Eurovision 2022

[Epona]

WTF am I watching here?

(Serbian entry)

 

[wtfftw]

I'm too high for serbia

 

[Lord Camomile]

Yes, yes, yes.

Absolutely loving Vera Farmiga's entry for Serbia.

This is great.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ooh, they're doing the mirror image/shadow thing from a few years back.

That guy's shadow was in a box, though

 

[Epona]

I'm too high for serbia

I feel like I ought to be high for tonight's show

 

[Lord Camomile]

The costumes/staging are fun 'n' all that, but this has got a proper beat to it

 

[tommers]

This is Eurovision.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Kinda reminds me of the early-mid 00s, sort of The Coral mixed with... something else.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Yeah, so far I think I want this SF to win more than Tuesdays.

 

[Lord Camomile]

So many countries have their national song contest to pick their Eurovision song, why'd we stop?

Wait, was it Daz...?

 

[Epona]

So much tonight is brilliant

 

[Lord Camomile]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang on.....

Mechanical bull???!

 

[Lord Camomile]

UPHOLSTERED mechanical bull?!?!

 

[Lord Camomile]

So much tonight is brilliant

I feel like this isn't the first time one SF has been more stacked than the other

(According to my opinion, obviously...)

 

[tommers]

I've beaten this guy in Elden Ring.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I've beaten this guy in Elden Ring.

I was trying to work out what pop culture his outfit was from. I thought it was maybe 300

 

[Lord Camomile]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang on.....

Mechanical bull???!

I've just realised "hang on" was an accidental pun, and I'm retroactively claiming it

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ok, am I missing something or is there a trend of... I don't know what you'd call it, but singing a melody over a minimal backing track that seems to be on a completely different melody?

Counterpoint, or something? But, like, suuuuuuper minimalist.

 

[Lord Camomile]

This seems quite different from Ireland's usual stuff. Seems far more like the sort of thing that would come from Eastern/South Eastern Europe.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Christ, she seemed disgusted by the very idea of circles! Just totally done with them!

 

[Chz]

I was trying to work out what pop culture his outfit was from. I thought it was maybe 300

My first thought was "Burn the bene gesserit witch!"

 

[Lord Camomile]

Serbia, Georgia, San Marino, Ireland, Montenegro, Romania and Czech Rep got my votes.

Some more than once

A couple more than twice

 

[Epona]

Well that was quite rousing! (People Have The Power)

 

[Aladdin]

Not watching it.

At all


As an Irish person I do not want Ireland to win. It would only bankrupt the country.

 

[Indeliblelink]

Went for Czech Rep but I missed the first 6 songs. Romania was OK too.

 

[wtfftw]

Which one was obviously losing her mind over a toddler leap? North Macedonia

 

[Lord Camomile]

Serbia, Georgia, San Marino, Ireland, Montenegro, Romania and Czech Rep got my votes.

Some more than once

A couple more than twice

Glad Serbia finally got through, they were def my favourites, but frustrated about Georgia in particular.

Once again, if you don't watch the SFs, you miss some of the best acts.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Whoops

 

[PR1Berske]

San Marino gave us bisexual glamrock with a velvetine bull and that wasn't enough

 

[PR1Berske]

I said earlier in this thread that this year's Contest is the most downbeat, serious, ballad-heavy in years. If you've watched both semis this week, you'll know the zanier, sillier, "typical Eurovision" songs that have been sacrificed.
