Eurovision 2017
-
Eurovsion 2017 was last week/weekend. 42 countries were represented. 2 semi finals of 18 countries each, of which 10 made it through to the final, to join the big 6 who automatically qualify (UK, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, and the host country (Ukraine)
As usual there was the usual mix of ballads, duets, bands, and just weird acts. The weird ones are the most fun, so here are those, plus a couple of others:
Hands down, the best song was the rap/yodel mashup from Romania. Plus hot blonde singer, plus cannons. I've listened to this a few times since, it gets better...
Every year, Eurovision has 4-5 duets. Croatia had a duet with a difference this year - only one singer
Italy had a pretty good song, with backing from what looked like The Wiggles, plus a dancing gorilla because, well, Eurovision...
Moldova had Epic Sax Guy
Azerbaijan had someone standing on a ladder wearing a suit, with a horse head
Estonia did not make it out of the semi finals, but was actually a pretty good duet, and the guy had the best intense stares of the contest...
Belgium is the song I thought was going to win (does Blanche ever smile?)
But the winner was Portugal

@JK said in Eurovision 2017:
So why the fark are Australia in it?
They invited Aussie 2 years ago for the 50th anniversary, and just like unwelcome Aussie relatives, they were invited for a short stay and never left...

Because Australians have a weird obsession with Eurovision (and ABBA) and asked to join in.
Ffs Australia . Really ?

Just to clarify whether or not I should watch the video, when you said cannons after hot blonde you meant....?

They should have asked the Aborigines for advice.

Hang on. I just realised that @Stockcar86 actually followed this shit avidly.
WTF? Is this some kind of kink that I'm not attuned to?

This is one of the kinks that I will admit to in a public forum...

A couple of years ago Poland won the public vote, but didn't win overall because 1/2 the voting points come from music professional panels from each country. Appealing for the lowest common denominator almost worked. See from 55 seconds in...

Would have got my vote, the song sucks though.

I started watching in 2014. Italy would have got all my votes that year
