Their voices do not sound good together.

Or apart.

 

[Christian]

If this had more than 20 minutes rehearsal, I'd be surprised

[RS]

I want this shit to end so that I could re-watch Romania

 

[straightorbroken]

Funny that

Was it Sting? What a choice if so.

 

[dmlaw]

I’m getting another drink with SOME URGENCY.

 

[straightorbroken]

The bored look of that audience girl with the long curly hair

 

[Lucille]

Heinous.

 

[Kratz]

I BELIEVE, I AM OFF KEY

 

[straightorbroken]

Now push him off stage Laura!

 

[lolly]

Sorry, why did they do 'Fragile'?

 

[FetchFugly]

Yeah absolutely.

 

[ButterTart]

What in the risen fuck was that song pls

 

[AGinAg (37)]

HOLA MI BEBEBEBE

 

[RS]

I’m now actively hating Israel. Awful song

 

[ButterTart]

I have a feeling most of Tuesday's qualifiers would have been eaten alive if they'd been in this line-up.

 

[straightorbroken]

If San Marino had actually stripped they would have been sure-shots for the final.

 

[Lucille]

Really hope Australia is sunk by the two straight boys doing better ballads who probably would’ve bullied him in school.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I'm still thinking about the camera sabotage. I mean she's safe as houses but what a way to piss on a solid performance.

 

[COB]

Going to try and phone vote for Ireland (from Turin), can someone post the number? We're watching the Italian feed and they aren't showing any numbers, never mind ones I could use

 

[straightorbroken]

Romanian pretend bear bareback power bottom was a nice surprise.

 

[RS]

Cyprus gets even better with every recap, and Ireland too.

 

[Lucille]

Gays will be moaning about this for DECADES TO COME!

 

[Christian]

It was

Try the app, it links to phone numbers

 

[straightorbroken]

Sweden have grown on me. Take it back about the festival.

Off the top of my head, that's the same top 10 as ours bar Belgium (in a different order)

OLDER GAYS SYNCING!

Kind of wish he'd done a Madonna in that cape

Did Italy not vote on Tuesday?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

If Ireland don't qualify it's going to feel personal.

 

[straightorbroken]

I'm guessing that's not a costume change, rather throwing Mika in bleach simply didn't work.

 

[COB]

Aw, I'm too late

 

[COB]

Did Italy not vote on Tuesday?

They did, but I hoped it might work from a UK number. It probably wouldn't have, thinking more about it!

 

[ButterTart]

That Laura looks like Head from Art Attack going to a Halloween party as Bebe Neuwirth.

 

[straightorbroken]

You know I wouldn't have minded perving on that silver fox Eros something. Should have swapped him with Mika.

 

[GNL]

EUROPE!

AUSTRALIA!

Azerbaijan, Israel and Georgia:

 

[ButterTart]

Rock version of Grande Amore? For that reason, I’m in.

 

[straightorbroken]

This looks like one of those 90s shows you see when you tubing Cher performing on Italian TV, not that I've done that.

 

[dmlaw]

Rock version of Grande Amore? For that reason, I’m in.

It was a deserving winner of Eurovision 2015, wasn’t it.
