Eurovision 2014

[Vamp]

I like Ukraine's song but the staging undermines how good it is. Hungary seemed one of the stronger, more dramatic and catchier songs of the night. Unsure about Sweden, it's very good but seems to lack a certain something for me. It just does grab me as much as impress me. Holland was alright but struck me as a Josh Ritter song if he couldn't sing and had a strange taste in hats.

I liked Portugal and thought that might sneak through but oh well. The mummy song and the cake song can both gladly bugger off.

[Lineker]

Did Russia actually get booed when they were announced as finalists then? If so that is fantastic.

[Vamp]

That was after Kasper from Borgen had a nice little dig at Russia too.

I might be a lil' biased here when I say this but the Dutch performed the best yesterday, easily. It's a great song but unfortunately not a Eurovision type of song (i.e. upbeat).

I wouldn't be shocked if the Netherlands got top 5. They'll probably get a handy position now they're in the second half of the final, and it's probably the best stage performance by the looks of it.

[Berober]

Every time I hear the Netherlands' song, I love it more and more, and will be pleased if they do well

[Walker]

It is certainly much better as performed than it was in the studio. Thought it was so-so when I heard the song on YouTube pre-semis.

Great live though. It could definitely win if the stars align, but I'd still rate Ukraine's and Sweden's chances higher.

[Katsuya]

The Danes love their dance routines, huh?

[Katsuya]

Fuck me Mei just absolutely killed it.

[Berober]

And then Carl absolutely bottled it.

[Katsuya]

TITS!

[Katsuya]

Oh my god. Conchita.

That may have been the loudest cheer I've ever heard for a Eurovision act.

[Berober]

Conchita just nailed that. No doubt.

[Katsuya]

Erm this is awkward...

[Chael P. Sonnen]

Can I just say

Might be my favorite Eurovision song ever apart from the gorgeous Lena <3

[Katsuya]

THANK FUCK.

But Mei! and fucking Belarus? Ugh.

[GoGo Yubari]

If Conchita Wurst doesn't finish above that Robin Thicke aping dumbshit Belarus garbage then I am judging the entire continent of Europe and finding it LACKING. Ireland should have made it through instead of that shit.

[Katsuya]

Dutch TV have apparently said that Belarus showed a black screen instead of showing Conchita, which would be an instant DQ.

[Walker]

Disappointed Ireland didn't go through. Their best entry in a long time.

[Katsuya]

The UK will perform 26th and last.

Netherlands are 24th, Sweden 13th, Austria 11th.

Game on.
