The backing singers just sad to be there.

 

[Dark Carnival]

omg

 

[dmlaw]

This whole show has been highly enjoyable so far.

 

[ButterTart]

Were any of tonight's backing singers told beforehand that they'd be on television? They all look like they were abducted from a working men's club.

 

[ButterTart]

Cheeky bit of sideboob.

Somewhere in Kansas, a young Katrina Leskanich has lifted her face out of a lesbian periodical and taken collar inspiration.

 

[Madíson]

LAZY

 

[dmlaw]

You do suspect that someone may have told the Greek singer that vertical stripes were slimming at some point in the past.

 

[Zu]

Liked George

Is she not wearing a bra?

 

[Dark Carnival]

I love me some nice tambourine action

 

[lolly]

This is just a Greek Jack In The Box. I hope Clodagh took legal action.

[ButterTart]

Nice to see the Birmingham Six had something to fall back on besides blowing up pubs.

 

[lolly]

Best Eurovision knitwear ever

 

[Madíson]

This is one of Kalabaliken's top ten favourite entries.

 

[ButterTart]

I'm not one to speak ill of guitars, but this one is a marked step down from everything else so far.

 

[GinAg (39)]

70s fashion really is inexplicable.

 

[lolly]

Actually, are they wearing cords?

That's my autumn/winter 20/21 sorted right there

I'm not sure if Penelope's tranquillisers have worn off yet, so we'll just have to guess.

 

[Dark Carnival]

I'M JUST A HOLE SIR!

 

[ButterTart]

The Current Yugoslavian Republic of Yugoslavia here, looking a bit like Biblical Power Rangers.

 

[dmlaw]

Well, this certainly has stuck a broom handle between the spokes of the bicycle wheel of the contest.

Neither of the last two songs has done anything to rehabilitate guitars in the eyes of the average Euro fan.

Fun fact: one of these women is the mother of teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg.

 

[ButterTart]

Quite good, this one.
