Eurovision Rewatch: Copenhagen 2014 (27/06, 20:00 BST)

[D5K]

I want to punch him already

Clearly I learned nothing from Hungary about violence.

 

[dUb]

PROUD to say this is in my all time top 10

 

[dmlaw]

What happens in Malta?

Whatever it is, it had better stay in Malta.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Don't worry guys OUR MOLL still to come.

Beware of the cars little rabbit.

 

[dmlaw]

PROUD to say this is in my all time top 10

Your all time top 10 what?

 

[ButterTart]

I actually quite like this one.

 

[Dark Carnival]

They should’ve sent her as the main vocalist

 

[D5K]

Was the previous year’s Icelandic entry with the dead guy’s friends also called Coming Home? It was much better.

 

[ButterTart]

Maybe we need a competition for the worst Eurovision songs of the decade. I might start it once VoR has finished his best of competition.

Oh fuck, you've reminded me I need to vote.

 

[Madison]

It was a bit too saccharine for my liking. But at least it wasn’t about child abuse - so that’s a plus.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Your all time top 10 what?

Veneral diseases.

 

[dmlaw]

Veneral diseases.

Speaking of venereal diseases, here's Denmark.

 

[Dark Carnival]

HATE HATE HATE

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh now this is REALLY BAD.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

When Denmark send entries like this I am reminded of their beastiality porn industry.

 

[dmlaw]

Oh fuck, you've reminded me I need to vote.

Maybe you shouldn't have spent all day listening to dance anthems.

I assume that I can vote immediately after the listen on Tuesday evening.

 

[Madison]

There’s a technical malfunction here I think. They can’t get Bassim’s banner down in time.

 

[ButterTart]

Maybe you shouldn't have spent all day listening to dance anthems.

I assume that I can vote immediately after the listen on Tuesday evening.

...and that's why I've not voted yet, I read VoR's post the other day and realised that Tuesday isn't when voting closes. Jesus, I think I've a touch of the Alzheimer's.

 

[dmlaw]

There’s a technical malfunction here I think. They can’t get Bassim’s banner down in time.

Hence the random presenter appearance.

Love, love, love this.

 

[D5K]

The camerawork on this is stunning.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Aw this is just so lovely.

Perfect use of the stage.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Where’s the tune? Where is it?

 

[dmlaw]

...and that's why I've not voted yet, I read VoR's post the other day and realised that Tuesday isn't when voting closes. Jesus, I think I've a touch of the Alzheimer's.

It does close on Tuesday, just after the viewing party. I think. @VoR to confirm.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

It's really one of the LOVELIEST entries ever.

 

[D5K]

With Conchita there’d been some buzz during rehearsals. But I think this was a genuine surprise in the semis, it’s just captivating and so unexpected from the Netherlands.

 

[dmlaw]

Where’s the tune? Where is it?

You've turned the sound down, you silly goose.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Another year this really would have won.

 

[Madison]

The song would be better with five dancers of a different race in the background.

Oh wait - that would be a crazy thing to do.

 

[D5K]

I know I’m repeating myself but even if the songs this year aren’t the strongest, the overall direction and production is incredible.

 

[ButterTart]

I still think this is the SONG that should have won, but I can't quibble with Conchita being the correct winner artist-wise.

 

[dmlaw]

I'm not sure that just painting your flag isn't cheating.

 

[Dark Carnival]

So Valentina just DREW her flag! The creativity! I CAN’T!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

All that stage and they gave Valentina a hung up sheet.

 

[D5K]

All that stage and they gave Valentina a hung up sheet.

Yes this performance feels about 20 years older than the rest.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

The quivering mouth!

 

[Madison]

Bring back Valentina

 

[dmlaw]

Yes this performance feels about 20 years older than the rest.

Ah, but the song only feels fifteen years older than the rest, so that's progress.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Don't be scared Molly.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

They really were pushing the UK to do well.

When was the last time our staging looked great?

 

[ButterTart]

She's doing her best to hide it, but you can tell she's still pure raging about that cake.
