After getting through the first half of the first Eurovision semi final last week, it’s only fair that the second half also got a go. Michael, Liam, Mark and Io gathered together to preview the songs in the latter stages of the semi.
The entire range of emotions were on display with the nine songs on offer, from total hate to party love. You can share your thoughts by voting for your favourite below, and being in the running for some great prizes from Lisbon (if you’re a JOY member).
What song had Mark fuming?
Which singer did Liam regret doing karaoke with?
What does Io hope the Austrians do with their staging?
It’s all in the podcast.
