That was close, but we managed to avoid an electro-swing winner for another year. God bless.

I thought this was a fun video to have a look at

His right hand looks like he is just clenching his fist, other hand not right next to his nose…and he looks like he is still far from the table…
Unless he has some scarface mound of coke in front of him he doesn’t look like he is snorting coke to me.

I think UK was the only country to give a dodgy vocal performance, the verses in particular were bad. Reckon that’s the reason for the zero. Song itself was probably one of the better ones imo. And you can print that.

The Guardian described Switzerland as Sam Smith-like. Chuckled at first at the unnecessarily brutal comparison but it’s actually pretty close isn’t it?

No

I think viewed in isolation, the head-duck is inconclusive, but the gum-chewing and gurning throughout the entire evening?

Me when Kathy from accounts asks me to do a big task at work on Friday 20 May 2022

ahhh. yeah, don’t remember him making an appearance. was he on eurovision?

Did we lose any potential Eurovision classics from last year? What were you other favs? Was it as strong a group of songs as this year?

Quite a few! I think this year was stronger overall so we have covid to thank for that, but there was some great tunes. Iceland and Ukraine of course. The Roop’s song was better last year as was Victoria’s, Benny Cristo’s and Efendi’s. Little Big from Russia was a smash. We missed out on Germany being decent, and Diodato from Italy which is one of the most rousing ballads we’ve had for years (didn’t think much to it on first listen but it’s a huge grower)

I’d be happy with anywhere really, though Naples would be v fun

Would be well well up for trying to go next year but the demand will be off the charts won’t it?

How much is a semi final ticket usually?
