Last night was the seccond act of the Eurovision Song Contest 2017, and what an act!!!! Starting with the opening and finishing with the outcome..it was way way better than the first semifinal. The quality of the songs much better, and the Show, and the way it looked on TV was amazing. Such a big difference from the first semifinal. Congratulations to the technical team for improving it all. The opening act was sooo good, and exactly the way it was supposed to be: fun , musical, and "eurovisionised" :) Now to the songs: Tijana Bogićević - In Too Deep (Serbia) https://youtu.be/A0wAd-a0hXA Tijana w

The show will be opened by a traditional folk band with dancers, and a gimmick that you will all love :) .. The presenters will sing along some Eurovision hits, and it will be soo much fun. This semi-final is the hardest to predict. It has many good acts, ethnic stuff, ballads

Or maybe it was the audience that was the problem...we don't know , but if you will whatch it on TV again ..you'll know what I mean.  Apart from that, we love the stage...it's unique and fun, and it has so much potential. The hosts were fun enough, but toooo well behaved. We wo

Tonight, starting 22:00, TVR will broadcast LIVE the first semifinal of the Eurovision Song Contest. 18 countries are compeeting for 10 spots in the Grand Final on 13th of May. At first it might seem like a light semifinal, but it is very hard to actualy predict the qualifiers. Apart from Portugal and probably Armenia, who are in top5  spots to win the contest at the betting odds, the rest is just guessing. We also gave credit to Georgia, pure out of instinct :P , Australia, who so far didn't miss a note, Sweden who is a hot favourite every year, ....this year I can't understand why, cause it is such a sh
