Eurovision 2022

[Lord Camomile]

Latvia grew on me a bit. Liked the outfits, and some of the musical arrangement seemed genuinely interesting

 

[PR1Berske]

This Swiss guy truly is singing in slow motion, it's not your TV or stream.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Earnest young lad ballad

Bal-lad.

 

[tommers]

is it over?

 

[tommers]

oh right, Ukraine are going to win.

 

[Lord Camomile]

oh right, Ukraine are going to win.

I was worried it would be purely based on cough , but I actually quite like this. Once again smooshing folk together with a more modern genre.

Still ultimately prefer last year's, but enjoying this too

 

[tommers]

love it. Bit KLF with the weird guys in the witches outfits at the ends.

yeah, last year's was an absolute fucking banger. As I believe the kids would say.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Who are we kidding, they'd post an image of an orange with a Robin Hood hat on and everyone else would be all "TOTALLY!!".

 

[Lord Camomile]

"A rotating supergroup of artists"; ok, ok Bulgaria, I'm listening...

 

[tommers]

 

[Lord Camomile]

Doooooooes the lead singer rotate out, at any point?

Asking for a... continent.

 

[Lord Camomile]

This song sounds like it escaped from a CD you'd buy in a petrol station.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Netherlands once again resolutely refusing to do Eurovision

 

[Plumdaff]

Netherlands once again resolutely refusing to do Eurovision

My daughter likes it. Very much in the tweenage misery pop wheelhouse.

 

[tommers]

oh right. Finally.

 

[tommers]

morris & the minors with a fiddle and an accordion

 

[Lord Camomile]

"Oh, god, dad-rock tries hip-hop... waaaaaaait, WTF??"

 

[Lord Camomile]

"Super Mario's Moldovan bender"

 

[PR1Berske]

Aaah Moldova, the spirit of lost Eurovisions.

 

[PR1Berske]

 

[Lord Camomile]

Iiiiiiiinteresting staging from Portugal.

I want to be snide and cynical about it, but I can't lie, there is some part of me that I don't like to speak about that it speaks to

S'all like "hey, let's just sing to each other, yeah? We're all just part of summat, innit?"

 

[PR1Berske]

Croatia is a bit "We've got Taylor Swift at home"

 

[Lord Camomile]

Croatia is a bit "We've got Taylor Swift at home"

Ha, I was just thinking "this is really demonstrating how out of date my musical references are"

 

[tommers]

Denmark is alright.

 

[Lord Camomile]

The drummer is the only one whose energy is matched by their sound.

With the rest of them, if it was on mute you would not expect what they're actually producing.

Hm, ok, guitar solo brought something, I guess.

 

[tommers]

The Bangles without the dodgy stereotypes.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Felt like they were trying to play something rockier than their usual, but the drummer was finally getting the chance they'd been waiting for.

 

[Indeliblelink]

That suit.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Hey, remember when Flo Rida turned up performing for San Marino? That happened.
