Hero makes the list. Take Me To Your Heaven, nude and distressed.

It's understandable they'd prioritise her more recent and popular winners, so I understand why they left Take Me To Your Heaven and Mitt liv off, but I really don't understand why Still Young didn't make the cut at all

Well the fun is over for some euroloons

HAH! Five years ago I would probably have been rather disappointed in this, but now I am not bothered in the slightest! It is very much the end of an era. I'm glad I experienced it when I could.

I think said euroloons brought this all on themselves with the trolling and nasty comments they have made about some of the rehearsals in the past.
 
Same. I was thinking about taking a step back from that side of things anyway, and this pretty much confirms it.

It's a shame, as watching the progression of the stage shows from the first rehearsal through to the final product has really been one of the joys of the 'on the ground' experience for me, but the social media atmosphere is so toxic and hostile towards the artists at this point, I can't argue that this isn't a justified decision.

I know some of the Mopsy contingent call us LOONS, but the new generation really are something else. From trolling artists who beat their favourites in National Finals, to their Top 1 videos or reaction videos that are ill-informed and uninteresting, it is quite a change. Last year I had an ACTUAL holiday in Turin, granted Liverpool might not be as exciting but from things I am hearing it's going to be a good week, so let's just have fun and enjoy the contest from a different perspective!

Does this mean the end of WIWIBOGGS (we live in hope)?

A restraining order wouldn’t stop William. In Turin press weren’t allowed inside so he literally just stood outside for hours waiting for someone to walk past to update him.

He’s part of all the National Final juries well so expect all the bops to make it oxo

The GAY GRAVY TRAIN comes to an end at last!

I think it’s actually great. In fact, I’d go further- I’d like there to be fuck all leaks before the semis/ final. Will make the whole thing far more exciting.

There is a paying audience for the second and third dress rehearsals so it’s impossible for it to be leak free. The demand for tickets these days is so high that even the lesser shows are snapped up, helped by the much cheaper cost.

I can remember when they struggled to sell all the tickets for the live semi finals. It’s only been since Lisbon that it’s really gone crazy. Before then it was relatively easy to get the tickets you wanted.

Not in Turin! Lots of empty seats and I remember a shot during one performance where it focused on the audience leaving.
:eyes:
 
Both of the shows that we attended (first semi and second semi jury show) were both pretty much full from memory.
 
A percentage of tickets are given to sponsors and delegates and they aren’t always used. There’s also always people coming and going. I went to the bar for a bit during the final last year and missed Azerbaijan and Belgium, and from the second Estonia ended I was up those stairs fast and only got back to my seat just as the voting was about to start.

Because some of the conversations here are fucking hilarious. I wish there was more of an archive to read back on :eyes:

Not for years.

Submitted my volunteer application yesterday and woke up to an email today saying due to technical issues I have to resubmit.

I think they're gonna get the edited version now.
 
I'd be here for it if we get an interval medley of "The Boy Does Nothing"/"Breathe Slow"/"Scandalous", and as long as it's not at the expense of AJ having a hosting slot.
 
Well, if they're going to raid the ITV shite entertainment department for talent, at least they've gone for her and not Am*nda H*ld*n.

The Sunship mixes of All I Want and One Night Stand with the FULL raps would be the only acceptable option :disco:

Alisha was the best thing about Drag Race UK series 3. If she can bring that, i couldn't be more here for it.

Is this just tabloid speculation at this stage, though?
