Eurovision 2019

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.

Still prefer Norway but that was impressive

...which, by the looks of it, is the Estonian Bon Jovi.

god this poor estonian bastard having to follow iceland

This is much better than the intro lead me to think. One of the best choruses so far.

Estonian cliche lyrics guitar strummer, kind of forgettable really.

Too smug to win.

This is Stay With Me by Sam Smith, which was already shit

xp also should have cut to the chase and not bothered with the guitar at the beginning.

young lady you are NOT leaving the house wearing that
