[slim tapir]

less then a week till its go time

🇧🇪🇧🇪 Brussels 2026 babyyyyyyy🇧🇪🇧🇪

[slim tapir]

4 days

[grave heart]

4 days till disappointment

[slim tapir]

eurovision week starts today

[grave heart]

Time for UK to get last

[slim tapir]

That would be a tragedy Remember monday can SING

do the song is kinda boring

[misty tide]

it's like Eurovision tradition that UK comes last

it balances out because then when someone else can't host we host for them, instead of hosting by winning

[ember verge]

Eurovision 2025 thread

Sorry but I had to fix the English

[slim tapir]

how dare you

[misty zealot]

Looking forward to the semis tomorrow

Something I've tried to explain to American friends but they just don't understand it

Once semi 1's are over I am going to binge all the entries and find some more gym music out of them

[slim tapir]

our song is high energy so maybe it be good for that

[misty zealot]

Excellenté

My gym playlist is 30% Game OST, 40% Rock/Techno and 30% Eurovision at this point - having to do my 3 minute jogs/1 minute sprint to Eurovision is great (No Rules! from last year is a great song let down by an eh performance, whereas the Swiss winner is an ok song with a great performance)

Also silly Q why not just have a "Eurovision" thread rather than new yearly one?

[slim tapir]

Mods asked me to make a new one for the year

Estonia might actually make good workout music in a wierd way

[misty zealot]

Fairs, I apologise

Looks like Greece is SF2?

I hope we have an energetic song closer to trypes rather than slow melodic

(I am so tempted to break my self imposed isolation just to check 😭)

[kind terrace]

Eurovision week

[slim tapir]

final odds for tonight

Belgium was at 53% last night

apearently we have really good staging

[grave heart]

lets go san marinao

[misty zealot]

Poison Cake sounds like a cool song - but its going to be a massacre

[slim tapir]

less then 4 hours till go time

[slim tapir]

Half an hour

[misty zealot]

Iceland to kick it off I think?

[slim tapir]

Yes

[misty zealot]

Iceland, Poland, Slovenia then Estonia before we get one of the big 5

[slim tapir]

Væb have been such lovely lads i hope they pass

[misty zealot]

Is the Netherlands doing a B*Witched cover?

[slim tapir]

No

[misty zealot]

But its C'est La Vie!

[slim tapir]

Apearently the Dutch guy's vocals where poor yesterday

Hope he just had a bad day

[misty zealot]

Ah shoot, I remember the panels score more on rehearsals and SF1 than the finals too

Jury, not panel

[slim tapir]

The jury show is friday

[misty zealot]

Oh my bad, I swore it was earlier

[slim tapir]

The rehersals only host the backup emergency jury

In the case somthing like a Iberia wide power outage happens

[misty zealot]

It's Switzerland

They have secret generators in their mountains

[slim tapir]

Those mountains host secrets we can only dream off

[misty zealot]

I wanna watch E33 but also Eurovision 😭

[slim tapir]

The city "Geel" (yellow) has renamed itself "rood" (Red) in honer of our singer Red Sebestien

Jup thats switserland alrigjt

[misty zealot]

Come on

THEY'RE YODELLING

Full Circle for the 69th Year

Oh yay we have hosts singing - I do like that

[slim tapir]

Damn they really said we have Petra at home

[misty zealot]

This is basically Sweden again and they're loving it

ICELANDIC JEDWARD

[slim tapir]

Fucking love væb

[misty zealot]

Ok this one is going on my gym playlist

Deffo right side of the board material if they qualify

A returning act from before I was born 😭 I was born in 1996

[slim tapir]

She may hold her notes but she is not hitting the first ones

There also using way to much pre recorded background vocals

Shes drowning in them

[misty zealot]

I hate Ballards

But

I like the feeling here

This is great stage direction

Ok

I had higher hopes for Espresso Macchiato

[slim tapir]

Better then yesterday

[misty zealot]

It feels restrained in its zaniness

Like

When I heard the name I was like "YES!" and I saw it and I was like.......

[slim tapir]

I mean he ussually raps

Intermission 1

This song is SWISS

[misty zealot]

It felt like he wanted to do Joost Klien but didn't commit

[slim tapir]

There friends actually

[misty zealot]

Yeah, it just feels so filed down

This is my list rn - but I think some will change by the end

Time for our first auto

Its very Spanish

Ok now the music's kicked in

[worn turtle]

I REALLY did not like Estonia

Spain however? This is kinda fire

[slim tapir]

I dont vibd with spain this year

[misty zealot]

Spain has possible left side energy

But its a decent bang but not memorable - if it goes near the end it could do well

[worn turtle]

I liked it

[slim tapir]

Ukraine will it continue its 100% Q streak

[worn turtle]

They have had that going for 20 years now

I’m sure they can continue

[misty zealot]

Futuristic Gay Bar vibes from the other side of the sofa

YES

[worn turtle]

I like this a lot

This is an easy qualify

I could see it do well in the finale as well

[misty zealot]

It's so gay I love it

[worn turtle]

Thought my TV broke when they did that lmfao

That was great

[misty zealot]

YES

THIS SONG IS SO EUROVISION

ITS A FEVER DREAM AND I LOVE IT

[worn turtle]

I HATE how good the Swedes are 😭 😭

[misty zealot]

They're finnish swedes

I can see why Sweden are bookie's favourites... again

[slim tapir]

The only reason im not voting sweden is cuz they will be fine without me

[misty zealot]

I was bored at first of Portugal but I am liking this

[worn turtle]

This song is very nice

But I’m unsure if it’s a qualifier

It might be a last place qualifier

[misty zealot]

I think it'll get through because Poland and Iceland is eh

[worn turtle]

I do not expect much. I’ll be genuinely surprised if we qualify 😭

[misty zealot]

Time for Norway

[worn turtle]

This was a 4th place for me

[slim tapir]

Portugal should Q to give the Jury's somthing to vote for

Norway is to typical for me

VIVA LA BELGICAAAAAA

🇧🇪 🇧🇪 🇧🇪 🇧🇪 🇧🇪 🇧🇪 🇧🇪

[misty zealot]

This is my list so far

[slim tapir]

Its his birthday please vote for him

[worn turtle]

Unfortunately I need it to be good as well

For me my favorite tonight is Ukraine

[misty zealot]

Belgium's voice is very weak

It's so flat

[worn turtle]

How did he get actual clones?

[slim tapir]

GOOD JOB SEBESTIEN

[worn turtle]

So this is actually the second place in the Italian finale fun fact!

The actual winner decided to step away

[misty zealot]

Ok, this is just Tim Minchin put into the 60s

[worn turtle]

Oh my good

God

He’s got that piano the LOOONG way

I really like this song

[slim tapir]

Honestly my number a big 5 this yeae

[frail crest]

May I ask why?

[misty zealot]

I really like this Italy

[worn turtle]

I’m not actually sure

But I believe he had something family related come up

[slim tapir]

Didnt feel like going to eurovision

[worn turtle]

I hope this does well

[slim tapir]

We are never gonna have a eurovision without Ireland 2008 getting mentioned are we

[misty zealot]

Azerbaijan's guy... what a way to start singing

[slim tapir]

That is not the voice i expected from the face

[misty zealot]

3 year no qualifying streak LETS GO

[slim tapir]

Jury bait

[worn turtle]

Bottom G!!!!

[slim tapir]

We have 1 of the 5

[misty zealot]

The list so far

Sorry Belgium's lyrics were so weak

[slim tapir]

I believe

I like SM but its not gonna Q

[misty zealot]

I think it'll be close

[tepid stone]

I forgot it was Eurovision time

[worn turtle]

Mini Italy

[tepid stone]

[slim tapir]

National collours gonna national collour

[worn turtle]

The back of that guys head was the EXACT silhouette as Prince Charles 😭 😭

[misty zealot]

I love Albania's

Just the guy staring at our souls

[tepid stone]

It moved me

[slim tapir]

Netherlands

[misty zealot]

This guy is aiming for the French vote

[slim tapir]

They dont vote today lol

[worn turtle]

The guy in watching this with said “Dude it’s that guy from Star Wars” 😭 😭

[tepid stone]

😭

[misty zealot]

I know - someome messed it up!

I think it'll get through, but that's because there are truly some dire songs

[tepid stone]

When’s voting??

[misty zealot]

Not for us today

We're Thursday's Semis and Saturday

[worn turtle]

I can vote

[tepid stone]

Ah ok

[worn turtle]

I have power tonight

[slim tapir]

The little fake cry ruined it for me

[misty zealot]

I like the name Poison Cake

[slim tapir]

Remember its the Belgian singers B day
A vote is a great bday gift

[worn turtle]

“First gay person in Croatia” 😭 😭 😭

My EYES dude

[slim tapir]

Another one of the 5 has been found

[worn turtle]

Idk, I genuinely did not like that song

[slim tapir]

Please

We havnt won in 40 years

Atleqst give us a shot

[worn turtle]

Anywho, easy qualifier

[misty zealot]

Croatia is saving Poland rn

[worn turtle]

Switzerland isn’t sending a brown-haired twink singing a power ballad????

[slim tapir]

French song 2 and whe arned even at France yet

[tepid stone]

Yeeee

[worn turtle]

Well it’s a good thing they’re not competing for votes lmao

Because this song would’ve been a deserved qualifier for me

[slim tapir]

Last one

[worn turtle]

Italy and Switzerland? Super solid ones

[slim tapir]

Good that they dont tqke up slots

[misty zealot]

Switzerland don't want to host again with that, its ok but not a back2back winner

[slim tapir]

Another 1 of the 5

My eyes

[misty zealot]

Final predictions

The first winner was such a sweet song

[misty zealot]

For a semi final interval its great

[misty zealot]

Ok

She's staring into my soul

I LIKE IT SCARY SWISS LADY SORRY

[slim tapir]

.... ..

Actual peak

[misty zealot]

Ok it grew on me

[slim tapir]

PETRA

[misty zealot]

They just keep on shitting on Roger Federer

[slim tapir]

Who even is that?

[misty zealot]

Tennis player?

[slim tapir]

Voted for the icelandic twinks

[wild bison]

Need to say I think the front of the stage looks like the middle of the ancient city in minecraft with the 'portal' 😂

[slim tapir]

It does

[misty zealot]

Ireland's entry is from... Norway

[worn turtle]

Yeah

We tend to do that for some reason

My favorite of the preforming countries tonight was Ukraine, Portugal, and… Sweden…

[misty zealot]

Our entry looks bad

[worn turtle]

Also Albania!

Really liked Albania

[misty zealot]

Italy was good, but they're auto qual'd

[worn turtle]

Yeah Italy and Switzerland are strong contenders

[misty zealot]

Apparently they beat 5 other Irish people

[misty zealot]

I didn't feel the vibe from Switzerland

[slim tapir]

Welp its decided

[worn turtle]

There wasn’t a ton of props?

They’re talking about this as if it was a ton?

There were like 5 props and they were small 💀

1.2 BILLION???

Woah!

[misty zealot]

Who is this

Oh its Celine Dion

[slim tapir]

What tiktok fame can do

[worn turtle]

Bruh

[misty zealot]

I haven't seen her since the 90s

Apparently she might turn up on Saturday

Oh fuck, if we get Sweden again they're going to tease ABBA again aren't they

[worn turtle]

Probably not

Sweden hosted last year, and that was THE 50 year anniversary of ABBA winning Eurovision

[slim tapir]

Isnt she sick

[misty zealot]

What else can they do

"We're not tired of winning let us win more please"

This is... awkward

[worn turtle]

“A scweat trop tripping tevize”

[misty zealot]

Ok Norway made it, I was wrong

[worn turtle]

YESESSSSSS

17TH OF MAY!!!!

WE ARE THROUGHHHH

ok that was expected

Full Nordic rep so far!!!

[misty zealot]

2 wrong so far

YES! SAN MARINO MADE IT

[worn turtle]

This is the WORST way to do it 😭 😭 😭

[misty zealot]

Come on Ukraine

[worn turtle]

Adrenaline spikes after adrenaline spikes

[misty zealot]

So I would only get 4 wrong

11/15 not bad

[worn turtle]

OH THANK GOD

Ukraine!!!!

[slim tapir]

Welp

We officially have a 2 year NQ streak

[worn turtle]

Estonia is genuinely the most surprising here

[misty zealot]

Its going to be a right side of the board

Fuck the UK might beat it

Last year Estonia had a banger of a song and were low

[slim tapir]

Damnit we deserved better this year

[worn turtle]

Well, see y’all in 2 days

[frail crest]

I guess the dark horse victory isn't happening huh

[slim tapir]

God fucking damnit he deserved the world

[misty zealot]

Right I have a (not so) bold prediction, but I don't think Sweden will win again, I think the Jury will coalese around either Netherlands or Jury-Bait from SF2

[slim tapir]

Australia
montenegro
ireland
latvia
armenia
austria
greece
lithuania
malta
georgia

Ireland's singer is cute

[open heron]

Somehow reminds me of the Edgar allan poe song

[slim tapir]

A little ig

[open heron]

Dunno why

[slim tapir]

6/10 song 8/10 singer

[open heron]

The dude with the sunglasses is cool

A Intermission already

I like estonia this year

But whoever chose their costumes

Needs to be send back to costule design 101

[open heron]

Estonia was tuesday

I do kinda like this one as well

[slim tapir]

Sorry the Flemish worf for Estonia and Latvia is very close

Intermision 2

[misty zealot]

Estonia's was baaaaaaaaaad

[slim tapir]

I meanr Latvia

[misty zealot]

Ahhh

[slim tapir]

MY EYES

[open heron]

Estonia is funny

Eurovision was invented to torture photosensitive people

[slim tapir]

AUSTRIAAAAA

PRAISE BE THE POPRA

🇦🇹

[misty zealot]

Estonia's is boring - like its not even funny, its a poorly made injoke

[slim tapir]

Very strange woman

We have had 3 intermissions in 6 songs

UK time

Our presentors just called them "Barbie the musicals interval act"

[misty zealot]

It doesn't feel very UK

It doesn't feel very Eurovision

[slim tapir]

Gotta admit

They can SING

Ight Helenica time

[misty zealot]

I am not hopeful

It's not great

[slim tapir]

Give her 3 seconds to get into it damn

[misty zealot]

WHY ARE WE SENDING SOMEONE DOING A 2017-ESC PERFORMANCE

[slim tapir]

The darkhorse of this semi

Ger ready for that entire arena the shout KANT

Our presentor is not a fan of Malta lol

HOLY SHIT OUR PRESENTOR IS FUCKING CHEWING INTO THE SINGER OF GEORGIA

HE WAS CALLING HER OUT FOR BEING EXTREMLY PRO PUNTINIST

Fuck man he was not holding back on that one

(Our presentor is a radio host so he ussually doesnt givd his opinion)

Intermission 5

Good singer the chech

LUXEMBOURG GOD BLESS OUR LITTLE SISTER

🇱🇺 🇱🇺 🇱🇺 🇱🇺

🇵🇸 🇵🇸
Fuck Netanyahu
Fuck the EBU

Fuck this victem mentality

[open heron]

Yet you still watch the show instead of boycotting it?

[slim tapir]

Last year we boycotted and Isreal made their way to the final and ruined it

Anyways i like Germany this year but dqln she's having a bad day

[open heron]

Israel won't get banned. Azerbaijan won't get banned.
Russia got kicked out because everyone could agree on them, I think

Israel does annoyingly pull in televotes.

[slim tapir]

In fairness tbey did have a multi million add campaign last yzar to sway votes

Anyways dont like serbia this year

[open heron]

How's Finland?

[worn turtle]

Easy qualifier

This is one I imagine will do well in the finale

That was so great

[slim tapir]

I hope Denmark isnt the only Nordic sister not in the final lol

[wild bison]

Already doing the ad campaign this year too, never gotten any Eurovision ads like that before now

[slim tapir]

Fucking cowards

[worn turtle]

“Israeli government advertising agency” bro 😭

[slim tapir]

Ughm

[open heron]

Quite sad

[slim tapir]

This is a trip of a intervall act

[open heron]

Love Georgia's dancers

[slim tapir]

For the love of god let them not be in it

[open heron]

Maybe Denmark should try sending an old winner

Out of the 2020 could've beens we will certainly not be seeing Little Big

[slim tapir]

Sorry Putin said no Fun allowed

[worn turtle]

2020 representation and they could not include Little Big or Dadi Freyr??

How can you represent 2020 Eurovision and not include those two?

[slim tapir]

Tbf Dadi has been an interval act 2 times now

[worn turtle]

I don’t care, give him a third one

Dadi Freyr is so cool

[slim tapir]

He is

Hope he is as famous as he deserves

[open heron]

Little Big was my favourite of the 2020 performers

[slim tapir]

"Uno" is still the most watched video on the ESC youtube channel by a wide margin

[worn turtle]

Because it’s such a banger

[open heron]

Yeah. Maybe because there are many Russians, but still

[worn turtle]

Also idk

Them doing a 2020 representation because “they didn’t get to preform their songs” but EVERY single one of them have since preformed in Eurovision at some point later?

Shouldn’t they have gone for artists that didn’t get to preform at all?

[slim tapir]

Malta girl didnt come back

Shes the only one i think

Fucking love rhe Roop do

[kind terrace]

Hitting the hay soon

That’s so BS

This was an awful list

Oh well, see y’all on Saturday

[misty zealot]

REALLY?!

[misty zealot]

Wait did Ireland make it? Or were they knocked out

[frail crest]

So who's in and who's out?

[kind terrace]

Ireland was a joke

Jonas was complaining that I was spiking due to being ahead

So I lied

[frail crest]

Seriously who is my country going to lose to in the final

[slim tapir]

god damnit

why is Luxembourg in the death spot

[frail crest]

I see Israel got in again

[misty zealot]

So I see Finland's this year is a tribute to Rammstein 😛

[grave heart]

Poor san marino

[tidal ferry]

Why is that considered the death spot?

[misty tide]

i think it's because being directly after the opener is like the most forgettable spot and hurts the public vote chances

[slim tapir]

it has been statisticly proven over the years that the Second singer will never win

this is due to a howl bunch of factors but being just after the opener is one of theù

[misty zealot]

I am so glad they're getting Estonia out of the way

Netherlands-Finland-Italy will be a bloodbath

[tidal ferry]

Ah i see, thanks for the info

[misty zealot]

Listening to old (well, 2010s) Eurovision songs and I forgot about Iceland 2019

[frail crest]

You know I expected to continue the #UKSWEEP bit this year but honestly I'm enjoying pretty much rooting against my country

[blissful tangle]

Do we have a bingo card for this year?

[tepid stone]

Hello besties! I won’t be watching tonight (probably) but I want to apologise for the uk’s act

[misty zealot]

You are forgiven for giving notice, hope you're well

[frail crest]

Honestly I might not watch as I'm watching one of my favourite streamers

[tepid stone]

I’m gonna play final fantasy x instead 😇😇

[frail crest]

I may have it on in the background

[misty zealot]

Good shout, I'll have it on in the background and commenting on here whilst doing a Nuzlocke/indie JRPG

[spare steppe]

Eurovision stats now

[open heron]

Hoping for Finn sweep

[frail crest]

My only prediction is that the UK will crash and burn

[spare steppe]

That's not a prediction it's like saying the sun will raise tommorow

[frail crest]

Honestly Graham Norton is improving this intro

[misty zealot]

I really like Italy's song and story in the song

[spare steppe]

Isn't that what he typically does

[misty zealot]

Portugal I think could be left side as a sleeper hit

[frail crest]

Oh yeah I forgot to post the thing

One day I should make this a really shirt

25 potential winners
And the UK

[spare steppe]

Hey hey hey 24 potential winbers with the UK and Germany

[misty zealot]

I think it'll be Austria or Netherlands winning via Jury

I'll be happy if Italy or Sweden win

[kind terrace]

This year has felt calmer than last year

Which is good

[frail crest]

Last year did have a lot of drama

[kind terrace]

It’s still there but like

[misty zealot]

The jury will cause drama again I feel it

[kind terrace]

There isn’t silence when Israel shows up so that’s good I think actually

[open heron]

Hoping for the top three to be Finland, Sweden and Austria for maximum finnish win

[misty zealot]

Sweden, Italy, Portugal are my favourite tracks as songs

[spare steppe]

Did I miss something I didn't see Israel then up uwy

[kind terrace]

4th country was Israel

Right now

Did you miss it in the introductions

[spare steppe]

Must have

[frail crest]

I saw Israel
I didn't hear the crowd response but I saw them

[kind terrace]

Oh my god

Israeli airing just said “hopefully all the kids will be asleep before Malta performs”

[spare steppe]

Why

[kind terrace]

Something something inappropriate I think?

[frail crest]

Sounds like something our host would say

[kind terrace]

Suggestive dance

Revealing clothes

I think?

[spare steppe]

That's just euroviaion

[misty zealot]

Mate sent me this as a bingo card

[spare steppe]

Eurovision in general

[kind terrace]

Just put and x on that right one

Like middle right t

That’s just a free space

JOIN THE EUROVISION PARTY ON ROBLOX???

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO SAW THAT??

[frail crest]

I forget the sassy vibe Graham Norton exudes

[misty tide]

I forgot to mention it on Tuesday

[open heron]

I hope they will be asleep before Finland, at least

[kind terrace]

Nice

[spare steppe]

Nice

[kind terrace]

We need to rename this to the 69th Eurovision thread

[open heron]

I hope Vatican joins next year

[frail crest]

Honestly if the pope took part in Eurovision I'd vote for him

[kind terrace]

Votes are open!

Nice

[spare steppe]

Have to see the votes

[jovial swift]

Can't vote online in the the year of our lord 2025

[kind terrace]

Everytime they mention the numbers

Say nice

[spare steppe]

You can use the app

[kind terrace]

Yeah

Or a local app aswell

[frail crest]

I know right
What year do they think this is 1965 smh?

[kind terrace]

You can probably use a local news channel app to vote

[spare steppe]

Wow Norton the shame

[kind terrace]

1959 was the first one actually

[spare steppe]

Theres not many people this year

[misty zealot]

tbh voting from the beginning may help certain acts

[spare steppe]

In chat

[jovial swift]

I'm sure they'll show up once the results are in

Enjoy the peace

[ember verge]

oh this is a neat one though

[misty zealot]

I didn't enjoy it much in the semis

[frail crest]

But will it help the UK?
God knows.

[spare steppe]

No

[misty zealot]

Nothing will help the UK bar actually sending a decent act

the year we send Skindred is the year we win by a few hundred points

[frail crest]

We are never going to win this godforsaken song contest

[spare steppe]

We came 2nd in 2022

[misty zealot]

We did when I was 1 year old

In 1997

[frail crest]

And Graham just said the intro video looked like the start of a horror film

[spare steppe]

That cgi

[misty zealot]

Sadly I didn't move to Brighton til 1999/2000 so I couldn't Eurovision til then

[frail crest]

Oh this is some good staging

[frail crest]

Yeah
My first Eurovision

I think I still have it on tape somewhere

[misty zealot]

You missed out on some bangers

[open heron]

Lot of cloth changes this year, my mom notes. Other common things include wind machines, smoke machines and pyrotechnics

[misty zealot]

I hate Estonia's song

It's a waste of a fun spot

[frail crest]

Bro is slaying

[ember verge]

love the intro of the dude not rollerskating once

[spare steppe]

I think it was a women's roller derby team

I don't like the cgi backgrounds

They looks jarring

[ember verge]

oh this choreography is good

[frail crest]

Yeah

[misty zealot]

He tried to do Netherlands 2024 but with less energy

It came off as a weird injoe

[frail crest]

Up next is Israel

[open heron]

Was his voice slightly stronger this time?

[blissful tangle]

Anything already filled in?

[misty zealot]

A couple, the voice broke on the final Macchiato

[frail crest]

Honestly I'm not feeling this one

[kind terrace]

Fair enough

They got the lyrics writer on the Israeli cast and she is crying

So that’s nice

[misty zealot]

Israel vs Greece for battle of the mid ballards

[jovial swift]

Why is the music for this filler part so good

[frail crest]

Well I already know who I would want to win that battle

[kind terrace]

I mean duh

Yall would be Greece and I would be Israel no shit 😭

[frail crest]

Honestly that's fair

[worn turtle]

Ok I can finally watch

[kind terrace]

wdym?

[frail crest]

At the end of day you gotta root for your country

[kind terrace]

politics aside

of course I was israel to win

[ember verge]

oh is this the new snow patrol

im just auto filling shasing cars in my head

[frail crest]

Like I think our song low-key sucks but I still want the UK to win

[worn turtle]

What’d I miss?

[spare steppe]

He looks a bit like grus brother from despicable me 3

[worn turtle]

Lithuania was one of the shock qualifiers for me

But they’re alright

I like the grunge aesthetic of it

[misty zealot]

II technically can have 3+ passports so I am stuck

[kind terrace]

israel just ended I think

[ember verge]

that is a hilarious comment okay

[misty zealot]

It's mid 2000s dreary metal and I love that shit

[spare steppe]

Which ones

[frail crest]

At that point you pick the best song

[open heron]

Mom said the lithuanians have prison outfits

[kind terrace]

type shit

[misty zealot]

UK, born here
Greece, 2nd generation Greek
Israeli, 2nd/3rd gen Jew

[kind terrace]

YOU ARE ISRAELI? HUH

[misty zealot]

Well, I am a Jew

[frail crest]

He is slaying

[ember verge]

change their clothes to grey, bingo

[misty zealot]

I CAN get a Israeli passport

[spare steppe]

You're a 2nd and 3rd gen Jew

[kind terrace]

good luck with that lmao getting one is a nightmare

my english teacher told us nightmare stories of her trying to get the passport

[misty zealot]

Well, its hard, I don't know if my Grandmother was born in the UK or Eastern Europe, she was born 1944

[spare steppe]

Does that mean your parents ans grand parent are Jewish

[wooden merlin]

hello all hows the show going?

[worn turtle]

Oh Spain was fun!

[frail crest]

It's certainly a Eurovision

[ember verge]

I will cheer the loudest if we get 0 points and come last

[spare steppe]

When*

[frail crest]

Honestly same

[kind terrace]

no matter how many people vouched she was jewish it wasn't enough it was horrid

[misty zealot]

Yeah

[ember verge]

maybe 1 point, is better, so they get something

[frail crest]

At the end of the day 0 is the funniest result

[misty zealot]

I used to get stopped in the Catholic School I worked in and asked if I was a jew constantly, especially if I had my hair down

[spare steppe]

How would that mean you're Jewish?

[misty zealot]

It's passed down the mother's side, plus I go to Synagogue when its open

[open heron]

My mother points out every outfit change, smoke machine, wind machine, so on

[ember verge]

hey it's spain

[open heron]

Shame rumble tumble games will not join us, I suppose

[misty zealot]

So my great grandparents were Jewish (survived holocaust), my grandmother was Jewish, which makes my mother Jewish and me Jewish, but depending on sects/readings not my kids because my partner is Christian

[kind terrace]

malta:

[spare steppe]

I mean you're hair down

[worn turtle]

Spain was weaker tonight than previously

[misty zealot]

OHHH

[worn turtle]

That’s kinda sad

[spare steppe]

How would that show you're Jewish

[misty zealot]

I have the curls

Natural payots

[spare steppe]

Is having curls Indicative of being Jewish?

[open heron]

2 outfir changes so far

[misty zealot]

Its a generic thing, they are very noticable if I have my hair down, proper ringlets

Google Payots and I get them naturally, and if I don't tie my hair back properly they come out

Ukraine's doing a helluva lot better than the semis imho

[spare steppe]

Outfits looks very hunger games isg

[misty zealot]

YES

OH MY GOD

Thank you my brain's been on fire

[worn turtle]

YES Ukraine

Had a slightly shaky voice, but killed it otherwise!

[frail crest]

EUROVISION ROBLOX

[ember verge]

those light effect things were really cool

[spare steppe]

Noone did it lol

[frail crest]

You can tell that Graham Norton is having a fun time in the commentary booth

[spare steppe]

I wonder how much alcohol Norton has

In his booth

[frail crest]

This is a good song

Might have to look it up

[blissful tangle]

By my count for the bingo, we just need someone to cry

[spare steppe]

Can't believe hate speech in eurovision smh /j

[frail crest]

Oh boy failure is next

[worn turtle]

This host has GOT to be the least funny host 😭

[ember verge]

oh no the crong

i cannot

[open heron]

Would Eurovision have been better if Dolly Style won Melodifestivalen?

[frail crest]

The postcard reminds me of On Her Majesty's Secret Service

[worn turtle]

The Swedish hosts are amazing

[frail crest]

Oh hell yeah they got pyro

[spare steppe]

It's got to be more difficult to be a trio

[frail crest]

Though I feel the staging is lacking

[worn turtle]

Actually not that bad

[spare steppe]

You have to harmonise

[worn turtle]

They may just get 2 points!!!

[frail crest]

Impossible

You know is song has charm
Shame it's somehow forgettable

[ember verge]

not vibing with ours, honestly

[frail crest]

They sing good

[worn turtle]

The harmonies are solid

[spare steppe]

Well it's decent and we can't vote for it regardless so

[worn turtle]

But that girl in pink had a REALLY sour tone

[frail crest]

"We couldn't have asked for more"
Yes we could

[spare steppe]

Not Ukraine Graham

[worn turtle]

“Now they’ll step off of stage, fearing they’ll have to get a tattoo” 💀

[spare steppe]

Who said that

[worn turtle]

Norwegian host

[spare steppe]

I wonder who the host is who uses most alcohol/drugs for presenting purposes

[open heron]

Are we up to 3 outfit changes?

[misty zealot]

Austria's is......

[worn turtle]

I don’t get how this is a fan favorite

Like yeah, staging is pretty dope, but the opera is just weird

[spare steppe]

It's in black and white

Which makes it art

[ember verge]

those vocals though

[open heron]

Epileptics rip

[ember verge]

they warned for this but. my god

[spare steppe]

It's like a tenth of the population of Iceland

😉

[frail crest]

In the looks department these guys are giving late 90s/early 2000s boyband

[spare steppe]

Is this in Icelandic

The visuals looks a bit Minecraft

[misty zealot]

Its more of a Jury favourite

[worn turtle]

This reminds me too much of Russemusikk

Which is perfect considering the date, but it’s a bit bad lol

[spare steppe]

Date

[kind terrace]

btw

[spare steppe]

?

[kind terrace]

they copied an israeli song

[ember verge]

oh that was a damn good one

[spare steppe]

Pog join the party on roblox

[kind terrace]

wait

I meant to timestamp this

[frail crest]

Let's watch Eurovision in Roblox besties

[kind terrace]

https://youtu.be/vlrE48oFwk4?si=qL0jam_Ak3HJrY1a&t=31

[blissful tangle]

I'm several minutes behind apparently, but just got my first bingo!

[open heron]

I like Latvia

[worn turtle]

Latvia is so bizarre

I loved it

[ember verge]

I love the idea of the setup "Dont mind the disassembly of the giant curtain in the background"

[kind terrace]

Tell me the instrumental isn't almost the same

[open heron]

Which one was it?

[worn turtle]

John Boyega??

[worn turtle]

Killed it

[open heron]

Guess you got your second bingo now?

[blissful tangle]

Not sure, I was late watching doctor who, so I'm only on Austria rn

[open heron]

Ah

[kind terrace]

wait

WAIT

[blissful tangle]

What band is currently on the live version?

[kind terrace]

THE NAME OF THIS SONG IS IM C$#@ING???

[open heron]

Finland

[open heron]

Yes

[kind terrace]

song about orgasms I guess?

[open heron]

You do not understand the song, but it is very much about sex

Or orgasm more precisely, I guess

[misty zealot]

Its basically the Female version of that one Rammstein song

COME ON FINLAND

[spare steppe]

;p

[worn turtle]

Finland is so great

Probably my favorites

Oh my god Hazel, SHUT UP 😭

[open heron]

The song included lyrics like "Stars in your eyes and me on top of you"
I think

[worn turtle]

She is THE least funny host I’ve seen

[ember verge]

ah good,something on fire, this is eurovision, had nearly forgotten

[spare steppe]

Oh my

[kind terrace]

ok while we on break

please tell me I am not crazy

[spare steppe]

Where can I find lyrics in English

[kind terrace]

this is the same ballad as in icelands song

please

[open heron]

Maybe somewhere on google. I am just translating

[kind terrace]

https://youtu.be/vlrE48oFwk4?si=es4cTOXi0qEru5Jr&t=31

[spare steppe]

Why is the translation below it

[kind terrace]

tell me I am not insane-

nevermind its starting

[spare steppe]

This isn't Eurovision wish an active translation

[ember verge]

subtitles?? what about the others

[jovial swift]

the last one could've done with them

[open heron]

Hah, we have subtitles for translations here

Cept for lithuania's song for some reason

[kind terrace]

ok someone tell me I am not crazy

[open heron]

We do not want the children to know what Erika sang

[kind terrace]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3mAIpm5QxI

[spare steppe]

I think they chose to have subtitles

I dont think it's common to have them

[open heron]

The other guy reminded me of this guy

Ah, dothraki

[spare steppe]

She must be pretty strong to be able to hang like that

[worn turtle]

Poland was incredible

[spare steppe]

Germany

[ember verge]

"she dangled there like an old car air freshener" graham please

[worn turtle]

I think they specifically requested it as part of the “staging” but it really helps with explaining what the song it about

Lyrically it’s quite pretty

[ember verge]

I do wish more would have subtitles, or the option

[spare steppe]

You can look up the lyrics on the app

[worn turtle]

Yeah but that kind of ruins it doesn’t it?

Most people will not look up the lyrics lol

[open heron]

Is it just me, or does the singer have a very strong chin?

Glorious

[worn turtle]

Well

It’s a good thing Germany automatically qualifies isn’t it?

This would’ve never qualified lol

[spare steppe]

I like it

[misty zealot]

Its very Club

[jovial swift]

Cool that they use the screens as guides for the props

[ember verge]

oh man i love this behind the scenes stuff

[open heron]

Which country do you think has the biggest prop? Israel's tower?

[ember verge]

the microphone on fire is quite large

[spare steppe]

That costume change was quick

[open heron]

What
How
The outfit change

Fourth one, is it?

[misty zealot]

Yeah, too little too late

NOW ITS TIME FOR TOPLESS MAN

[spare steppe]

I don't like that effect

[worn turtle]

Eh

Armenia was alright

[open heron]

Armenia was good

[worn turtle]

Switzerland was art

That was so good

[spare steppe]

I wonder if there was meant to be a second word in the title

[open heron]

No, that was the original title, Kant

I think

Was that the fifth outfit change btw?

[worn turtle]

For a song named “serving Kant” there is not a lot of “Kant” being served

[spare steppe]

Wait it was Kant?

It's just Serving here

[open heron]

Pretty sure Serving and Kant are separate titles

Kant is the title before Eurovision forced change

[spare steppe]

Ah

[open heron]

Serving is the new title

[spare steppe]

So it was censored

[open heron]

Yes

[worn turtle]

Really really like this song

[open heron]

Sixth

[ember verge]

"I can see clearly" I can't with these lights

[misty zealot]

Time for one of my favourite songs

[frail crest]

Cowards

[open heron]

7th costume change

[misty zealot]

LOOK AT THEM BOB UP AND DOWN

[spare steppe]

Francophobia by Graham smh

[misty zealot]

I mean France's could be from any year

[ember verge]

what if they got some sand in her mouth during that

[spare steppe]

Don't think it's actually sand

[open heron]

It is cork(?)

[spare steppe]

I doubt it is

[ember verge]

cool use of cork tbf

[spare steppe]

I think that was just francophobia from Norton

[ember verge]

what if she accidentally ate some cork during the song though

[spare steppe]

Don't like what the statue is doing

[open heron]

Our speaker said it was cork

[spare steppe]

Ah so maybe it was

[open heron]

I too dislike the gum chewing

[spare steppe]

The tervi fountain is going to be a ball ache to clean out with gum

The

My hypothetical votes woukd be

Spain
Ukraine
Iceland
Netherlands
Finland
Germany
Switzerland
Sweden
San Marino

[misty zealot]

Italy
Portugal
Sweden
Lithuania
Ukraine

[worn turtle]

My favorites tonight were Finland, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland, Sweden

Ukraine too actually

[slim tapir]

So lads who's gonna be last?

[worn turtle]

Germany or the UK are my guesses

[slim tapir]

Honestly
Spain is the worse big 5 this year imho

Im scared that San Marino will be absolutly gutted by the jury

[worn turtle]

Haha Albania

[open heron]

We voted Sweden, Norway, Estonia, Sweden, Greece, Latvia...

[frail crest]

Are we finally at the jury vote

[worn turtle]

lol absolutely not

[misty zealot]

They're totting up and rigging it as we speak

[worn turtle]

That’s like in an hour 😍

[misty zealot]

We're waiting for Celine Dion

[frail crest]

Yay

[slim tapir]

Shes sick
I give ir a 3% chance she shows

[misty zealot]

Or we could get holographic Dion

[worn turtle]

ABBA last year:

[misty zealot]

I mean we had more ABBA songs this year than last

[worn turtle]

Which is shocking

[misty zealot]

I am still annoyed that Eurovision 2023 was RIGGED for Sweden to win and then they flopped on it

I NEED THIS MASHUP

YES

YESSSSSS

[open heron]

My favourite songs from last two years or more

[slim tapir]

Bold to bring 2 of the most infamous second places back

[misty zealot]

I think this is them admitted these two should've won

I NEED THIS SONG

[open heron]

Well they did make a song together

Think it was possibly released a few days ago

[worn turtle]

That was good until the #eurodab part

[slim tapir]

I love my boys

[misty zealot]

Yesterday

Also poor Hazel

"Do we kiss? PLEASE? No? Ok"

[open heron]

I am really not sure about eurodab

[misty zealot]

I liked the bit before

[open heron]

I might grow to like Eurodab more than I do now

[misty zealot]

Yeah I don't like this new song from Nemo sorry

[blissful tangle]

I've been trying to pay attention, but has anyway caught some of these open squares?

[worn turtle]

There’s been several out of tune moments

So that’s another bingo

[blissful tangle]

I haven't heard any, but then I'm not particularly musically minded, lol

[spare steppe]

Does it count if someone didn’t have any shirt to become with

[misty zealot]

Yes

It ripped off stage

[blissful tangle]

Who was that? I know the sauna one they changed, but that was a backup dancer, not contestant I thought

[boreal ginkgo]

Jury points time

[spare steppe]

I think I heard some boos

[worn turtle]

Yeah no that was totally some boos lmfao

[spare steppe]

We’re going down the charts

We’ve got something

We got some more points

[jovial swift]

⚠️ POINTS

[boreal ginkgo]

UK got points

[spare steppe]

Ukraine gave us points

[open heron]

Why do jury votes exist when they still favour neighbours?

[spare steppe]

Norway gave us

[misty zealot]

Ukraine gave us 10?!

[open heron]

This is quite interesting so far

[spare steppe]

Austria Pog

[worn turtle]

Funny

[spare steppe]

We are in top 10

[worn turtle]

I genuinely do not get the Austria love from the jury

Like it was alright but come on

[jovial swift]

I don't like the truncated scores they are showing

[worn turtle]

Italy was so much better

[jovial swift]

Where's the whole board with the sliding around

Oh there it is

ILLEGAL EIFFEL TOWER

[spare steppe]

The fuck is that

[boreal ginkgo]

Italian creature

What on Earth

[spare steppe]

Italy Pog

[misty zealot]

UK GOT A 12

I REPEAT

UK GOT A 12

[misty tide]

France sabotaging eurovision with an Eiffel Tower

And ??? HOW

[worn turtle]

“Our 12 cheesy-a points-a” 😭

[misty tide]

I mean it's over when we get to the public vote but

[spare steppe]

As long as we stay on the left that’s a win

[open heron]

With no overwhelming jury winner, televotes may decide

[ember verge]

quite spread out huh

[open heron]

This is thrilling

[worn turtle]

I’m rooting for Italy or Switzerland

[spare steppe]

I’m shocked Iceland got nothing

[worn turtle]

I do not get the Austria favors

[worn turtle]

Tbh very expected lmfao

[spare steppe]

1 point from Poland

I liked the Iceland song

[misty zealot]

Ireland giving the UK 2 points lol

[worn turtle]

Lmfao

“Top points go to… YOU!”

[frail crest]

fuck I'm missing the scoring

how is the UK doing so far may I ask

[spare steppe]

The twelve points are all other the place

We are in left hand side

[worn turtle]

Fairly good
