Eurovision 2023 News

[GNL]

family-friendly

Vile.

 

[Kala]

I’m less bothered by the music and more bothered by the amount of HUMANS there’ll be about. Honestly all I’m thinking about is the crowds. Not the visitors but all the locals descending onto the city at the same time

I think it’s going to be rammed pretty much wherever you go. Usually the host cities are busy, but it’s never usually detrimental, but I think this year is an exceptional case as interest is higher than it’s probably ever been for a host country.

Exactly. And the U.K. treating it like our triumphant return to Eurovision relevance (which I suppose it is)

It’s one of those times I just want to say to the straights THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT BUT BACK OFF NOW

 

[funky]

The Euroclub is in a nightclub (Camp and Furnace). The EuroFANSClub is also in a nightclub (some other one). The Euro Village is the outdoor thingy on the pier.

I love that everyone will think they’re next to each other and it’s actually a 30 minute walk to the other side of town

But only a 15 minute gay walk.

And I to those who haven’t shown the slightest jot of interest previously

I know what you mean, I’ve been on the Eurovision throne since 1986, but it’s nice to have more followers in our queendom.

I jest of course - I am fully here for the @funky awakening. Erykah Badu hasn't got anything on Nicki French!

 

[funky]

Awakening? I’ll be the biggest useless annoying ‘Eurovision Tourist’ ever.

 

[Soldi]

Oh you’ll be able to hum POLAND 1999 cometh the finale

 

[win_the_game]

I think we should do a rewatch in the run up for funky's benefit.

Maybe Birmingham 1998. I reckon he'd like Gunvor and Our Sacred Lady Dawn Martin of Éire.

 

[Soldi]

Ruth Lorenzo will be the Spanish spokesperson. I’m sure @Alla is thrilled

 

[Alla]

Thrilled that you had the need to tag me, yes

 

[Zu]

Ruth Lorenzo will be the Spanish spokesperson.

What a treat. Are we getting Sandy Alba (sp?) for Finland?

 

[Soldi]

No idea but WHAT A WOMAN

[COB]

Not nice to say but VERY SINISTER EYES.

And a SPITEFUL PINCHED LOOK which my children have NEVER recovered from seeing on the Eurosong

OH THE SCREAMS

Fixed

 

[Zu]

I mean she did her best but it was no Vampires Are Alive or LA COCO-DANCE

 

[Soldi]

They should get Sanna Marin to announce the Finnish votes now she’s out of a job

 

[ILL ADVISED]

State approved act….

 

[Zu]

7 people

STATE-APPROVED? Well if it’s good enough for TVP

 

[Zu]

MELODIYA to set up a new UK label and our 2024 act to be chosen from their roster please. That’ll weed out the SICKENING LEFTY FILTH!

 

[IntoTheDark]

Fixed

¡¿SOY YO?!

 

[Alla]

God enough of that Rula Lenska person

Moopy works terribly bad for me, is there work in progress or something? Never mind

 

[ZenGiraffe]

State approved act….

 

[Lucille]

Politics for you twitter is right-wing op right? 7 people signing a petition is hardly BREAKING NEWS!

I don't think so

I’m mostly concerned about this for the finals as, despite the BBC’s best efforts, there are still many people who are not aware that the semi finals exist. Even among those who are aware of them, there are probably fewer Liverpool locals who give a enough of a shit that they are willing to go into town and get bevvied on a weeknight. And then there are those who avoid the semis because they think watching them “spoils” the final.

Subject to British weather, plan is to do the village for the semis and then I have seated tickets to watch the final at Euroclub.

 

[Soldi]

Cardiff is IN!

 

[Kratz]

Official screenings my eye

£50 PLEASE

She needs to get the full 1999 EXPÉRIENCE

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

7 people

I mean 7 people is enough to win a televote in Malta

 

[Soldi]

 

[Lucille]

I thought the massive ring was just Soldi being lowered into position.

 

[dUb]

This from BBC News has caused a bit of a stir, with a whole lot of "the host broadcaster shouldn't be doing this" etc. in the replies.



Our Slovenian KINGS took it well though

 

[Kratz]

Yeah they probably shouldn't have done that.

And Ms Blanka WILL qualify.
