Some Dopers may recall the hilarity that was last year’s Eurovision thread. As most of the participants are now over at another forum, I enquired on said forum as to whether we would be doing it again. Apparently, judging by the fact that not one person apart from myself is logged in over there at the moment, the answer is no.
So, uh, any other Eurodopers watching it tonight?
Aaaaaah! The hostess is a scary clown lady!
Are we doing this here, or on NADS?
It’s on, but I’m not watching, and I’ll turn it off as soon as I can be bothered to lift my fat ass from this here chair. Not that I don’t want to see it, but Pricegal isn’t at home and I’m recording it so we can watch it together tomorrow.
Yep, we’re geeks alright.
Love the drummer - - bet he uses that “Hey, I’m in a band” as a pickup line all the time.
May as well do it here Gyrate because if any of the non-Dope NADSers want to take part they should have bloody well indicated so in the NADS thread earlier.
I imagine that if I liked Spanish music I would think this Spanish entry was pretty good. But don’t, so don’t.
Observations:
The hosts scare me.
The singer of the Spanish entry needs his head kicking in. As do the dancers.
About the Spanish dancers: Are those even technically dresses?
The Norskie commentator about the Austrian singers: “Looks like they had a bad day at the hair dresser.”
Wow! An Austrian boyband. This is gonna be good*.
*Or fucking awful. I always get those two confused.
It’s good to see that something unites all the countries of Europe: shite boybands who can’t sing in tune. And apparently they can’t shave properly either, judging by the eyebrows.
The spouse notes that if you put up the closed captioning you get an English translation of the words. Which are, unsurprisingly, crap.
Austria had one of my favourite entries last year (the crazy guy singing about chimps and humans and his educational website). Needless to say, that won’t be the case this time around.
What does that boyband’s name translate to in English - The Rentboys?
It’s a singing jacket potato!
Was David Hasselhoff in Norway twenty years ago? I think we’ve found his lovechild.
I see hathead is still all the rage in the Nordic countries.
“I just wanna try holding your heart, bringing you high…”
And who says they don’t write lyrics like they used to?
No matter what the language, nboyband gestures are exactly the same.
Can’t wait for Switzerland.
French women on stilts!
Alumininuminum is one of Norway’s major exports. Most people don’t know that.
But clearly his tailor did.
Ah, now I know why the Norway singer couldn’t do anything with his hair. Obviously the French guy stole all the gel in, like, the whole country.
