As there has been some interest in a live thread such as the ones on r/eurovision, here is the live thread for the first 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.

My tier list:

TOP:

Ireland. Bambie Thug KILLS IT!! Outstanding song and choreography.
Croatia. Hype song, fun costumes.

MID:

Serbia. Generally don't like ballads but this one was ok. Plus I dig her "look"
Lithuania. mid song but excellent performance
United Kingdom. Weak song but inventive performance.
Ukraine. The rapping is pretty good.
Poland. Weak song but once more, the staging is great.
Slovenia. Good voice. Song is ok.
Finland. Fun performance, song is a bit weak
Sweden. Hey, when school gets out, you want to go to the alley outside the club and do karaoke?
Azerbaijan. Mid song though I dig their clothes and the one guy's ululations
Australia. Ok song.
Luxemburg. The best of the "mid" songs so far.

LOW:

Cyprus. Not terrible, but unremarkable.
Iceland. Umm... The background lasers were nice I guess...
Germany. Lucky for them they already qualified lel.
Moldova. Graphics reminded me of a screensaver. The end where she played violin and sang in a high pitch was good, she should have done more of that
Portugal. The background dancers had some interesting moments in their choreography though

I am in the states so I have not been able to watch the performances yet. But from what I saw from their previous performances, your top tier matches with mine. I really like Croatia’s.

Yeah, either gotta find a friend with Peacock, or a friend with a VPN.

I ended up subscribing to peacock for a month to watch. It sucks that I cannot watch the stream from today though.

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Oh is it bc of work? Last year for the first half hour I took a call while watching it in the background...

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No because it was over and there is no option to watch it.

As long as it's not geo-blocked you can try the YT livestream. It's still available (for me) but don't know if it works for other countries.

It is unavailable in the states. Which is why I subscribed to peacock thinking I could watch the stream afterwards. I will mess with my vpn today and try and get the YouTube working.

[–] You@feddit.de 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Too bad. German public TV still has it too. If it's available for you - click the three dots ... and under 'Sprache und Barrierefreiheit select English.

I got it working on YouTube with proton VPN, and then today Peacock had the replay available. Watching now, thank you for your help.
