Eurovision - Live watchalong.
Graham is on grrrrreat form! :D
Opening is fabulous. And they have three ladies hosting? In a variety of colours!
The two older girls are both doing a shared Eurovision chat with their friends.
My parents are still here. My mother doesn't understand... any of it. (It's all very silly and over the top? *g*)
The little movie things reaching across the world are LOVELY! <3
1. Slovenia - Um. Air violin?
2. France - Well that was a thing. Biiiiig ballad
3. Israel - Bouncy middle eastern boyband. But fun. :D
4. Estonia - Not terrible, just not that interesting. (And the girl cried an actual tear!)
5. It's us!!! - I had not seen nor heard it before. Main reaction: Now that was FUN! Different and distinctive and enjoyable. Yes, I like it. :D
6. Armenia - I was told it'd be a night of ballads. Bells! And keychange! And everyone dressed as if they were from Nightvale (according to Miss M). ETA: Graham's comment: 'Oh! That was worse than I remembered...'
7. Lithuania - Round and round and round. Miss M: 'It's got all the cheese...' Graham: 'Get a room you two.' He will neither confirm or deny whether or not they're dating.
8. Serbia - This year's Conchita, according to Graham. Apparently she's terribly popular. I can see why. Holy crap this is BRILLIANT!!! This is what Eurovision is all about!!
9. Norway - Darcy thinks it's rather David Lynch. Rather srs, but heartfelt. Graham thinks they're dressed like they work in a futuristic hospital... Not a bad song, though.
10. Sweden - I can see why it's the frontrunner. VERY good.
11. Cyprus - very nice, but not exciting.
12. Australia - Perfectly serviceable.
13. Belgium - Whoa. Best song by far! Like, I want to buy it. Darcy said it was like Pet Shop Boys plus Daft Punk plus Franz Ferdinand. (And too good for Eurovision.) Damn.
14. Austria - Aaand, it's 1969. ;) V. cosy? And now my mother screamed when the piano set on fire.
15. Greece - Biiiig ballad. But not as big a ballad as Rise like a Phoenix.
16. Montenegro - Um. Very nice, nothing to add.
17. Germany - Slick, but not exciting.
18. Poland - Very inspirational story. Wish the song were better.
19. Latvia - This is the other favourite, I think? V. dramatic.
20. Romania - 'Don't leave your children behind'. Aw.
21. Spain - A ballad with a CAPE! And a sparkly dress and dancing.
22. Hungary - Srs bsns song. Nice harmonies.
23. Georgia - Seems to have escaped from sci-fi movie. Or dystopian fantasy.
24. Azerbaijan - Not bad, but DANCERS!
25. Russia - More of an anthem than a ballad. Very strong. (Mr Putin - you know your stuff.)
26. Albania - If you can't say something nice, say nothing at all.
27. Italy - Operatic Pop Trio according to Graham. ... SO ITALIAN. Now they're singing about 'Amore'. And they can sing! (My mother likes it! *g*)
Wooooo! I am v. happy with the winner. (Liked the Belgian one *more*, but it wasn't all that Eurovision.) And the Swedish winner was so adorably happy. <3
PS. Sorry 'bout vanishing, Darcy wanted his laptop back. Will reply to comments tomorrow...
