THE SECOND SEMI final of Eurovision was on last night and because Ireland weren’t involved, people found it a bit hard to get excited about it. That and the fact that it was just much crapper than the first one.

Nevertheless certain aspects of it did get people talking.
Norway sent 2009 winner Alexander Ryback as their entry this year and he just wasn’t as good as he used to be.

I mean I know Ireland can say NUTHIN, but y'know....the CHEEK #EUROVISION #NOR
But also how has he not aged in 9 years?

San Marino had robots which was odd.
The 3rd smallest country in Europe telling us that size doesnt matter #SanMarino #Eurovision pic.twitter.com/2DQHKtDfA5

Is it meant to look like the robot is flipping us the double bird? #Eurovision #SMR pic.twitter.com/JB6L7bAnMy

Denmark sent an entry about Vikings which was fun.
IS this Viking Pop?
— Seán Connolly (@TheSonicScrew) May 10, 2018
Vike-Pop?
VOP? #Eurovision #DEN
As someone from a town that was raided by Vikings, I have to say that this song is INCREDIBLY insensitive. I fear for the churches of my town #eurovision #den

The usual jokes were made about Australia being involved.
I love that Australia joined as 'special guest' and then just didn't leave for a few years so now we're stuck with them

...BUT THAT'S OUR THING #Eurovision #AUS
But in fairness, their entry was pretty good.
First bona fide banger of the evening. Love #AUS #Eurovision

Slovenia are hurting my eyes.

I like that.#Eurovision
The true hero though was the Ukraine who had the two key elements of any Eurovision performance: Vampires & fire.

The biggest story of the night though was that Russia didn’t get through.
Russia don't qualify for #eurovision meaning that the eurovision voting system is harder to hack than the US election and brexit referendum.

The final takes place on Saturday and the running order has been released which puts Ireland in a pretty decent position. The one drawback is that Cyprus will follow us who are one of the favourites to win now following their incredible performance on Tuesday.
