Eurovision 2023

Italy is always a very yr da* sits up approvingly and says “”now THAT is a song” song.

*not my da, he loves his pop

YES

omg this Finland song took a wonderful twist

Poptimism is alive and kicking in Finland.

ok that's my favourite so far and i appreciate it stayed just on the right side of novelty

nice appendix scar

This is getting at least two of my votes

angry Czech rapping i am very much here for you

okay, I’m fully loving “Cha cha” now. may it finish first.

two bangers in a row, now we got a show

Finland - Czecho is best run of songs of the night xp

the last 12 months have only intensified my dislike of Sam Ryder btw

Australia needs to die now

"Sam Ryder"

Sadly I am going to get to know who the fuck that is tonight.

xp hahaha i was trying to work out how to tactfully say that

Synthwave needs to get in the bin.

In particular Comedy Synthwave.

VIBES ALERT

really liked that Armenian song

do love a flute riff

Wasn't feeling that or Belgium.

Moldovia is more like it.

That = Armenia.

“Duje” is my favourite by a million miles

(altho his vocal was a bit shaky compared to the semi)

norway sounds like one of the newer Marina and the Diamonds so far

Norway was dece, Ukraine wasn't

Oh god Germany fuck off

Didn't care for Ukraine but here is some background.

Ukraine selected their entry in Dec in a national final broadcast from a literal bomb shelter, just in case.

Nigerian immigrant Jimoh Augustus Kehinde and his band Tvorchi won the televote, which is a *big deal* for a country for Ukraine, and honestly puts W Europe to shame.

Germany is capable of getting 0 votes yet again.

This Germany song might be alright if somebody who wasn't these was doing it

Ukraine song was interesting at least.

Digging a bit of BASE in that Slovenian entry.

Maneskin by way of The Monkees.

Or when Wand Erection came out on stage playing guitars.

Hard pass on Croatia

Somebody do a pro-war song ffs

Please

What is this aesthetic? Death camps but gay?

wish we could enter Earl Brutus circa 1998 with full 2023 budget for set design.

Karen Poole from Alisha’s Attic???

Another year, another nothing entry by the UK.

This is much better than usual!
