Eurovision 2023

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

Hard Rocky Horror Show Hallelujah

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

Albania 🇦🇱
Moldova 🇲🇩
Finland 🇫🇮

Spain 🇪🇸
Czech 🇨🇿
Serbia 🇷🇸

I think

So, I need to explain Croatia.

The band, Let 3, are a famous Croatian left-wing punk group who have mocked the country's nationalism, supported Prides, and once got arrested for performing naked even though the band protested that they weren't cos they had corks in their butts. pic.twitter.com/aNKETv9K1A

Unfortunately the jump cut typography they've applied to the 'UNITED BY MUSIC' idents is causing me to repeatedly see the word 'CNUT' on screen briefly.

We’re watching it in a gay bar in Manchester, from where I can report that Norway, Poland, Finland, Israel, Croatia and errr UK all smashed it. Drink may have been involved.

and Sweden didn’t? - relevant anecdotal data!

I retract my comment about the Croatians!

Netta does not move like any human I've seen before

I’m glad they got Imagine out of the way first

The mirror father mirror performance of Whole Again I didn’t know I needed

Cmon, I Turn To You is such a banger, don’t John Lewis it :(

Moldova, you mean? it’s total Ukraine/Go_A core, and that is of course great

Croatia

ah okay

The mirror father mirror performance of Whole Again I didn’t know I needed

Sonia's Better The Devil You Know, a reminder of 1993, when this fucking shit song was still one of the better ones in the competition.
