Germany could've sent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnzkhQsmSag, but the NDR opted for boring pop instead. I wish for Germany to get UK'd.

I remember that Germany's entry last year was really bad, but I think I've successfully blocked out all specifics of it from my memory. It was something about not caring about being cyber bullied or something? I remember I thought it was unfair that we got nul points and that song got points, even if not very many. Our song was bad but Germany's was worse.

Nah, qualifying from the semifinals is easy enough that I don't think it has mattered a lot. However, winning the whole thing as the opening act of the final is probably a different story.

Yeah, if all things are equal then, according to statistics, the first lot has the hardest struggle to be remembered when voting starts. But all performances are not equal (duh). People will still remember the songs that differ from others and appeal to their tastes or politics or whatever.

Imagine the online drama if the Ukrainian entry comes first with the public, but not with the juries - and then that costs them the win. I don't expect that'll happen (2015 is pretty much the only time the jury favourite won when it wasn't also the public favourite, I think) but it'd be explosive if it did.

 I've had to change the voting portal a bit this year, was having issues validating user entered names. You now get a randomly generated one from a short list of references with a number, like you're some kind of filthy Twitter user. Feel free to mess about with http://crucialweb.net/eurovision today, I'll reset everything before the semi final tomorrow. I just wanna see if there's anything that'll break it before then. e: also happy to add suggested names into the pool, I just did a handful that came to mind quickly.

I think Albania's is my favourite this year, that music video is wild. Not sure why the UK is suddenly a favourite to win this year. It's still as generic as ever.

I've briefly listened to all of tomorrow's songs, and I'm ready to give my expert opinion as someone who has listened to several musics over the years. 12 points - Ukraine: folk hip hop isn't my genre, but I'll do what I must to piss off the Russians. 10 points - Bulgaria: rock song with some good hooks, which I can appreciate. 8 points - Denmark: switches it up by transitioning from what you think is going to be another boring ballad into an up-tempo rock song. I can appreciate that. 7 points - Netherlands: the song honestly isn't that great, but I'm going to be chauvinistic with this one, and give it points just for being in Dutch. 6 points - Austria: an energetic techno song. Not too bad for what it is. 5 points - Iceland: this song is a bit boring, but I like the pretty blonde ladies. 4 points - Slovenia: with a title like that I was expecting to hate it, but honestly, it's not terrible. 3 points - Albania: mediocre R&B, but the video for it has some interesting visuals. 2 points - Lithuania: here's where it starts to get a little arbitrary. I guess of the remaining songs, this one annoyed me the least. Also, I think Lithuanian is an interesting language. 1 point - Portugal: I do not hate this song. Dishonorable mentions (0 points): Latvia & Norway: annoying meme songs. Moldova: grating, irritating song, though I have to give some credit for originality, as the theme appears to be the reunification of Moldova and Romania. Switzerland: boring ballad, and negative points for contradicting The Cure.

Oh poo poo, this snuck up on me fast. A storm earlier in the year took down our TV aerial but we never really watch live terrestrial broadcasts since the TV has BBC iPlayer built-in along with all the other streaming services. But based on past Eurovisions the iPlayer stream is ridiculously delayed so I guess I'm spending tomorrow attempting to jury rig an aerial to receive Freeview.

Wrageowrapper posted:Once again Moldova is best in show. It's such a pity that they wont make it past the semis. Moldova always shows up with a Peak Moldova entry and I will always love them for it. France is an absolute banger but I love Heimatærde and the ilk. Give me all the weird pre-Christian tribal Europe techno (sans the weird neo-Nazi bands they can fuckoff). I don't expect it to do amazingly though, too "French." Armenia, Ukraine, and Cyprus are solidly listenable. Australia's is interesting. I am sure some boring pop or ballad will win.

Ah it's that time again. Time for all of Europe to gather together and ask "What the gently caress, Britain?" fake edit: haven't heard a single song beforehand. saving that for the actual show, but as with many, many years before, I'm saving my free slot in my bingo card for "UK fucks it up, again"

The jury has never added anything of value to Eurovision, and without Russia in the mix, there’s no point to their existence. gently caress the jury.
