Song Contest Part XXII, Host: WABulldog, Theme: What/If, Noms Due: Monday 9pm AEDT

[Dinsdale]

7 people yet to vote, how embarrassing if they do a me and send their votes in 1 minute before the deadline.

 

[por_please_ya]

Has it started?


SHITS!

I better record future eps and watch on YouTube.

I’m running late on both fronts.

I do want to know one thing Porps.

Who are the hosts?

Yes it has! I think Semi-Final 1 will be on free to air on Friday, but should already be on SBS On Demand. I think they go up on On Demand couple of hours after the live show in the morning.

The Australian hosts are Myf Warhurst and Joel Creasey again.

Swedish hosts? Petra Mede <3 and Malin Åkerman.

Swedish hosts? Petra Mede <3 and Malin Åkerman.

Thank you Porps.

FWIW, I think of Myf and Joel*** as more the commentators than the actual hosts much like how Graham Norton and Terry Wogan were UK's commentators.

***Still miss Sam and Julia's take on it.

 

[Chipmunk]

Thank you Porps.

Not an uncommon view apparently!

We have just Graham Norton now for the Final, but Rylan and Scott for the semis. Graham is very good still.

Those days were golden.
Sam and Julia, and Terry Wogan still around.
Used to laugh so much.

Oh, the drinking games!

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Rylan and Scott for the semis.

WAIT!

Is there a succession plan over in Blighty?

 

[Chipmunk]

WAIT!

Is there a succession plan over in Blighty?

Nah, I just think the BBC wants to save money

Oh yeah haha I misinterpreted lol

And yep, I bloody loved Julia and Sam! And listening to Julia speak French with French-speaking contestants they just had a great way of engaging with the singers more than Myf and Joel...

Listened to the non-live Eurovision songs and if it was a SC votes would be -

5. Estonia
4. Norway
3. Slovenia
2. Ireland
1. Armenia

Billy. Finland.

HM's - Austria, Australia, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Georgia, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Moldova, San Marino, Serbia, Spain, Ukraine and the UK

Rating - 7/10 it was fun, the countries above in particular. If you're not a fan of cookie-cutter dance pop I wouldn't recommend though as there's plenty (I'm a fan of the genre obvi).

The staging of Finland was one of the best so it shows the power of a good performance!

 

[Riviat]

 

[Raveneyes]

...and I don't even have a song in this round

 

[Ulahoopski]

The staging of Finland was one of the best so it shows the power of a good performance!

Safe to assume the "host" isn't Finnish.
If only this round was finished.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Results won't likely be until the morning if the times of the theme announcement and nom release are anything to go by.

 

[por_please_ya]

Oh well, at least it's the weekend round.

There were three nationalities in a toilet.

One was Russian, one was Finnish and one was Papuan.

In the late 90s at my school, one of the guys "Alex" was a prodigy, a genius. Alex was the kind of student who aced every test, solved complex equations for fun, and even taught the teachers a thing or two about quantum physics. The accolades piled up like textbooks on a library shelf.

Fast forward thirteen years. I caught up with him on the Sunshine Coast at a marine park. There he was, clad in a wetsuit, feeding fish to dolphins and scrubbing algae off the glass tanks. I was in disbelief as to how he could have fallen so far.

I looked at him, puzzled, shaking my head, “what the hell are you doing here? You could have been a high-profile stockbroker, an engineer, a scientist—anything! And yet, you’re feeding fish to a ****ing porpoise.”

Alex grinned, his eyes reflecting the shimmering water. “You know,” he said, “I finally found my porpoise.”
