I want to, but I'm going to have to wait an extra 12ish hours. (silly tv isn't showing it live)

Unless there's a website I can stream which can cope with shitty Australian internet.

I guess I can help discuss the semi-finals though.

I go for watching the semi-finals so that I can see the 11 countries that don't make it through.

The second semi final was much better than the first, but then I don't really remember any of the songs from either (even though I just watched them last night and tonight)

I think I might have liked Hungary out of the songs from SF1, but all of SF2 had interesting stuff that managed to merge all together. (let's just say the Australian special guest song was best since it was also the last, even though I don't think it was). Actually Romania if they had ended with the long note before going into the awkward hug.

I think from the glimpses of the big 5 that were shown,
Spain
Germany (maybe France as well, since it's the "fun" song) is the only one of those I don't see scoring highly.

E: I can't even remember which of those are what, I think I'll leave it until Australian tv gets around to showing it.

You're going to have to make them watch it as well. Being in a country that doesn't care about it is no excuse, show them the errors of their ways!

I just think that our commentators promise of ireland having a donkey host next year wasn't believable enough.

Someone wake me up at 5am so I can watch the final live please. Otherwise I'm going to have to go vote on just the last few songs assuming I wake myself up early enough. And I suppose what I've just seen the past two nights in the semi finals.

I managed to wake myself up 15 minutes after the start, but decided it was to cold.

Then my dog wanted out just before the winner was announced :/ I fail to have a successful media blackout.

I'll still watch it tonight, as the winner doesn't really mean anything in terms of enjoying the songs.

My top 5 from junior Eurovision

Ireland
Serbia

The commutators we got for this were horrible though.
They need to interview the contestants

I've just set my alarm woo

I'm probably going to regret this. I don't even have phone credit, so I can't vote, although that may be a good thing

I was falling asleep during Montenegro, I wasn't sure until after Iceland, but I think it was their song sucking

I'm not sure if it's because I didn't get up early to watch the second semi final and therefore wasn't half asleep when I watched it, but I feel this one had much better songs.

Especially Macedonia not getting through :(

What is Georgia doing with those horrible lights?
I should have got up early and voted, then I'd be eligible to complain about those

Australia voted how I would have voted if I was going to have done stuff like that, so I'm happy.

(if I voted it probably would have only been once and it would have been for Belgium)

I'm currently trying to not have myself listen to the tracks before they're live, i don't want preconceived expectations if I decide to actually vote.

The Eurovision app says I'm not allowed to vote.
I'm pretty sure I watched Australia in this semi-final, but if they don't want to let me, then oh well, I can just hope on other people voting.
I mean I usually have

Moldova would have been my vote, the rest were a bit more boring.
Replace Australia with someone else though, our song wasn't good enough

I didn't really like that song though.
Although I guess it was better listening when I wasn't sleep deprived. (Although learning what the lyrics actually were translated via subtitles made me dislike it again)
