[Black Dagger]

Felt it deserved its own thread away from Nicky's nonsense.

[Nicky91]

if italy wins with this porn act with that gibberish fake italian language, worst winner ever

:idc:

[Black Dagger]

Well that lasted long.

[Nicky91]

Ukraine should flop if there is any justice with their gibberish dumb fake own language

[Nicky91]

in Graham Norton's words: Italy, Finland, Ukraine are just noise and not real music

a time for elderly to go outside or bathroom break

[Shaun]

perched for the Ukraine supremacy :flutter:

[Nicky91]

perched for the Ukraine supremacy :flutter:

Televote winner incoming :lovedup:

[joeysteele]

There's not many I'm not keen on actually.
I think it's a good standard this year with a good mix of styles and songs.

The politics aside, it would be hard to pick a winner from them really.
Sadly the voting will reflect some politics, however, still a good night of entertainment coming up I think.

So many I like a lot, so good luck to them all.

[Shaun]

Televote winner incoming :lovedup:

me hunting down the jury members who put it any lower than 8th?

[Nicky91]

Televote winner incoming :lovedup:

your opinion, not mine


also try not to trust the televoters too much


i mean after all they went for Poland's Szpak in 2016 ;)


i think Ukraine, Serbia, Lithuania could all have great televote scores


Russia middle of the road scores and maybe somewhere between 11th-15th



can see Germany getting a 0p from juries but a slight boost from televote to avoid bottom place, can see Moldova being a contender for last place, and depends on how James performs it tonight either (but that gold suit is going to be quite distracting i think)



Italy a better result with televote, than with juries (juries dislike rock overall pretty soon anyway we saw in past contests)

France better with juries than televote, because of bit dated (timeless for some but it won't slay the televote)


Switzerland a nice song, but i'm distracted by those awkward dance/hand moves, ugly staging (why not just him standing there with a universe backdrop)

[UserSince2005]

Merge this with Nicky’s thread please. No need for two.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I'm so excited!
I don't expect Italy to win, because I know rock is not liked by everyone.
But they're brilliant and I know they're going to have a great time.
Hope Switzerland and Portugal do well.

[Black Dagger]

Merge this with Nicky’s thread please. No need for two.

Generic so far

[arista]

Well Done Belgium
Using a few real musicians

[Tinsel Toes]

Liking Belgium

[arista]

Russia

Typical Weird Beat.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Quirky

[Christmas Dynasnow]

But that middle Eastern beat is not commercial

[bots]

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Im liking Russia.
Very original.

[Calderyon]

Top 5 so far (for me):

Serbia
Portugal
Cyprus
Israel
Albania

Russia bottom.

[Marsh.]

Is this our worst entry ever?

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

The UK has so much musical talent.
But they're not sending their best.

[arista]

UK


An Average Song
Nothing Special.

[Captain.Remy]

The dude from UK is attractive. He can get it :laugh:
Side note, the Serbian girls were hot.

[bots]

the uk entry does nothing for me

[arista]

Is this our worst entry ever?



Yes could well be one of them

Blame the BBC Process who picked him.

[joeysteele]

The chorus of the UK one is good.
The verses sound flat sadly.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

The outfit was bad

[Denver]

Is this our worst entry ever?

Andy Abraham and Gemini exist, it's a good song just very forgettable.

We need a song that has a really memorable chorus

[Tinsel Toes]

The dude from UK is attractive. He can get it :laugh:
Side note, the Serbian girls were hot.

May have been hot but very dated

[arista]

The dude from UK is attractive. He can get it :laugh:
Side note, the Serbian girls were hot.


Sure Capt Remy
but a bog standard song.
He should have done a Rock Number

[arista]

Greece

This is amazing from Switzerland

[arista]

This is amazing from Switzerland


Yes they have worked harder than the UK

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Strong from the Swiss

[Captain.Remy]

Switzerland has that Spit Nation thing

Yeah but singing in French never makes you a winner. It's English or (almost) nothing.
I even have a hard time understanding what's he saying in my own native language :skull: He must be from Lausanne or something.

[joeysteele]

Loved the Swiss entry.
Was spellbinding.

[Tinsel Toes]

Wow that was a brilliant performance and that guy can sing :cheer2:

[arista]

Yeah but singing in French never makes you a winner. It's English or (almost) nothing.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

This is a bop :dance:

[bots]

[Captain.Remy]

France is my favourite.
Then I'm usually very pro the French.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Israel
Albania

[Captain.Remy]

Bulgaria's song is not gay enough to win. Where is the sparkly silver :joker:

[arista]

Italy is number 24


Jolly Good

[Captain.Remy]

I admire the bravery of not dressing up and showing up to Eurovision the way you would dress to buy some lukewarm beer at the grocery store at 11pm on a wednesday night.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

It's a bit of a dirge

[Captain.Remy]

The bearded dancer in the back can get it too :laugh:

[bots]

this will be LT's favourite

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

This is so catchy :dance:

[joeysteele]

Liked that from Lithuania.

[FaLaLaLand]

Malta/Iceland/Russia are my faves so far.

Bulgaria probably the dark horse tonight.

Finland also was brilliant but very niche.

[Tinsel Toes]

This is so catchy :dance:

It was very odd but strangely a bit entrancing ~ reminded me of old skool raves

[Parmy]

Ukraine robbing the sea shanty

[bots]

Ukraine one is a bit ify

[Captain.Remy]

What is she doing

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Awful

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Not keen on this.

[bots]

freaaance

[FaLaLaLand]

Can see that doing well honestly...

[Parmy]

Cant hear what shes saying

[bots]

ohhh this is good

[Captain.Remy]

She's depressing tbh

[Parmy]

Sounds like a scouser on a night out

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

This is so much better!

[Tinsel Toes]

Not keen on this.

Hardly Edith Piaff , infact nowhere near

[bots]

this is my winner so far

[Captain.Remy]

Why don't we get special effects, sparkly dresses and gayness overload for once :shrug:

[FaLaLaLand]

Didn’t like that at all!

[joeysteele]

Absolutely loved France.

[Tinsel Toes]

Why don't we get special effects, sparkly dresses and gayness overload for once :shrug:

Here ya go a glitterball for you

[Captain.Remy]

Yes some fierce showgirl to get our energy back up. My homegirl France made me sad.

[bots]

i don't quite know what to say about this one :laugh:

[FaLaLaLand]

Our entry this year should have been Steps/Michelle Visage’s song. Still stand by that.

[Tinsel Toes]

i don't quite know what to say about this one :laugh:

Another mash up fom other hit songs.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Not sure why Norton is bigging up a lot of terrible songs?

[Captain.Remy]

The white fur coat I didn't know I needed to go grocery shopping.

[bots]

oh wonder if we will get some swear words

[FaLaLaLand]

This is very East 17...

[Captain.Remy]

oh wonder if we will get some swear words

:skull: I thought of the same thing but didn't dare writing it. We're going to hell for that :laugh:

[bots]

This is very East 17...

its very generic

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I quite like this.

[bots]

last christmas i gave you my heart ....

[Captain.Remy]

I would love to be the intern pushing the button to get those fire flames out hahaha

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Another dirge

[Tinsel Toes]

That was tragic

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Howtall is she in the purple?

[Captain.Remy]

The moustache was not necessary though

[bots]

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Wtaf is this pish?

[Parmy]

That blokes having an epileptic fit.

[Captain.Remy]

In what language is he singing

[bots]

Wtaf is this pish?

see above :laugh:

[Parmy]

Oh, it's a bit drill, this holland entry

[Christmas Dynasnow]

How deluded must you be to think this has value?

[Parmy]

**** you bbc.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Get off you dick

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Italy next

[Captain.Remy]

Italy has won the 2021 San Remo festival so you know they will place high

[Parmy]

That was amazing from Italy. :dance:

[Tinsel Toes]

Nice voice

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Awful
Is this a dude?

[bots]

[Captain.Remy]

He looks like a Mortal Kombat character

[Captain.Remy]

Not the best but I predict top 5 for Sweden again.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

This is painful

[joeysteele]

Liked Italy and like this Swedish one too.

France is my favourite though followed by Switzerland.

[Tinsel Toes]

Not the best but I predict top 5 for Sweden again.

I like it

[Black Dagger]

LT not liking any POC lol

[Captain.Remy]

Ok costume queen....

[bots]

i predict the uk will be in the bottom 3

[Captain.Remy]

What is Flo Rida randomly doing here

[Tinsel Toes]

Very Daddy Yankee Gasolina

[Captain.Remy]

I honestly don't know who will win. I can see Lithuania, Sweden, Italy and Finland doing well but that's about it.

[bots]

France, Portugal and Sweden will be top 3

unless everyone is having a laugh and germany is the winner

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I'll just vote and then go to bed.
I have work early morning.
I've loved the show and so glad it's back.

[Captain.Remy]

Nobody will vote for France anyway, they all hate us :laugh:

Between Germany and UK on last place, I think.

Hopefully Germany wins (or loses) that race.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I think Finland will win.
Hope Italy do well, they're were amazing tonight.

[Calderyon]

Europe to troll vote Germany to win?

[bots]

France won it for me

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

It's a two horse race between Italy and France. Praying Italy do it.
