Eurovision 2018: Semi-Fnal 1

As Portugal had the best song in Europe in 2017, they get to host the competition to find the best song in Europe this year and tonight is the first semi-final with 19 nations fighting over the 10 available spaces in Saturdays Grand Final.
Two of the songs i have tipped to win the whole shebang are singing tonight with Israel and the Czech Republic hoping they are not a victim of what can be some very random voting by the European public.
The Israel song is very catchy but the weird chicken noises in the chorus give it an air of 'we are not taking this too seriously' which the Eurovision pretends it's too serious for now so could hold it back when they total up the points from the professional musicians jury.
The Czech Republic song is a slick, Bruno Mars-esque tune and the sort of song generally does well but the voting is so weird and wonderful that anything could happen.
