Yipchaa!
Ok, Iceland might genuinely be the biggest curve ball for me this evening.
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
It's just so out of keeping with the other songs, even the slow ones.
It's soooooooooo mellow!

While everyone else is doing party drugs or drinking heavily to forget, Iceland are just chilling in their converted loft space.

Yipchaa!
Norway currently skirting that uncanny valley where I can't tell if they're too self-consciously 'weird' or not 
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
Haaaaaaaaang on, that whole thing was done out of the sight of the audience??!
Hmmmmmm, I say, I say hmmmmmmm....

Oh I suspect they're the kind of festival goers who could give you some decent stuff.

Yipchaa!
I mean, I am well outside my frame of reference even talking about alcohol...

I'm just quite impressed they managed to find something different, in a world of different.
I'm also still not entirely convinced they aren't actually genuine time travellers from the 60s
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
Children?? Was Robert Miles Italian..?

Ok, got a little chill when the home Eurovision audience started singing along with the guy who didn't get to perform two years ago... 
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
This ain't fookin' bad at all!

That song became an anthem during lockdown. The lyrics speak of making noise in your lowest moments and people would sing it through the deserted streets across Italy. It's become a very important, emotional anthem. He deserves his time on the stage.
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
Ah, righto.
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
Ohhh, wait, was it in one of those vids where apartment blocks were singing it to each other?

So if Ukraine doesn't get through then Russia will be accused of rigging the voting somehow.

Some interesting post-mortem to be had about those results. Almost all the sad, introspective, slower songs qualifying; almost all the upbeat, sillier, danceable songs out. Saturday night is going to be very, very different to peoples expectations.

Fuck me.
I listened to the UK entry today. I actually cried. What a beautiful song. Elements of Mika, Freddie Mercury, Elton John, and David Bowie. Key changes that are reminiscent of the best of the 1970s songs. It's just fucking stunning.
And really prescient and relevant lyrics

Interesting decision to start the second SF with a bid to be the next Bond, but you shoot your shot, dude.
Definitely what we would call a "fresh new take", I think.

Woah.
Yellow. Just, suuuuuuuuuuuuuper yellow.
Ah, they look like a lemon and raspberry sorbet
