It's very fair to say that, visually, I enjoyed about a third of that performance.

I can't remember, has Norway or Sweden ever sent a Sami singer before to the contest? I know Finland hasn't.

It's the best mix so far between current hit single and Eurovision bonkers.

So who's UK's act this year?
― Tuomas, Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:22 (seven years ago)
The UK's entry sounds like something off the last Coldplay album and gave me a migraine within the first couple of bars. Totally unremarkable.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:22 (seven years ago)
It's bigger than us, it's bigger than the universe, it's bigger than the two of us!
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:23 (seven years ago)
Feels like a generic reality TV winner Eurovision performer, he.
― Tuomas, Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:24 (seven years ago)
Better than most UK entries. The trousers were a mistake though.
― Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:24 (seven years ago)
It starts off OK but he overcooks the vocals towards the end. I would have preferred if Holly Tandy had won with her version (of the same song - yes this year's UK selection process was odd).
― just another country (snoball), Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:24 (seven years ago)
xp agreed it is better than recent UK entries, and it does fit in with the other Eurovision entries or at least not sound out of place.

YES! ICELAND DELIVERS!

oh yes

nice to see the jim rose circus getting some work

So, Atari Teenage Riot lives in Iceland now?
― Tuomas, Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:30 (seven years ago)
Iceland caught between Rammstein and Susanne Sundfor

A pity the Virgin Prunes never got to represent Ireland though.
― Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:30 (seven years ago)
This fucking rules. This should get all the points. It has everything!
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:31 (seven years ago)
Maybe I will vote for Iceland but assless pants would have made that a certainty
― L'assie (Euler), Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:31 (seven years ago)
Digitally distorted screaming and fire, what more could you want? I feel sorry for anyone who has to follow that.
Still prefer Norway but that was impressive
― imago, Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:32 (seven years ago)
...which, by the looks of it, is the Estonian Bon Jovi.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:32 (seven years ago)
god this poor estonian bastard having to follow iceland
― michael keaton IS jim thirlwell IN ‘foetaljuice’ (bizarro gazzara), Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:32 (seven years ago)
This is much better than the intro lead me to think. One of the best choruses so far.
― Tuomas, Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:34 (seven years ago)
Estonian cliche lyrics guitar strummer, kind of forgettable really.
― just another country (snoball), Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:34 (seven years ago)
Too smug to win.
― Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:35 (seven years ago)
This is Stay With Me by Sam Smith, which was already shit
― imago, Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:35 (seven years ago)
xp also should have cut to the chase and not bothered with the guitar at the beginning.

anyway my favorites so far are san marino, greece, and cyprus, and i look forward to hearing denmark's song in a psa
So this is like a budget version of the All Is Full of Love video?

robot arms comfortably in the top five most charismatic performers yet seen on stage tonight

this is a great scissor sisters b-side
― maura, Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:42 (seven years ago)
Denmark's lyrics were corny as hell, but the song and performance were undeniably cute. Also, bonus points for the random switch from English to French for the second half of the song.
― Tuomas, Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:43 (seven years ago)
Chorus of Azerbaijan's song is a bit too Maroon 5.
― just another country (snoball), Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:44 (seven years ago)
thanks, i hate this
― maura, Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:45 (seven years ago)
The French can't bring themselves to sing a song entirely in English, but they'd be better to just sing in French.
― Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:46 (seven years ago)
The thing that strikes me the most about the French entry is that the singer is really struggling to be on pitch.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:46 (seven years ago)
strong look, bad song
― michael keaton IS jim thirlwell IN ‘foetaljuice’ (bizarro gazzara), Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:47 (seven years ago)
It's usually the British entrants who can't sing.
― Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:47 (seven years ago)
damn french eating our lunch again, smdh
― michael keaton IS jim thirlwell IN ‘foetaljuice’ (bizarro gazzara), Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:48 (seven years ago)
Italy's entry also completely unremarkable. No hook whatsoever, really generic melody, not even a strong performance gimmick.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:49 (seven years ago)
First reference to Jackie Chan in Eurovision from the Italian entry?
― just another country (snoball), Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:50 (seven years ago)
At least it's in Italian.
― Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:50 (seven years ago)
Okay, Italy's song is surprisingly strong, and the lyrics are kinda too personal for something like this?
― Tuomas, Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:50 (seven years ago)
xpost:
Yes, there is that!
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Saturday, 18 May 2019 20:51 (seven years ago)
strong Shaggy vibes

The audience are only half-heartedly into this clapping gimmick.
