Bring it on!
Anyone else getting Queen vibes from the rhythm of the intro? We will we will rock you~ - which feels appropriate given last year's winners. And now we've moved inside, but apparently we can only use one set of lights at a time? The red song seems oddly Ghost in the Shell esque with the visors and gloves.
The flag parade is new, though I'm slightly concerned that the backing dancers all appear to be wearing full goggles and fire suits. Are they expecting the light pole things to spontaneously combust?
This year's postcard theme: ridiculously cute drones with lasers!
1. Czech Republic: We use the power of retro synths and all the lights to destroy statues or something?
2. Romania: Very red.
3. Portugal: Our eldritch summoning ring has mastered summoning... fog!
4. Finland: A band I've actually heard of! I didn't know they were still going - I first came across The Rasmus back in 6th Form. Anyway, hold on tightly to your balloon so you can engage in balloon-to-balloon combat!
5. Switzerland: Aww.
Interlude: terrible dad jokes
6. France: Another ritual summoning... for gangnam style techno beats?
7. Norway: What is this madness I don't even
8. Armenia: If we cover the exit with post-its then maybe no-one will find it?
Interlude: don't worry, we've got a sign language interpreter for the dad jokes!
9. Italy: My song! No, my song!
10. Spain: Very sparkly
11. Netherlands: Aww.
12. Ukraine: Yet more ritual summoning, this time succeeding at summoning breakdancing rappers!
Interlude: the first rule of the green room is you don't talk about the green room
13. Germany: Fine, I'll perform the entire song on my own.
14. Lithuania: Very retro.
15. Azerbaijan: Watch where you aim your emotional breakdown!
16. Belgium: Meh
Interlude: please like and subscribe and buy our stuff
17. Greece: Phew, found the one chair that hasn't melted.
18.Iceland: Surprise country and western entry!
19. Moldova: Hey, ho, let's dance! I've missed this brand of Eurovision madness
20. Sweden: Another emotional breakdown?
Interlude: the green room's not safe for the presenters!
21. Australia: Delivering wisdom of the ancients from the bottom of the stairs?
Interlude: we've snuck in an extra
22. United Kingdom: We searched the universe and found an electric guitar!
Interlude: hey, ho, let's dance! And apparently forget which countries are taking part?
23. Poland: Oops, I seem to have summoned sea monsters!
24. Serbia: Our ritual summoning follows all health and safety guidance
25. Estonia: I'm here for the guitar duel - where's my opponent?
So, to recap: Portugal, France, Ukraine, Poland and Serbia are competing for the best ritual summoning, several artists seem to have had some sort of emotional breakdown, Moldova are bringing the barn dance, and Norway are bringing complete and utter madness. My favourites from the night are Moldova, France, and Estonia.
