Eurovision 2019

[QueenOfGoths]

Mentalist just makes me think of Alan Partridge

 

[billy_bob]

What the fuck is happening?

 

[Steel Icarus]

My fave Eurovision song from the last few years. Still on my faux-pod.

 

[D'wards]

Isn't it funny how the rest of the world use the title mentalist for a mind reader, but in UK we can only think of one character when we hear it ...

 

[Orang Utan]

we could have had more eurovision songs instead of this nonsense

 

[Nine Bob Note]

The spirits are telling me it's a fucking syrup

 

[D'wards]

we could have had more eurovision songs instead of this nonsense

They have to have all this for voting and the count I assume

 

[peterkro]

Fuck me, the society of the spectacle just jumped the shark. (is down with the kids from 1947)

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I thought Madonna's new song was called "Na na Banana". I'm disappointed now.

 

[not-bono-ever]

cod reggae shite.

 

[magneze]

Ok, by the comments, I feel that the UK & Spainish coverage has diverged and we're now watching different things.

 

[magneze]

Going through all the songs again here. What about in the UK?

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Going through all the songs again here. What about in the UK?

Yup, same here

 

[billy_bob]

Jesus, still 15 minutes' voting time left?

Who is it who's still making up their minds?

 

[Baronage-Phase]

Hearing Norway again...they're really great.

 

[magneze]

What happened to Madonna btw?

 

[MrCurry]

Serbia: I know it's wrong of me but it's hard not to assume she's a white nationalist.

Serbia: I know it’s wrong of me, but it’s hard not to imagine her white bits.

 

[magneze]

Oh, she's on now

 

[RubyToogood]

By a heroic effort I came into this an hour ago and have now watched everything. Or a bit of everything anyway.

I have to admit to liking Estonia. Otherwise Denmark and Norway for me please. Not that I care enough to vote.

Is it Single Transferable Vote or First Past the Post?

 

[RubyToogood]

How much more of this nonsense is there now?

 

[Baronage-Phase]

Madonna going all gregorian chant.

Fuck. She's off key...

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Given lots of entrants are not in the EU I don't see what relevance this has

Let's head over to the Mail...

"If only Treason Mayhem has pulled her finger out and actually delivered Brexit we could have been saved from this embarrassing spectacle"

"What a piece of crap this "contest" is, why the hell do we bother entering it and why does the bbc bother covering it. I know it has European in the title and we must bow down to everything European mustn't we. Some of the best bands in the world come from the UK harking from the 60s onwards none of these countries have anything like those bands, in fact they still buy tickets to see them. If they want a real contest base it on the last 60 years not on some rubbish contest with garbage "songs."

"EU's baby....a lot of cr*p."

"we need to start our own commonwealth-vision song contest after Brexit"

"Anti-capitalists! Ha!Ha! You mean champagne socialists as exemplified by the Bliars and Kinnocks. Nobody to have money but US. Bet you anything you like that those Icelandic kids have RICH families."

"Britain to take the crown? Has he seen the history, best he should be aiming for is to get some points and not finish in the bottom. The contest is all fixed and bias."

 

[billy_bob]

Best Madonna song ever.

e2a: but yeah, off key like fuck. Ouch.

 

[ginger_syn]

Anyone else not keen on madonna

 

[Baronage-Phase]

This hurts

 

[wtfftw]

Oh great. I managed to resettle the child and get back in time for Madonna.

 

[Orang Utan]

Best Madonna song ever.

e2a: but yeah, off key like fuck. Ouch.

Big PRoD tune

 

[D'wards]

Madonna doing a mid 90s version of Like a Prayer there

 

[wtfftw]

Christ.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Bit out of tune.
