[Penelope Will Rave]

Since when was funky Maltese?

 

[Madisön]

What's the oppostie of Big Dick Energy?

 

[D1ZZY]

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

 

[Penelope Will Rave]

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

 

[Laß diemlaw Sonne in dein Herz]

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 Will Rave]

Far more fun than it had any right to be

[Penelope Will Rave]

Piss queens Jedward!

 

[Laß diemlaw Sonne in dein Herz]

This is actually oddly enjoyable.

 

[D1ZZY]

They're 30 today!

 

[Penelope Will Rave]

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.

[Laß diemlaw Sonne in dein Herz]

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

 

[D1ZZY]

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

 

[Penelope Will Rave]

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

[Madisön]

I think they should have featured the flame towers more.

 

[Laß diemlaw Sonne in dein Herz]

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

 

[Penelope Will Rave]

Now THIS is what being yelled at should be like

 

[Laß diemlaw Sonne in dein Herz]

The audience really are visibly flagging now.

 

[D1ZZY]

The audience really are visibly flagging now.

Was it about 2am at this stage?

 

[Penelope Will Rave]

Oh this ODYSSEY!

 

[D1ZZY]

God I love Moldova at Eurovision.

 

[Penelope Will Rave]

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

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

 

[D1ZZY]

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

-1 Turkey

 

[Laß diemlaw Sonne in dein Herz]

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

Did you make it through the results back then?

 

[Poor SertAg (39)]

SUPER RELAXING

 

[Laß diemlaw Sonne in dein Herz]

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

 

[Madisön]

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