For anyone who is interested, Flo Rida actually posted his top 10 songs from semi-final 2 on his IG (no surprise on who is in the top 10).
Don't think he did one for semi-final 1 though.

Edit: Actually, looking at the picture again, Flo-Rida re-posted the picture that is originally posted by another user. So this is not his top 10. MY BAD.

Is it the final variant tho?

Refreshing scoreboard design, finally

 

[Betwixt Tales]

I always tell myself I'm going to do this but my utter fanboy inside screams for details and I find it almost impossible to resist

It is hard, especially on YouTube because you'll see the images used for thumbnails.
I don't always succeed in trying because I'm curious as well. But darn it I will try!

RIP my sight + flags with white stripes merge with the background.
Tho I hope it's gonna look better on TV/PC screen. More creamy/peachy.

I like the old school scoreboard look. And finally not in blue. It's been 84 6 years

Am I the only one who will try and avoid anything related to the rehearsals the next while?
I don't want to be spoiled for what each country will do beforehand. I want to savor those moments of surprise for the actual shows.

Yeah, I do this. I understand that curiosity gets the better of people, but I love the feeling of being genuinely surprised by something unexpected, like 2018.

I'll have to avoid coverage and the forum for a while (except the Big Brother game), starting Saturday.

One advantage of this, though, is that I end up watching the previews and predictions afterwards with perfect hindsight, which helps in a small way to fight off PED.

Give me all the spoilers!

I will try to avoid to look the rehearsals in this year. Perhaps I look only fake qualifiers from each semifinals, if they will do that.

Wowww, this looks like a cool thing!!

It's awful quality and hard to see but I'm super happy we've finally got one that doesn't appear to be blue after so many years of blue and various other shades of blue. Something bright and vibrant.

Here's another look from Jan Smit:

Looks much better. It's more peachy/beige, white doesn't merge with the background that much.
+ purple is my fave color, pink suits the whole thing too

Fake qualifiers.

I will never rule anyone out before we see the results. There are always shock qualifiers with the added shock of someone people thought for sure would make it, being left in their semi.

The INFE Poll has been running over the past couple of weeks (INFE is a network of fan clubs like OGAE). With 19 of 22 clubs reported thus far, Switzerland leads by nearly 50 points over second-place Malta. San Marino, France and Lithuania round out the top 5

They correctly predicted the last 2 winners (Netta and Duncan)

Perhaps I supposed to use Fake results instead of fake qualifiers.

This one shows the scoreboard transitions:

I like the flag colour outlining on the countries when they get 12. Nice detail.

Isn't me only one after reading about Online Eurovison Village it sounds like Club Penguin Island...

It looks like usual to me. What did I miss?

Well, it was a cool game, wasn't it
But I don't think it's like a game.. if it is then it's a bit funny

Anyways what I would be excited about is Afrojack concert and performances by ESC 2021 artists.

It's not blue
