[GinAg (39)]

I would love to have a serious conversation with the Danish costume designer.

What a sad mess

[dmlaw]

Now the hottest ever Eurovision contestant. Skirt too long.

 

[Penelope]

Do we have confirmation that Eleftheria isn't Eleni before contracting every STD known to man?

 

[VoR]

I wonder whatever happened to Soluna Samay?

Swedish and Norwegian entrants tend to stick around to some degree, but in Denmark it really is like it’s straight to the glue factory afterwards…

 

[Madíson]

Eleftheria Eleftheriou is the best name ever in history.

 

[dmlaw]

Do we have confirmation that Eleftheria isn't Eleni before contracting every STD known to man?

She certainly has some weird disease that makes it sound as if the vocal is coming from the back right of the stage.

 

[Penelope]

I wonder whatever happened to Soluna Samay?

Swedish and Norwegian entrants tend to stick around to some degree, but in Denmark it really is like it’s straight to the glue factory afterwards…

Released this, did an album in 2016 that went nowhere, UNHEARD OF since

 

[Penelope]

SORELY MISSED that sort of nonsense really. At least Cyprus have picked up the torch!

She appears to do free concerts at Christianshavn these days. Not sure what makes that different from busking.

 

[dmlaw]

Ooh, it’s snowing.

 

[Madíson]

Ooh, it’s snowing.

But for ninety minutes Azerbaijan been banging on about fire. This makes no sense.

 

[Penelope]

What a load of DATED OLD TRIPE

[Penelope]

The mark of a bad host is one that indulges Lys Assia

 

[GinAg (39)]

When I was minus 23 years old... SHUT UP.

 

[dmlaw]

You can tell that Elnar has been heavily into the coke at this point.

 

[Penelope]

! at Azerbaijan getting out LAND OF TEA for this queen

 

[D5K]

I've just arrived. Did I miss much?

 

[GinAg (39)]

I for one hope they start reanimating her corpse.

 

[Penelope]

You can tell that Elnar has been heavily into the coke at this point.

Oh please. He's so simple he probably goes 'omg what's THAT' at a spliff

 

[dmlaw]

I've just arrived. Did I miss much?

Not really. The best song in the contest is up next.

 

[D5K]

Oh fuck.

 

[Penelope]

It is, admittedly, fascinating seeing the state of gay culture in some countries.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Come home Turkey.

 

[Madíson]

Can Bonobo is married. To a woman

 

[Penelope]

The FUCKING SHIP

 

[D5K]

This is the worst song of the night isn't it?

 

[Penelope]

I will confess...a very sneaking regard for that

[GinAg (39)]

The MOUTH has arrived.

 

[dmlaw]

This vocal is just jaw-dropping.

 

[Penelope]

Why does that horse keep yelling at me

 

[dmlaw]

Why does that horse keep yelling at me

She wants you to stay with her.

[Penelope]

Oh god not THIS

 

[dmlaw]

There is no better time to get another beer than when Roman Lob is singing.

 

[Madíson]

Does he have horrible hair?

 

[D5K]

This is better than I remember it tbh.

 

[dmlaw]

Does he have horrible hair?

I think maybe he’s Sikh.
