As there has been some interest in a live thread such as the ones on r/eurovision, here is the live thread for the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.
Sadly, I didn’t find any Lemmy equivalent to https://reddit-stream.com/. But as this community is still pretty small, I think refreshing the website once after each song should be okay.

    This is my first time hearing Armenia’s entry and I am really digging it. I love folk music especially when modernized.

    Talking about German fans and showing a group with a Belgian flag. Nailed it!

      They have anti boo filters.

      But if there’s enough booing it gets through. That it did means there was a decent amount.

      Also apparently in the practice round there was a bunch of booing.

      Edit: apparently EBU also added fake cheering during Israel’s performance. So much for EBU being “non-political”. It’s one thing to remove disruptive sounds but another to artificially hype up a song.

          They made it to the final. Would’ve rather seen San Marino there. But maybe now Germany has a chance of not being last.

              Holy crap, almost 40%, it wasn’t even good. I suppose they were pissed at San Marino for choosing a spanish group.

        That’s like something out of dystopian sci fi! Who would have thought that Eurovision would build the Torment Nexus? 😮‍💨🤬

      Did you listen to the lyrics? It’s a 100% win. Well done, Switzerland, you know how the game is played!

    Why does it feel like every song I really love has performances that are a bit less than what I hoped for and every song I didn’t like that much has so much better performances than I expected?! xD

      Spain has entered the chat. (Unsure if that is what you are referring to, I am at work and catching it between customers, plus I am in the states and likely seeing it behind EU)

        My comment referred to the moderation part before. They showed ‘esc merch’ for fans - a t-shirt, a hat and a thong :D

    I always enjoy browsing Xitter(formerly known as muskless) during eurovision, but all I’m seeing is posts about people calling hate on Israel antisemitic and people defending Israel’s actions using whataboutism. I know I shouldn’t expect anything else from xitter, but I’m still appalled. They defend annihilating an entire country for what a certain group in said country did.

    By giving voting money to a song contest, and bragging on social media, I guess.

    I feel like I’m much more critical today than in the first semi finale as today, most of my favourites sing which I have high hopes for while at semi finale 1 many songs were only in my mid range and I got completely surprised by their high quality on stage :/
