2025 Eurovision Semi 1 - Espresso Macchiato Por Favore

[Finnice]

Composed bt Werner Tomas, what? Not Tonas Verner, this bird song?

 

[Ananas Astra]

Nice, another Spanish hooker. That is actually on our Eurovision bingo cards we are going to smash on Saturday.

 

[PRlady]

There are third rate singers in the tackiest Vegas lounges who can sing better than this.

 

[sus2850]

not only is Estonia one of the most fun, he officiates ladies' roller derby? I love this "I have rickets" dance

He was made to go to the Swiss Roller Derby as part of the introductions of things and places that are very Swiss.

 

[Ananas Astra]

Now I want Swiss fondue.

 

[sus2850]

An unfortunare ending pose for Spain…

 

[Hanna]

No idea what Ukraine was but loved it, my fave so far. Properly artsy!

 

[sus2850]

Ukraine is a bit stuck in the Seventies

 

[Garden Kitty]

So far I can't really think of any of these songs I'd want to play in my car on a road trip

 

[Ananas Astra]

And now on to the future winners. Love Sweden this year so much!

I was thinking 80’s power suit with shoulder pads

 

[Hanna]

"Sweden" best, of course ? It's just too groovy!

 

[sus2850]

Sweden is very efficient. And it works. I like the counting in Finnish best

 

[Garden Kitty]

Sweden is the first one to really make me smile. I liked it.

 

[Ananas Astra]

I think they belong to a Finnish-speaking minority in Sweden and speak some language-mix. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I’m still waiting for someone who can sing. It’s like they’re all rejects from The Voice.

 

[Ananas Astra]

Portugal's John Lennon is boring, although he is kinda good-looking.

 

[Ananas Astra]

"Kyle Alessandro" is the most Norwegian name I have ever heard. Right after Alexander Rybak.

 

[Matryeshka]

The kiddies say Portugal are a let down, though a strong minority like "the vibes". They are now talking about forming a band and writing a song about Fondue. They are going to represent Bulgaria. They are divided on what language to sing in. They definitely want Tommy Cash as their back up dancer--their only back up dancer.

 

[miffy]

I’m assuming Norway sounds better when not sung live as he seems really flat/off key in places which is a shame as it’s quite catchy.

 

[Hanna]

I think they belong to a Finnish-speaking minority in Sweden and speak some language-mix. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

It's the other way around, they are Finns from a Swedish-speaking area in Finland called Vörå. The Värå dialect of Swedish is quite unique.

 

[Finnice]

You are mostly right. They basically speak an odd dialect of Swedish, and the song includes some Finnish words, like 1-2-3 in Finnish, sauna, and the swearword "perkele".

 

[Hanna]

Norway beat was catchy!

 

[Ananas Astra]

Who is this Sam Smith-wannabe from Belgium?

 

[Finnice]

Where is @TAHbKA ? She should be here complaining about the contestant's singing skills?

That's what I thought initially, thx for the clarification.

 

[Ananas Astra]

Italy is kinda boring for Italian standards.

 

[Matryeshka]

Comments so far on Belgium:
"Is this a social experiment?"

"MS MATRY THIS IS A CATHOLIC SCHOOL AND THIS IS NOT APPROPRIATE." Equally emphatic response from another student: "LOBSTER PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS APPROPRIATE"

"This is Sam Smith's fever dream"

"Japanese kids are having sympathetic spasms."

"Can we go back to the fondue?"

"Ms Matry why can't we watch Moana instead?"

I’m a poor substitute but I’m trying.

 

[my little pony]

the song in the Suits LA ad we just got is catchier than a couple of these
