified automatically in 2014 ... and have lost since then. But on the other hand, more Eastern European countries qualify, which I think is a great opportunity for them.
I have NO hope for our entry this year and never voted, but watching is fun for sure.
Good luck to all! (Okay, I am rooting for Czech Republic and the Netherlands)

Hovi Star has become my star, I think he's just awesome.
So my favorites are
Israel
Cyprus
Russia
Netherlands
Australia
...
I better stop here, lol
Well, it's a tradition that the Danish ESC participants give a concert in Tivoli Gardens. I've been there the past year, I'll go again this year. Will be great!
Also, 2013's ESC winner Emilie de Forest will give a concert, too, later this year. So much to look forward, too.
Thanks for all the great comments!
Watch live: eurovision.tv/page/webtv at 9pm CET = 3pm ET ComeTogether ;)

In 2013 they made a lot of allusions to China tuning in for the first time (and had an Australian interval act, though Australia didn't compete that year ).
In this year's semi-finals, they had quite some Broadway show going and a lot of "Let's explain the unexplicable".
And this is only the opening to the 2nd semi-final. On naming all languages that were used in songs they ended with "Music is a language that we all know how to speak" .
I would love to know if you get all the jokes, because I don't understand all that's going on in American Television.
Clearly, they got Justin Timberlake to perform his new song "only" to make Americans stick to the show.
I would have preferred any "non-singing" performance artist over him. Such a shame. Quote

Such great argument when not realized to sale shit for gold
