Eurovision Song Celebration 2020 - Part One - Streaming live Tonight 8 p.m.

[Lucille]

There’s a good song in here SOMEWHERE.

 

[D5K]

Most of them are sounding better tonight than they did when I was listening for Moopyvision. I think this year might have turned out OK.

For me they’re definitely not, but I’ve listened to the songs and watched the videos so often over the last few weeks I can’t get at all excited about this. At least Saturday night will have something new!

 

[ButterTart]

Hey remember when we entered that sub-Bond theme two years ago and we didn't qualify? Let's do that again

Belgium haven't sent a song I truly enjoyed since 2013.

 

[Zu]

Which Portishead song is this a rewrite of?

 

[Penelope]

Belgium haven't sent a song I truly enjoyed since 2013.

That sounds like more of a you problem

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I quite like the Belgian entry.

SUBTLE

 

[Penelope]

Which Portishead song is this a rewrite of?

NOT Machine Gun

 

[Raining on Me]

Why do Belgium seem to get it so right but then go RIGHT OFF TRACK, all in the SAME SONG? They seem to get the right ingredients, celebrate and then forget that the song has to actually be GOOD

 

[AGinAg (37)]

For me they’re definitely not, but I’ve listened to the songs and watched the videos so often over the last few weeks I can’t get at all excited about this. At least Saturday night will have something new!

Will it?

 

[Lucille]

It’s interesting hearing the ends of songs I’ve shut off after a minute twenty.

 

[dmlaw]

Which Portishead song is this a rewrite of?

None of them. It's neither sonically nor vocally interesting enough.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Sadly Belgium wouldn't have qualified.

 

[Zu]

Oh I’m liking the Belgian drummer

You can tell how much attention I’ve ACTUALLY paid to these videos before now

I wish we’d got a live performance for this one.

 

[Penelope]

Oh this bitch is DEFINITELY Chiara in disguise

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Different yes, better god knows.

Do we know the format?

 

[dmlaw]

I hate the deep voiced bits at the start of Malta SO MUCH.

 

[Zu]

None of them. It's neither sonically nor vocally interesting enough.

It doesn’t have to be INTERESTING to be a rewrite

 

[Alla]

Why the hell don't they send an edited version of the video for this with just the song? EBU can't even get that?

[D5K]

Why the hell don't they send an edited version of the video for this with just the song? EBU can't even get that?

They really should only play the first three minutes of each video for fairness

 

[Beverley]

Oh I do like lil Destiny

 

[Soldi]

Ooh MALTA, how BEIGE

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Maybe I'd like this more if I'd watched X Factor Malta.

 

[Penelope]

I think this would've had a big chance of winning the jury vote, given Malta's habit of bunging laundered Azeri oil cheques to jurors left right and centre each year.

 

[Lucille]

Ooh MALTA, how BEIGE

I mean yes, but I think she would’ve sold the hell out of it on stage.

 

[Raining on Me]

Malta wants to be bigger than it is (the song, not her clearly) but it just doesn't quite manage it. I assume she would have knocked it out of the park however
