Eurovision 2024: Semi-Final 2

 

We're back for the second semi-final. So far we have seen Croatia, Cyprus, Finland, Ireland, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Portugal, Serbia, Slovenia, and Ukraine all make it through to the Grand Final.

Today we had 16 more countries performing for one of 10 places. There were also performances by Spain, France, and Italy who prequalified for the Grand Final. 

We decided to play along again and used the scorecard from Mission Eurovision which has four criteria to judge (each scored out of 10):

• BOP-ABILITY: How much of a bop, a banger, a CHOON the song is! Makes you wanna (dirty) dance!
• GIVES ME ALL THE FEELS: Does it make you all warm and fuzzy inside? Does it make you delirious with joy? Does it make your heart ache – and not just because you ate ALL the sausage rolls?
• OUTFITS BE SNATCHED: Category is: FIERCE! Dressed to impress, and not a nip-slip in sight.
• FLAWLESS PERFORMANCE: On a scale of Jemini to Conchita, how much did they NAIL IT?

We then worked out our ranking from our scores:
