Moopyvision 2020: Semi 1: RESULTS

[D5K]

God this Semi is STACKED. Just looked at semi 2 and it's either full of SHITE, or stuff I BARELY REMEMBER.

Yeah, I looked this afternoon and wow, it's slim pickings.

 

[Lucille]

I’ve tried getting into Move, including several times today before voting, but it just never clicked for me.

I guess it loses something without the live performance and being able to see how much fun they're having.

 

[Soldi]

I’m rather fond of MOVE but I think that SWISS ONE would have took it.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I would have supported a Swedish win however. I liked them AND Swedish hosting/ Petra.

 

[Soldi]

I can’t imagine Petra hosting again though, we’d probably have to settle with SARAH.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh AS IF they'd have denied us Petra.

 

[ButterTart]

I’m rather fond of MOVE but I think that SWISS ONE would have took it.

No, that was shit.

 

[Soldi]

No, that was shit.

I KNOW but it was THAT and BULGARIA that were favourites was it not?

 

[Lucille]

Oh I liked the Swiss one!

 

[ButterTart]

I KNOW but it was THAT and BULGARIA that were favourites was it not?

Oh God that's bleak. It's probably for the best the Corona put a stop to it, not least because I've saved a fortune in Semtex.

 

[Soldi]

Oh I liked the Swiss one!

I did too but he didn’t have to go all SUUS at the end. It would have been funny to see all the Wiwibloggs TEAM moaning about the cost of a fortnight in ZÜRICH too.

 

[Lucille]

Although from the re-watches I've learned I do tend to favour ANY OLD SHIT if it's in french.

 

[Zu]

Oh I liked the Swiss one!

I properly LOVED the Swiss one in the end

 

[Jacques]

Bulgaria was one of the very best and would've made a very deserving winner! A Swiss win would've been one of the lesser evils compared to Iceland I guess

I do hope the juries would've put a stop to Russia as they normally do

 

[ButterTart]

SUUS

Just when enough time had passed since the Albania rate I'd started to forget that shrieking, Jabba's palace-looking BELLEND...

 

[Lucille]

Although I just translated the lyrics and was amused by this sequence.


Why death

Comes after life?

Comes after life?

I give my tongue to the cat.

SACRILEGE. I think it’s fair to say that we could never describe the lovely @ButterTart as an avant-gardiste. Imagine taking him to a Tracey Emin. IT’S JUST MANKY STANKING TAMPONS! WHERE’S THE ART!

Gets my vote. Well, my EIGHT

On my way out of the museum of modern art in Lisbon I loudly said 'Well, that was shit' in the hope they'd replace everything with proper art like pictures of horses and ladies with their arms off.

 

[Zu]

Surely not!

 

[ButterTart]

I give my tongue to the cat.

We all do, but we don't write DIRGES about it.

 

[Zu]

I always think there’s not much point in looking at paintings of a horse when you could quite easily go somewhere and see a REAL HORSE. Obviously ladies with their arms off might be a little more difficult to come by although I’m sure there’s a website for that sort of business

 

[Zu]

What was the theme of this thread again? SORRY EVERYONE PRESCRIPTION DRUGS

 

[ButterTart]

Obviously ladies with their arms off might be a little more difficult to come by

I tried making my own but they're just not the same.

 

[D5K]

Midweek bump - 15 voters so far but I'm sure we can do better than that.

 

[D5K]

I thought we’d do a GROUP WATCH of all the videos.

Also I posted this in the rewatch thread but might as well repeat it here:

The EBU are doing online shows on Youtube on the nights of the semis (Tuesday 12 and Thursday 14) called "Eurovision Song Contest celebration", which will feature each of the songs that would have been played on the night.

These shows seem like obvious candidates for scheduling in; and they may mean that the Moopyvision 2020 slot the following week isn't needed.

This has just brought me a bit of teary joy

Too bad you need the votes BEFORE the watches though.

 

[Dark Carnival]

I give my tongue to the cat.

Possibly my favourite French idiom

 

[Lucille]

Is it similar to the english ‘cat’s got your tongue’?

 

[Dark Carnival]

Is it similar to the english ‘cat’s got your tongue’?

Not quite. You say it when you give up trying to figure out the answer to a question/riddle, ie GIVE ME THE ANSWER.

 

[Pingu]

Voted. Good grief as if this semi wasn't difficult enough, the three best autoqualifiers are in here too.

I'd imagine that will have the opposite effect on the other batch...

 

[D5K]

Only for this semi. The final's the really important one and that's after all that.

 

[Dark Carnival]

A voté!

 

[win_the_game]

Those STRAIGHT OR GAY OR IN BETWEEN lyrics in 'Cleopatra' really piss me the fuck off. They're so clunky and utterly naff. Worst set of gay themed lyrics since the PSB/Kylie monstrosity 'In Denial';

 

[Dark Carnival]

They reek of Azeri pinkwashing but I LIKE Cleopatra.

 

[win_the_game]

Well yes that as well. Utterly cynical.

 

[Alla]

I have to desagree with you. The SHOCK when you hear that in a song FROM AZERBAIJAN is everything. And they gave us the perfect definition for ButterTart, so thumbs up from Alla jury.

 

[Iguana]

We're having our own watch party to this
