Year 2 of Lockdown, Day 67 (Eurovision)
In the past I've done live-blogging, so we'll see if I manage that this year...
(It's been three years since we watched it last - we skipped 2019 when Israel hosted.)
It'll be interesting to see what it'll look like, if there is an audience (socially distanced) or... idk. I've not read or watched anything (except the Icelandic entry) so I guess I'll see.
OMG Graham Norton I missed you. <3
The closeness of the audience members makes me worried. Even if I know everyone's been tested up the wazoo...
Nikkie de Jager look amazing, my 15 year old is full of information on the topic of influencers.
1. Cyprus. Um, she has a sparkly outfit. Something something el diablo.
2. Albania. MORE sparkles. But loving the colourful cloud effects.
3. Israel... I want to say something, but I got chatting to the Cherub. The singer seems talented, but um yeah, Israel singing about being set free... (I mean, Israel always sings about peace.) Highest note on Eurovision ever, a B6 was it?
4. Belgium. Oh this is immediately more interesting. Cherub not that impressed, thinks it's too depressing. Black sparkly dress (just so I can remember) & nice band.
5. Russia. Now THIS is Eurovision. The dress, the boiler suit, the... everything.
6. Malta. No tune, but it's fun and upbeat and the staging is like a Warhol come to life.
7. Portugal. Now this is a SINGER. (Love is on my side) Mmm, love his voice.
8. Serbia. Ah Graham. (They seem to have spent most of the past 12 months working on their make up. Less 'Destiny's Child, more 'Destiny's inappropriate auntie'.) Oh god the HAIR. ETA: GRAHAM! ('I guess hairdressers have opened up again in Serbia...')
9. UK. Oh dear. Couldn't we at least have had some hot babes? If nothing else they could hold a tune. Imma gonna go hide behind the sofa now. (I bear him no ill will, apparently he's a nice bloke, but...)
10. Greece. Sparkly Bond girl? SUCH SPARKLE. And invisible ppl! Cheesy in all the right ways.
11. Switzerland. Darcy: He's too fucking good for Eurovision.
12. Iceland. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
13. Spain. (Please let the moon be an egg.) Darcy: Spain not phoning in it this year! We're going to get crushed.
14. Moldova. More sparkly dress. And how long was 'the longest note'? Twitter tells me 17 seconds.
15. Germany. YES THIS IS EUROVISION! Oh Lord, I love it when Germany does... the Germany thing. *waves hands gleefully*
16. Finland. Yeah, some heavy metal. Am liking this. Although join WHAT?
Loving this wander around the commentators' booths. (Finland hand: Join <- brilliant)
17. Bulgaria. Unusual, no glitter, just a SONG.
18. Lithuania. YELLOW. And definite Pet Shop Boys vibes.
19. Ukraine. Mmm, interesting. Loving the cultural/futuristic vibes.
20. France. That is the most French thing I have seen in forEVER. *applauds* Voila!
21. Azerbaijan. Middle Eastern Ariana Grande. (I am not particularly familiar with Ariana Grande's music, I am basing this all on her looks.)
22. Norway. Fallen angel. Here's to big power ballads.
23. Netherlands. That was different. But good different. Here's to earnestness.
24. Italy. More rock, but more stylish than the Fins. And the heels!
25. Sweden. Just... the outfit. The bling! The pop factory did it again. Darcy thinks it's dullsville. And KEY CHANGE!
26. San Marino. This is solid Eurovision to close on. Oh and now there's rapping!
