Eurovision 2023

[NorthWay]

Cyprus. Next. Getting dinner.

[Istar]

Cyprus can sing, but it's an unmemorable song.

[KlaxonCow]

That's a D#4 to an F4, according to my vocal analysis tool. Impressive.

But, yeah, not much of a song. Just a vehicle to show off that he can hit the high notes, basically.

[venusian]

Spain is not good an cosplay crafting. The wrinkles in that breastplate!

[Istar]

Spain sounding like a herd of cats on heat.

[Dio]

I have no idea why but I thought that was great. Weird, and yes, weird hint of Game Of Thrones about the costume. Might do well in the juries, will be a disaster in the public vote.

[KlaxonCow]

Bit boring there, Spain.

Although, I just noticed, watching that, that the stage is a bit phallic. Catwalk with rounded "head" at the end.

[funkstar]

Subwoolfer cameo.

[NorthWay]

Spain. Well. Eating. Next,

[NorthWay]

Nice one from Sweden. Her previous one was better though.

[venusian]

There no shortage of post-apocalyptic themes this year.

Or is a wearing a stormtooper's underwear?

[funkstar]

The Swedes know how to write pop, but we’ve heard this one before, surely?

[Istar]

Sweden utterly failing to live up to the hype. Usually in my top 5 in any given year, but that was dreadful.

[Dio]

I thought that was pretty weak. We've seen at least two better tonight already.

[NorthWay]

Something East-European. Getting all the votes from their neighbours. Probably. And not many else.
