Eurovision Song Contest 2024 #2

[InkHeart]

Thoughts: why does one of those twins look 18 and the other 36?

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

Oh no he sounds awful

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

Why the fuck was there a furry clutching an Israeli flag and crying?

Can we do thread title nominations on this thread? Cos

 

[Asgyui]

is this mark lambert from the chase

 

[EnoughAlready]

Absolutely not Ireland, this ain’t no Katrina and the waves

English translation
We’re not drug addicts we haven’t done anything
The dresses on our backs are from a the trash
Police Chronicle have raided our cottage
The only bag on our table is green Lay’s

We’re not drug addicts we haven’t done anything
The dresses on our backs are from the trash
Police Chronicle have raided our cottage
Men in uniforms are visiting I’m totally fine

(Uhh yeah)
Listen to that now
We’ll get it going
You’ll hear us tonight
But take that bag away

I don’t know drugs I know soda and cider
I wouldn’t tell the difference between vitamin and speed

Listen to that now
We’ll get it going
You’ll hear us tonight
But take that bag away

Clouds and mushrooms – where are your filaments
You turn my body on like a kitchen stove

Ducklings are small, but poppies are so tall
We avoid drugs, let’s leave that for the rich
Here early in the morning and crow like roosters
These sad-looking people took my candies away

We avoid drugs just because we’re not rich
In the backroom of our farm there are only IPAs on the table
Sunglasses to hide the pupils… oh no yeah just for fun
Seeing through everything, those who are in the front row

Shut up and I haven’t done it
Although the dance has been going only around me here yea
Shut up and I haven’t seen anything
Although the dance has been going only around me here yea

Listen to that now
We’ll get it going
You’ll hear us tonight
But take that bag away

I don’t know drugs I know soda and cider
I wouldn’t tell the difference between vitamin and speed

Listen to that now
We’ll get it going
You’ll hear us tonight
But take that bag away

Clouds and mushrooms – where are your filaments
You turn my body on like а kitchen ѕtove

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

What the hell was Graham listening too?

 

[Scragbags]

Well this is going well already

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

I was expecting Bambie to go more rogue than “love will always triumph hate”

 

[AlwightDallin]

My family is huge on Eurovision. Every year we have a watch party with foods tailored to the host nation it’s camp and fun and we love it (and totally accept it’s like marmite!). We were honoured to be in Liverpool last year which oh my word was amazing, one of the best days ever.

This year feels strange. I feel awful almost expecting it to kick off, and to be honest would have preferred Israel to not have qualified (nothing against the poor young singer) due to the tension, security concerns and obvious political voting likely to spoil a relatively lighthearted night.

Now this with the Netherlands, it’s unheard of. So much drama

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

That isn’t cheering is it?

 

[DanDanTheIceCreamMan]

Oh I think the audience are managing to get past the anti booing tech (oh and the sound disappears)

 

[Merpedy]

Can they play a recording? Could they secretly record it now and then play it come regular time for example? Something will def go down otherwise

Well during the recap for France at the family show they used the performance from a previous rehearsal - though I think someone would have to fact check that's normally not the case anyway??

They're working with a delay so something could be done I guess?

Statement from the Dutch broadcaster

What is it with not respecting people's wishes not to be filmed this year???

 

[DanDanTheIceCreamMan]

I would love Terry wogan to be back. He was amazing.

many of you won’t be familiar but we have another bitchy NI man Julian Simmons who used to do the intro to coronation street in Northern Ireland and he was the best sniper ever. I feel like he should present Eurovision as you would all love it
---

Post it please! You know I am full team Estonia so I need to see this!

There we go...

 

[Scragbags]

Judging the song on its own, boring af

 

[simplithebEST]

I would need an Estonian recipe for next year, so it's a 'no' from me unless some Estonian Tattler appears so I can get some guidance from them.
---

Marty Whelan (Irish commentator) started out referring to the Swiss entry as 'he' until some producer in his earpiece obviously corrected him and then he was saying 'they' as much as humanly possible

Hi! Estonian tattler here (I’m from Estonia, living in Ireland since 2005)

 

[Justmechan23]

My social group find it funny that I look forward to Eurovision every year but it’s my guilty pleasure and I don’t care wish I had a Eurovision party I could attend

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

They shouldn't have let Israel in it

They shouldn’t, Russia wasn’t allowed to compete last year. Surely they must have known they’d be backlash.

 

[bubbadabut]

Accomplished performance. She did well. Cant be easy to perform under those circumstances.

 

[Scotch Mist]

The UK though. Ouch.

Honestly think the UK will be in the bottom 5 tonight so that's probably about right

I'm getting very tired of all the silly protesters now. If you don't want to watch, then off you go.

The people who are representing their countries acting childishly are simply handing Israel more fuel and a sympathy vote. In my view its extremely unprofessional for presenters and performers to act like bullying kids in a playground looking for virtue points amongst the gang. Participate in a decent way or don't take part.
