Bonsai trees shooting lasers. It was really just a matter of time.

Broken Hearted Road

It looks like she got a load of preschoolers to dress her up.

murpho999

What is she wearing?

100cent

Reminds me on Rihanna's Umbrella.

Marty mentioning Frans was 17 but not mentioning Jamie-Lee is barely 18. Interesting.

Welsh Megaman

Man, I'm tripping.

Bland like Margerine. Merkel should have found a singing Syrian

Mr.Nice Guy

Unfortunately for Germany, Japan won't be voting this year.

Ya decent effort from Ms Perry for Germany, needs more drum rolls and slap bass or trumpets

Valentina

Reminds me of the year I spent in Japan.

Pete Burns?

No, no no, far more normal. No name that would be known recently. Leave it with me.

Song not bad in fairness.

Lunger

She's really a thousand year old spirit, you know...

Busi_Girl08

Here's Mark Ruffalo.

Thought from the costume this was going to be some j-pop madness but I'm disappointed.

Go Harvey Go

Ah, the French song with an English chorus...

Mr.Nice Guy

Here's my pick. G'wan France.

Germany was alright, think it would be a grower if I had heard it more before now.

Ponster

As a chap on reddit just said "if Isis takes over Germany we won't have to put up with this again"

Graigmanliam

Advance warning here's an avalanche of french smug

Skid X

Remember Sébastien Tellier?

BoJack Horseman

France break their one rule (like Batman) and sing in English / take a life.

Skid X

Don't like France singing in English.


Famous dead French people will be turning in their graves

RobertKK

France really wants to win given they have some English in their song.

France should do alright this year.

I like this but would be so much better if it was all in French.

If Ireland has the same stage energy as this French bloke. ..

I part heard on the radio that there is a company or companies that the broadcasters go to to write them a generic english language euro-pop song?

There are professional songwriters, not necessarily in companies, who will write songs on demand. In the USA there are people like Diane Warren; I don't know about Europe, but Gary Barlow writes songs for other artists and didn't mind Malta using one of his songs in Eurovision 2014.

ibarelycare

Also he's a ride.

Busi_Girl08

I'm really pissed off that he isn't Italian because that would have been a perfect "When the moon hits your eye" moment.

mansize

All French men are sexy

coffeepls

Ok that's my numero uno so far - loved it

RobertKK

That was good by France.

irishguitarlad

This is going to go close,its the typical bland eurovision material, only problem is dont know if it will beat the eastern bloc countries.

Andy From Sligo

feck he was out of breath at the end of the song!

Mr.Nice Guy

I thought he sang that well. Might be in the mix.

Welsh Megaman

Here's Kirk Hammett

Lunger

Oh God, I forgot this got through. I'm not mad, Poland, just disappointed.
