Look, Bosnia & Herzegovina, the rules are that you have to either be good or laughable. Boring don’t cut it in the Eurovision. ---

\*What \* did the Moldovan singer do to piss off her hairstylist? At the least, she must have poisoned her cat. ---

Also, if there’s any look hotter than a lime green dirndl with purple boots, I don’t want to know about it. ---

> [@ruadh](#): > > Where’s **Kyla**? Some stupid country where they don’t know what Eurovision is. SRSLY. How can anyone not know about the GREATEST CULTURAL EVENT OF THE YEAR, PEOPLE? I can’t figure out the time zone difference. Is it going on right now? I went to the website and tried to WATCH IT LIVE! but all I’m seeing are youtube links to the dress rehearsal. ---

It’s live and in living color! Right now, Estonia is blowing away much of the previous competition. ---

That’s just silly and very funny. There’s a Ronan clone on stage. Just sing the song and be done with it FFS. ---
