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.
Dude Armenias so good this year. Her energy is fantastic!
Same here, definitely the biggest positive surprise so far
But why are they named after a car?
Same reason as Pantera?
Ah yes, the Witcher combat music entry.
Belgium, dude no wonder I can never find a decently priced mic any longer you bought them all.

The true winner of last year’s ESC.
San Marino’s show is wild AF!
And somhow didn’t qualify for the final.
They were robbed for sure.
Yes; such a positive surprise (for me) :D. Singlehandedly improved the song so much on my rating
Talking about German fans and showing a group with a Belgian flag. Nailed it!
Did you see the dude with the Austrian flag and Ireland hat?
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
I went in expecting Joost to be my #1 today and came home with Armenia instead.
Damn Switzerland really fucking slayed huh
Did you listen to the lyrics? It’s a 100% win. Well done, Switzerland, you know how the game is played!
Honestly surprised at the lack of boos for Israel
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.
Really hope they don’t make the final and spoil it
They made it to the final. Would’ve rather seen San Marino there. But maybe now Germany has a chance of not being last.
While hoping for 0 points for Israel, I’m not sure anymore seeing Italy’s televoting.
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? 😮💨🤬
Me when I get back from the beach and shower for the third time to get rid of all the sand
Eurobeat was strong in semifinal 2
The last piece is from Windows95man - European Thong Contest indeed.
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
GÅTE is the crossover chevron7@lemmy.world has been waiting for!
Anyone know what the violin keytar is called? And those pants the guitarist was wearing are excellent.
ETA: it is !chevron7@lemmy.world

I tried to get the link to work for a while and just gave up
Anyone else expecting Apophis to come through Israel’s Stargate?
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 :/
Yeah, I’m with you. I found the first semifinal much stronger so far.
