Moopyvision 2010-2019: Semi Final One - Results 8pm Tuesday 30/6

[Soldi]

I’ll be dipping in and out as I’ve just got in from work and I’m cooking tea

 

[VoR]

I have also added France, Germany and the United Kingdom to the end of tonight's playlist.

PLEASE DO NOT VOTE FOR THEM TONIGHT.

It's just so they get the same exposure as everybody else.

 

[VoR]

GO!

[dmlaw]

I assume that we're starting dead on eight. If we're not then Donatas Montardauskas has made an early appearance on my screen.

 

[VoR]

The first song is Lithuania: Donny Montell - Waiting For This Night

The Lithuania round was... rough, but to be fair this obvious Melfest cast-off was a fairly slick production. It returned Lithuania to the top ten for the second, and to date only time since their biggest Eurovision success, We Are The Winners by LT United.

 

[Iguana]

I fucking love Lithuania

 

[ButterTart]

Oh are we still on Lithuania?

 

[Iguana]

I'm in Romania but we started a minute late

 

[Iguana]

Not actually in Romania, damn autocorrect

 

[Tisch]

Anyone else seeing Shania Twain duetting with Nick from New Girl?

 

[dmlaw]

I'm on Romania. It's a great deal better than their rubbish second entry. Double pianos are just better than circular ones.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Romania is the tits.

 

[ButterTart]

Donny Montell is the name of a working men's club hypnotist. Also, his hair is offensive to everyone.

Fuck me, miracle was such a letdown.

 

[ButterTart]

Shania Twain vs David Gest.

 

[Iguana]

The high note is both impressive and shaky

 

[AGinAg (37)]

He's a funny looking cunt.

 

[ButterTart]

He's a funny looking cunt.

He looks like his own caricature.

 

[dmlaw]

I suspect that Malta would have had a lot less to recommend it if they hadn't spent quite so much drug money on the staging.

 

[ButterTart]

Speaking of funny looking cunts, here's our Michela.

 

[Iguana]

Love the staging though

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I love Chameleon. Shame the performance was.... odd.

 

[Iguana]

They did an amazing job of making it look like a real music video. Shame about the song

[VoR]

I love how bored Romania's backing vocalists look

 

[Tisch]

I couldn't find Chameleon on YouTube at all. The only video I could find was a weird side by side of the semi next to the final perf. Assumed it had been taken down.

Anyway, the staging is good! But it's got that modern day chorus-that-isnt-a-chorus that o hate

 

[ButterTart]

In the grand tradition of prematurely wizened Maltese folk, was she not about 16?

I tend not to enjoy the fake video performances.

Are you not watching the playlist?

 

[dmlaw]

I seem to recall the Malta were one of the ones that had a really weak decade. I think the main competition for this was probably Gianluca the homophobe.

 

[Iguana]

I know what you mean, I think this one was done particularly well but yeah it's still a little bit OFF

Insert Rita on PC meme.

That evil little chode. I loved Warrior and I wish it had won.

 

[Iguana]

Like a young Dannii Minogue Cheeky Girl

 

[dmlaw]

I'm having traumatic flashbacks to trying to get through the Belarus songs. At least the winner was one of the two bearable ones.

 

[dmlaw]

The other being Solayoh, of course.

 

[Tisch]

Are you not watching the playlist?

I am, I meant when I was putting my votes together. Can't remember if the playlist was ready or not but if it was I didn't realise.

 

[VoR]

Belarus is such a let down live for such an insane song. DO SOMETHING LUV

 

[ButterTart]

I Love Belarus. I can't hear that chorus without thinking of this:


'I love Belarus! Bang a little boy, girl'

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I dont love Belarus.
