Eurovision 2017 OP:

So this is for all the European (Israeli and Australian) Lipsters who love and watch this iconic yearly event. 
 
This year's contest is gonna take place in Kyiv and if you don't already know this year Russia decided to withdraw from the contest because they send an act that violated the ukranian law.
 
nvmd politics aside, let the hunger games begin. The show starts at 9pm central european time and is also being livestreamed on youtube 
 
here is a recap of all the songs that managed to qualify for the grand finale in the official running order:

[Melania 2,386]

the whole russia ukraine situation is mess, and it's all putins fault

but i'm happy the ESC is in my mom's home country this year

 

and i'm so rooting for france such a bop,

germany will lose again, this year deserved tho, such a bad song

[SlowGinFizzzz 15,354]

Most of the songs are rather forgettable, IMO. And the Austrian entry is not only forgettable, but also really bad.

I'm rooting for France too, it's a bop. I surprisingly like the Dutch song as well. I also kinda like the Bulgarian one, plus he's cute.  If only he got his teeth fixed. The Swedish entry is one of these typical ESC songs, I wouldn't be surprised if they win.

 

Also, I still think that Polina Gagarina was robbed two years ago!

[Miss Honeydew 616]

So excited to see it! 

 

I'm rooting for Portugal's Salvador Sobral. It's such a delicate song in its native Portuguese. 

[californianfreak 3,484]

I will listen to G-Eazy for a week if the UK gets into double figures

[Amadeus 11,334]

you better revoke this statement since lucie is actually in the press predictions for the top 10 and will land some pretty good jury votes with these vocals and one of the best stagings this year. It wouldn't be surprising if she scored a spot on the left side tonight.

 

My favourites this year are Portugal, France, Azerbaijan, Latvia (which didn't make it and was robbed), Finland (also robbed at the semi), Belarus (it's cute) the UK. I'd be fine any of the three favourites Portugal, Italy and Bulgaria winning though because they all deserve it.

Croatia is the worst entry though, it's even worse than Germany but i'm afraid some mums will vote for it because they think it's talent. 

[Roll With me 5,667]

I was really excited for this year, although I think it's a little weak, but unluckily I'll miss the event because I have to attend a birthday party. Anyway, I'd like Denmark, Italy or Portugal to win. I also like France and I used to like Belgium, but the live performance... I'm from Spain, but the candidate this year is one of the worst.

[Amadeus 11,334]

I used to like Belgium, but the live performance...

yes i can't get over the fact that Blanche is serving SNL performances but is being praised for being "emotional" on stage 

[Lanas honey pot 1,370]

So excited to see it! 

 

I'm rooting for Portugal's Salvador Sobral. It's such a delicate song in its native Portuguese. 

TY 

[Melania 2,386]

 

i REALLY liked her last year, the song was good too, this was just unfair

[Wild One 3,306]

Best eurovision song.

[litewave 519]

Belgium's entry is so Lana... the music, the lyrics, and also the performance lol

[Amadeus 11,334]

can we also talk about how estonia tried to bring born to die realness to the contest with this duet about a tragically reckless type of love and the beehive, white snl dress and tragic live vocals.

[butterflies 3,039]

This show is becoming so boring.

So many non catchy boring ballads and no one is even TRYING to deliver something different/edgy...

And now they even have exposure in America and Japan if I'm not wrong and still not delivering IT...

 

It was fun and entertaining to watch it before.

Even some trashy songs were better than this what is served today...

 

I wish I can participate lol

So in addition to Italy, this is another song that explicitely takes a swipe at Western civilization. Italy's song is more fun though

sounds like modern talking lol

[Cherry on Top 395]

This contest is a joke. No credibility at all. It's all about politics, and obviously Ukraine was going to play the victim, as usual. Russia didn't withdraw, they were not allowed to enter, which is different.

 

"The Ukrainian Security Service banned wheelchair bound Samoylova from entering the country for three years over her performance in Crimea in 2015 which Kiev deemed illegal."

 

The majority of people in Crimea are of Russian origin. They had a referendum and they chose to re-join Russia. They've been part of Ukraine only since 1954. The western media are making a big tragedy out of this, making it look as if people there are unhappy about being part of Russia.

 

The only ones who are unhappy about this are Ukraine (for losing territory) and NATO for losing a very strategic area where to position their troops and weapons aiming at Russia.

[Yosemite 23,786]

So excited to see it! 

 

I'm rooting for Portugal's Salvador Sobral. It's such a delicate song in its native Portuguese.

I never like my country's songs (Portugal) because they literally are horrible.

Suzy's was... TRAGIC. But I really like Salvador's and I really hope we win 

TY 

És português?

Afinal, há mais portugueses aqui do que eu pensava 

[SlowGinFizzzz 15,354]

Best eurovision song.

Honestly, truly.

I'm so happy to have been part of the crowdfunding for her album before she became big (well, at least Eurovision-"big").
