Eurovision: Come Together (BBC) (16 May 2020)

[Madison]

I do miss those Moscow / Oslo stages

Oslo? They just hung up some beads.

 

[ButterTart]

That’s neither fun nor a fact.

Oh come on! It’s the sort of ten-a-penny Bond theme that’s padded out the semis for the past few years, not objectively bad, just purely won on visuals.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

This song would be much better if they bothered to write a second verse worth of lyrics.

 

[Beverley]

Fun Fact: My school choir sang this at our Christmas concert when I was 11

 

[Beverley]

Oslo? They just hung up some beads.

Wasn't it bombastic too?

 

[Raining on Me]

God there is a bit in Fairytale after the second chorus and he intensely plays the violin looking straight down the camera that always gets me a bit

YES I KNOW, I'M DISGUSTING

Oh I hear you. I feel like someone should call the police every time I think it.

Still a HORRIBLE LITTLE CUNT, though. Yet obvious why it won.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

We can vote THREE TIMES GUYS

 

[FetchFugly]

Old Katrina gets the pimp slot.

The green blouse obviously sticks in the mind, but those wipe clean trousers...

 

[Jacques]

Seeing Rybak made me realise that perhaps Iceland would have won tonight. I see a few parallels - a Nordic country, a vastly overrated song that I don't 'get' and both sung by a smug bastard

 

[Tisch]

Teh "shine a light to light the way" is CLUNKY. But otherwise this is so good. And will now be stuck in my head forever again.

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

I remember the three year old me absolutely FUMING AND BAFFLED that Love Shine A Light beat You Stayed Away Too Long in Song For Europe

LITTLE DID I KNOW!

As it goes, I quite like LSAL now after years of hating on it. It has a certain CHEESY APPEAL

 

[Zu]

Oh come on! It’s the sort of ten-a-penny Bond theme that’s padded out the semis for the past few years, not objectively bad, just purely won on visuals.

The first bite is ALWAYS WITH THE EYE

[Zu]

To my surprise, my favourite of that lot on this here evening is EASILY CONCHITA

Euphoria and Verka a VERY CLOSE SECOND (and third)

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I've voted for Euphoria, Waterloo and Diva

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Oh I hear you. I feel like someone should call the police every time I think it.

Still a HORRIBLE LITTLE CUNT, though. Yet obvious why it won.

It's only THAT BIT that I find him attractive though After the first chorus where he's rolling around like a DRUNK UNIVERSITY STUDENT THAT STUDIES MUSIC he really does not a jot

 

[lolly]

Are we voting in time honoured way?

 

[Madison]

Oh come on! It’s the sort of ten-a-penny Bond theme that’s padded out the semis for the past few years, not objectively bad, just purely won on visuals.

Pointing to the beard and ignoring the vocal performance is never a good look.

 

[Ellie]

Quite surprised Sandi Shaw never made it to this list.

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Mahmood/Conchita/Dana International for me, because I COULDN'T NOT SUPPORT

SOZ LOREEN

 

[D5K]

Are we voting in time honoured way?

Might as well

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Oh god this is going to win isn't it?

Is Love Shine A Light actually that popular with the UK? It wasn't exactly a ROARING CHART SUCCESS after it's post-contest week at number 3

[Christian]

Picking a Top 3 from this lot is virtually impossible.

It doesn't help that the whole thing is making me all EMOTIONAL and WEEPY.

12 to ALL OF THEM *sobs*

 

[Jacques]

Three votes cast all for LENA

 

[FetchFugly]

They better not follow BBC reality form and just announce the winner without ever revealing the other places. Not very Eurovision.

 

[Tisch]

James taking a break from his BUTTER dinner to chat to Graham!

 

[Madison]

Three votes for Verka.

 

[Zu]

Why is he wearing a TIE?

 

[Beverley]

GAGGED at the suit and that RANCID TIE!

 

[Christian]

I'm voting for Loreen, Dami and Gina.

HEY LADIES
