Eurovision 2022 thread

Not much cheering during the intros portion for the German guy who had the misfortune to come on after Ukraine.

 

Yeah, that didn't bode well. FWIW, I don't think he's anything special either. Just a Dermot Kennedy knockoff, voice-wise.

 

The Portuguese girl was a breath of fresh air - (not sure if she's much of a singer but I liked the voice).

 

The Rasmus? Yikes, that's a blast from the past I could have done without.

And you could definitely tell that thier song was co-written by Desmond 'Aero-Jovi' Child.

 

I'd still take them over a lot of the other musical facets usually present at Eurovision

Plus, their performance was quite convincing, if a bit more calculated than Maneskin. But they've been in the biz longer so it's to be expected.

 

So Norway have enetered a song about beastiality. Well, that's different.

 

Yeah, I thought that would be Australia's specialty.

 

Oh, I thought I recognised the host from somewhere - it's that Mika who sung that annoying 'Grace Kelly' song, about 15 years ago. Another blast from the past I could have done without!

'Why don't you like me? Why don't you like me?' is how that song went.

Well, let me count the ways....

 

The-powers-that-be clearly aren't going to let a rocky type number win 2 years running, but I thought this rather good. Lyrics no doubt written by a 14 year old boy, but I like the guitars and Glam sound



The other one I like is by the middle-aged Serbian lady in stockings, washing herself, singing about Megan Markle's healthy hair. Proper bizarre, that one.

 

Also, check out the frantic energy on this little number. Not Euro-techni-crap by any means. Starts slow and I nearly left it. Glad I stayed.

 

As the winning nation hosts the ceremony next year, I wonder what will happen if Ukraine win.

 

Here in Germany, his inescapable song was "Relax (Take it eeeeeeeeeasy)" written over the changes of "I Just Died In Your Arms".

 

I was the other way around, but reached the same conclusion. OMG, it's that annoying Mika who was once on Steve Jones' radio show about 15 years ago. Oh, hang on, he's speaking fluent French, must be a different Mika. Oh, turns out Mika is a ployglot. Now I really hate him.

 

I always look forward to Moldova’s entry. They ‘get’ Eurovision.

 

Ukraine wins for sure

 

They reminded me of a mixture of The Hooters and The Ramones!

 

There’s a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ about the Spanish entry. Visually quite pleasant.

 

Looks more like a Viking

 

Ok he used to own a record company but I didn't expect Richard Branson to represent the UK in the Eurovision song contest...

 

Hey, our song wasn't half bad. Reminds me of 'Every Saint Is A Sinner Too' by Rocco Di Luca & Slash.

Maybe our final score will make it into double figures this year.

 

All miming,nothing plugged in,might as well watch a Kiss concert.

 

The Serbian lass is overdressed tonight. Where’s the stockings from the vid?

 

Singing is live. I can't believe this needs to be pointed out every year.

 

I hope the hand washing lady wins,how mad can that be.

 

Then why is their mouths not working in coordination with the music?
