Eurovision 2023

[Istar]

Albania being classically Albanian. Not my cup of tea. Love the Princess Ardala costume though.

[KlaxonCow]

Not sure what the trampolines in the background are for.

[Dio]

I was just noting the lack of Blake's Seven costumes this year when two outfits from Flash turn up in a row.

[venusian]

What a lovely knitted vest.

And I've seen that trampoline routine on the interwebs.

It's quite a nice sound though. I approve.

[Istar]

Italy is definitely The Deep.

[NorthWay]

I could swear I heard a few stolen musical phrases in the Italy number. Next.

[KlaxonCow]

That shirt doesn't look like it's be pleasant to wear. Looks itchy to me.

[Istar]

Estonia confirming that this is the Year of The Anodyne Ballad.

[KlaxonCow]

This seems like the one to ask this question on, but have they changed the staging rules?

Because I've noticed that there's less folks on stage this year. Like, is there some "no extraneous people on stage, please" rule this time?

In this case, to keep the person count to just one, the piano plays itself.

[NorthWay]

Estonia reminds me something stupid of what I think is a Norwegian song by a female singer-songwriter, but I just can't remember who.

[venusian]

Estonia sounds nice. The chorus isn't quite enough though.

[Istar]

Finland.

Ah, Finland.

I love you, you mad fucks.

[KlaxonCow]

What?!?

[NorthWay]

Hm. I just put NOK10,- on Finland. Party level through the roof.

[funkstar]

Wut.

(Also, nice Human Centipede.)
