Eurovision 2015

[gbb]

Its one of those programmes I'll happily watch, just to take the wee out of it, particually to wind the wife up.
That said, some of the entries are pretty good. UKs was very 1920s with a modern twist. Likeable, different but not a winner.

Broadband, laptops/smartphones/tablets and headphones have been designed to enable you to escape from such nightmares!

I've started down an older more traditional route of escapism

I may even find myself enjoying it before the end. Possibly.

Downing a Kraken is possibly preferable to Kraken up. But I wouldn't bet on it.

Good pitching and harmonies from the Norwegian entry. Estonia and UK had intonation problems at the bottom end of the men's ranges. As they were next to each other, I wonder whether there was a problem with the foldback which has since been sorted.

Saw the UK entry on some TV show during the last week and he was having the same problems then. I'm thinking the main problem is he isn't that good.

Can we have a "groan" button as well as the "like" one?

Totally OT...

There is a band called Alestorm who recorded "Wolves of the Sea"

Note the disclaimer that refers to this....

Apparently they are different bands... despite the atribution

Reckon the Belgian guy has escaped from a secure facility somewhere for this.

You're way off. Belgium absolutely smashed it. Good song and a great performance

Which of course means they have no chance

I liked that Belgian effort. And the aussie one. And this Austrian one. The standard is a lot... FIRE!

 

[Saluki]

This Austrian lot sound pretty good. The Swedish staging was awesome.
We watch it every year, sad but true. Then again, everyone is allowed a few guilty pleasures.
