Buckwheat Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I missed the beginning, but am now safely in front of the screen. Do we have some chatroom this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindwalker Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) Austria had some nice ideas and tried something different. I think I liked Spain best so far. France second. Loreen's aesthetics and poses always remind me of very early Kate Bush. Which is a good thing. No idea ab a chatroom Edited May 13, 2023 by Mindwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindwalker Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) Oh, Albania! When I first saw you I was hoping for for some Eastern power folk drama of the good old Eurovision times... alas. Italy is kind of sweet. He's selling it. Estonia: great vloice. Song is growing on me. Finland: It's fine. I'm not as impressed as everyone else. Particularly the cha cha cha part. Extra points for original costume though Czechia: lovely voices, nice chorus Edited May 13, 2023 by Mindwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Moldova looks like it is performing some kind of a shamanic ritual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindwalker Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) This is the Eurovision of interesting choruses and generic rest-of-song. Moldova: mostly boring Ukraine: nice but not my cup of tea. UK - wait no, who was that? (ETA: Norway) great beginning... Yeah, I like it. It's fun. Also great costume. Germany: They're trying. Quite trying. Actually, not as bad as I feared. Pretentious lyrics. UK: boring I'm almost caught up. It's a weaker year. But fun shall now commence (to quote Seven of Nine), with the best part of it!

Buckwheat Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I cannot believe this, but my country actually has one of the better songs. Something I can believe is going to play on the radio and on parties for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, your forum name fooled me. Slovenia dudes poured all their heart/ soul out. The Switzerland singer was quite nervous, I think otherwise he's got a beautiful voice. France, marry me? Loreen, ditto. My vote for worst act: Serbia Runners-up: Germany, Australia, Moldova OK, NOW the fun begins! I don't like the main host very much.

Mindwalker Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) Oy, this might not be a thrilling race... No douze points for France yet?! The allure of Israel's song must have eluded me. Edited May 13, 2023 by Mindwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckwheat Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I am sorry, but Slovenia deserved better. I literally don't understand the public vote either. Seriously, Norway and the Ukraine on top now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindwalker Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) I protest on behalf of France. Evidemment! Also, the way they award points nowadays has taken all the suspense away. Spain, wtf?! They got even less public votes than Germany or Australia! Talk about the lowest common denominator...

Ran Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 Sverige! Sverige! Sad for La Zarra, thought she knocked it out of the park.. Three Nordic countries in the top 5. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartofice Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Second to the last for the UK… piss off! Actually I do kind of understand it. I think it’s a really good tune, I heard it on the radio the other day and thought it was far too well produced to be on the standard pop station. I’ve listened to it loads and I really like it, something I have never said about a UK entry before, even Sam Ryder. Maybe that is part of the problem, it’s very British. It is cynical, the lyrics don’t translate, the attitude is all wrong for the contest which celebrates overblown emotion rather than slightly nasty resentment. Its a song that works really well in the UK charts, but not in a Eurovision Song Contest where there are plenty of similar kinds of songs and this didn’t stand out. Oh well. Sweden were deserved winners though, almost everyone else was rubbish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
