Eyes down for #Eurovision, lads.

And a great start with the lass from Israel coming out to a song where the chorus is “I don’t care”.

Astonishing.

@DJDarren They switched it right after her too...

@andyb Yep. Amazing scenes.

Graham said this was ABBA, but it’s clearly Madonna. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

What am I missing with that Gilmore Girls joke? #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Is the wider voting window purely to earn more money from a shit load more votes? #Eurovision

@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

If you can VPN into the BBC coverage of #Eurovision then you get to enjoy Graham Norton.

Who just said of Martin and Martinus “I met them at breakfast. One of them is friendly”

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

The BBC stream just shit the fuck out with all the picture noise on the staging. #Eurovision

The Ukrainians are wearing tremendously sensible overcoats in their postcard. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

If Ukraine win again, will Israel offer to host it for them? #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

I was glad to see Luxembourg make it into the finals. It’s a fun track. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Oh Christ, skip over the Dutch entry because they’re disqualified and go straight to Israel. The EBU are pulling a blinder tonight. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Pretty sure this is the applause sound from GarageBand. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

I really didn’t want to like this because of his nose jewellery, but dammit, it’s great. The shiny nosed shithouse. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

That is a substantial trouser he’s wearing though.

There are a number of substantial trousers in the show tonight, if the semis were anything to go by. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Oh, for those who didn’t see the semi finals, the Spanish entry is fucking INCREDIBLE. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Fuck it, I’m putting it out there that I want Spain to win. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Fair play to them for getting Jason Momoa to get his ass out. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

As @Troggie noted the other night, this is Spanish Dolly Parton, and that’s perfectly fine. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

🍻Lord Sir Terry Wogan 🍻

#Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Oh yeah, this is the one with Pitbull and the Hairy Bikers. Top shit. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Bambie Thug is excellent. I’d like them to do very well tonight. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Saw someone earlier questioning whether this is even music, and like, dude, have you never heard industrial metal? #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

As great as that is, I imagine Bambie Thug is quite difficult to know IRL. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Latvia somehow allowing Jeffrey Bezos to perform on their behalf. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Pretty sure he’s just covering a Hozier track though. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Still waiting for him to run in that wheel like a hamster. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

The Greek entry really irritated me at the semis. She’s a tongue flapper, and I simply can’t tolerate that nonsense. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

I really like our track this year.

It won’t win, but I like it. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

The staging is hurting my head though. #Eurovision

derickr,
@derickr@phpc.social avatar

@DJDarren Making you dizzy? 😁

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@derickr Why yes, you could say that.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

I’ve had too many beers for that staging. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

The comedy skits are always…funny… #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

The Norway entry is great. It won’t win, but it’s proper. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

I want to listen to that on The Good Headphones. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

I’ve watched the video of this track a couple of times for research purposes, and I can tell you that it’s a good song. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

This is more Italian than a slender lad smoking a fag on a Vespa, talking with his hands. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Keep waiting for the Serbia track to go somewhere interesting. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Canadians looking upon that denim egg with the kind of lust they usually reserve for poutine and being apologetic. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

The track is a fucking banger though. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Another substantial trouser.

Cum Dancing #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

These people are not wearing any substantial trousers. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

These are the best band out of Armenia since System of a Down. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Cyprus here, with a perfectly cromulent track. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Very much playing to the audience there. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Nemo has an excellent voice. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

It’s almost a Bond theme, y’know? #Eurovision

DJDarren, (edited )
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Fair play, the runestone joke was good. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

I’D LIKE TO RIM TIM TAGIDIM #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

That’s a lovely horse on the screen behind him. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

WOOOOOAH #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

You hit up Temu to buy Shakira, and this is what arrives 6 weeks later. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Fair play to the French lad for giving it All The French. But meh.

However, I’m led to believe his voice did t “fail him” last night. He just chose to protest Israel. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

It has not been ten years since Conchita won. Absolutely fucking not. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

She won’t feel the benefit. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

It’s Kylie singing the hits of Cascada. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

You can imagine hearing this song while riding a waltzer at a dodgy traveling funfair, while a skinny topless lad in brogues smokes a tab and spins your car around. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Tried voting for Spain and Ireland, and just got an engaged tone. Voted for Croatia and it went through. #Sus #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Oh, ignore that, I was able to vote in the end. #Sus #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Fuck yeah Alcazar! #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

It’s very easy to dismiss ABBA as nothing more than cheesy pop, but they really knew how to bang out a three minute pop banger. #Eurovision

guffo,
@guffo@topspicy.social avatar

@DJDarren I will never not tap my foot to an ABBA tune

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@guffo There’s a reason their greatest hits is one of the biggest selling albums in UK history.

ItsThatDeafGuy,
@ItsThatDeafGuy@beige.party avatar

@DJDarren their melodies are the pop blue print.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

I didn’t hear Martin say the thing over all the booing. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

“Shut the fuck up and get on with it” I say over and over again. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Good old Lumley. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

12 points to Portugal? The scoring makes no sense. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Shut the fuck up and get on with it. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Shut the fuck up and get on with it. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Shut the fuck up and get on with it. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

BOOOOOOOOO

Also, shut the fuck up and get on with it. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

So Norway just gave their 12 points to the Norwegians who performed for Sweden? #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

I have a visceral reaction when the representatives sing their results. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

How do Spain only have 7 points? #Eurovision

Tijn,
@Tijn@dosgame.club avatar

@DJDarren I've been saying this for years: not having to qualify in the semis is actually terrible for your chances of success during the finals

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@Tijn Absolutely. I was pondering earlier how much better our (the UK) songs would have to be if we were had to qualify like everyone else.

Tijn,
@Tijn@dosgame.club avatar

@DJDarren yeah, there's no doubt. And of course sometimes songs don't qualify, that happens to everyone. But once you're through, you're pretty much guaranteed to have established some kind of fanbase, which will translate to good points in the finals.

Not having to qualify robs entries of that advantage.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Every year I go into #Eurovision assuming I know anything about pop music, then I see the votes and realise that I know nothing.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Big shout out to Austria there. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Thinking about it, Portugal’s getting 12 points because of her substantial trousers. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Finland were supposed to have Kaarija delivering the scores, but he told the EBU to get fucked. Big ups to the lad. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Shut the fuck up and get on with it. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Quelle surprise, Belgium. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Shut the fuck up and get on with it, Iceland. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Shut the fuck up, etc…, Ireland #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

The UK being on the left side of the board is basically us winning. #Eurovision

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

Man, harsh on Finland and Norway. #Eurovision

izzyamar,
@izzyamar@twit.social avatar

@DJDarren I refuse to believe that

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@izzyamar Because it’s an obvious, obvious lie.

izzyamar,
@izzyamar@twit.social avatar

@DJDarren Yeah! It was only, like, 5 years ago, tops.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@izzyamar At most.

miffyhelen,
@miffyhelen@mastodon.world avatar

@DJDarren I said the same. Absolute madness

@miffyhelen The passage of time should be banned.

    Yes, I posted this during the semis, but it was a Good Post, so I used it again. Fuck you. #Eurovision

    @DJDarren I started with a VPN to iPlayer but the video quality was just too terrible so I'll just deal with the HQ peacock stream sans Graham
