If someone wants to hear Graham Norton snarks away here is a pretty good free stream for BBC1 (just deactivate your Adblocker if you're using one) https://www.firstonetv.net/Live/United-Kingdom/BBC-One--4

 

[Nmsis]

Good evening Europe, good (early) morning Australia.

 

[Jenya]

In case anyone is wondering why Eleni Fouriera is the perfect Eurovision contestant, she did a Greek language version of "Golden Boy" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COhxgZCqZWk

"I'm a golden boy" apparently translates into "he takes me to God" in Greek by the way

 

[Hanna]

Happy Eurovision everyone! Wheeee we have a watch party here chez Finnice!

 

[cocotaffy]

Not very crowded the thread for now. I hope many will join to cheer and snark. Happy Eurovision to all

Is this new, kind of like olympic opening? With flags? Kind of takes away the surprise for the many casual viewers who did not hear/see anthing in advance.

 

[Nmsis]

Lots of stripped shirts on the flagwaving sailors.
Suddenly I'm wondering how many european navies use strips beside France. (trivial pursuit question)

 

[MarieM]

I will take some of those vikings with me. Don't worry, I won't make them sick

 

[cocotaffy]

Is this new, kind of like olympic opening?

According to Graham Norton, yes it is and was introduced because the show is otherwise too short

 

[Lara]

Let the contest begin

 

[Jenya]

Ukraine always brings the WTF, I'm still not over the piano coffin from the semi

 

[beepbeep]

Oh yass, it's a mild sunny day here and I actually went out with friends. So I'm late.

On the plus side, I'm already drunk and I have mom's caregiver here for the day.
Bring in the cheese!

 

[Nmsis]

Pianos are vampires' new coffins. Who knew ?

 

[my little pony]

the coffin or whatever he came out of was the best thing about Ukraine

 

[MarieM]

I think I love his fake eye.

Err they have been doing it for the last five years.

 

[Aerobicidal]

To paraphrase Homer Simpson, I like my Eurovision flaming.

 

[sweetsparky]

Ukraine homage to Coppola´s Dracula (now with a piano) pure Eurovision moment.

 

[taz'smum]

I'm watching for the first time in years! Wheee seems fun!

Happy Eurovision

 

[Lara]

You asked for Eurovision, you got Eurovision. Great start!

I hope Spain does well.

 

[Nmsis]

Yes ! Burn him !
And use the Belarus rose-arrow to stab his heart !


He did ok actually for an opening.

 

[Jenya]

Okay, I'd rather see the flaming piano coffin than whatever this is

 

[my little pony]

everything about Spain makes me angry

 

[cocotaffy]

Err they have been doing it for the last five years.

well god damned I never noticed Spain is a snooze fest time for a drink already.

 

[Jenya]

As I just said to @Loves_Shizuka Spain is the Tessa and Scott of Eurovision and I don't mean that as a compliment

 

[Aerobicidal]

The only thing that could redeem this Spanish performance is Conchita Wurst storming the stage and punching their smug smiles off.

 

[MsZem]

Oh yass, it's a mild sunny day here and I actually went out with friends. So I'm late.

On the plus side, I'm already drunk and I have mom's caregiver here for the day.
Bring in the cheese!

I appreciate your Eurovision-appropriate pic, as always.

 

[Nmsis]

Drawning in spanish schmaltz.

 

[sweetsparky]

everything about Spain makes me angry

A strong effect for such an über sugared song. Interesting.
