Eurovision Song Contest 2021

I sort of fear Senhit could have a Saara Aalto trajectory of scraping through the semis on televotes but then struggling for attention in the final and ending up well down the leaderboard. I just can't see juries going for it and on the night the other female led bops will outshine it for public attention.

Would love to be wrong though!

Yeah, and only 1 or 2 of them were his songs. He was just a feature on the rest. He hasn't charted in the UK in 6 years.

Don’t tell the Barbs we aren’t really including features in #1s ddd

Gasur · May 20, 2021

Czech Republic
Greece
Finland
San Marino
Denmark
Switzerland

Then I'm pretty much indifferent about who else qualifies tonight.

A key difference being that ‘Adrenalina’ is actually a good bop.

Adrenalina is definitely the biggest bop of the year, hoping she gets a good second-half placing in the final. It deserves to go Top 5.

Gasur · May 20, 2021

Adrenalina seemed a lot stronger in March, but it's easily been overtaken by other bops.

constantino · May 20, 2021

Adrenalina is a banger but I can't see where the jury votes will come from in the final, but I can see it getting lots of televotes.

As of right now, and based on just listening to the songs and not the performances, the only countries I really want to see pass are Greece, Latvia, Moldova, Portugal, San Marino and Serbia. Aside from those, and Georgia and Austria, which are just no good, basically everything else in this semi is a cute 6-7 so I'm not too bothered which pass and which don't.

Duncan Laurence just tested positive for COVID. I hope they immediately re-test the people who were .01 cm away from him during the show, including one of the hosts.

Haha queen! Can you share the link? I would love to see that.

It was during a live stream on instagram but she didn‘t post the live after it finished so it‘s sadly gone.

Not him too, mess.

Alenko · May 20, 2021

But how is that possible? He was tested negative on Monday. So what has he been doing on Tuesday and Wednesday? Mess.

I worry for Saturday. But guess that‘s the risk.

What if the hosts all test positive? Oh no.

MiChiMadNesS · May 20, 2021

Yeah, I'm not going to lie this does have me a bit rattled. They'll surely be putting everyone into strict lockdown between now and Saturday.

I'm sure that Martin Österdahl has Petra's phone number.

Gasur · May 20, 2021

What's the rule in the Netherlands for self isolating if you come into close contact with a confirmed case?

soratami · May 20, 2021

This is worrying, only a few short hours before the second semi-final too. Hope the hosts are fine and everything can still go ahead.

Loochito · May 20, 2021

Senhit really pushes through the performance, all those pyros, Flo Rida, serving looks, vocals, choreo, she's doing THAT. It's still one of the strongest bops for me.
Also prayer circle that Latvia pulls a Lea Sirk.
Sad for Duncan, worried for all the others but hopefully they're all fine

They are always testing every 48hours and are testing everyone who was in close promixity with him extra.

He tested negative on Tuesday too but developed mild symptoms on Wednesday and then test came out positive.

Test test test. She'll be fine if she's negative and they are testing the hosts extra much.
