    What a cardboard box entry

    So far the showmanship is very disappointing. Not even a stupid hat to be seen.

    I feel like I could write better lyrics

    Aah, commentator just said this will sound like Nickleback

    THANKYOU BELARUS

    naked man with wolf who turns into smoke is what Eurovision is all about.

    Maybe next year the stage itself will take the stage. It sure is the most entertaining part so far.

    Belarus is generally pretty good at this, I feel

    I'm inordinately fond of this one from five years back:

    It's also how I learned to pronounce Belarus!

    Ireland sounds like every single "new sounds" generic pop song on Spotify. But every time they win it half-bankrupts the country, so I can understand trying to fly under the radar.

    I'm enjoying Macedonia's "Come check out our thrift shops!" promo-vid.

    edit: but I feel like their actual song would be vastly improved by adding, well, almost anything to the stage.

    Everyone is going cheap this year. "Let's just get one person up there with a microphone. Good enough."

    double edit: jesus, went half an octave out of her actual range at the end

    I'm increasingly disappointed at the physically static nature of the acts this far. I don't expect the actual singers to do much, but is a random trapeze artist too much to ask for?

  • honoverehonovere Registered User regular
    That didn't sound bad at all.

    it was actually an ok song! Though kinda odd that even the english-speaking countries feel the need to adhere to the eurovision tradition of weird pronunciations of perfectly ordinary english words.

    ok Ukraine is the first one with non-generic-ballad lyrics.

    They're slightly alarming lyrics, but that's fine.

    edit: I want Ukraine to win just because a bummer of a song about people dying, complete with visual rivers of blood, would be a nice change of scene.

    double edit: tree is cool!
