[Penelope]

Since when was funky Maltese?

 

[Madíson]

What's the oppostie of Big Dick Energy?

 

[D5K]

I remember someone on here (RobotBoy?) being furious that people enjoyed this purely because of that foot dance move.

 

[Penelope]

Anyway, obviously the great runner of the 2012 season was every joint interview with Can Bonomo and Kurt Calleja (a mere TWENTY FOUR here ) where they both repeatedly referred to the other as "my very good friend" with all the subtlety of a Brokeback Mountain getaway

 

[dmlaw]

When I see the hall lit up like that, I expect a Polish entry. Imagine what it would be like to have a huge wait involving Polish Eurovision songs.

 

[Penelope]

Far more fun than it had any right to be

[GinAg (39)]

Human rights campaigners Jedward!

 

[Penelope]

Piss queens Jedward!

 

[dmlaw]

This is actually oddly enjoyable.

 

[D5K]

They're 30 today!

 

[Penelope]

I don't know why they don't come back. This was far too soon, but they feel like they'd be WELCOMED AS ROYALTY if they gave it another shot now.

(also Loreen is 38 today).

 

[dmlaw]

So many Balkan ballads this year, but they left the best one (Slovenia) in the semi finals.

 

[D5K]

We're long overdue Zeljko coming back to the contest in some form.

 

[Penelope]

Probably the least of all the tracks he's written or sent himself, but that's still a HIGH BAR

[Madíson]

I think they should have featured the flame towers more.

 

[dmlaw]

Be her guest, be her guest, put her surface to the test.

 

[Penelope]

Now THIS is what being yelled at should be like

 

[dmlaw]

The audience really are visibly flagging now.

 

[D5K]

The audience really are visibly flagging now.

Was it about 2am at this stage?

 

[Penelope]

Oh this ODYSSEY!

 

[D5K]

God I love Moldova at Eurovision.

 

[Penelope]

From one of the all-time disaster openers to an all-time great closer!

[Madíson]

I've just realised, we rewatched this last March.

 

[D5K]

I've just realised, we rewatched this last March.

Yes I couldn't make all of tonight but I'm happy to revote with my votes from then which were:

12 Sweden
10 Norway
08 Spain
07 Moldova
06 Greece
05 Cyprus
04 Albania
03 Hungary
02 Iceland
01 Azerbaijan

-1 Turkey

 

[dmlaw]

Did you make it through the results back then?

 

[GinAg (39)]

SUPER RELAXING

 

[dmlaw]

I think I may have just ruined the Eurovision Again results by being the only person who didn’t give Sweden the 12.

 

[Madíson]

Wasn't Emin somehow involved in the first impeachment of Donald Trump?
