Default Eurovision Song Contest 2017



Quote:
The Eurovision Song Contest 2017 will be the 62nd edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It will take place in the International Exhibition Centre in Kiev, Ukraine, following Ukraine's victory at the 2016 contest in Stockholm with the song "1944", written and performed by Jamala. This will be the second time the contest takes place in Kiev, after 2005, and the fourth Eurovision event after hosting the Junior Eurovision Song Contests in 2009 and 2013. The contest is expected to consist of two semi-finals on 9 and 11 May and the final on 13 May 2017.
Forty-three countries will participate in the 2017 contest. Portugal and Romania are to return to the contest, both having been absent from the 2016 edition. After returning in 2016, Bosnia and Herzegovina has again withdrawn due to financial difficulties.
Semi-Final 1






Semi-Final 2







Final





What do you think? If your country is participating, do you like the song that is going to represent it in Ukraine? What's your favourite one?

And yet, nobody here seems to have a clue who this Isaiah kid that's representing us, is.

Well as far as the UK entry goes: I've no idea who Lucie Jones is, I keep reading the title as 'Never gonna give you up' and I think, despite her voice being strong, the song itself is a bore fest. Apparently they jazzed it up a little, so it was even more boring originally. I've no idea how it won in the UK selection show. Mind you, I did hear a couple of the other contenders and.... I know it's a ballad, but it's not at all sing-a-long worthy.

Yeah, i'm aware I sound like a miserable so-and-so right now .

She was on the XFactor a while back. I believe it was the year that Joe McElderry won.

I was about to make a thread for this ! (Was just too lazy to do it )
Our singer was completely unknown as well but I'm in love with our song this year !!
I'm really digging Italy's, Azerbaidjan's, Belgium's, and Denmark's songs as well.

Edit : Austria's singer is called Nathan Trent !!
Is he as handsome as Drake and Kurtis combined ? XD

He's quite easy on the eyes. Too bad the song is nothing special.
