Eurovision 2023

"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.

Blood and glitter / sweet and bitter / I wrote these lyrics / on the shitter

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!

it's fine, not embarrassing, that's a big win compared to most of our entries over the years.

think I'm voting for Spain

Her mic seems very low in the mix

how do I vote for Hannah Waddingham

Spain and Norway were my faves but I never pick this thing correctly

UK entry grew on me a bit this week but still too cold and calculated for my taste

Finland, Czechia and Moldova my faves I think

My faves in order: Austria, Czech, Moldovia, Serbia, Finland, Spain. If anyone of these are the winners great.

Got a bad feeling about Croatia. It's just weird and novel enough to pull something off.

Or maybe sexy Italian boring bloke.

god help me i ended up sort of liking the vocal layers in the Croatia one but they must not be indulged

that flute riff in the Moldova song is a proper hook

That one has something I haven't quite heard before. The whole package xp = yeah that's the kind of thing I always want to win

Finland > Austria > Czechia > Ukraine > Lithuania > Italy in a pinch > everything else
