" We make music, friends with every nation and bankrupt the hosting TV station! That's #Eurovision!" "Well, we can promise you a cracking Eurovision tonight." -Graham Norton
Are you all ready for this to go all aboard?
It is now time once again to resurrect your LJ accounts and get ready for some shipping wars in this year's Hetavision! Last year, Portugal captured the Eurovision title in the biggest upset ever last year in Big Sis Ukraine's house, and now this year in Lisbon, we have ourselves a party in Port’s shipyard house for a musical party, and the battlefield will be in the sea, only here on Livejournal!
What is Hetavision?
Hetavision is the annual greatest crossover event between Axis Powers Hetalia and the Eurovision Song Contest. This is a annual gathering of APH fans from across the globe to watch Europe's favorite and the longest-running annual international TV song competition since it started in 1956. There are two Semifinals and the Grand Final. In order to make it into the Grand Final, some of Europe's best must place within the top 10 in each Semifinal according to votes with the exemption of the Big Five, which consisting of Big Bro France, Germany, the Italy Bros, England, and Boss Spain, as well as the host country. The best country in Europe who had a combined score based on the national jury and the televotes will win the contest and the right to host next year's Hetavision.
I got some shocking news that one of Spain's commentators, Jose Maria Inigo, is passed away on Cinco de Mayo. May his soul be rested in peace. And, for the first time since 2011, no country will be withdraw from the competition!
So, what is gonna happen in the first semifinal?
Can Iceland be the choice to qualify? Can Sis Belgium have a matter of time to advance? Can Czechia intimidate the Backpack Kid? Will Liet's emotional performance can make us cry? Will Belarus have her forever on her big brother? Will Epicstonia have the force to qualify? Can Bulgaria pick up the bones? Is Roddy performed enough to qualify? Can Greece and his cats be qualify? Will Tino and his monsters conquered the stage? And will Vash throws the stones at us? So buy your snacks and drinks early, put the BBC Eurovision Twitter tab into your Chrome, and fangirled and fanboyed all you like!
Portugal (the host), Boss Spain, and Iggy will vote in this semifinal.
The roster (in draw number order):
Azerbaijan, Iceland, Albania, Belgium, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Israel, Belarus, Estonia, Bulgaria, FYR Macedonia, Croatia, Austria, Greece, Finland, Armenia, Switzerland, Ireland and Cyprus

It's midnight here in my home country, and have a Happy Mother's Day to all of our moms!
And... YES. Because I can. And that post title is paying homage to the first episode title of Yuri!!! on Ice. So, Big Sis Ukraine will turn the stage into an ice rink, and the green room will be the Kiss and Cry, as this theme for the Hetavision Grand Final will be figure skating!
So, it is sad for me to end my favorite annual grand tradition (Fear not, I will see you all next year!), but I manage to pull it off for my Tumblr friend, kitty144, because due to the conflicting scheds in her to-do list, I cover both the semis for her. You're gonna be okay, dear! So Big Sis Ukraine's backyard will have a big party with the finalists, and the winner will have dance lessons from Big Sis herself! So...
- Make sure to put BBC Eurovision Twitter page on your browser to copy and paste it on the comments section (Chrome works too!)
- Put Graham Norton jokes on the comments section - Make sure to buy your snacks (or make some for yourself) and drinks at your nearest mini mart - FANGIRLED and FANBOYED all you like!
Can the Venezianos pull out the gorilla dance (and Grandpa Rome) to win the title that they desperately deserved for? Will France has the hots for his audience? Will Germany (and Prussia) overcome their performance? Can Iggy have to escape the dreaded Nul Points? Did Antonio's 'Stoned Francis Bonnefoy' plan worked to win the title? And... will Big Sis have to win back-to-back if she's have time? And also... which of the grand finalists will have the eros or some with have the agape?
The Grand Prix Final Participants (in running order):
Israel, Poland, Belarus, Austria, Armenia, The Netherlands, Moldova, Hungary, Italy, Denmark, Portugal (WELCOME BACK!!), Azerbaijan, Croatia, Australia, Greece, Spain, Norway, United Kingdom, Cyprus, Romania, Germany, Ukraine (host country), Belgium, Sweden, Bulgaria and France

Eurotalia's favorite annual grand tradition continues with the second semifinal, and let's continue to #CelebrateDiversity with Big Sis Ukraine! But because it's Friday here in my home country (the Philippines), let's make a Flashback Friday special, so we can remember some of the craziest moments of the contest.
Oh, and to recap the events of the first semifinal, the qualifiers are (I add the number of finals appearances to be exact):
Moldova (9th finals appearance since 2013) Azerbaijan (10th finals appearance) Greece (37th appearance since he didn't qualify last year) Sweden (56th appearance in the final) Portugal (This is his 41st finals appearance since 2010) Poland (14th finals appearance) Armenia (A grand total of 10 finals appearances) Australia (2nd finals apperance) Cyprus (28th finals appearance) Belgium (She got her 51st finals appearance!)
So, we all know what's gonna happen in the second semis. Will Roddy's handmade bomber jacket get it through and running on air? Can Romania's yodeling skills upset Vash? Will Neddy destroy the competition and made Canada proud of himself to cry no more? Will Elizabeta dancing through to the final? Can dear Denmark knows who he is? Can our dear Norge grabbing the moment to the final? Will Vash's performance made it through? Will Belarus dancing to the final for her big brother Russia? Can Bulgaria made a beautiful but scary mess to punch the ticket to the final? Will Liet bring a heavy rain of revolution to see Feliks? And can Eduard found his own Verona? We'll have to find out for tonight! So buy your snacks, put the BBC Eurovision Twitter tab into your Chrome, and fangirled all you like!
So, Big Brother France, Doitsu (and the sneaky Prussia), and the host Big Sis Ukraine will casting their votes, with the exemption of Russia, who is originally planned to perform, but he withdrew from the contest due to the conflict that he caused from entering his big sister's house. That is terrible for him, so he got no choice but to watch at the bar with the non-qualifiers.
The roster (in draw number order):
Serbia, Austria, FYR Macedonia, Malta, Romania, The Netherlands, Hungary, Denmark, Ireland (current Eurovision King*), San Marino, Croatia, Norway, Switzerland, Belarus, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Estonia and Israel
* - stating that he has seven Eurovision titles under his belt.

Prep your snacks, drinks, your leftover food, call your besties, and FANBOY AND FANGIRLED ALL YOU LIKE! And also, prepare for some Graham Norton jokes on this (he always doing this every year) so make sure to prep your paper and pencils for this! The romance and the voting drama are here to witness it too! The worst part: someone's gonna award the evil but cursed 'Nul Points' to the country who got last place. The interval act will be even more amazing when special guest Justin Timberlake (with America!) will perform 'Can't Stop the Feeling' in its world premiere performance!So, are you ready to cheer your favorite country? Well fear not, let's get the party started and let the GRAND FINAL TOGA PARTY BEGIN!! EXTRA NOTES: Romania (aka vampire boy) was originally scheduled to be performed in the contest, but he got no choice but to withdraw the competition due to unpaid debts.
