[Beverley]

FUUUUUUUUUCK ME! ITS THE YEAR OF TORNERO!!!!

 

[Madison]

He looks like a clown who escaped Chernobyl.

 

[VoR]

Love this song and love the utter monster that it created

 

[D5K]

This was one of the favourites wasn’t it?

deservedly so.

 

[COB]

God this is exactly the sort of gay old shit I needed tonight

 

[Beverley]

@VoR need to do this for the Karaoke. They almost have the same hair even

 

[Tisch]

Nope! Beautiful Liar was a hit in 2007

They must have seen this and scrambled to their phones to get that collab off the ground

 

[Beverley]

One of my fave Eurovision songs and one of the best vocal performances, no?

 

[VoR]

Perhaps inevitably, this was a big hit in Sweden post-Contest.

 

[Soldi]

Yes, everyone remember to TAKE NOTES for your karaoke choices tonight and if anyone else feels inspired to enter just let me know! Looking in your direction @VoR

Could you not get your OTHER HALF to enter? Free takeaway of their choice if they do?

 

[Madison]

He’s the only vocalist - he has five dancers.

 

[VoR]

He really is made up like the LIVING DEAD, isn't he?

 

[COB]

I like how both the dancers are predicting the Cheryl Cole solo career with their outfits

 

[Beverley]

He looks like a clown who escaped Chernobyl.

OMG

DEF a touch too much BLUSH

 

[D5K]

One of my fave Eurovision songs and one of the best vocal performances, no?

No backing vocalists behind a box either.

 

[dmlaw]

This Romanian bloke looks like the one groomsman that all of the bridesmaids want to avoid dancing with because they know how handsy he is going to get.

[VoR]

For those who don't follow, Mihai has spent the past 14 years dining out on this and desperately trying to get back to Eurovision, with increasingly diminishing returns.

Bless.

[Madison]

Silvia Night!

 

[Lucille]

Ooooooh was that Queen SILVIA!?

 

[Tisch]

For those who don't follow, Mihai has spent the past 14 years dining out on this and desperately trying to get back to Eurovision, with increasingly diminishing returns.

Bless.

Has he tried giving the Moldovan national finals a go? We've all DONE IT!

 

[Lucille]

Who’s this SLIMY KEN DOLL!?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Could you not get your OTHER HALF to enter? Free takeaway of their choice if they do?

I have the same vocal ability as Latvia. The world should be spared that.

 

[Soldi]

Oh we need to slip in Silvia at SOME POINT TONIGHT

 

[Beverley]

Sakis looks very SHINY

 

[Madison]

The phone lines aren’t open yet - are they?

Stupid hosts.

 

[VoR]

Surprised Madison hasn't already brought this up, but I genuinely recommend taking a drink every time Maria Menounos says the word 'amazing' tonight.

 

[dmlaw]

We'll be the judges of whether we have enjoyed 12 performances, MARIA.

 

[Soldi]

I have the same vocal ability as Latvia. The world should be spared that.

Oh I bet you’d do a lovely rendition of Suus or that screaming lady for Croatia in 1996 and everyone would be throwing their DOUZE in your direction!

 

[Beverley]

OMG Lejla

 

[Soldi]

Surprised Madison hasn't already brought this up, but I genuinely recommend taking a drink every time Maria Menounos says the word 'amazing' tonight.

I’ll play!

 

[Beverley]

I love the lead singer and how his eyes can barely open. He so adorable

 

[Madison]

Poor legally blind Hari Mata Hari

 

[Lucille]

Loving the escort on accordion!

 

[D5K]

Ooh they’re starting the ominous walk forward
