Eurovision 2022

[Numbers]

Ffs, dozed off again this afternoon. Mrs N watched it all, watched the history and has also cooked a Roast dinner.

I’ll give it another go in a bit cos she now looks a bit sleepy.

 

[brogdale]

Catching up here; did we get the 12 points from Rwanda?

!

TBF, I think he said something more along the lines of eventually or some day hosting it in Mariupol. Even Zalenskiy isn't quite so optimistic as to think it will happen next year. Very real probability that we'll host it, since even Lviv is getting hit now.

 

[Saffy]

How did Spain do so well. I cant even remember the song when I'm watching it.

It's all about the bum.

Rules is rules. If they weren't able to host shouldn't enter. I for one think Maripol next year would be an excellent idea might even watch

Right, 3rd time lucky. Have made it to Armenia #8 so far.

Mrs N is asleep, I’m wakey.

 

[dessiato]

It was one of my top 3. Lucky in the end they didn't win. Would have been tricky hosting it this year.

Because she forgot to wear all of her costume

Like the Dart charge, you have until midnight the next day to pay your dues.

Italy are on. I SO want a sequinned jump suit/suit.

 

[belboid]

Last year's song from Ukraine was an absolute banger. I still listen to it.

They’re looking for uk gigs at the moment, around Glastonbury time, if you know any promoters

(My love for mrsb has meant I’ve got tickets for Dadi Freyr in a couple of weeks time)

 

[Numbers]

I think the Spanish effort would be better if it was just the 3 women, like Beyoncé’s Single Ladies video.

Great tho’.

 

[Numbers]

I’ve paused it. Ukraine up next and although I know they won I’ve never actually watched / heard their song.

The Dutch peoples reminded me of my nieces and one of my oldest pals.

I hope the Dutch win.

Fingers crossed for you and your niece/oldest pal!

It’s so exciting.

Loved the dancer, reminded me of Toots, Bez and Flavour Flav all in one.

His carpet outfit freaked me out.

What really annoyed me was the hat on the rapper fella.

 

[scifisam]

I'm very glad that the Ukraine won with a song that is actually also a really good song.

Moldova, Norway, Lithuania and France should all have got more votes. Norway is the only one where it was the performance than the music that I liked more.

Such a good Eurovision. In retrospect I can even forgive the presenters with their... long... delays... announcing.. we have the votes... there are... these are the votes... the votes are... When it was actually making them wait to be told they got something like two votes. I was practically throwing things at the TV on behalf of the poor failures being made to wait and hope.

 

[strung out]

Here's a cool graphic explaining the cultural importance of what the Ukrainians wore.

 

[Numbers]

Quick pause. I’m about to watch the UK entry for the first time.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Don't get too invested, we all know other countries don't for us any more, 'cause of 'politics'

The where trolling us into us wining and then have to put it on next year.

I definitely want a Sequinned Jumpsuit.

Brilliant.

You should get one.

Ooh, Estonian Cowboy - I like.

The Mayor of Munchkinland in the productive of "Wizard of Oz" I was recently in was given a bit watch/clock face to wear so I christened him Flavour Flav much to the bemusement of the rest of the cast.

I felt old. But cool.

We may well do it anyhow!
I know Ukraine will move heaven and earth to try and stage it, but if they can't the only reasonable alternatives are the UK (as second place winner, with a rather robust ability to pull it off), or Poland (as Ukraine's closest friends and neighbours and now home to several million Ukrainians).

I've just realised who it is Same Ryder reminds me of. Mr Peanut Butter.

Great minds - that's who I've compared him to as well.
