kat_lairHave wine, fluffy socks, sleepy kittens and the cracktastic eurowreck of a "song" contest on the telly. Awesome. Come talk to me about the ridic outfits and incmprehensible choreography (oh please let there be naked fiddlers) if you're watching live. Or come talk to me about any random things. What's awesome in your life at the moment flist?
EDITING AS I WATCH:
- GAY PROLETARIAT MIMES! ...Oh wait, it's a circus theme IGEDDIT. Lol hotpants...
- aaaaand we have stripping... ahaha, unsuccesfull. Wind machine! AND YES, 5 MINUTES IN AND THE HOMOEROTIC ANGEL IMAGERY IS PRESENT AND ACCOUNTED FOR. WIN!
- UK and Finland back to back right at the end. I have no idea about either of the songs. I WANT TO BE SPOILER FREE FOR THE TRAUMA, OKAY!
- Oh Baltic countries, bless you and your quality English. Lol Lithuania was charming me until the palm-flame appeared.
- It will never not amuse me how Israel has apparently relocated to Europe. On the other hand, bonus points for hot outfits and vaguely sapphic overtones.
- And France pulls out Patricia Kaas. Good effort.
- Um Sweden? Thanks for waking the cats up.
- I love how usually between the countries you have like a little advert thing from the host country. In these times of recession Russia has just invested in a hot chick and a wind machine... Well, that could work.
- Oh hey, at least the Croatian couple sings in Croatian. But what's with the slow Tai Chi hand movements? Boring.
- Portugal! Yeah! This is making me grin! The singer is a normal sized and pretty an there's plenty of colours. And an accordion! What more do you need?
- Iceland's entry has all the hallmarks of a pop ballad. Almost-catchy chorus. Could be found on a cheap Valentine's Day collection.
- Graham's coffee table joke just made me think of Brendon. *bleaches brain*
- Ahahahahahahahahahaha! I don't care how flat your tummy is Sakis, you're too old to be flashing your belly button like that.
- ... Armenian dominatrices move in a pack? Incidentally, what do you call a group of dominatrices? A whip? "A whip dominatrices prowled the street..." Has a nice ring to it right?
- The Russian contestant looks about ready to burst into tears.Uh WTF she's ageing on the screen? Freaky sfx is freaky.
- Azerbaijan finally brings some ridic outfits and a campy older male singer unconvincingly grinding with a much younger and undertalented female partner. It's the spirit of Eurovision right there. And he playes banjo too.
- Bosnia & Herzegovina, I am digging the military style jackets. The singer looks a little like poor man's Sharpe. And there's the wind machine again... What is it about that? Was it like compulsory?
- Why are only the women showing leg? Where are all the scantily clad androgynous pretty boys?
- Moldova is... perky? And Malta was... forgettable.
- Estonia's answer to Apocalyptica? Still, I quite like this tune.
- Danish entry... written by Ronan Keating. Sung by Ronan Keating lookalike? Oh boys, no amount of leather pants, chains or jingly bracelets will make you a rock band when you're performing a Ronan Keating song. That long-haired guitarist is a playing in a different band. Possibly also on drugs judging by his happy smile.
- GERMANY! SILVER PANTS, CAMPY SINGER AND MARILYN MANSON'S EX WIFE (nice crop she has)! *is sold like woah ...also hypnotized by those pants. so sparkly* Ahahaha yeah, there's the gratuitous display of toned male chest.
- Turkey's entry sounds and looks like every other Turkish entry ever. Points for harem pants? Oh hello, and the fit male dancer. *approves*
- Albania brings the implied tentacle!porn? Or is it alien!porn? In any way there is some inappropriate touching going on. ...In fact, I'm kind of disturbed by the whole outfit...
- AH THERE'S THE FIDDLER \o/ And he's a cutie. Though sadly clothed. Still, Norway's entry is both catchy and comes with men in suspenders.-
- And Ukraine receives the prize for the "jaw drop moment of the evening"... There are gladiators? And um, she drums? It's, uh, a little traumatizing. As are her breasts.
- Romania goes with "under the sea" theme? I've already forgotten about the song... Oh but hello, so girl-touching. Maybe it's supposed to be like nymphs frolicking in the woods or something, idk.
- UK... Andrew Lloyd Webber actually dragged his wrinkly ass on to the stage to play the piano himself? I have to be honest here and say this it the first time I've heard this supposed wonder hit of his? Um... very West End? The girl has a good voice? Will it make a difference on the voting? Probably not. Eurovision has never really been about the talent.
- Wheeeeeeeeee Finland! Ahahahahahahaha Waldo's People???. Really? I was dancing to this group at the fucking school disco, seriously? Oh. My. Fucking. God. *stares mutely* Um, the dancer boys with the burning sticks were pretty in eyeliner?
- Spain... Meh. Take me, shake me? Really? Um, yeah, not this time chica.
- They have cosmonauts opening the phone lines!!! Oh how so ridiculously awesome, Eurovision?
- Um, water sliding? Can't decide if that's hilarious or a little creepy?
Aaaand Norway's won (aaaaw, the pretty singer boy is crying now), Finland's last - I'm unsurprised by either of these points. However, the fact that UK made it to the top five for the first time in... what, must be a while now? is actually pretty mind-boggling. Andrew Lloyd Webber will be celebrating with his cabana boys tonight.
I am drunk and going to bed. Good night to you all. *stumbles upstairs*
