In case anyone is interested to watch one of Europe's most idiosincratic and weirder institutions, it's happening live.

Ukraine is favourite to win due to the war, but with the mixed public + jury voting anything can happen.

also, i fubared the thread tittle, finding a mod lol

also, 2 notes on the influence of the current political events -
belarus was banned even before the thing happened due to controversies surrounding suppression of free media
after the thing happened mordor was initially decided to be allowed, but after pressure the organizers backed off and banned them

I turned this on for 30 seconds out of curiosity and now I want to get a giant Z tattoo and move to Russia. Good job Europe.

Count yourselves lucky then

 

[Peggies]

Yeah you go Ukraine!

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

nice callout to the resilient defenders of mariupol at azovstal

 

[Pegasus Actual]

Wait did I have a thing for 8 ft tall Dutch women and not even know it? Ahh moot point I suppose unless my hobbit physique is considered super exotic and sexy over there.

So Ukraine is going to win this thing with this horrifying 'song'. Can't we disqualify them for... I don't know... cultural appropriation? Tokenism?

 

[EviLore]

Catchy song from Norway. Nice moves from Spain. Huge reaction from the crowd for Ukraine.

 

[Chittagong]

Strong lineup so far. Netherlands was legit gorgeous, we got a Rasmus comeback, Spain was hot, Ukraine super weird & catchy

that singer is hot

meanwhiel germany presents a a lone singer doing all instruments by itself... what a metaphor for current events

Lol at the German analogy, its pretty great.

My top three so far is Netherlands, Spain and the Czech Republic

 

[EviLore]

When time is moving so farst

 

[Chittagong]

When time is moving so farst

Fucks sake, which one is it, fast or far

Our crowd was 50/50

 

[reksveks]

Great thread

 

[Artoris]

Finnish one was best, so far

Spain wins

Yeah but that's probably in Dutch feet. They surely have big feet too.

i liked their song, but i generally like folk music...

I didn't like the rap part though.

 

[Tams]

I completely went off it once Terry Wogan stopped doing the BBC commentary. I've tried getting back into it, but eh.

Looks like it's completely blocked from Youtube for US viewers.

Yeah, it's something you don't get for a change.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

I haven't seen such forward thinking use of flute since Jethro Tull took the heavy metal world by storm!

 

[reksveks]

I liked the flute...

 

[Wildebeest]

Tuned in too late for the Norway meme entry. Oh well. The old-fashioned Lithuania entry was tolerable.

 

[EviLore]

It's all so wholesome!

 

[reksveks]

The Greeks had the best of the ballads imo

 

[Zeroing]

Portugal isn’t going to win! We only won once

you have our 12 points, and always will

 

[Stitch]

moldova 12 points

 

[Wildebeest]

I can respect the energy are bringing, even if they are literally doing the Ramones thing.

 

[reksveks]

Did enjoy that

 

[Peggies]

Yay Moldavia that's the spirit!

 

[Kenpachii]

Thanks almost missed it

 

[EviLore]

Greece > Sweden

 

[Wildebeest]

Since 90% of the songs in the US charts are written in Sweden does that make this the US entry?

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

sweden's act is just boring imho... like not even trying

 

[Tams]

Moldova got the spirit right.

Sweden... she's great, chart topping stuff, but not Eurovision stuff.

 

[reksveks]

Yeah, didnt feel the Swedish entry. Much preferred the Greek one.

 

[Spukc]

Go belgium

 

[Wildebeest]

Australia more European than Europeans.
