[ButterTart]

This year really was front-loaded wasn’t it?

There were quite a few tits, aye.

 

[VoR]

FUCKING FINALLY

 

[octophone]

It's a really ropey Spice Girls. It's the Spice Girls.

One more like that and you're banned.

 

[lolly]

The Sporty one looks AWKWARD AS HELL. Almost as if she's never performed on a stage before.

Don't be silly, only the UK does that

 

[Lucille]

When the fuck are we on!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

When the fuck are we on!

next!

 

[Madison]

The stage looks like it was built by Cardassians. Which is a good thing.

 

[octophone]

Right now for the YouTube comments...

 

[ButterTart]

Here she is, everyone else go home.

 

[Tisch]

FUCKING FINALLY

 

[Alla]

When the fuck are we on!

When the gays lose they shit screaming during the postcard.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Fun fact: I KNOW of this entry but I've NEVER heard it!

 

[octophone]

"Yong Pop - UP THE RA"

 

[Lucille]

I don’t think I ever actually saw this live. It was MASSIVE though wasn’t it?

 

[Alla]

And that's now

 

[D5K]

I had no idea how much the running order helped us.

 

[ButterTart]

What a fucking OBVIOUS winner.

 

[Madison]

FACT: Her jacket is missing a shoulder pad.

 

[win_the_game]

Given the shower of shit we've just endured, I suspect this will do very well.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

She really does BRING IT.

 

[D5K]

Was this the clear favourite going into it?

 

[dmlaw]

Almost certainly the last really fantastic UK entry. Ever.

 

[octophone]

"Roman Kahnwald: Sorry UK zero"

Read the fucking room, Roman.

 

[Soldi]

I have to admit this is MAGNIFICENT

 

[Tisch]

She really does BRING IT.

Totally

 

[Alla]

I fucking love this.

 

[ButterTart]

Before you ask - yes, I've already done an Insta search for this Katrina woman. Looking well.

 

[COB]

I've never seen the performance, what a fantastic power lesbian look she's brought to the party.

 

[lolly]

Yet again, a lesbian showing thousands of clueless gays the way

 

[octophone]

"Roman Kahnwald: Dinle is a way better"

Daft cunt.

 

[ButterTart]

Was IMAANI her backing singer or was that just a different black woman?

 

[octophone]

Suit jacket, wing collar - horrific time to live through.

 

[lolly]

it really is a textbook example of how to achieve ANTHEMIC in three minutes

 

[Dark Carnival]

Gillian Anderson anyone?

 

[Beverley]

YAS

 

[Madison]

Was IMAANI her backing singer or was that just a different black woman?

She's called Beverley Skeete.

 

[win_the_game]

Was IMAANI her backing singer or was that just a different black woman?

ButterTart: "ALL BLACK PEOPLE LOOK THE SAME"

 

[octophone]

Audience actually properly into that.

 

[Beverley]

So this is what it feels like to be a patriot.
