[octophone]

This is so generically shit I can't even find anything to say.

Oh, shit key change!

The vocals are rotten.

 

[Penelope]

OMG WORST KEY CHANGE EVER

 

[ButterTart]

Germany has knocked Albania into third. Israel remains the fittest performer of the evening.

 

[octophone]

Jessica Garlick treating her husband to something a bit naughty from the Ann Summers collection for their anniversary.

You're taking liberties with the word "treat" there.

Fuck me THANK GOD FOR MARTIN VUCIC

 

[dmlaw]

What horrid vocals. But, yeah, fit performer.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

UKRAINIAN PEOPLE.

Honestly who gives a fuck?

 

[D5K]

Oh no. He said Croatia and I thought it was Call Me

 

[Madison]

This man is reassuringly tall and sensible.

 

[octophone]

Bagpipes, mimed percussion.

*drink*
*drink*

 

[ButterTart]

For God's sake, where the fuck are Vanilla Ninja?

 

[Penelope]

Oh forgive me but I'm a total sucker for this brooding Balkan nonsense

 

[Beverley]

Did we like this back in the day?

 

[Beverley]

I like his face

 

[octophone]

His tie gives this the air of a badly pitched best man's speech.

 

[D5K]

Oh no. He said Croatia and I thought it was Call Me

Oh hang on, did they jump countries?

 

[Penelope]

Also I'd probably shove it up Boris after a sensible 2020s haircut/beard growth

I like the backing vocalists.

Ans the tambourine and tie dye tank.

 

[lolly]

I can only imagine the electricity bill run up by hair straighteners this year

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh fuck I kinda remember this fairground nonsense.

 

[Penelope]

Oh hang on, did they jump countries?

Bosnia

 

[Dark Carnival]

Meh

 

[Madison]

Does this song need drums?
And why does the drummer need a wind machine?

 

[octophone]

He, the backing singers and the drummer clearly had a stylist each.

 

[lolly]

This man is reassuringly tall and sensible.

I'd prefer it if he was flying my plane rather than singing to me, though.

 

[D5K]

Does this song need drums?
And why does the drummer need a wind machine?

They must be monitors

 

[VoR]

I really like this Croatian one y'know.

 

[Generic Account]

THAT Key Change x10000

 

[ButterTart]

I think Jacob Rees-Mogg is this guy's ghost. The dress and lanky gait are bob-on.

 

[octophone]

Does this song need drums?
And why does the drummer need a wind machine?

It's not a wind machine, it's a fucking monitor! So he can mime in time to the music correctly!

 

[Generic Account]

Loved croatia

[Penelope]

Sadly he has not grown a sensible 2020s beard

Does this song need drums?
And why does the drummer need a wind machine?

Of COURSE IT DOES and OF COURSE IT DOES

 

[AGinAg (37)]

2005 style doesn't really a definition beyond 'any raggedy old shit'.

 

[dmlaw]

I think this guy might be my second favourite drummer of the night, after granny. He's really getting into it.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Ooooh is this the winner?!

 

[Madison]

It's not a wind machine, it's a fucking monitor! So he can mime in time to the music correctly!

Sorry!

Does this predate earpieces?

 

[Beverley]

IS TIME!!!!
