Eurovision 2025

[Istar]

Just got in and caught the end of Italy. Did they get permission to dig Bowie up?

[Istar]

Oohhh, Mad Max: Beyond Polandome.

[KlaxonCow]

And Poland here feels a bit "viking" / Irish.

Like, what is going on this year with everyone doing some other country's style instead of their own?

[NorthWay]

Poland ...was better than you might have feared. Lacked a bit of shape to it; could have done with a catchy chorus.

[KlaxonCow]

We always have to excuse the Germans when singing in their own language, as it's just not an inherently sing-able language.

Too many consonants, not enough vowels to warble on.

So this one cheats a little by having her going "la-la-la-la-la" to allow her sing, rather than just do that German speak-singing that the language itself forces.

[Istar]

Germany very disappointing. Just nondescript Balalalollocks.

[NorthWay]

Germany delivers a solid modern up-tempo thing. (And in the national videos I thought she looked real nice... (yeah, I changed my mind a little now).)

[funkstar]

Intensity has dropped s bit, I gather. Pretty forgettable.

[NorthWay]

Not gonna lie, one of those presenters have some fantastic shoulders (and she knows , that's why she is wearing a dress that flaunts them).

[funkstar]

Greece does the Balkans.

[Istar]

Quite like Greece. Very moody.

[KlaxonCow]

Fastest costume change ever.

[NorthWay]

Greece does the balkan ballad/slow thing. Not feeling it.

[KlaxonCow]

Armenia with Wolverine on a treadmill.
