Eurovision 2019

This Swedish song is pretty good once it gets going, then it sounds like an actual current pop song.

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!"

Wow, Slovenia is pretty cool, the best song so far.

Cool but if the next song is some bosh-bosh number it'll be overshadowed.

... guess what?

Complete with 'Making Your Mind Up' costume rip.

Probably the first time an Eurovision song has mentioned the 808?

Oh god, The Netherlands entry is everything I fucking hate in music, right down to its woooooooooh's.

This is supposed to be the favourite?!

Chris Martin's favourite.

Ugh, please tell me that won't win.

this lady from Greece sounds like she’s singing through a pillow

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

Is that Mayim Bialik onstage during the Greek entry!?

"Where you wanna fuck?"

With a voice like that, feels like she could've done something less bombastic to make it stand out more.

"I can hug the water when it snows"!?!

I just don't see the appeal of these overwrought show tunes.

"Brrruuuuuuuhuuuhuhuuhuyuhhuuuuuiiiiiiiseeeeee!" ... god, this is fucking horrible.

They never win.

Someone pass this dude a Kleenex!

Jesus christ, I was enjoying the Norwegian entry until the bald guy turned up!

Is the third singer with Norway singing in joik?

Hooo la hooo la hooo la </Vic & Bob>

Just in case you thought this Norway entry wasn't a Eurovision song, here's a bald guy for no reason!

Oh yeah, he is. I guess it's cool to see the Sami people represented, tho maybe not like this.

Norway obviously the best one by absolute miles so far

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

"try it and choke-ah"?

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?

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.

It's bigger than us, it's bigger than the universe, it's bigger than the two of us!

Feels like a generic reality TV winner Eurovision performer, he.

Better than most UK entries. The trousers were a mistake though.

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).

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.

HATRED WILL PREVAIL

YES! ICELAND DELIVERS!

oh yes

nice to see the jim rose circus getting some work

So, Atari Teenage Riot lives in Iceland now?

Iceland caught between Rammstein and Susanne Sundfor

A pity the Virgin Prunes never got to represent Ireland though.

This fucking rules. This should get all the points. It has everything!

Maybe I will vote for Iceland but assless pants would have made that a certainty

Digitally distorted screaming and fire, what more could you want? I feel sorry for anyone who has to follow that.
