Eurovision Song Contest 2022

This is such a banger but going first is such a killer

Think it was 'Titanium' it reminded me of

Portugal is so dreary..

I quite like it for a slow one!

Surely only Portuguese people get that one?

Idk why the Rasmus opened with the IT vibe. This is not good.

Sounds like Bon Jovi.

Not surprising since it was co-written by Desmond Child.

Finland is the worst so far

Only liked Romania so far (didn't see the first entry)

It’s so bad.

Oh no. Switzerland. 💤

Disaster strikes as a bee has apparently stung the Swiss singer's tongue, still he's soldiering on.

France is next, no idea about it except it’s in Breton

That was the worst so far

Jesus, that Swiss thing.

Not surprising since it was co-written by Desmond Child.

France sounds exactly nothing like a French Eurovision song.

There’s a pretty insane entry after this (Norway)

Regional French banger

Idk why the Rasmus opened with the IT vibe. This is not good.

I hope the singer gave that lollipop man his coat back.

What does the first 2 lines of this sound like?

That was one of the better French entries.

It might be Shakira - She Wolf that I'm thinking of re Norway. BIG COINCIDENCE IF SO

Norway spent too long on the concept and not enough time on the tune.

The song kind of repeats a bit but the audacity carries it.

Armenia is the kind of ballad that has won in the past

I have already forgotten it

Haven't really liked anything so far, to be honest.

Much as I love Eurovision it is always at least 70% dross

Czechs and France best so far, but yeah, nothing exactly amazing.

The Armenian song went up a notch at the end which improved it a lot. Now we have to put up with Mika while the stage crew clean up all that toilet paper.

Armenia is the kind of ballad that has won in the past

Presenting is even worse than usual somehow.

I've been paying so little attention that I've only just realised it's THAT Mika

Italy: so that's "good" is it? hm

Bad defence by Italy.

Graham loved it for some reason.

Spain brings it - but in a good year half the songs would slam like this.

Spain is a bit like the Romania entry..

snoball otm

When's the next awful one, I need to make another cocktail

Italian song was a complete mess.

go for it

Singing in Dutch, that's brave.

That last one is growing on me weirdly

The Dutch song gains an expansiveness halfway through that gives it something extra. Odd how the crowd sound like they're singing along a lot more than usual.

Ukraine...is actually quite good.

It’s not a patch on last year’s though

Yes, it's nothing special.

I'm glad it's passable as it would be really annoying if it was a shitty ballad and won anyway.
