A big novelty drum really was ESSENTIAL this year wasn’t it.

[ButterTart]

His anus must’ve been in TATTERS by the end of the week.

In fairness it was probably like a screaming hippo well before he even got there.

 

[Soldi]

Omg a knock off Las Ketchup! This year has EVERYTHING!

 

[dmlaw]

These postcards are not making me eager to visit Kiev. Although, obviously, I'm eager to visit just about anywhere at the moment.

 

[ButterTart]

Oh I forgot Spain sent the same song like three years in a row.

 

[lolly]

God I love Spain's commitment to boost the profile of ropey women.

 

[dmlaw]

It's Las Ketchup!

 

[Soldi]

I said a HAY HA HAY HAY

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Las Hellman's Mayonnaise

 

[Lucille]

Quite impressive pulling off these vocals live to be fair, they’ve yet to stop for breath!

 

[win_the_game]

They’re all the wrong side of 40 for this.

 

[dmlaw]

Quite good boobs in the contest this year.

I don't reckon I'll be able to even get to YORK in a fortnight. It seems unfathomable that one day we'll be able to visit these distant lands with their olive-skinned natives and buildings as tall as the sky.

 

[Soldi]

10000000 Spain

 

[Lucille]

I really liked that.

 

[Soldi]

Oh I LOVE this one!

 

[ButterTart]

Donald Sutherland cameo in that postcard. Fucking Hell, the budget must have been massive this year.

 

[dmlaw]

The first line of the Musical Career section of their Wikipedia is 'Son de Sol have not enjoyed commercial success in Spain.'

 

[lolly]

That female host must be spitting chips looking at Shiri's dress.

[ButterTart]

Quite good boobs in the contest this year.

Israel is an excellent case in point. I remember her much more than the I remember the song.

 

[win_the_game]

Everything about this perf is STUNNING.

We'll know if Israel gets a really good score.

 

[Soldi]

L’CHAIM

 

[AlgoAlex]

I wonder of Cyprus has found a wife yet? Love the sparkly gym gloves

 

[ZenGiraffe]

What's with the shit IKEA paper lampshades in the background?

 

[ButterTart]

That was an unusually long postcard.

 

[ButterTart]

I'm gonna stop you there, Serbia.

 

[Soldi]

Oh not a fucking BOYBAND to ruin proceedings. It’s like when Diddy’s entry starts on ASFM.

 

[lolly]

Is one of these dead?

That's the law for every young male Eurovision duo, isn't it?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Oh not a fucking BOYBAND to ruin proceedings. It’s like when Diddy’s entry starts on ASFM.

Poor @Diddy, he doesn't deserve this disrespect

 

[win_the_game]

Men's hair and fashion and hair was the pits in the early 00s.

 

[Soldi]

Poor @Diddu, he doesn't deserve this disrespect

Oh not a fucking BOYBAND to ruin proceedings. It’s like when Caramella Girls start on ASFM.

 

[Lucille]

How did THIS make it through the semis?

 

[lolly]

Very troubling selection of blousons

 

[ButterTart]

@ZenGiraffe, no THAT was the worst violin miming of all time. He hadn't even fucking got one!
