    Eurovision 2022

    Is this week! Semis are tonight and Thursday at 8pm on BBC Three.

    UK are sending their best entry in a long time and stand a good chance of doing alright.

    Ukraine are favourites, unsurprisingly, although the song isn't very good.

    Personal favourites are Spain with the best slag banger since Cyprus 2019, and Iceland with an 80s-y female Fleet Foxes type thing (that's going to have to fight to qualify tonight). Both below for your viewing pleasure.

    Ukraine's reward for winning will be not hosting it next year.

    Posted in the betting thread.

    Jury results come first, I think we should know pretty quickly how it's looking. If Ukraine are getting 7s and 8s from the first handful of countries, they've probably got it in the bag. 2s and 3s, game on.

    If Switzerland hit double figures an inquest needs to be launched.

    Alternating between alright (relative to Eurovision standards) and shit so far. That Swiss song would probably work better if performed all out Tom Waits style.

    France the best one yet, even though the individual parts don't really come together. But at least there were some catchy bits.

    The song is too plain here to match all the wackiness of everything else.

    First year in a long time I won’t be watching with the Ukraine thing. Not worth watching a race when you already know the horse that wins. Haven’t even seen a song, no point.

    Mahmood's last Eurovision song (Soldi) was better. This is a bit shit.

    This song is the worst thing to happen to Ukraine in 2022.

    The production this year is by far the worst I can remember. Another reason to cheer for Sweden.

    Even if they’d attached some meaningful bollock lyrics to something like Reichenem here then they could have sold it as something real for Ukraine, but the song is that terribly bad it will always just scream token. Did none of the feel good merchants think to check their song first?

    That German effort could be great but it's missing something and it falls short.

    Lithuania with by far the best singer yet. Song's lacking something though.

    Belgian effort is easily top 3 of what we've heard so far.

    It hasn't been great thus far though.
