2018 Eurovision Semi 1 Live Thread - Happy Hunger Gaymes!

[beepbeep]

WTF is this Czech entry?

Feels like a Czech Macklemore
WTF is right.

I like it

 

[cocotaffy]

This schoolbagography should be patented, it's so precious.

 

[DimaToe]

What is it with all Czech men being adult film worthy?

...I really enjoyed this

 

[Aerobicidal]

OMG the Czech entry! Horrifying lyrics, backpackography, '90s streetwear fantasy styling, nonexistent songwriting . . . and the guy is ridiculously hot. THIS is Eurovision.

 

[Jenya]

Do you remember the name of the blonde Albanian Barbie lookalike singer who performed with a troupe of creepy break-dancing mimes years ago? I've been trying to find that vid on YT but no luck....

The one who had the Gumby lookalike backup dancer? Must be Kejsi Tola from 2009?

 

[Aerobicidal]

I would to see Tomas Verner to do an EX to this CZE song.

I want Tarasova and Morosov to skate to it! The uncensored lyrics are MUCH more inappropriate than "Candyman."

The one who had the Gumby lookalike backup dancer? Must be Kejsi Tola from 2009?

I love it. Only in a Eurovision context could a description of Barbie singing with Gumby as a backup dancer could be recognizable as a musical performance from Albania.

 

[MsZem]

I would to see Tomas Verner to do an EX to this CZE song.

I would like to see Tomas Verner.

Am not choosy about the music.

 

[nimi]

Okay, this one is the first one this far that I actively dislike.

Sorry Lithuania, you deserve better.

 

[Finnice]

After CZE, Lithuania is boring. I hate this whispery singing.

 

[cocotaffy]

Oh my she just can't sing Holograms are creepy too.

 

[Aerobicidal]

If you can't sing as well as Adam Rippon, get out of Lisbon!

 

[DimaToe]

Well the end was sweet....seriously though Lithuania has to be my least favorite Eurovision country. I don't think I've ever liked any song that they've sent.

Oooh thanks!

*off to search YT*

ETA: Oh yes!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6Ori4A4ATo

 

[Aerobicidal]

Albania is "pure rock and roll" in the same way that Elton John is pure heterosexuality.

 

[cocotaffy]

Come on chicken girl, rock the stage !

 

[MarieM]

Netta ... OMG I loved the song before I heard her sing live. Disaster.

 

[beepbeep]

Oh, now this is Eurovision

 

[Lara]

I still don't really get it...

But it's definitely Eurovision lol.

 

[DimaToe]

Israel isn't winning. It was always going to be a big ask to live up to the greatness of the music video.

 

[MarieM]

She doesn't sing in tune for 7/8 of the song.

 

[nimi]

Haven't heard the studio version but I assume it sounds better than this.

But she does have a stage presence.

 

[cocotaffy]

Never forget, this should have been the official version

 

[Finnice]

Netta!

 

[Jenya]

Belarus with the single red rose

Israel grew on me as it went on

 

[Aerobicidal]

This guy from Belarus has a really complex relationship with that rose.

 

[Finnice]

Belarus looks creepy and sounds like a pot of porridge.

 

[cocotaffy]

Netta had a case of Blanche from Belgium last year, the live version not living up to the video.

 

[DimaToe]

Belarus bringing the Cezar/Jaques Houdek realness (well without the crazy good voice )

 

[Aerobicidal]

Belarus looks creepy and sounds like a pot of porridge.

And the fact that I could pull off wearing leather pants better than him is a real sign his wardrobe people should be fired.

 

[cocotaffy]

We've reached a new low. What the heck was that gross scar on his back
