Bienvenue, welcome and baruch haba to this year's Song Contest in Tel Aviv! Last year's winning song was about not showing undeserving men your Pikachu.
Here's a nice map courtesy of Wikipedia user AxG:
red - countries in the first semi-final (14 May)
pink - countries which go straight to the final but can vote during the first semi-final
dark blue - countries in the second semi-final (16 May)
light blue - countries voting in the second semi-final
As usual, the final follows on Saturday which is
18 May. All shows begin at 19:00 GMT/20:00 BST/21:00 CEST and a livestream will be available under
eurovision.tv.
Tehani!

It's very dispiriting.
I have a friend who much more genuinely enjoys it, and I feel like maybe she deserves to be hosting Eurovision parties more than I do
Apparently Logo TV will be showing it live in the US
Whoops I was wrong, this is on me again.
We got two weeks - has anyone listened to the entrants yet? If I were a betting man, I'd be on it, but that's the only vice I've managed to avoid.
My honest hope is that they go back to not bothering for the US because it is frustrating that I can't watch performances from the last two years on youtube due to geolocking on the Eurovision channel. As much as I like watching the music videos, There are quite a few live performances I would rewatch from the last two years!
Based on studio cuts, I'm rooting for The Netherlands, Italy, Iceland, Greece and Cyprus. Totally down with Greece and Cyprus giving each other their 12 points this year.
Edit: I feel like there is a good variety of genres for the contest but there are a plethora of male ballads this year which are normally not my thing. That said, my number 1 is a male ballad this go around but my top 5 are definitely all different styles.
His song also included the line that he would show us Tel Aviv

I don't think they are even allowed.
This includes "something involving fishermen"
This is perfect.

And now fetish fuel
I mean, I'll be wearing a costume because I don't believe in going to a party without a costume, but that's just an assumed element

Oh my god, maybe it's the one-year-withdrawal they always put you through but this is already getting really close to peak Eurovision
Yeah that was pretty rough
We have peaked
