Eurovision

[asterix]

Have they finished yet?

They had my eyelids tapping

unless there is a more nutty troupe to come in the last few songs...but I doubt it

Ian, I'm struggling to think of a more nutty concept than the Moldovans.

But then I remember Lordi, and in the same year the Albanian entry, four men who stomped about the stage in Doc Martens, shouting "We are the winners, vote for the winners, of Eurovision"

Aha.. Lordi.. As soon as I saw that I said to Mrs Ian they they are the winners.

Ukraine should win for having live sand art.

It was very clever but I'm sure I've seen it before somewhere.

I'm finding the standard of this year's tunes to be impressive tbh. I've never been a regular watcher of Eurovision but I was always lead to believe (and from what I had seen, didn't have reason to disagree!) that there's a fair amount of, um, 'could do better'.

The French commentators keep remarking on the number of songs in English. I'm beginning to wonder if it's actually pissing them off! Thought the French entry was pretty naff btw... and I've been reading (here) that it's regarded as a favourite.

wow! swinging 60s tastic!!

Bloody hell.. that backdrop is trippy

It's doing my head in as I always found it entertaining listening to the different languages. Especially as I'm the typical pig-ignorant Englishman who can't speak another language.

Kind of expecting Austin Powers to appear on stage with Serbia.

Any chance of a description of the Moldovan effort please?

Erm, Red Hot Chilli Peppers with gnome/cone hats, trumpets and and an angelic cone-hatted girly onna unicycle.


How did I do, folks?

 

[ianrauk]

Actually, here they are

 

[yello]

I shouldn't have said that... Georgia's effort is dire
