[Music] Eurovision Song Contest 2023 ***Official Thread & Sweepstake***

[Igzilla]

Moldova is my song in the sweepstake. Jesus wept.

 

[Frutos]

It's Salford 1 Stockport 0 in added time.

Have I missed anything on Eurovision?
How long until the scoring starts?

About 6 months, if past years are anything to go by.

Moldova dounds uncannily like last years winner Ukraine ?

Greece and Cyprus are giving 12 to each other

I can’t take any more, I’ll check and see if Cyprus won in the morning

 

[Molango's visa]

Not heard this before...oh here we go. This is mint. I'm IN. Australia I meant. Distracted by food.

 

[Frutos]

Not this year, Greece aren't in the Final.

 

[Triggaaar]

Sweden: She's won before, is a big Eurovision star and her song has already had 55 million views. It doesn't feel in the spirit of Eurovision.

Lots of half decent efforts, better than most years. Serbia crap, Finland great.

Greece didn't make the final

Feels like Ukraine could have saved themselves a lot of hassle by just chanting “f*** off Putin” for three minutes, probably be more popular too

 

[Molango's visa]

Ukraine disappointing.

 

[A1X]

I am enjoying the ident theme of “Ukraine thing, British thing; competing country thing”

 

[Igzilla]

Ukraine disappointing.

Trying not to win

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Ukraine disappointing.

They'll win again because of the sympathy vote

 

[A1X]

Norway tonight represented by Penny Mourdant

 

[Igzilla]

Norway tonight represented by Penny Mourdant

I keep expecting her to sing something from Six

 

[Bozza]

Ukraine disappointing.

Very much so.

Third favourite in the betting market but lightning (sympathy vote) won’t strike twice.

 

[Molango's visa]

Norway could also do with a witch house remix. Tremendous chorus. However

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

This Norwegian entry reminds me of some of the european prog / power metal songs around.

 

[SuperFurrySeagull]

Yep, actually quite liked that Ukraine one; will happily vote for that (& the NSC sweepstake riches can be mine!!). Anything that doesn't have to rely on shouting & wind machines & quirky gimmicks. Or am I missing the point..?
