Overall I would say that Semi-finals One was more fun than Semi-finals Two. The recent semi-final had more stereotypical Eurovision songs, and not as many that felt authentic. Too many people wanting to win and not enough wanting to share a song with their audience. I don't always like who Australia sends to Eurovision. But Go-Jo should have been a shoo-in for the Grand Final. His song "Milkshake Man" was as good as another favourite "Espresso Macchiato". I didn't expect him to win Eurovision, but he should have been heard from twice.
Anyway! Some favourites from Semi-finals Two!
Austria "Wasted Love". WOW! What a VOICE! @Joyce Donahue, you might like this.
Australia "Milkshake Man". Go-Jo's performance was impeccable. We even get a cool magic trick!
Luxembourg "La Poupée Monte Le Son". The singer is definitely vibing with The Barbie Movie. Here in Australia we get English...excuse me Australian...subtitles (done by our channel SBS). The lyrics are brilliantly feminist.
I liked Germany "Baller" It was a fun dance song.

Denuvo will lock you out of games on Linux, SteamOS, Steam Deck if you keep changing Proton versions
Although for some of us this is a well-known problem, it has appeared again with the release of DOOM: The Dark Ages so it's worth a quick PSA to remind people about Denuvo activation limits with Proton on Linux, SteamOS / Steam Deck.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

I'm enjoying the combination of fediverse lag, celebration and exhortation as the EU crosses the line in a petition to ban conversion therapy. About 40% WE ARE SO CLOSE KEEP GOING, 40% WE DID IT, LET'S KEEP GOING and 20% SOME SIGNATURES ARE ALWAYS DISCOUNTED KEEP GOING, the whole thng is beautiful and amazing and inspiring and if you're in Europe just go put your name down.

🐎 It is a Trojan horse for surveillance disguised as „anti-smuggling“
💰 It would expand the budget for a problematic agency
The EU must take responsibility for forcing migrants into life-threatening situations, change its hostile border & migration policies, and reject the expansion of Europol’s digital surveillance powers.

how do you think it stacks up vs the rest of their discography (if you've listened to it yet)?
PPC are an immense live band, like really, really good, but for some reason I can't quite place I'm a bit more up and down on their studio stuff.

I actually don't watch any of those singing contests because as a classically trained singer I generally find the singing mostly unbearable. Too many wailing women in skimpy outfits. I also abhor most of today's pop music. Sigh. Thanks anyhow. (old person rant 😜)

JJ
A countertenor with a distinctive voice that can reach soprano heights, JJ has already made a name for himself in the classical music world.
The singer, whose real name is Johannes Pietsch, was born in Vienna in 2001 and grew up in Dubai before returning to Vienna in 2016.
Music fans may recognise JJ from the TV talent show Starmania, where he showcased his extraordinary voice and range, making it to the finals of the show in 2021. Currently, the Austrian-Filipino artist performs at the Vienna State Opera and has participated in numerous productions, including Die Zauberflöte, Von der Liebe Tod and Tschick.
Offstage, he continues to refine his craft by studying classical music at the renowned Music and Art Private University of Vienna (MUK).
