You keep saying this!

 

[Lucille]

Mediterranean Mysticism

 

[COB]

Well, "staging".

 

[lolly]

What a lovely head of hair

 

[lolly]

crushed velvet really is underused in men's clothing

 

[Dark Carnival]

oh at least something's happening!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

VERY FASHION FORWARD

 

[Madison]

Is this song in a weird time signature?

 

[COB]

Oh now THIS sounds like something shit from the Sixties in the chorus, I can't remember what but it doesn't matter.

 

[Kala]

Alex is still kicking about in Eurovision circles. He's usually there every year in some capacity. Nice guy.

 

[Penelope]

Oh this Cypriot one is better than I REMEMBERED, but this year has a nasty habit of songs segueing into Disney twee at any moment.

 

[win_the_game]

Why have one melody when you can have three?

 

[Dark Carnival]

He looks like the filthy pig from Greece in the early 2010s, OPA! guy.

 

[ButterTart]

The woman playing the bongo has got a right fat arse on her.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This is fine as well.

 

[dmlaw]

Cyprus is alright but it would probably help if the backing singer wasn't singing a different song.

 

[Soldi]

He looks like the filthy pig from Greece in the early 2010s, OPA! guy.

 

[lolly]

at least this is vaguely fun shit

 

[Lucille]

Leather and crushed velvet doesn’t work anywhere apart from the the interior of a strip club.

 

[Penelope]

LOVE the hot bitch on the drums

 

[Penelope]

Leather and crushed velvet doesn’t work anywhere apart from the the interior of a strip club.

UNTIL NOW!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

GLOW UP PLEASE

 

[Kala]

Btw, if you didn't know. Alex is a QUEEN.

 

[Dark Carnival]

I don’t even have the energy to sexually harass you.

 

[Penelope]

STI FOTIA IS GOING TO WIN EUROVISION!!!

 

[lolly]

Alex is still kicking about in Eurovision circles. He's usually there every year in some capacity. Nice guy.

I hope he hasn't gone bald. That would be particularly cruel.

 

[Madison]

I don’t know what that was, but I liked it.
