@Voltan I can imagine, not frightening out of costume at all

@TheBrandedSwordsman
Pretty good, thanks! I thought they were quite good. One of my favourites was actually Lithuania's entry.

@LieutenantFatman Did you hear about Kentaro Miura, creator of Berserk which in turn was the partial inspiration for elements of Dark Souls and Bloodborne?

@LieutenantFatman Were Lithuania the Right Said Fred guys 😂

@TheBrandedSwordsman
I did, sad times, that is a young age to go.

@nessisonett
The group in bright yellow. Not sure what their song was about but it was fun, lol.

Oh deary dear. The UK got zero points 😬

@nessisonett not that I’ve been watching... but from memory it’s pronounced ‘nil puar’ right 😉

@colonelkilgore Neel Pwah, and no that’s not the Dutch entry 😂

Have to say, gutted for San Marino but Italy weren’t too bad. Plus it’s something a little different so glad they won.

@nessisonett fair, that is a better pronunciation 👍

@LieutenantFatman You enjoyed the crazy facial expressions, finger action and dancing of Lithuania then? 🤣

@TheBrandedSwordsman
Hehe, certainly did.
Well deserved win by Italy. I think that was my favourite Eurovision so far.

@LieutenantFatman Indeed, I'd describe Italy's entry as 80s glam rock, right?

and here it is for anyone who missed it:

Hate Eurovison with a passion. Not just how crap it is but the voting is mostly political and not about which countries think is the best song.

@TheBrandedSwordsman
Seems like a good description to me.

@JohnnyShoulder
This year felt different. There were actually a few interesting songs this time round. And people actually voted for them. Hopefully a sign of things to come.

@JohnnyShoulder The voting really wasn’t political at all this year. Greece and Cyprus giving each other 12 points was about it and neither were close to winning. Every time we thought the votes would go to their neighbour, the countries would give their 12 points to France or Switzerland.

I watched the winning song. Decent guitar work but didn’t care for the singer.
The Finns were kinda cool but the song was 3 minutes long and I felt like it overstayed its welcome after 2 (too many choruses).
Any others I should check out?

Meanwhile, it’s vinyl bath day over here 😄

@Voltan Did the Finnish song remind you of Linkin Park as well? They had a DJ, 2 vocalists and everything.

@TheBrandedSwordsman A little bit but the chorus was a different style. Something familiar as well but I can’t put my finger on it 😉
