Originally posted by MsD View PostI loved it, Italy were sex on legs (apart from the crying one) with a great tune. Also liked Lithuania, and Ukraine. A few others but they've evaporated in my memory.
The costumes - a lot of sub-Thierry Mugler (which I never liked in the 80s) going on, dresses like upholstery with big unflattering lumps. But, fashion goes in circles so maybe this is exciting to some millennials. Shout out for the blousoned, bequiffed Swiss chap. I know someone who used to dress like that. It all looked very flammable.
Those big wings were nice, I'm a sucker for big wings so I do hope there's a heaven after all.
All around, great fun and I loved all the flag shaggers huffily saying today "we should have sent Adele or Elton" and pretending they didn't care anyway.
Truth is, being in the big five is our downfall, but the people selecting the songs haven't figured it out yet. 20 of those finalists on Saturday had to qualify. They have to stand out to get there in the first place. The big five and the hosts don't, which is why they are so regularly at the bottom. An average song with nothing flashy in the presentation for the other countries is going to see them weeded out midweek. Once you're in the final, aiming to not be shit, and ending up being everyone's 13th best favourite isn't going to help you much.

It's not really a Eurovision style song. The Italian effort last year wasn't a typical Eurovision song either - rock music doesnt typically do that well in the contest. I think we'll get points with it, but not many. It'll be on the 2nd half of the screen rather than the first.

That was fun, but never had a doubt.
Since Conchita winning for Austria, it was never in doubt. I liked 9 of the last 25, And Ukraine's was good too.
Sorry, I missed the thing with y'all. I got super involved after the cup final. And to the UK host next year, if Ukraine still has it's difficulties?

Yeah... and to think that y'all didn't notice that I have been stoned off my face for the last 6 years.
Ohio, not so much.
Note to self: nobody cares. I didn't see it, but I had a Skype with the ex-husband who is even more of a fan than me. He thought... Yeah, he thought the UK song was the winner. He is of course blind and deaf,, and that's why he married me.
UK song was ok. Ukraine was ok. There was one that stood out other than the winner. See if you can guess what it was (from my point of view), and no, not that there Iceland.
