Ukraine has officially dropped out of Eurovision as they can’t find anyone willing to take the place of the nominee who wouldn’t sign the nationalist pledge.

The Czech entry is a friend of mine so I suspended my boycott for three minutes. He did well!
― ShariVari, Tuesday, 14 May 2019 19:40 (seven years ago)
he looked very happy

I’m watching! Russia may be the best this time.
― L'assie (Euler), Saturday, 18 May 2019 19:51 (seven years ago)
I'm watching. Malta was pretty good, Albania was one of those operatic things that never works well, Czech Republic was catchy but o____O those lyrics, Germany meh, Russia trying too hard again, Denmark's Lily Allen, San Marino's singing dentist might score highly, North Macedonia a bit overwrought.
― just another country (snoball), Saturday, 18 May 2019 19:53 (seven years ago)
I saw the Czech Republic's entry, which looked like a parody of The 1975, and immediately felt that this decade should hurry up and fuck off.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Saturday, 18 May 2019 19:53 (seven years ago)
The Singing Dentist gets my vote.
― Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Saturday, 18 May 2019 19:54 (seven years ago)
This Swedish song is pretty good once it gets going, then it sounds like an actual current pop song.
― just another country (snoball), Saturday, 18 May 2019 19:55 (seven years ago)
I'm hoping there's some over the top pyro and furious double hand tapping guitar solos at some point. Or even something like that Greek entry from the early '00s where they were dressed as robots and singing "GIVE THE PASSWORD!"
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Saturday, 18 May 2019 19:55 (seven years ago)
Wow, Slovenia is pretty cool, the best song so far.
― Tuomas, Saturday, 18 May 2019 19:58 (seven years ago)
Cool but if the next song is some bosh-bosh number it'll be overshadowed.

I like her voice and performance in the verses, but the chorus is too generic.

Is that Mayim Bialik onstage during the Greek entry!?

Norway got 12 from UK voters! tt voted Iceland but her top 3 were the UK top three as well

The Australian entry from a few years back had a great jury score but the public only gave him 2 points & I absolutely thought that was racism

I don't think a black singer has ever won, right?
― Tuomas, Saturday, 18 May 2019 23:06 (seven years ago)
I thought Sweden won with a ... non-white singer?
― Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Saturday, 18 May 2019 23:08 (seven years ago)
I don't actually know what ethnicity she was though tbh.
― Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Saturday, 18 May 2019 23:09 (seven years ago)
Sweden track needs a better chorus. Fun backing vox though.
Britain giving max to Norway pop is reassuring tho

Loreen is of North African descent, I think. That's the only time a non-white person has won, right? Or does Jamala count?

Late answer here, but OH YES INDEED, complete with references to then-recent Sami protests against hydroelectric development in northern Norway. This joik was sounding around the schoolyards for AGES it felt:
