It's okay, I'm on dial up

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

iPlayer 30 seconds behind

 

[FetchFugly]

Their microphones are a bit LOUD

 

[straightorbroken]

Can't believe I'm finally going into Eurovision a complete virgin again after all these years.

 

[win_the_game]

No expense spared on these state of the art graphics.

 

[straightorbroken]

Fingers crossed for some, any, Alexia. Italy, don't let me and yourselves down.

 

[dzjermlaw]

Can't believe I'm finally going into Eurovision a complete virgin again after all these years.

I’m sure Eurovision will be gentle with you. Especially the Latvian and Bulgarian songs.

 

[straightorbroken]

I’m sure Eurovision will be gentle with you. Especially the Latvian and Bulgarian songs.

They'd better not be!

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

Christ the drone graphics look like something from 1999.

That’s good to know if the Queen does die on Saturday morning.

 

[lolly]

Who is this?

 

[RS]

Who is she?

 

[straightorbroken]

Was hoping the shiny silver ensemble was indeed going to be part 2 of the Alice Deejay comeback screaming "who needs guitars anyway?"

 

[Marina Salty]

Christ the drone graphics look like something from 1999.

To fit with this opening act

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

God the sun is a disaster.

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

BANGER!

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

Worst contest since 1989.

 

[lolly]

God the sun is a disaster.

What IS the sun? The semi circle behind the stage?

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

This is serving Corona "Baby Baby"... meets Fiona Apple meets Enigma?

 

[RS]

God the sun is a disaster.

It looks so… retro

 

[straightorbroken]

Turin's local theatre production of The Lion King not up to par.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

oh it went full on Lion King the musical!

 

[ButterTart]

Who are all these men dressed like Geese Howard from King of Fighters, and do they know the stage is leaking?

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

What IS the sun? The semi circle behind the stage?

The void black rainbow background that was supposed to be a 'kinetic sun' but couldn't work properly in time for each act, so is now a shit massive black void.

 

[lolly]

I hope this is more entertaining in the arena. It's doing nothing for me watching it on a TV.

 

[win_the_game]

Spot how many women there are in the audience.

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

 

[Ellie]

“ACTUAL MIKA”

 

[KNT]

Is this also the main intro to the final or are they saving something entertaining for the big night?

 

[straightorbroken]

2 annoying Mika's exist? Oh brother.

 

[RS]

What the fuck is Mika doing here? I hope he won’t be singing.

 

[wendy the Go_At]

So like Rylan, Mika doesn't have a surname

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

ooohh Laura Pausini

Hope she sings her US DANCE CHARTS #4 SMASH HIT Surrender later

 

[lolly]

Laura looks like a cross between Jessie J and Mystic Meg

 

[ButterTart]

Is the one in the middle her that did One Night’s Anger for Albania?
