I like Armenia. A lot.
Not sure I should have turned off mute though.
This is one of the best songs about apricots that I’ve ever heard.
To be fair, fruit-based songs have historically been underrepresented at Eurovision.
Is that Jackie Chan dancing?
Armenia’s staging has been brought to you by David Lynch.
Armenia has it all- boobs, an outfit overly reliant on chiffon and faux pearls, bad lyrics, OTT patriotism, an old man playing a traditional flute, interpretive dance and awesomely literal stage props.
This HAS to win.
Thank you, Germany, for these lyrics. “I even bought some underwear that’s blue”.
Where did this woman learn English? It’s like Australian with a German accent.
Germany’s singer apparently learned English by listening to Bjork. That is one weird accent.
Is she shifting accents?
Ok my favourite thing so far was the Russian singer’s “photograph”
Move over Armenia - you’ve been surpassed!
A German simultaneously channelling Bjork and Lily Allen.
Just what the world needs.
Hey! Lay off Lena’s accent! It’s a good song and she sings it just fine, so back off, people!
Please let this be the year Germany doesn’t end up in the bottom 5, please let this be the year Germany doesn’t end up in the bottom 5 …
I predict a dramatic key change in Portugal’s future. Oops, there it is.
Did they steal this song from a musical somewhere?
Something is being seriously lost in translation here. Otherwise a surprisingly decent power ballad from Israel.
ETA: Until the singer herniated himself, that is.
Isreal: Sounds more guttural than Dutch and that’s saying a lot
Denmark: The Police meets Abba meets David Copperfield.
Every breath you take
Every step you take
Isreal- several bum notes, and not the prettiest language for a ballad, but by far the best looking male act of the night (unless you’re counting the Greek “and friends”).
Looks more like Nigel Lythgoe to me
FYI: Spain is apparently going to get another chance, thanks to a stage-jumping asshole interrupting their act.
