Eurovision Top 100 - Semi 5 - RESULTS NOW!

[Raining on Me]

Hello Moopers and Moopets! I'm sure after the onslaught of Eurovision related activity this weekend that made us all smile and not at all angry towards certain nations (Norway was always too expensive, so fuck 'em), we're just GAGGING for more....right?

Well you're in luck, or an eternal nightmare depending on your stance, as we have another fine collection of Euro classics coming your way! Spanning...*counts*...many decades...we have another 52 songs for you to ridicule, swoon over and just get jolly excited or annoyed with before voting for your TOP 18 to progress through to the next round.

Expect ethno balladry and bops, top drawer Eurodance and pop numbers, some all time classics and some, well...other interesting choices.

Playlist will be up about 7.50 ish, ready to press play at 8PM!

Tits out for Sweden, knives out for Norway!

Yay!

I'd say tonight is a mix of HIDDEN DEPTHS and FULL BALLS BANGERS

 

[Dark Carnival]

OMG YAY!!

 

[GinAg (39)]

Half way through tonight's show marks the HALF WAY POINT of the semis.

 

[Lucille]

Only halfway through the SEMIS! Someone PASS ME THE PIPE!

 

[GinAg (39)]

I'll also say the opening track is one I've discovered very recently and is a bit of a LOST GEM (in my life anyway).

 

[Raining on Me]

Initially I didn't think it was a CLASSIC semi, but actually there's a whole wealth of gems.

 

[Raining on Me]

I've checked the playlist several times but I'm still not convinced there won't be any fuck ups and Honey To The Bee won't start playing halfway through the 80s or something. If so, LUCKY YOU

 

[GinAg (39)]

Initially I didn't think it was a CLASSIC semi, but actually there's a whole wealth of gems.

My lack of familiarity with song and artists names, means I often have NO IDEA what to expect! Just hope there's not too much from SOME QUEENS.

 

[Raining on Me]

Hot STAT CHAT anyone?

We have:

6 WINNERS
3 RUNNER-UPS
16 OTHER TOP 10s
9 NON-QUALIFIERs

...and a LAST PLACE that really does demand an explanation.

...and a LAST PLACE that really does demand an explanation.

 

[Raining on Me]

Oh and of course the only stat that matters:

2 acts....DEAD!

 

[Dark Carnival]

Omg hoping it’s Ramedios Amaya

edit - omg last place not DEAD!

 

[COB]

Do we have a rough running time for the playlist? I'm in desperate need of sleep so MIGHT duck out before the end if it's a long one

I'm not sure if playlists can give you the info, but I'd assume it's around the same as the others have been at 52 songs around 3 minutes each (though some videos have their country intro so are a tad longer - nothing over 4 minutes obviously, I don't think).

I guess we'll be done around half 10....ish?

 

[Lucille]

Why you sleep deprived babes? Did someone have a HEAVY COB SESSION last night?

 

[COB]

If you'd ever tried to have a go on a giraffe you'd understand

 

[ZenGiraffe]

If you'd ever tried to have a go on a giraffe you'd understand

Spoiler: Not for those of a sensitive disposition

 

[Raining on Me]

If I'm ever on the market again, definitely going down the animal route after that revelation.

Oxen look like right beefy daddies

*To stay on topic, there is at least one beefy daddy tonight, I think

 

[GinAg (39)]

LESS THAN TWO HOURS!

 

[GinAg (39)]

.

SPOILER THIS PLEASE

 

[Dark Carnival]

omg

 

[Soldi]

 

[ZenGiraffe]

SPOILER THIS PLEASE

 

[GinAg (39)]

cheers!

 

[ButterTart]

...and a LAST PLACE that really does demand an explanation.

If it's Lose Control by Waldo's People then I'm right there with you.

 

[ButterTart]

Spoiler: Not for those of a sensitive disposition

GO ON LAD!

 

[GinAg (39)]

GOOD NEWS

Only one win_the_game song!

 

[ButterTart]

GOOD NEWS

Only one win_the_game song!

Even from beyond the grave, we still feel the touch of his boundless evil.

 

[Raining on Me]

I can confirm there will be a VISUAL element to proceedings

Well, there will be if I can guarantee it doesn't fuck the pages up among many other problems. Who knew a simple task would have so many obstacles

 

[Raining on Me]

Half hour to go, ish!

I imagine I'll be using all my willpower to keep in time with posting the song titles in line with the playlist, so might not respond to posts etc

 

[GinAg (39)]

SEXICTED

 

[Raining on Me]

Playlist in first post! Praying it works!

Again, only press play at 8

It works!

 

[Raining on Me]

Thank the Gods, aka the Swedes!

 

[Lucille]

HIYA GIRLS

 

[GinAg (39)]

God I really have only just discovered the first song recently and have been playing Danish covers of 1960s standards as a result.

 

[Tisch]

You might want to put the playlist in another post as well @Raining On Me in case the Live Thread takes away the first post.

Also, EXCITED!

 

[Raining on Me]

In some instances I wasn't sure what video to go with, hopefully that won't cause problems. You'll get the gist of the song surely!
