France

Plodding.

Austria moonlight shadow rave style

Kern · **Posted:** Sat May 11, 2024 22:14

Austria

Party hits from the Crystal Dome!

It's excellent but spoiled slightly by the dumdedum stuff

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 26558

Armenia and Switzerland for me.

Kern · **Posted:** Sat May 11, 2024 22:16

So, in a normal competition it'd be Austria, Croatia, or Switzerland but it's Ireland night.

Malc · **Posted:** Sat May 11, 2024 22:21

I have Sweden, Estonia, UK AND Croatia in tied first with Serbia last

Family has Estonia 34/40 in first place and Serbia 4/20 in last.

Malc · **Posted:** Sat May 11, 2024 22:24

Bloody love this song!

Malc · **Posted:** Sat May 11, 2024 22:28

Ai fake out is very uncanny valley

Malc · **Posted:** Sat May 11, 2024 22:47

Looks like it's not a fake out

And somehow that was worse than last year.

Kern · **Posted:** Sat May 11, 2024 22:52

Getting Muppet Show vibes from that stage based green room

Kern · **Posted:** Sat May 11, 2024 22:52

Jury time...

Kern · **Posted:** Sat May 11, 2024 23:25

The left side of the screen remains possible...

Kern · **Posted:** Sat May 11, 2024 23:31

End of jury stage and we're there!
Left side = best side

Kern · **Posted:** Sat May 11, 2024 23:33

This split between jury and public votes really adds the tension.

Malc · **Posted:** Sat May 11, 2024 23:34

Tense

The zero for the UK followed immediately by the largest number of votes going to Israel was difficult to see.

Kern · **Posted:** Sat May 11, 2024 23:49

That's that for another year. A worthy winner.

Thanks everyone!

Looks like Ade Edmonson

It does.

It looked more like GazChap at other times, but I couldn't be bothered to scan back and forth for a better one.

Well, here’s a thing: the Armenian entry is singing in London tonight at a small and intimate location. My partner is Armenian and she’s just sent me a video of her daughter dancing on stage with the Eurovision lady.

So yeah. Beat that claim to fame, Beexers. Or don’t. Your choice.

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 26558

Nah, that’s unbeatable levels of fame.

Satsuma · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 14485

Don’t be jealous just because you don’t know someone who knows someone who stood next to the 8th placed finalist of Eurovision 2024.

Malc · **Posted:** Wed Jun 12, 2024 23:25

It certainly beats my claim of working with and hanging out with the 3rd place person in the competition to represent the UK about 17 years ago.

Actually my memory not so good here, it was 2002 and they got knocked out at the semifinal stage

It’s the Most Wonderful Night Of The Year tomorrow.

I miss Twitter for one thing only, and that’s Eurovision night.

Eurovision 2011 is lodged in my mind as a wonderful, wonderful night when I was having a rough time, buoyed along by Beex on Twitter.

For tomorrow we have ALL the snacks. It will be Bean’s second Eurovision marathon.

I miss smack talking the acts with everyone in social media. One of Elon’s worst crimes.

You have my axe.

Just came back from town with my Eurobeer (brewed in the UK), Belgian chocolate, and fizz (for the scoring)!

Ready for the most important day of the year!

The dilemma:

Do I watch Doctor Who as the lead up, or do I stick to tradition and watch Father Ted?

I found some special sectioned trays for Eurosnackums.

EBU ident... let's go!

Kern · **Posted:** Sat May 17, 2025 20:21

Norway

How can a song with so much pyro and a monolith be this dull?

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 26558

I thought Norway was great.

Kern · **Posted:** Sat May 17, 2025 20:26

Luxembourg

This is more like it!
Catchy tune and imaginative staging.

Kern · **Posted:** Sat May 17, 2025 20:30

Estonia

This has all the charm of a GCSE drama exam piece.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Sat May 17, 2025 20:31

Tommy Cash :blown:

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 26558

Tommy Cash wins already

Zardoz · **Posted:** Sat May 17, 2025 20:31

That was meant to be a :metul:

but it still stands

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 26558

Laughed the whole way through

Mr Russell · **Joined:** 6th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 12411

Tommy Cash por favore!

Mr Russell · **Joined:** 6th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 12411

Norway had a great start and a weak middle and end, and I loved Luxembourg. Reminded me of the doll from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Zardoz · **Posted:** Sat May 17, 2025 20:34

Isreal bringing the energy right down now…

Kern · **Posted:** Sat May 17, 2025 20:34

Israel

A song was sung.

Mr Russell · **Joined:** 6th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 12411

I can't even remember the Israeli entry already

Bobbyaro · **Joined:** 18th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 11925

Norway boring
Luxembourg okay
Estonia bonkers
Israel, singer has a nice voice. Song is boring

Bobbyaro · **Joined:** 18th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 11925

Think I'm a bit behind you folks
