    Speaking of goats, judging by the preview video I really, really hope Montenegro manages to smuggle that donkey on stage.

    The song will reach a low point about half way through, the lights will go dark, then the Donkey will slowly rise out of the floor in middle of the stage. It is dressed in gold finery.

    The Judges are unimpressed, they expected it to be shooting fireworks.

    I got a kinda Ingrid Michaelson-ish vibe from their entry, which I considered a Very Good Thing! But again, I knew it was far too low-key to get voters riled up.

    Also I should actually listen to this year's entries at some point. Maybe later tonight.

    As someone from Sweden.
    I think this is the first time in a couple of years that I haven't been completely embarrassed by our contribution.

    Switzerland was lovely last year and they were last, it was a crime. They were so cheerful!

    Almost manic, but at least they don't go down the path of trying to be grim and serious and proper because then it's just depressingly dull

    Finland won this for all years by getting a metal band to the top of the tournament.
    Moldova holds second place in my heart.

    The sound is a little over processed for my taste and the dance needs work, but love the ethereal quality of her vocals.

    Of course, they'll need to spice it up for the semi's, maybe airlift Yngwie Malmsteen in playing a solo that in no way meshes with the rest of the song.

    Eurovision is the only reason my family moved from that southern tip of Africa, we wanted to be part of the magic.

    Yeah, I've now heard that song once, and it will quite possibly never completely leave my head.

    This is not a good thing.

    Hey Munkus, if you want to come visit the UK I'm sure we can time it right so we could all watch Eurovision together!

    Golly gosh. Make it a thing. Put all the things I just do not understand about your culture and slap it together into a hodge podge of misunderstandings.

    Okay! I am looking forward to showing you around our lovely continent, and I am glad about how enthusiastic you are!


    Mmm true, Legba, true!

    I look forward to getting upset over your biscuits.

    When the despotic leader of your country riggs the election, you get to spend the funds which would be wasted counting votes on training professional mooks to win a silly competition.
