Eurovision 2015 - Vienna

[flypanam]

Damn it. We have a big family gathering for many 50th's this saturday. One of said people has insisted that we make Saturday a bloody Eurovision evening, with accompanying food and drink, everyone taking one country each. And everyone#'s taken the decent countries so I'm left with eastern bloody europe, and not even the parts that make vodka

It's making me feel all UKIPy, the bastard

You need plum brandy.

 

[toblerone3]

i predict a total of 17 points

Ok I am predicting that the UK will get more than three times that amount of points. Does 60 points get you a top half of the scoreboard finish ?

 

[Vintage Paw]

Are we ready for tonight's semi?

Just been listening to Serbia again. It's growing on me more and more. It's great to belt out. It has growling. It has a crescendo. It has positivity. It has everything. It's not quite on the level of Rise Like a Phoenix, but not much could be. I'm trying to get tumblr onboard. It's made for the tumblr generation. I shall engineer their bloc voting!

 

[red rose]

Why all the politico angst? You are taking it way too seriously. Its a catchy tune and I think it will do quite well.

Fuck that, it's a valid point. Other countries are singing about tolerance and how it's ok to be different and our entry is full of patriarchal nonsense. Just because they've sampled a genre of music from the 1930s doesn't mean they should also adopt the values of the 1930s

 

[Lord Camomile]

red rose - All hail the glow cloud

 

[red rose]

OMFG how did I not see that!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Only occurred to me this evening

 

[Lord Camomile]

And yes, I have tweeted Night Vale

 

[red rose]

I love the postcards, they're always so twee and cheesy

 

[Lord Camomile]

Whoops, I think she forgot her steps there.

 

[Vintage Paw]

This will do well. Nice and poppy, upbeat, sweet, kissing, breaks. Good good.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Not sure about the background banjo. But I can forgive it. This is catchy.

 

[Lord Camomile]

It's got better, but have thought it's a bit weak in every dept. except the set.

 

[Lord Camomile]

"I gave her some honey on the red carpet" - sweet jaysis...

 

[red rose]

I'm having trouble paying attention to this one, it's a bit dull.

 

[Vintage Paw]

No way is she ever 17.

 

[Lord Camomile]

This is a fairly solid song, though don't think it's got enough to win.

Just what Ireland are after, probably

 

[Lord Camomile]

I'm having trouble paying attention to this one, it's a bit dull.

This is from the country that gave us Enya, remember

 

[wtfftw]

Bit boring really.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Right, I gotta go close the desk, will have to catch up with the songs I miss during the 'chat'.

 

[Dr. Furface]

That was some boring shit Ireland

 

[Vintage Paw]

What even is this? This is weird. He's so chuffed to be there. And also looks like a precocious little shit.

 

[red rose]

This is in no way as interesting as Mills made it out to be.

 

[wtfftw]

Love shine a light in every corner of the world.

 

[belboid]

Oh, there are more, I thought they'd done with the semi-finals. I dont think I'm going to need to learn any San Marinese cuisine for saturday

To be fair to San Marino they probably pick the contestants Hunger Games style, and if they lose they are beheaded in a football ground for everyone to see.

The beauty of Eurovision!

 

[Vintage Paw]

How very bizarre. I can't work out that song at all.

 

[belboid]

The beauty of Eurovision!

shorely the winners get to escape with a quick decapitation, the losers have to die a thousand deaths live on telly

 

[red rose]

I quite like this

 

[Tony_LeaS]

If youclose your eyes to this song and ignore the singing, the musics quite nice.
