Acting as if his sleeping dart of a pretentious shitty song and his stupid "performance" is high art or something.

No surprise he finally exposed himself as the douche he was hinting at being. Have fun being forgotten in a month and bye.

This is the most GAF post I've seen this year

 

[Doffen]

Boring and forgettable song. About as bland and boring as the Norwegian contribution.

 

[His Majesty]

Y'all thought the Pope was in Portugal today just taking a break? No such thing my friends, he was getting some higher favours ready

fuck the pope for blessing Portugal =(

Well I can live with Portugal winning, at least it wasn't as bad as last year's winner.

 

[DukeBobby]

His sister has an amazing voice

Yeah, she sounded good.

Him on the other hand...

 

[Syder]

The best song won. lmao at the salty people here.

It's Eurovision...

No one gets actually salty over this...

 

[cyen]

No, you got it right the first time, treta lol

I wasnt fast enough to edit that What a shot on the foot

 

[Fliesen]

Well, now it's Portugal's job to host the least flashy most 'purely music focused' ESC ever.

No pyrotechnics, no LED wall. Make it happen.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Greatest song and greatest speech in Eurovision history. Well done Portugal. But Im sure this wont be a turning point and the usual trash music will be back next year. Lets hope Portugal can save us again next time.

Maybe next year we have a song that is actually just silence for 3 minutes

 

[LostCaress]

This is Lisbon right now:

 

[Zelias]

Portugal's song was poor and the guy is a pretentious arse, but at least Moldova got third.

Youtube and Spotify are filled with pretentious assholes. Eurovision should be a celebration of everything awful.

They probably don't have money for those things anyway!

This is Lisbon right now:

not because of the Eurovision tho :3

lol

This is Lisbon right now:

Not for Salvador though

 

[TheBowen]

This all must have hurt you hard

Spoiler

nobodys actually salty, its just people 'avin a laugh about countries

 

[Oersted]

Thats no Atemlos

Sing Atemlos

 

[DerZuhälter]

I love the idea of two siblings deciding that the eurovision songs are trash and that they would create a song so unlike everything, but that it is still so good, that it forces everyone to vote for them. And after winning, they go up and tell it to their faces.

They are right though. A lot of the songs today were, even if they were well performed, generic shit you can't tell apart or even worse, trying to copy other popular shit.

Salvador saying as it is

I wasn't rooting for him but I'm ok with this result.

 

[His Majesty]

This is Lisbon right now:

everyone is suspiciously red

 

[MessieurCouchon]

Why would you want this though? The world is FULL of good music these days. Can Eurovision not just stay Eurovision?

Good music deserves to be everywhere, especially on stages where artists get exposure.

 

[Shahadan]

Eurovision has not been about dumb/flashy music for that long though, so the definition of Eurovision may vary.
It'll come back soon enough anyway.

Kind of including his Disney song though. I don't see what people find so unique or moving about it.

Bloody hell nev. Lol.

This post is embarrassing, maybe you're just a little drunk.

 

[DiddysKongQuest]

Goddamn fuck I hate Barbara so much

 

[CTLance]

So Germany won? As in, we didn't get zero points and didn't get last place? 😳

Also, grats to Portugal.

 

[LostCaress]

Portuguese people earlier today gathering to show support for Sobral:

EDIT : his name is literally Saviour (salvador)

 

[Fliesen]

They probably don't have money for those things anyway!

seriously thinking about taking a trip to Portugal next year. Should be perfectly affordable. And it's a much more attractive destination than some eastern European country (no offense, Belarus,Ukraine,BalticStates,Romania...)

 

[DerZuhälter]

Portugese jazz song is a Disney song? The fuck you smoking?

 

[DECK'ARD]

Goddamn fuck I hate Barbara so much

I could never hate someone called Barbara. Which Barbara are we referring to?

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I mean, I genuinely think the song is utter trash but it's Eurovision.
Being utter trash is almost a requirement to win.
Congratz to Portugal, see ya next year

Spoiler

Still wish this song wasn't so fucking boring.

 

[KraftyKrankins]

Thank you all that supported Bulgaria. We did well still. A lot of people on my Facebook feed are mad at the Portuguese song. When you think how bad we used to be at this contest and how much we've improved... Maybe we'll win next year.

 

[edgefusion]

Can't wait to dance my socks off to this pumpin' summer jam in da club.

 

[DiddysKongQuest]

I could never hate someone called Barbara. Which Barbara are we referring to?

I only hate Barbara Schöneberger (and I write about in every Eurovision thread)

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Yeah, she sounded good.

Him on the other hand...

Pretty much

 

[xam3l]

Thankfully Portugal is used with all the salt.

Spoiler

From the ocean.

 

[pinkurocket]

I don't hate the winning song but sitting on a high horse and calling pop music trash and asking for more 'real' music while accepting the tackiest music award is soooo messy. That statement he made was unnecessary.

I voted for Bulgaria and I feel really salty to see him lose to that. ):

 

[Oersted]

Well atleast Germany's greatest band is showing up

Not even kidding

 

[Kinan]

So, how you liked the hosts? Serviceable?

 

[SomTervo]

I feel like if we could understand the words of the winner's song it would be more obvious why it won

Seems like a poignant song, even if i can't understand a word

 

[oti]

I hope Greece gets the message. Demy is great, her song was trash.

I'm still offended about Germany not being last and Austria getting more than 0 points.

 

[RocknRola]

This will the stage, next year is Lisbon :v Gotta make it cheap, plus it probably shouldn't rain so people should be fine...................................................probably.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

I'll be honest now.

I liked Spain.

"Do it for your lova baby!"

I'd put that track to some chill moment in a game.

 

[chromatic9]

The scene from Germany right now.

They're warming to us they chant.

[Ravensmash]

I only caught the voting - besides Portugal and the Azerbaijani song.

I liked both.

I did end up listening to the Belgian entry on Spotify and that was really good!

 

[His Majesty]

So, how you liked the hosts? Serviceable?

no charisma and bad jokes

in short perfect for the job

 

[830920]

Terrible. They weren't even your typical cringe fest, they thought they were hot shit but were simply awful.

 

[VegiHam]

See, I dunno that it does. I think cheesy bombast needs a place, and Eurovision was that place and now there's nowhere?

Like, I dunno, maybe it's just a gay thing? But like gay men love bonding over a shared love of terrible Eurovision songs and the more mainstream it gets we lose that a bit, I think.

Eurovision has not been about dumb/flashy music for that long though, so the definition of Eurovision may vary.
It'll come back soon enough anyway.

I guess. I'm just nostalgic for the Eurovision of my early teenage years. I'm getting old.
