Good luck Imri 🤘

Less than six hours guys!

 

[RocknRola]

You may be too hyped for this my friend

 

[hobblygobbly]

Well with UK and Spain hopefully we (Germany) don't come last again lol even though I think our own song is really boring.

 

[Red Arremer]

Let's be real here, the only contestants for dead last are Spain, Cyprus and Australia.

Germany won't come last, and UK won't be behind Germany either. I wouldn't be surprised if Germany got bottom 5 though.

I think you meant Austria

Good luck Imri 🤘

I don't think he'll get much far, but he should consider going bare chested to the finals if he wants to get a few more votes.

 

[Lovely Salsa]

So which is the favourite to win this year? This year has been tough as all songs are pure shit

Cant believe how much better Melodifestivalen is

 

[Tugatrix]

I hope our little gollum bring the victory home, do it Salvador the destiny is calling:

"Salvador Sobral, the Eder of singing "

I don't know man. We got some nice diversity going on this year with Hungary, Belarus, Romania and Portugal. Melodifestivalen is just the same thing over and over again and if you're not samey enough

Spoiler

JUSTICE FOR LOREEN JUSTICE FOR STATEMENTS

you get sorted out.

Sweden this year is just pfff.

Sweden is always a bit pff after winning recently. We can't host it too often, need to save up some money first!

I see they are keeping up with memes. Though I still found the one with the pope funnier and also a "salvador daqui, salvador dali" picture

Even the FPF (Portugal's Football Federation) is in on it lol

 

[Violet_0]

(and before you bring up Germany and Switzerland voting in the semi Austria was in: Historically, the German countries never voted for each other very much - Germany even gave 0 points to Austria when it won!)

this is true, and goes the other way around as well. Every time a German song receives 0 points, Austrians start to laugh manically and shout "Cordoobaaa!" into the night

 

[checkeredknight]

I don't care if the UK does well or not, but no-one is going to vote us because of the Brexit shambles. Not even sure why they're bothering, can only watch it and cringe.

 

[chadskin]

 

[dgdas9]

Just curious, does the EBU have anything to do with Radio Free Europe? That'd prove interesting if true...

(Also, notice how Portugal isn't on the list, it'll be our first time...)

No they don't.

 

[Atram]

By the way I'm Portuguese

Edit: and it's my birthday xD

It's a little-known fact that winning Eurovision undoes Article 50.

This is high-stakes.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

She looks so proud of her dance moves at the end

 

[Kuntz]

Reading GAF while watching is 70% of the fun of Eurovision.
I'm ready.

 

[Xater]

The show starts in little over an hour, so I'll share the Eurovision Discord one more time. Quote to reveal.



Edit: This is the one Dutch Slayer mentioned.

 

[FortuneFaded]

Only watched a few of the opening songs of the first semi-final so I'm going into this mostly fresh.

Is this the same as Dutch Slayer talked about?

Yes, sir.

 

[DiddysKongQuest]

I got my snacks and my alcohol 🐍

 

[DiddysKongQuest]

[Shahadan]

I should have bought booze

 

[Resident_UA]

What's the best place to watch this in English with the commentary in good quality? Would BBC iPlayer on PC show it in HD?

The German Pre-Show 💀

I'm skipping it this year.

 

[pswii60]

I hope you're not suggesting the votes could be political and not based only on the song!?

 

[DiddysKongQuest]

I'm skipping it this year.

Barbara Schöneberger is as unbearable as always haha

 

[TCRS]

got my tea, coke and crisps. ready for a cringey evening.

 

[Spyware]

The Swedish pre-show is sufficiently corny. I'm def getting into the right Eurovision mood from it. ;P

 

[Jasup]

I hope you're not suggesting the votes could be political and not based only on the song!?

It's only political when you don't do well. Only if your song does well are the votes based on the song.

 

[oti]

I wonder what it's like in Hamburg. I never went. It's not so far away from me but to be standing in the the rain for several hours doesn't sound like much fun. 🤔

 

[Apzu]

I guess we'll have a slow start this final, it will only get eurovisiony with armenia.

It's only political when you don't do well. Only if your song does well are the votes based on the song.

That explains all the british complaining about it being political.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I'm so excited.
Eurovision is the best worst best

The official streaming didn't use to have commentaries, but I can't watch it this year to confirm if there's any or not.

The official YT stream does not have commentary beyond the actual hosts talking.

It's probably pretty awesome during the real show. Hamburg in general is a fantastic city with cool people.

I liked watching the official stream, those were the days.

 

[Milchmann]

I'm skipping it this year.

But you just missed Helene Fischer.

 

[oti]

But you just missed Helene Fischer.

I just launched the stream. Instant regret.

 

[brokenbeans]

My body is ready

Let's get this party started.
