[Benjamin]

Sweden is a banger tbf

[Maru]

We can watch Eurovision in the US, but have to sub to Peacock... good to know, I guess

[bots]

[Crimson Dynamo]

This is like Armenia from 8 years ago

[joeysteele]

It is another good one.

[Shaun]

it's fun but yeah I don't care for this at all lol, wouldn't put it on a spotify playlist x

[Vanessa]

:banana::cheer:

[Zizu]

Why are all these tubby women stripping off tonight ?

They should have all kept their clothes on

[bots]

i can still hum the switzerland song, that tells me all i need to know

[Crimson Dynamo]

Barry Buskum?

[Maru]

A lot of the good bops have already past for me

[Crimson Dynamo]

This is a piss poor Eurovision

[Zizu]

So much dross again this year

Jesus how we have slipped down from Abba and Waterloo

[Liam-]

I love this song, but I really don’t want Sweden to win again so soon

[Barry.]

Why are all these tubby women stripping off tonight ?

They should have all kept their clothes on

They don’t look tubby to me?

[Zizu]

So many bad or just mediocre singers this year hasn’t helped

[Crimson Dynamo]

They don’t look tubby to me?

There have been at least 5

Come on man

[Shaun]

why are we having a random music break in Eurovision of all ****ing things...

[Benjamin]

So much dross again this year

Jesus how we have slipped down from Abba and Waterloo

Ok that was like 50 years ago. Time to move on

[bots]

the standard has been low this year. My top 3 are:

Switzerland
UK
Germany

[Ammi]

why are we having a random music break in Eurovision of all ****ing things...

…:laugh:…

[Benjamin]

why are we having a random music break in Eurovision of all ****ing things...

Yeah I thought we’d reached the end then :laugh:

[Maru]

why are we having a random music break in Eurovision of all ****ing things...

Seems like they're going for heavy nostalgic vibes

[Crimson Dynamo]

At least Finland was a decent pastiche

[Shaun]

tinfoil hat but very interesting they make everyone sing Waterloo after the swedish entry :suspect: who have they been buying...

[Liam-]

Am I being thick or something, but why didn’t they just do the show in the stadium next door?

[Crimson Dynamo]

There have been at least 5

Come on man

6

[Ammi]

…France song is pretty but very uninspiring…

[bots]

Am I being thick or something, but why didn’t they just do the show in the stadium next door?

i'm guessing the roof is a plus :laugh:

[Maru]

Looks very Kelly Clarkson

[Ammi]

Looks very Kelly Clarkson

…she so does…

[Zizu]

They don’t look tubby to me?

its like so many songs tonight, mediocre

[joeysteele]

I like France

[Crimson Dynamo]

Boring

[Shaun]

i'm guessing the roof is a plus :laugh:

some of these entries could have benefited from a surprise pigeon invasion

[Zizu]

Ok that was like 50 years ago. Time to move on


They just played Waterloo !!

[Ammi]

…she got the golden buzzer…

[Maru]

The song has a chance, but the singing isn't helping. It's potentially great during portions, but then she somehow sounds deflated

[Crimson Dynamo]

They just played Waterloo !!

:joker:

[Vanessa]

Bit dull that

[Benjamin]

France :clap1:

one of my faves

[Barry.]

Meh

[Maru]

Her sand with the Turkish mud guy could've been great... all that surviving sand and mud

[Crimson Dynamo]

Great to see him make porridge

[Liam-]

i'm guessing the roof is a plus :laugh:

Ah well yes there is that :joker:

What sort of stadiums don’t have closing roofs these days?

[Maru]

Introducing our next Artist.... called "Roooombaaa"

[bots]

wtf is this lol

[Crimson Dynamo]

Gods teeth

[Liam-]

The majority of the French entries sound pretty much the same every time, pretty but completely dull

[Vanessa]

:dance:

[Maru]

No for me to the Kanye West masks please

[Shaun]

I can't even deny that this is the weakest year in a long time, if this qualified :skull:

[Benjamin]

San marinos is damn catchy

[joeysteele]

Oh yeah, forgot about this, I rather like this too from San Marino

[Ammi]

The majority of the French entries sound pretty much the same every time, pretty but completely dull

…yeah exactly that…

[Maru]

I can't even deny that this is the weakest year in a long time, if this qualified :skull:

I'm entertained, but yeah, I think that's just music in general of late.. I can hardly blame the show :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Oh yeah, forgot about this, I rather like this too from San Marino

Joey you have liked everything

Are you on glue?
:joker:

[Maru]

There are some gems for me, but they've passed so far

[Ammi]

…I am kinda dancing to this…forgive me…

[bots]

i think the staging has been on another level this year

[Benjamin]

Yay San Marino.

[Ammi]

…love this…:lovedup:..

[Shaun]

at least it ends on a high

[Barry.]

San Marino was not bad

[Maru]

i think the staging has been on another level this year

Yes, very creative

[Vanessa]

…I am kinda dancing to this…forgive me…

Same :laugh:

[joeysteele]

Joey you have liked everything

Are you on glue?
:joker:

Aw I love Eurovision LT.

I don't like Malta and Portugal.
Not liking Armenia either :joker:
So there's some I haven't liked :joker:

[Ammi]

Same :laugh:

…:laugh:..

[Vanessa]

And we end with a bop

[Crimson Dynamo]

This Eurovision is less Fabergé

And more Ratners

This year

[bots]

it's a great song until you realise she is singing about a trip to tesco

[Ammi]

…and finishing with the red queen…:love:..

[Liam-]

There are always some bad ones that qualify but the bad ones this year are on another level

[Maru]

Singing is great so far

[Benjamin]

Albania my absolute faves :love:

[Vanessa]

This is very Bond like. Fabulous

[Crimson Dynamo]

And we end with a bop

Until her mad uncle arrived

[joeysteele]

I'm not sure what I think of Albania's entry.

[Vanessa]

I love this

[Ammi]

…I don’t know what she’s singing but it’s pretty magnificent and I relate…

[Liam-]

Really don’t t understand the love for Albania

[Maru]

It's mixed but not in a bad way.... the quiet dude rap reminds me of Marc from Globe (J-pop band)

[Barry.]

I liked that one

[Crimson Dynamo]

Surely Finland wins?

[Vanessa]

Time to vote guys !

[Maru]

If her albums are as musical as this song, they're great albums I'm betting

[Vanessa]

Surely Finland wins?

I really hope so!

[Crimson Dynamo]

[Shaun]

…Celine…?…

[Barry.]

[Maru]

Albania is good also

[Shaun]

I just think there's still a possibility Ireland could pick up points...

[Maru]

Albania is like a dance version of Fiona Apple for me... in that you have to listen to it a few times to get what the vibe of the songs are actually saying...

[Vanessa]

Voted

[Ammi]

I just think there's still a possibility Ireland could pick up points...

…:laugh:…maybe even pull that win…?…

[Shaun]
