Anyone down for a group watch tonight?
Yep, but is the forum up to it?
Is the back-up Discord ready if the forum falls over?
It’s still active.
Here too – my annual apperance!
Let’s go!
Discord link if anyone needs it:
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Definitely, thanks.</p>
Portugal’s going to either be shit or hilarious, I think.
Sweden: gangster Marx brothers.
Bold of them to import a Communicube from Cybertron for the external crowd
Only song I’ve heard in advance this is the UK entry, which has very shonky pacing and always seems to zag when you expect it to zig, which I think will be an issue for it.
That’s kind of what I like about it. It’s grown on me.
“ESC” is not a term anyone uses, Switzerland. Please stop.
I can’t vote for my country either way, Eurovision!

I don’t hate it. I just can’t quite get a feel for it.
“Bringing the world together through music”. How’s that going?
Why can the UK still not vote online or by text? It’s been years now.
So when she says direct democracy, does she mean it in the cool Anarcho-syndacalist way, or the weird Liberterian nutjob way?
Norway’s intro video is the start to the most poring gay porn ever
Game Of Drones
At the risk of being crude, I don’t think the middle presenter’s dress is going to survive the night. She’s far too buff for how tight it is.
Pick your post-apocalyse, guys! You cna’t have decline back to medievalism and tacticool!
Also, this is the most generic Eurovision hip-hop/eurobeat crossover ever.

It just needs someone shouting Mortal Kombat over it
He says he’s own lighter and yet he’s not lighting any of those fires himself. Just a torrent of lies, Norway.
He’s his own, he’s his own liar?
Those dancing dudes weren’t bad.
Is she saying “move your van?”
This is nice, but she’s saying “poopy” too much to be taken seriously.
Sounds like an Anime opening theme.
I don’t think the song is all that, but she has a good voice and the staging is good.
Impressive staging, but I’m not sure of at least part of the backdrop imagery was AI or not, it had that weird sheen to it. I never thought I’d be saying that an almost expressionless face would be an advantage in this sort of event, but it worked when she was doing the Barbie doll thing.
WINNER
What is wrong with his legs?
Estonia making a random drive-by at Italy? I approve. More songs should be arbitrarily mocking other countries.
They’re totally mocking Trump with the stupidly long tie, aren;t they?
I mean…do we even need to see the other songs after this?🤷♂️
Def weird!!!
I really liked that one, it was weird, but very fun and genuinely entertaining.
What is wrong with his legs?
Nothing, Ben. Nothing.
Pee break song!
A lot of people in the YouTube chat are making similar jokes
A new day will rise, but we’ll bomb it down to rubble again….Like we do with hospitals.
Madonna’s Frozen meets Frozen.
“Darkness will fade” when our incendiary bombs rain down in the middle of the night on refugee tents.
They know they don’t need to make an effort when they’re going to try and astroturf the phone votes again.
I just want to see the contestants visiting the HR Giger café in these clips
Ooo, I like the mural in that postcard.
I can’t hear anything over that haircut.
This haircut might be the boldest choice of the night
Lithuania asking the bold question of “what if Kurt Cobain had been *more* depressed”?
Bold new direction for Radiohead
Guy in straight jacket, WTH!
Remember when they started having more rock bands on Eurovision, and they were fun and exciting? Glad we’ve gotten rid of the fun and excitement, I guess?
I’m amazed we haven’t entered the Darkness since Manoskin won.
Spain again playing the “for the dads” card.
Wasn’t this song in last year?
Ukraine singing a tribute to the mightly Klingon starship class
I’m sure this Ukrainian guy was in an episode of Blake’s 7.
This not only sounds like an anime opening, but these guys look like thy should be fighting demons in some Japanese forest.
This is OK, but it needs a bit more oomph to be great. Like heavier guitars and a bit more of a yell on the chorus?
I won’t lie, I thought Ukraine was a bit crap.
Jennifer Garner doing an amazing job hosting this year.

Thank you! Been trying to work out who she reminded me of.
Oh, I thought the one in the dress was the former contestant!
looks up Wikipedia
Oh shit, she won.
Arrest that Swiss.
Genuinely a good bit of crowd work!
UK’s intro video has them being flown out to the remote outpost where they all get killed and replaced by The Thing.
ooof, they’re not sounding good.
Oh god, they’re murdering their own song.
They’re doing well to hit all those harmonies, but ultimately I just don’t think it’s memorable or distinctive enough.
Hmm. Hadn’t heard this before. It’s okay but…oddly paced.
Nah! Def elements of various recognisable previous Eurovision songs!
The uptempo bits are reminding me of some other song and I can’t quite figure it out.
.. you ok, Austria?
Not feeling Australia at all
One Piece has really disappeared up its own arse lately.
