DuncanMSussex, to Eurovision
@DuncanMSussex@mas.to avatar

A few hours before the show but sending out an early toot to start my Eurovision thread!

Picked up a lot via osmosis, especially the various dramas this year, but avoided the actual songs so hopefully going in blind-ish.

Ooh. Gilmore Girls season 3. I'll have to enter next year.

Loving the 90s/00s retrofuturistic show going on here. Actual song really dull, but like the show!

I think either one where the stage work blows me away (amazing flame arrows) more than the song.

Okay, that was before the rap. This is actually class.

These stage shows are a huge step up even from last year. This is fine.

This guy has a nice strong voice but super generic song. Better than Sweden's I guess.

Welcome back!

Not sure I've seen drilltails outside of anime before but good on you for making this work.

Least impressive stageshow (what is that cat?) so far. Decent song on its own terms I guess, but seems a throwback.

The controversy slot.

Honestly this isn't her fault, seems a genuine mix of boos and cheers.

Okay song. Unsure if better than Luxembourg or not.

All stage stuff - quite nice but I've nothing to say about this song. Hooks at the end quite nice so beats Sweden at least.

She's 92 and not dead!

Doing fucking well for someone in her 90s.

Nice idea behind this song - reclaiming a slur. And the crowd know this - one to tip? Unsure if this is number one or two for me so far.

Kitschy, classic Eurovision this. One to remember I think.

The fellas down in Legends will love this. (Apologies to non-Brighton folk.) Even as a heterosexual bloke this is fucking amazing.

This is much more modern Eurovision kitsch.

Honestly what I'm here for.

Ah, I know of this one! Always nice to see goth adjacent stuff in Eurovision.

Loving the witchy stuff. Would love to see this win, even though it's more a show than an amazing song in itself. One to remember.

Shame to lose the ogham. I endorse that message.

DuncanMSussex,
@DuncanMSussex@mas.to avatar

Quite the look.

It's a ballad. Not going to lie, not what I expected.

But this is basically the same acceptable ballad we get each Eurovision. Sometimes multiple times.

DuncanMSussex,
@DuncanMSussex@mas.to avatar

Greece me up woman!

Just wanted that Simpsons reference really.

This is okay. Seems like something that would chart and then exit without a trace. With a bit of folk influence, as befits Eurovision.

#eurovision #greece

Okay, it's the UK. You know, sometimes we've actually done acceptable songs but usually we deserve the poor performance we usually get.

What one is this?

Honestly, I'm up for it, it's nice to see the UK embracing a more "wacky" entry. It's been a consistent blind spot. I was a bit marginal on it initially but am sold.

I spent the winter on the verge of a total breakdown while living in Norway. I felt the darkness of the black metal bands.

This wasn't one of them.

Enjoying this dramatic electronic rock though - strikes me as the kind of thing that won't do well but will be worth looking up the band later.

Do you remember when Italy was absent and San Marino just filled their space? That was weird in hindsight, right?

Unrelated but this performer has a great outfit and routine. Not too bothered by the actual song but strikes me as something that the Eurovision crowd will cherish.

Have to admit I didn't think this particular lady would do a generic ballad. Decently delivered but unremarkable.

DuncanMSussex,
@DuncanMSussex@mas.to avatar

This man's going for it!

Everything I want from Eurovision. Full marks, no notes.

I'm sorry, this is Eurovision perfection. It won't win but thank you, Eurovision gods.
