In the meantime here’s a plan of how the Eurovision Year goes.

Look after your Eurovision Fan pals, PED will be kicking in early this week…

@jess EU fans can avoid withdrawal by joining the fandom. 26 days to go, 27 countries, lots of far-right villains to defeat, 6 to 9 of June you get to give 0 points to fash trash, and LOADS of

Another year, another Eurovision. Here follows an increasingly inebriated series of shit-posts as I cover the most contentious contest in years.

I really wish they'd change these map graphics, as it looks like all the contestant notions are exchanging tit for tat nuclear strikes.

Portugal's song doesn't know what it's doing, but as the chanteuse says, peace will prevail... Eventually.

Armenia is quite wry and knowing, which is precisely what you normally want during Eurovision. They're practically fighting off the urge to give us a sly wink.

A jolly, jaunty tune. It's DOOOOOOMED.

Cyprus' entry is originally from Australia. She should at least have the decency to have a mullet and a digeridoo.

It's a good performance and a song that actually seems to know where it wants to go. (Unlike some previous songs tonight.)

I suspect Cyprus will do really well this year. After all, nothing contentious has ever happened in Cyprus!

Switzerland was a fluffy bore.

The host is plugging the Eurovision album and DVD, but you're not allowed to play the Dutch track. Your hi-fi will explode.

The runestone gag was tepid.

Will we be 'raving' about Slovenia's 'Raiven'? At the moment, it looks like she's playing Twister with her dancers, some of whom have turned up in their y-fronts.

And so, Croatia, with a song about 'Lasagna'. He'd better be painted in orange and hate Mondays.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

Croatia's effort is like Rammstein having a fight with some New Romantics.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

That's a lot of doilies.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

Ooh, that was good! Croatia is precisely the sort of act that gets fucked over by the juries, though.

Georgia sounds and looks a lot like a sort of gestalt of every generic mid-tempo Eurovision power ballad.

Slimane is, apparently, huge in France. But he looks of average height here.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

High drama, as Slimane serenades the cameraman.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

Now he's singing at his microphone, but at a distance.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

Slimane was technically very good, but that alone doesn't win zip.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

And finally, Austria. Dressed for both a disco and a blizzard. OK, but nothing you haven't heard or seen before.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

And that's it for this year's song contest/international incident. How are you all voting? I have a witch to crown.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

It's all over now, bar the voting and the jury scandal.

@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

Is it possible to desecrate your own corpse while still alive? The 'Abbatars' seem to prove it is possible. Good to see Conchita Wurst back, through. A legitimate star, like Abba themselves.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

Here comes the Jury Vote, and the booing.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

Here comes the public vote...

I wonder what the Netherlands would have got? Anyway, night-night!
