YES! IT'S EUROVISION TIIIIIIIIIIIIME! Join me to gasp, cry at the best party in Europe!
Sparkly flag ceremony. Why is there a massive plane on the background, like it looks like the whole thing is about to be overurn by a Boeing? Oh wait, I just got that's the theme..
Very Lady Gaga outfit in canary yellow...
Are they rolling out Israeli singers from the past?
Also,wtf is Belarus guy doing?
Thanks for shouting the hosts names, not a clue what they were.
Will keep this dating advice in mind... On the third date... you announce the winner.
Look at that crowd! So many gays in one space. It is like gay Christmas, right?
1. Malta - young pretty girl... wearing cling film sleeves? Why? Catchy song! Like the background fx. Also want to know how her knee high socks actually stay up..
2. Albania - extra points for the tattoos. She's gone from Betty Boo to Romani Princess? Also points for singing in her own language.
3. Czech Republic - are these boys even legal? Maybe I'm just old... Are they gonna give me any stage gay? That's what I want to know? Very 80s vibe here with the outfits, and they are very jumpy. But the song topic is blah. If this was actually in Czech I would probably enjoy the song more because I wouldn't understand the lyrics
4. Germany - Frolicking ladies! Sadl the vibe has gone a bit 'breathplay gone wrong' in the actual performance... 'i hold you under but you keep breathing'?? I mean is this going to end up in some realisation that 'what i actually feel for you is not sisterly at all'? Oh, very vibey.
5. Russia - Will there be milkmaids? I mean, I wouldn't mind milking him...And bet he would, indeed, scream. Oh no, he's stuck in the glass box of denial. It would be better if he was actually getting wet. I mean the production is awesome.
- random interview with Gautier -
6. Denmark - Automatic points for suspenders. Very sweet little song. Not sure about 'don't get too political' line though. Liked the language switching.
7. San Marino - the fuck? He ca't sing... but ther are boys in shorts. This is not my favourite Na Na Na song, MCR still million times better.
8. North Macedonia - Meh. Just... meh. Good voice. Othewise is not setting my heart, nor my loins, in fire.
- this is the boring bit, the talking, I don't caaaaaaaaaare -
9. Sweden - He's very pretty isn't he? And he can rollerskate. And croon. I mean it's Bland Pop but like... pretty? Excellent backing vocals but sadly I've already forgotten about the song. Whilst he was still singing it. Would watch these ladies without him.
10. Slovenia - Is it incest time? This is very River and Simon Tam. Just saying. She looks like an alien and he looks like he's coming in his pants. I can't look away... It's like a twincest accident. Feel so uncomfortable. Literally screeched at the half kiss. Gah!
11. Cyprus - That looks like it's going leave welts in uncomfortable places. I hope she's wearing like... padded cotton panties under there. Though kudos for dancing in those boots. I mean, I was browsing Prowler in Soho yesterday, and this is a bit the outfit vibe that is going on here.
12. Netherlands - He's trying to go for that singer-song writer but he's no Tom McRae or Ryan Adams. I like the phrase 'loving you is a losing day' also, good voice. But this isn't the gay party anthem we're looking for. This is the song for three weeks after the party when you realise you've managed to fall in love with the hook up you had at that party.
13. Greece - Girls with swords, already love this. Quite like this. Very Florence and The Machine vibe indeed. Lot of ruffles. Petals... opening... in her special garden...
- boring green room bit -
14. Israel - porn tache! This was the weeing song. I.e. the song during which I went to the loo.
15. Norway - oh cool, Sami. Also, very much digging the aesthetic. Also joiking. Favourite so far.
16. United Kingdom - 'Pride of Hartlepool', okay that made me laugh. He's trying to be so edgy with his rings and leather jacket but he looks like 14 year old theatre kid, loves musicals, has a scooter. He wants to be Travolta but he's Olivia Newton-John. What is he singing about? Love? Brexit?
17. Iceland - BDSM Rammstein wannabes! yesss....I mean the song is awful. But I really enjoy the aesthetic a lot. And the cage, the crawling, the corsets. I think the 'Hope of Hartlepool' is going to have a formative experience with this boys later.
18. Estonia - he's incredibly inoffensive, isn't he? Very pretty. Would bend over.
19. Belarus - Now we're getting some pure eurotrash vibe. Like this wouldn't be out of place in 1995 MTV. Kudos for solid dance routine.
20. Azerbaijan - Already points for getting wet. Digging the laser heart. Wondering if he's going to get probed by the robot arms? Also points for showing off his nicely toned arms.
21. France - enjoying the androgony. Also BBW balet dancer. This is good. Liked this a lot.
22. Italy - boy can clap. Otherwise I'm not really into it. Quite sulky, isn't he?
23. Serbia - More blondes. Those are some spiky bracelets. That's gona hurt when she backhands someone. Quite like the dress, already forgotte about the song.
24. Switzerland - kinda catchy, but he also seems a bit too smug for me. Like them more like emoting, or idk, face down on the floor. But when he gets pegged at the afterparty, maybe he'll be more palatable then.
25. Australia - another blonde. Also, Australia, that well known European country. This outfit is very Elsa from Frozen. But wow on the stigs. That's terrifying. Much respect to everyone's core strength there.
26. Spain - It's like prelude to 'omg they were roommates' happy poly family fic. And a light puppet! Love it. They're so wholesome.
What is happening right now... Ah, singing each others' songs. Going full circle quite like it. I mean my brain kinda hurts but... in a good way?
I mean... has Madonna ran out of money? She... doesn't look like she actually wants to be there? But also, that space pirate outfit is excellent. It's so cringy though.
Idk who this guy (also wearing a space pirate outfit) is but mate, do not judge European 'culture' on this.
Good to hear 'Like A Prayer' but it's obvious she hasn't sung this for a while... The second number is... not subtle. The bit with the flags is... Let's see how that goes down.
Vote: liked the new system except for the delaaaaaaaaaaaaaays. Very happy about how well Norway did on the public vote. Would've preferred Sweden over The Netherlands.
Also, no one is surprised by UK's position. That's what happens when you throw your toys out of the pram.
