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.

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?
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
Belgium, dude no wonder I can never find a decently priced mic any longer you bought them all.
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!
Ah yes, the Witcher combat music entry.
But why are they named after a car?
Same reason as Pantera?
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
I always enjoy browsing Xitter(formerly known as muskless) during eurovision, but all I’m seeing is posts about people calling hate on Israel antisemitic and people defending Israel’s actions using whataboutism. I know I shouldn’t expect anything else from xitter, but I’m still appalled. They defend annihilating an entire country for what a certain group in said country did.
By giving voting money to a song contest, and bragging on social media, I guess.

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

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
What I love about Eurovision: there’s always a weird, funny, silly entry from either the eastern countries or the northern ones, and on some years you get more than one. This is a good year for that. So thank you Netherlands, Finland, Estonia and all the others that make me laugh out loud.
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!
Very hyped for Angelina Mango - she’s been sounding better and better in every preparty.
Edit: I hope they change the sound mixing in the finale. Her voice is disappearing a bit too much in the drumbeat.
Just on song 11. And semi final 1 seems much higher quality. Hard to see anyone beating Croatia, but Spain and Malta both stand outs so far tonight so far
These interchangeable long-haired women in skimpy outfits with the dance style of rhythmic pelvic floor gymnastics are a bit boring…
I prefer fun performances and hope that these artists do well.
I prefer fun performances
Aaaand here comes Estonia for that. I had only seen a little of their song. Love how they have the crowd chanting, the traditional instruments, the on-stage beefing. Good show.
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? 😮💨🤬
