[octophone]

Wow, it's rare for someone to have such a great singing voice post-transition. Lucky cow.

 

[win_the_game]

I swear I've seen nighclubs full of gay men doing that fist-dance.

[Tisch]

Is she saying NO MORE SCRUPLES?

 

[Penelope]

A bad dress joke is not the same as mocking the disabled as default.

Ladies can we just get pissed and accept that ANYTHING GOES, it's EUROVISION

 

[Madison]

One of the backing singers is Gisela

 

[AGinAg (37)]

True fact, I watched a preview of all these songs with Pam Ann (RIP).

 

[OutSynk]

09 Spain

GET OUT

 

[octophone]

[Alla]

Here comes Spain, what defamatory dirt has @Alla got on this one?

Gisela, background vocalist for Rosa, who represented Andorra years later, is part of a selected list of artists who performed in both Eurovision and the Oscars.

[Suomi]

A Depeche Mode tribute band, dressed as Darth Vader singing like asthmatic labradors. Fucking hell.

It was the sound of both the future AND the past. Sang a ballad version at my friend’s funeral

 

[D5K]

Ah Ceefax

 

[dmlaw]

I swear I've seen nighclubs full of gay men doing that fist-dance.

I thought they generally waited until they had left the nightclub and were in the taxi before doing the 'fist dance'.

 

[ButterTart]

The lyrics say 'Europe's living a celebration'

The hard face says 'We're not leaving a tip, Derek. Start the car while I have a chat with the manager.'

 

[Tisch]

I have no idea what to give that. It was a 04 and a 12 ALL AT ONCE

 

[Alla]

When is the blind woman perfoming? Get those jokes ready, David5k

 

[OutSynk]

[Lucille]

Is this a SULTRY GEM

 

[win_the_game]

Love this mid-tempo Balkan nonsense

 

[lolly]

What lovely eye shadow

 

[Penelope]

Spoiler: this song is about the concept of a Greater Croatia. Vesna did not get everything she wants

 

[Suomi]

This Croatian one is like live footage of Dark Carnival and Lucille emerging from their bedrooms, still slightly pissed and horny at 11am

 

[Dark Carnival]

Oh that was going well until the chorus

 

[Alla]

Oh I know this one! Love it

 

[AGinAg (37)]

CROAKY

 

[D5K]

Can the backing singers please just decide on a key and stick to it?

 

[Lucille]

Is this a SULTRY GEM

NO!

 

[lolly]

I like how quickly she went into full slut mode

 

[Tisch]

Based her look and her vocal timbre on Victoria Beckham. WISE.

 

[Penelope]

What LOVELY GREASY 00s HAIR!

 

[ButterTart]

Quite fit. Best of the night since I made the tragic discovery that Jessica Garlick had actually started to melt by this point.
