Eurovision 2015 Semi final 2
May. 23rd, 2015 09:43 pmWould it be wrong to open by saying the dangling balls are spectacular? Maybe you had to be there.
We open again with our three hosts, or Austria's Charlie's Angels as the Australian commentators are calling them. Nice dresses all round tonight, including one that looks like a Klimt painting. And Conchita is wearing tonight's pantsuit! I am reading this as a loving homage to Hillary Clinton. (Go Hils!)
The contestants are parading again, it's a bit of a shambles and there was a bit of an accidental flash from Malta. Memorable, madam, very memorable.
(Side note, there was a woman on the bus today who had minimal English and wasn't sure where to get off, others had tried in English, I tried French and Italian, non parlare, and was about to give German a go, when I realised that I can pretty much say 'Do you speak German?' 'Please', 'thank you' and 'Can you direct me to the lavatory'. So I mimed where to get off and retreated, defeated.)
They're still excited about Australia being there and there is a lovely audience shoutout, Good Evening, Vienna, you're lovely! The hosts quickly check the pyro effects and wind machine, and we're off!
( The songs )
