Eurovision 2015 - Vienna

[Epona]

Honourable mentions (in my scoring) go to Sweden, Australia, and Belgium

 

[weltweit]

So voting is different this year or not?

Still announced the same way or what?

 

[tommers]

I'm disappointed. Too much shouting, not enough nonsense. It all took itself too seriously.

We may have been rubbish but at least it was different.

Estonia for me.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Sadly, I think Serbia will be relegated to top 10 only. Which is a damn shame. It'll be a battle between Russia and Sweden, but there are plenty I think could sneak in and do well.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Austria's commentator called the UK song a "3 minute long cry for help"

<3

 

[tommers]

Is this stomp?

 

[Saffy]

The UK are doing a mighty fine job of trying to get in the background, waving their flags.

Fuck 'em. Desperate.

 

[Epona]

Love me a bit of jazz xylophone

 

[toblerone3]

Intermission music had a bit of Fela Kuti there with the brass and horns.

 

[5t3IIa]

Wait, what is this? Xylomaphones!!

 

[tommers]

This is changing my vote in any future referendum.

 

[Vintage Paw]

That sigh you just heard was a million people around Europe letting that wee out.

 

[FiFi]

The opinion of Tumbl, as relayed by the Resident Teen, is that the UK were the novelty act this year.

 

[5t3IIa]

Cor Anglais!

Good! It fucking needed one.

Teen knows what's up.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

What's going on!?!

 

[Saffy]

These percussionists are very happy in their work.

 

[Sirena]

This is a really boring bit.

I think Russia will win...

 

[5t3IIa]

What's going on!?!

Is that Daniel Craig in the chorus?!

 

[friendofdorothy]

Sorry I've been distracted so far this evening and haven't tuned in 'til just now. Just in time to see the recap (which has saved me hours of misery by the sound of it.

Serbian lady looked impressive
Help! Austria's piano's on fire
Latvia has the best frock
Georgia has the best goth

but when did Australia move to Europe? and I though Israel was pushing the bounds of geography a bit..

 

[Tony_LeaS]

Dave Grohl making a nice cameo playing every fucking instrument known to man

 

[Saffy]

He's so happy!

 

[Tony_LeaS]

My preferred top 5: Georgia, Serbia, Latvia, Israel, Russia

Obviously not gonna happen but Europe always surprises!

 

[tommers]

That man loves his work.

Maybe a bit too much.

 

[Epona]

I want some of whatever those drummers have taken

 

[tommers]

Somebody's invaded the stage!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

It's turned into the theme for a 1980's cop show!

 

[Tony_LeaS]

Isn't the super happy drummer the kid from Whiplash?
