Eurovision 2022

[Lord Camomile]

Think this is another one to be unfairly suffering because it's high energy.

Well, ish. It actually feels a little muted compared to last time.

 

[ElizabethofYork]

Nice performance, Romania, but song is a bit crap.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Did they run out of wool for those tank tops?

Meanwhile, the main bloke gets two tops!

 

[Me76]

Mika is very tall!!

Me and the OH were surprised by that too. I always thought he was a short arse.

I am scoring the songs, costumes and performance.

 

[May Kasahara]

That was superlatively gay, well done Romania The shiny torsos and cut out velveteen catsuits were just fabulous.

 

[weepiper]

Is it mandatory body glitter gel tonight

 

[Lord Camomile]

I know the singing circle will be controversial, but in a surprising twist I've actually come down on the side of "I like it".

 

[A380]

Meanwhile, the main bloke gets two tops!

Channeling Bucks Fizz there.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

This is a bit dull

 

[May Kasahara]

Is it mandatory body glitter gel tonight

I should bloody well hope so.

 

[weltweit]

I wonder how many of the acts tonight will be singing in English?

 

[Indeliblelink]

I like the Portugal song but not sure it's very Eurovision.

 

[Epona]

Not feeling it for the dirgy Portuguese entry

 

[Mrs Miggins]

It's lovely and everything but dull...

 

[Lord Camomile]

I know the singing circle will be controversial, but in a surprising twist I've actually come down on the side of "I like it".

Hm, although what I like about it is undermined by the fact there's clearly a 'lead'. Clearly didn't pay attention last time, but thought it was more a group effort.

 

[ginger_syn]

Portugals song is very pleasant,

 

[weepiper]

Bit Enya.

 

[weltweit]

I wonder how many of the acts tonight will be singing in English?

Haven't they got languages of their own!

 

[May Kasahara]

I like the Portugal song but not sure it's very Eurovision.

Yes, same.

Mr K has just said "it's a bit like listening to Marlon Brando singing"

 

[Lord Camomile]

It's lovely and everything but dull...

It's a metaphor. The world could do with a bit of "lovely, but dull" right now

 

[ElizabethofYork]

It's lovely and everything but dull...

It's a lovely song but not very Eurovision.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I wonder how many of the acts tonight will be singing in English?

Quite a few, if I remember from the SFs. Certainly felt like a lot more than the days when pretty much everyone was singing in English.

Except France, obviously.

 

[Epona]

Bit Enya.

Yeah that's what I thought too, channelling Enya (too) hard.

 

[skyscraper101]

I remember the Rasmus. That song. Constantly being played by XFM around 2003? ish

This is pretty generic tbh

 

[Epona]

He's got to be sweating like a pig in that Sou'wester

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Mr. QofG's: "Quite Final Countdown"
Me: "And that's no bad thing!"

 

[ginger_syn]

To much yellow and a run of the mill song, not keen on this.

 

[A380]

Shirt loss obviously a thing.

 

[May Kasahara]

Mr K: "this is about as metal as Rick Astley! 'Medium rock' would be a better description."

 

[Numbers]

Loving it so far.
