Seat68 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 This year the greatest of all competitions isn’t competing. That said the song contest is being shown without the competitiveness. Everyone gets a participation certificate. So tomorrow on BBC1 from 8 we get to revel in the sounds of europe minus the scoring. This is the highlight of my year.

VT Supporter mjmooney Posted May 15, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted May 15, 2020 My daughter assured me that Iceland's entry would have been the runaway winner. I checked it out. It was shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhatAboutTheFinish Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I’m disappointed that there is no voting. I am sure that at a time when tens of thousands are dying globally of viral related pulmonary disorders, the UK’s entry, My Last Breath, would have been a big hit! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re waiting for the next Bob Dylan or Neil Young, it’s not going to happen. It’s euro pop with a knowing nod to all things camp. Slightly 80’s synth pop appears to be having a bit of a revival, the last gig I went to before lockdown would have slotted in really well within Eurovision. Don’t over analyse it, just let your foot tap to it. You really need to watch the Russian one, game changer for them. They were booed a couple of years ago for their anti gay sensibilities. I think this shows not all Russians are nasty bastards. Free your mind and your ass will follow, as some bloke once said. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Those Russians are the same ‘band’ who did that skibidee tune a few years ago........it’s basically the same sounding shite with the same daft dance routine. Amazes me that there are people out there to which this constitutes good music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 The best "song" I heard on that was that Lordi tune with the Norwegian (I think) trolls. They rocked 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm waiting for the next ABBA. 80s synth pop is probably my most despised musical style after hip hop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 For me its a show, would I buy any, well I bought the Common Linnets album but on the whole, no I would not but I like it for what it is. Chris summed it up, you get what it says on the tin, the camper the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
