torkellYes, I do still have a blog despite having not posted since um... last year 😅. But it's now May, which means it's time for me to once again ramble on at Eurovision! And it's here in England!
And who knows, maybe I'll actually start blogging again having finally gotten round to writing something...
Wait, there's a Scouse commentary?
Anyway, so we begin with an all-star remix of last year's winner - and if you pick the right train, you'll be sucked into Liverpool! Specifically, into the Eurovision stage on top of a giant pair of hands?
The flag parade seems to now be a regular thing... though every few countries they interrupt it with a previous Ukranian performer. Queen Jadis is back with her Narnia forest... as is Verka, of course!
This year's postcard trick: drones with 360-degree cameras! Reminds me of the British Gas adverts of all things.
1. Austria: our cloning machine for backing dancers may have worked too well
2. Portugal: sass deployed. Quite a catchy song
3. Switzerland: 4-way - no, 5-way tug of war! Wait, are they launching fireworks downwards into the floor?
4. Poland: we found the video effects machine!
5. Serbia: very eldritch sci-fi. Shades of Doctor Who, or maybe Alien, with a side order of Mortal Kombat? Whatever show this is I want to know more
6. France: classy
Interlude: quick montage from the semi-finals... including Subwoolfer confusing everyone 😅
7. Cyprus: Health and Safety allowed flamethrowers but vetoed the waterfall?
8. Spain: the mysterious cult has found... the fog machine!
Interlude: Subwoolfer are back!
9. Sweden: Ghost in the Shell... in the desert?
Interlude: download our app! Please!
10. Albania: I don't know what boss battle this is for but it's an epic one
11. Italy: shadow dancers with a trampoline?
12. Estonia: surely a self-playing piano is cheating
13. Finland: warning: box contains Eurovision contestants and dangerous amounts of rainbows
14. Czechia: we're not your dolls
15. Australia: we're on a road trip all the way from down under - complete with epic drummer headbanging! This could be another boss battle soundtrack, this time with shades of the Astral Chain soundtrack
16. Belgium: What.
Interlude: Graham Norton's secret Eurovison DVD collectionn
17. Armenia: impressive. I was trying to work out how she's done it - it's front projection, but this time on an angled screen.
18. Moldova: another mysterious cult, summoning... something
19. Ukraine: more post-apocalyptic eldritch sci-fi, with a side-order of goth
20. Norway: and more boss battle soundtracks! Oddly, something about the tune for the chorus puts me in mind of the Mr Fantastic Fox film - the town battle near the end
21. Germany: Moldova's summoning ring succeeded. Bring on the guitars!
22. Lithuania: we've successfully banished whatever Moldova summoned. We think.
23. Israel: where's my unicorn!
24. Slovenia: welcome to club Carpe Diem
25. Croatia: what is this I don't even...
26. United Kingdom: we want to make it clear that we wrote a song
So Albania, Australia and Norway are providing the music for the boss battles while Serbia are in an actual boss battle, and Moldova's eldritch summoning succeeded. Whatever film/series/game this is the soundtrack for I want to know more.
