Eurovision Hot 100: Semi-final 8! RESULTS @ 1:10(ish)

[ButterTart]

I can’t really be arsed!

Oh you were more than happy to join in when you wanted me to entertain you last Friday night but the second I want something...

2 many in here

 

[Lucille]

I’ll make NOTES tonight, I can never remember them all a week (or 12 hours) later.

 

[Lucille]

I sent in my Tischvision votes if it makes you feel better.

 

[Soldi]

I’ll make NOTES tonight, I can never remember them all a week (or 12 hours) later.

I always make a shortlist on the night then instantly delete anything that didn‘t make the drunken cut the next day

 

[ButterTart]

@Raining On Me is here

 

[ButterTart]

I sent in my Tischvision votes if it makes you feel better.

It doesn’t, but at least you won’t have Tisch’s suicide on your conscience as well.

 

[Raining on Me]

Done!

Can't wait for the penguin song to beat Euphoria

 

[RJN]

Seriously what is Lucille doing nowadays besides hanging around HACKNEY BINS looking for rough trade?

Shower
Do Laundry,
Vote in Euro-100
Buy Wine
Buy lottery ticket
Build boxes

 

[ButterTart]

These last two sets of votes have been game changers.
Still time for @Lucille to vote, otherwise the results will be starting as soon as I’ve made my dinner, probably about ten past 1.

 

[Soldi]

Oh no I’ll be at Asda

 

[GinAg (39)]

I'll be out alas, I do have expectations and am happy to revert to form and break the anti bullying policy if I don't get my way.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I feel egregious at the prospect of running one tonight.

 

[ButterTart]

[ButterTart]

First of all, let's address the Alexandra Burke in the room (Which is an expression I heard while in prison in America and really wanted to introduce to the UK).

 

[ButterTart]

Finalists 1 to 4 are so shockingly obvious there's literally no point building any kind of suspense:

And as I post that, we announce the qualification of something that isn't a song.

 

[ButterTart]

And who the hell is our NINTH qualifier?

Spoiler: MAN ALIVE!

2008 Sirusho - Qélé, Qélé Armenia

 

[ButterTart]

And as I post that, we announce the qualification of something that isn't a song.

Now now, the lift music from whatever shed the 1995 contest was held in is a perfectly valid choice.
