2018 Eurovision Grand Final Live Thread - We Got The Pyros (Ah yeah ah yeah ah yeah, yeah ah yeah ah yeah)

[Lara]

Fun time! Lol, instant Eurovision classic and 1978 (my birth year) flashback per the commentator.

 

[cocotaffy]

Moldova

 

[my little pony]

im really enjoying Moldova or they've worn me down

 

[Nmsis]

The scenography is everything for the moldovans.
But it's only half the pleasure. The best thing is actually to look behind the scene which is a hoot.

 

[beepbeep]

Weird beard gay Russian guy knows his way around Eurovision.

Moldova is so cheesy and so proper Eurovision.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

My investment in this competition is the best represented by the fact that I am looking at Moldova's number and thinking "looks like what TAHbKA's mom would put into the walls of the bathroom "

But this song is fun, I like Balkan beat. And on this stage my on key demands are really low.

 

[Jenya]

Thank god for Moldova, that Balkan beat makes me so nostalgic and is catchy as hell

 

[Madhatter]

Yep Moldova goes on my vote-for list!

 

[Lorac]

Moldova

 

[jamesy]

The cheese on this is fantastic.

 

[TAHbKA]

I loved Moldova

 

[Aerobicidal]

I think it's kind of brilliant that Benjamin Ingrosso is making cheese in his postcard video. It's probably unintentional but so Eurovision! Too bad his song is not an enjoyable type of cheese.

 

[TAHbKA]

I wonder about the monitors on the stage - yet another singer who is out of the rhythm. Can they even hear the music?

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Sweden is such a esp. after Moldova

 

[beepbeep]

The Mans staging has not left Sweden since.

Too bad he's not Mans.

 

[my little pony]

I think I would like Sweden if the singer wasn't such a used car salesman

 

[Jenya]

Sweden has been watching too many Justin Bieber videos, he has all the mannerisms down

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I wonder about the monitors on the stage - yet another singer who is out of the rhythm. Can they even hear the music?

OMG you know the things are bad when TAHbKA is complaining about RHYTHM.

 

[allezfred]

Benjamin Ingrosso is one of the Swedish Kardashians apparently.

 

[beepbeep]

Man, I had money saved and had researched plane ticktes and hotels, I should be partying wiht the colonizers...

 

[Lorac]

Hungary is even worse than it was the other night - dreadful!!!

 

[cocotaffy]

Hungary is even worse than it was the other night - dreadful!!!

The classic Axl Rose mistake, destroying your voice with champagne.

 

[TAHbKA]

WTF is that, Hungary??? They really should have decided on the key BEFORE going on the stage.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

The Hungarians appropriately take the Toth Award for the most not blah music.

He really shouldn't have sang though. He is dreadful even my hard rock standards.

 

[beepbeep]

Hungary was good when it meant that yet another ballad wasn't getting into the final.

Why the feck do I still like this sh!tshow???

 

[TAHbKA]

And the group goes modulation, the soloist doesn't... Key is for the weak!

 

[my little pony]

I feel like Hungary wrote this to play over really loud neighbors

 

[TAHbKA]

Ah, so how many notes out of 3 will Netta hit today?

 

[MarieM]

I think I have grown to like that polish song.

Now is the big ? for me. How can this song be that popular live? I get the studio version, but the live is meh

 

[Madhatter]

Swedish song was fun for the first 50 seconds then got boring.

And now Hungary!

I love how at Eurovision they can go ftom Bregovicesque cheese to Bieber-slash-Petshop Boys to trashy screamo metal.
