    Ah, Eurowings.
    And headband.

    The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

    The Entryism process: 1) Demand access; 2) Demand accommodation; 3) Demand a seat at the table; 4) Demand to run the table; 5) Demand to run the institution; 6) Run the institution to produce more activists and policy until they run it into the ground.

    It's fairly obvious now why nobody had heard of Lesley Roy before she got the Eurovision gig

    That was pretty shabby. The set looked like a knock off from a 90's RTE kids show. The song was like the aspirational type stuff the worst netflix kids animation shows pump out.

    If it was offered to Bus Eireann for an advert, I'm not sure they'd take it tbh

    Lesley started off rough but got into it.

    It was staged by the guy who did Heroes for Sweden so I wouldn't diss the staging.

    Norway dont seem to realise you can overdo irony in your staging so it really does look as stupid as what you're parodying

    Nope but there is a reason you can only see 5 people on stage.

    Your allowed 6....so someone in the shadows helping her.

    El Diablo was the best for me so far. I think this one isn't great now I hear it live, she's struggling a bit with the high notes and lip-syncing the chorus I think

    Iceland are in next semi but this is stronger semi.
    Two of the big 6 have good chance this year for a change France and Italy.
