2020...2021 Eurovision - Let's Go Dutch!

[mjb52]

I had actually watched the first half of whichever semi I am doing way back in mid March but I don't know how much I will remember because one of the things I noticed was how everything seemed the same! A lot of homogenized American style pop by my lights and not enough rude Euro voids!!! There were a couple that stood out but... which ones? I should have taken notes.

This is Eurovision 2019, but KeiiNo doing Hatrið mun sigra for Eurovision is totally worth watching:

KEiiNO - hatrið mun sigra (HATARI - ESC 2019) acoustic cover

We were challenged by the public to make our version of Icelands ESC-finalist HATARI for the Eurovision Home Concert #4. And so we did.. As we don't speak Ic...

The acoustic version Spirit in the Sky is also fabulous, of course.

 

[Finnice]

Voted. I think the level was good!

Voting is open today until 6pm GMT so if you haven’t voted there’s still time!

Tonight would have been the night of the Grand Final.

Anyone else going to watch the special programme tonight?

 

[Hanna]

I actually ended up liking quite a few of the songs and would've wanted to give points to more than 10 songs.

that we don't get to see all of these performed with the full stage show tonight.

 

[shah]

I'm getting prepared - wine and snacks are ready!

Had a bit of a testy moment at What’s Another Year? ?

 

[SHARPIE]

Crying loads so far, especially at the “Love Shine a Light” montage

Can I post more 2019-adjacent content? Because Klemens from Hatari singing Arcade is... not what I expected:

I just got here for Ein Bischen Friede. It is cheesy and I cry.

 

[MsZem]

Tu Te Reconnaîtras will always be the best Eurovision song. Always.

 

[Finnice]

Tu Te Reconnaîtras will always be the best Eurovision song. Always.

I just love it. And the Finnish cover was my fave in my horrible teens.

 

[SHARPIE]

Fantastic from Bjorn, “ You were a Pop star grand dad? “


Waaaah! ????

I don’t know what coverage you guys all got, but from the British Judge....


May love shine a light on you all

I remember that night we won in 1997 ? I was over a friend’s place with my then husband, we were all like “Yeah, nice song” and then went back chatting shite.

But I fondly look back on that voting scenario...It was even better than your favourite sports team winning!

Friend of mine told me he waS in Berlin in 2010, when Lena won and he will never forget it . (He’s American )

"Love Shine a Light" together was a definite highlight of the evening. The show was a tad depressing, but the times in which we're living right now are far from optimistic...

@allezfred, thank you for organising our ESC once more. It was fun to see scores of some kind in this scoreless year - a shout-out to @Hanna, my emo fellow who also gave douze points to Bulgaria .
