I hear Suzy is RUNNING TO HER LOCAL SANTANDER as we speak to plea her win here as VALID COLLATERAL for them to finally approve that subprime mortgage she's been trying for all these years :disco:

Then we're all invited to her bedsit for a custard tart and a splash of Madeira, all washed down with lashings of lovely decriminalised heroin.
 
I do also rather consider it EMINENTLY APPROPRIATE that Russia is being announced separately - a round that was truly its OWN ENTITY

4th: Cláudia Pascoal - O Jardim (124pts)

Any fears that victory would light a fire under Portugal to become the Sweden of the Iberian peninsula were swiftly abated by this, their home entry, in which two lesbians perform a chorus-free interpretive dance number about their dead grandmother. HOW COULD IT FAIL? :eyes:

Seriously though, I adore this and it has been know to elicit a tear or two when it catches me at the right moment, but that last place should have been no surprise to anybody*.

*Obviously I confidently predicted top ten at the time...

3 x 12 (Zu Klara, Win The Game, Superstylin)
2 x 0 (Pingu, Alla)

You ABSOLUTE fucking heartless bastards!
 
It's not like O Jardim was a gay favourite or anything.
 
In the grand tradition of the incontinent and emotionally unstable, I’ve just shat my nappy and vomited all over my walker in anticipation but luckily the carer will be here shortly for a quick clean up and some much-needed hand relief xxx
 
I’m thinking that we have a very straightforward and obvious winner here. OR DO WE? :shock:

I was doing the Carpool Karaoke routine when I accidentally rimmed Nanne :shy:

don’t be so hard on yourself, accidental rimmings are all the rage these days x
 
I know we have a track record of choosing winners who can't really sing, but it's usually been when there isn't much else. Maybe Julia should enter for Belarus.
 
9th: Peter Nalitch - Lost & Forgotten (53pts)

It's easy to forget now that they're Europe's finest purveyors of brutally efficient arena pop, but back in their early Eurovision days, Russia were, essentially, complete freaks. After they finally got their first win in 2008, they briefly started allowing that side of themselves to peek through again. Hence, well... this.

I must confess that I'm disappointed Moopy put this one last. I mean, obviously it's completely unlistenable, but it has a kind of ramshackle charm that's very much lacking in more recent Russian entries. From the 'photo' that's actually just a hasty sketch of what appears to be a malnourished alien, to the bored supporting actor, to the bit where the wind machine cranks up to 11 and it essentially becomes an incomprehensible vodka-fuelled rendition of 'Unchained Melody', it's the kind of patently ludicrous nonsense that's sorely lacking in this day and age.

2 x 10 (Win The Game, dmlaw)
9 x 0 (Kalabaliken, lolly, sewerynsven, Alla, Ag, Superstylin', SDF, Buttertart, Suomi)
 
True. I don’t think that ANY of my 12 pointers have actually won :side-eye:
 
So, a full forty minutes between being asked if we were ready and the first result. I'm starting to suspect that VoR is doing this on purpose as a raw display of his power to control our evenings.
