A Song For Moopy: Worldvision. STUNNING SEMI 1, rewatch gala Sun 1st Aug @ 7:15

[Kate]

Here for loopy Icelanders.

 

[ButterTart]

I'm sorry but whatever she does I will never forgive her for doing a drippy version of Fairytale of New York AND a drippy version of Just Like Heaven.

Ronan Keating set the benchmark for drippy versions of FONY.

 

[ButterTart]

I just don't understand how Iceland has so many musicians. There's only about 40 people living there!

 

[Kate]

They remind me a bit of Architecture in Helsinki, who were of course not Icelandic but Australian.

 

[ButterTart]

12. Tunisia – Latifa - Maktoobli (My Destiny)

 

[ButterTart]

I love this Tunisian custom of laminating their female singers to lock in their freshness.

 

[RJN]

I'm glad this one has. subtitles on, because the way they're written really adds to the drama of it

 

[RJN]

I will not let your eyes sleep!
You will stay up all night!

It was my destiny to love you...
and to live in agony with you!

 

[ButterTart]

Sooner or later you will live with the exact agony I've been through

 

[ButterTart]

All said with a sassy attempt at a smile on her vacuum formed face.

 

[RJN]

Sooner or later you will live with the exact agony I've been through

Its kind of the same message as Cry Me a River

 

[RJN]

5 seconds in, I think @COB sent Adam Copies

 

[ButterTart]

13. Canada – Baths - Adam Copies

 

[ButterTart]

I have such a great fact about this one but I'm not revealing it until after the poster reveal.

 

[Lucille]

I will not let your eyes sleep!
You will stay up all night!

It was my destiny to love you...
and to live in agony with you!

RELATABLE!

 

[Kate]

5 seconds in, I think @COB sent Adam Copies

This was the general opinion at the time.

 

[RJN]

I have such a great fact about this one but I'm not revealing it until after the poster reveal.

Baths is @vespertine?

 

[ButterTart]

Baths is @vespertine?

Yes but don't tell anyone, I want the other songs to stand a chance.

 

[Kate]

I've had to remind myself again that Baths is the artist.

 

[ButterTart]

I've had to remind myself again that Baths is the artist.

Right? I kept rechecking it because I thought I'd got it arse about face at first.

 

[RJN]

I didn't know Sweden had a music industry

 

[ButterTart]

I didn't know Sweden had a music industry

Very small, most of their famous artists are elderly women.

 

[ButterTart]

14. Sweden - The Dark Element - Songs the Night Sings

 

[Lucille]

I've had to remind myself again that Baths is the artist.

It’s the artist name, not what you SHIT IN.

 

[ButterTart]

Obviously this is the one that caused me to exceed my weekly disco emoji quota.

 

[Kate]

Oh yes I liked this of course

 

[RJN]

Very small, most of their famous artists are elderly women.

are any of them still young?

 

[RJN]

I love when rock songs are actually just pop songs in disguise

 

[ButterTart]

are any of them still young?

Only the newer parts of their faces

 

[ButterTart]

I love when rock songs are actually just pop songs in disguise

Basically every Scandinavian metal song.

 

[ButterTart]

The lead singer really does remind me so much of Sarah Alexander off Coupling.

 

[ButterTart]

15. South Korea - Brown Eyed Girls - Abracadabra

 

[Kate]

The lead singer really does remind me so much of Sarah Alexander off Coupling.

Except noticeably less blonde and with a different face.

 

[ButterTart]

Except noticeably less blonde and with a different face.

The eyes and cheekbones are spot on, I think.

 

[Kate]

Oh I quite enjoyed the Korean sluts last time, let's see how we go.

 

[RJN]

I always like Kpop when I hear it, but then I can never remember which one is which

 

[ButterTart]

Oh I quite enjoyed the Korean sluts last time, let's see how we go.

@Diddy said this is everything you want from a South Korean song and I tend to agree. Slaggy bops by a girl band with just over seventy members - who could ask for more?

 

[ButterTart]

16. Armenia – Deradoorian - It Was Me

 

[Kate]

Yes still liking this. It's been a pretty good run since old Arsechin.

 

[ButterTart]

Deradoorian honest to a fault when asked who didn't know how to flush a toilet after they'd had a SHET.
