This is ridiculous. I think these days the “big four” are in a private competition to submit the worst song. Germany had that Sinatra thing and now this, we had Scooch and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s upcoming dirge…
Points at shantih
HaHa.
On the other hand, it’s the most effective use of Dita von Teese so far in the competition.
Note to everyone: do not download Eurovision’s plugin. It will make your computer go apeshit.
I guess I have to wait til everything comes up on YouTube now. FML.
Oh well, it’s not like anyone could top the Latvian pirates from last year anyway.
One thing you’ve got to give Germany. They sure woke everyone up.
Sure, Latvian pirates are cool and all, but Turkey may be about to pull away from the rest of the pack through the strategic use of hot pink harem pants.
I want a skirt like the Turkish guy’s.
If I were betting, I’d bet on Turkey for the win. Now watch me get humiliated. Here come Albania, and…
WHAT THE H*** IS UP WITH THE BLUE DUDE??!!?
Just to be clear, I just live here. Particularly after the Silver Pants, I want to emphasize that I’m a Yank.
So, anyone else frightened of the turquoise blue faceless Albanian, or am I alone?
OK, Albania are just showing off.
Shoot, I was so distracted by the blue guy that I didn’t notice the mimes behind him. Brrrrr, mimes.
Okay, now it’s “our” turn… and the Faceless Blue Albanian is gone, thank god.
Albania demonstrating that you can never have too many Gimps in a Eurovision routine.
What’s that? You can?
Eh, someone explain to me why Norway are “one of the favourites”?
flodnak? I’m looking at you.
From a British perspective, I have to say that Graham Norton is doing OK with the slightly daunting job of taking over from Terry Wogan. He’s made me lol a few times, but he’s taking it just seriously enough, like Tel did.
In deference to our flodnak, I’m working on my diplomacy.

Check out the lead guy, he played so spiritedly that he broke all manner of fiddle strings.
Wow, this Ukraine song is exceeding all previous standards of shiteness.
Nice to see the Village People back in action though.
I’d say the fact that most of the other songs stink on ice has a lot to do with it.
The lead guy is Belarussian, which some people think will help break up the Eastern European voting monopoly, fat chance on that but what the hell. And it must be said, the song has vicious earworming properties. And apparently the dancer dudes are supposed to have audience appeal.
But assuming it doesn’t win tonight, I’m looking forward to it disappearing without a trace as soon as possible.
Sorry, everyone.
Apparentally, it’s her time. I like the UK’s singer, although the song isn’t blowing me away and changing my life and point of view.
