Her song Vidlik from last year was a banger.

she validated my entire life's commitment to eurovision
I've never needed any validation, I'm Eurovision till I die.

Look away, mark s, it's a bellowing child.
― Punnet of the Grapes (Tom D.), Saturday, 13 May 2017 21:34 (nine years ago)
Belgium is good! Azerbaijan also ok. Didn't mind UK. Unfortunately, I can see Sweden or Croatia winning. The Croatia and Romania were a little bit batshit, so there's some typical Eurovision.

An Aussie just mooned during a live performance. I hope it was KBP

See what happens when you invite them to appear in Eurovision.
― Punnet of the Grapes (Tom D.), Saturday, 13 May 2017 21:46 (nine years ago)
It paid off
― Odysseus, Saturday, 13 May 2017 21:48 (nine years ago)

― Odysseus, Saturday, 13 May 2017 21:52 (nine years ago)

― kraudive, Saturday, 13 May 2017 21:58 (nine years ago)
Fuck this, I'm watching the football.
― Punnet of the Grapes (Tom D.), Saturday, 13 May 2017 21:59 (nine years ago)
Wonder who will get 12 points from Greece...
― Odysseus, Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:00 (nine years ago)
haha
― Odysseus, Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:01 (nine years ago)
Croatia is getting very few points which can only be due to the singer's fucking horrible personal opinions. I think it'd score high otherwise.
― kraudive, Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:01 (nine years ago)
portugal fuckin sucks
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:03 (nine years ago)
still no points for Spain
― kinder, Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:04 (nine years ago)
I always wondered what happened to Hinge & Bracket
― Odysseus, Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:06 (nine years ago)
We Send Australia our crims and they give is 12 pts haha
― Odysseus, Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:10 (nine years ago)
Brexit, Trump and now this.
― Punnet of the Grapes (Tom D.), Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:25 (nine years ago)
Jesus, Australia got next to nothing,
― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:29 (nine years ago)
An Aussie just mooned during a live performance.

how do they assign specific numbers of points from the votes? it wasn't like this in my day
― kinder, Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:30 (nine years ago)
I hate the viewers vote.
― Odysseus, Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:31 (nine years ago)
Everyone pissed off Portugal won?
I think it's quite good considering they've never won it. Crap song tho..
― Odysseus, Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:39 (nine years ago)
OMG, Rockism triumphs at Eurovision.
― Punnet of the Grapes (Tom D.), Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:40 (nine years ago)

― Odysseus, Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:42 (nine years ago)

― mark s, Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:48 (nine years ago)

― mark s, Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:49 (nine years ago)
Yeah, voting stage is much better than it used to be
― Camaraderie at Arms Length, Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:51 (nine years ago)
Great to see Hungary coming through at the end. idk how Europe decided Australia was worse than Spain but Austria getting nothing was very welcome.
I had Isaiah at 11/4 to finish in the top ten and he just about held on.
― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:55 (nine years ago)
oh right the voter points are still based on the ranking 1-12 points
― kinder, Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:55 (nine years ago)
I remember when I was first watching all the songs/videos two months back I was thinking that Portugal had the virtue of being thoroughly atypical compared to the rest of the field, if nothing else, and here we are. I do wonder how much the medical backstory played into a sympathy vote and all.
Great to see Hungary coming through at the end.
That one quietly grew on me over time.
My two real favorite results -- Belgium placing fourth (would have loved it to beat Moldova at least but I'll take the rest) and Spain getting so completely trashed.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:57 (nine years ago)
his backstory and portugal's -- and he sang it really well and the arrangement was nice (very 50s strings, like an eartha kitt record or something)
i fear it will create a tsunami of badness next year, assuming the second korean war doesn't take us there first

As I said upthread, it reminded me of Harry Nilsson a bit, but it was a pastiche though, it kept threatening to turn into another song.
― Punnet of the Grapes (Tom D.), Saturday, 13 May 2017 23:08 (nine years ago)
So per this article on the winner:
http://www.lavozdegalicia.es/noticia/television/2017/05/12/historia-erasmus-portugues-atiborro-alucinogenos-mallorca-favorito-ganar-eurovision/00031494588376440908522.htm?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=twgen
...this Google-translated detail:
The Portuguese Salvador Sobral left his country in 2011 with destination to Mallorca . He did it with an Erasmus scholarship, with the clear intention of polishing his training in Psychology. The problem is that the Balearic night confessed to him, and as he himself acknowledged, he ended up walking on the faculty and cramming with hallucinogenic mushrooms and other drugs.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 13 May 2017 23:17 (nine years ago)
This is not a complaint, mind you, if anything I'm all "Well, yes, sounds right."
Makes you wonder why the songs is so bad.
Then you find out his sister wrote it.
