Eurovision 2016 3: REVENGE OF THE GLITTER

[dhampyresa]

Unpopular Eurovision opinion: I liked the UK song from last year.

Belgium: Bored.
Czech Republic: It's cute.
Netherlands: I like the clock floor.
Azerbaidjan: I like it! Nice lightshow and costumes.
Hungary: Whistling! And one the drummers from Mad Max.
Italy: It's cute, but I like the Italian parts more than the English ones.
Isreal: This is 100% what Billy Kaplan's Eurovision entry would look like, between the hair and the lyrics.
Bulgaria: I LOVE IT! (It is 100% a Pride song, idc.)
Sweden: Eh.
Germany: WHAT.
France: I like the rhymes. (Also, time to play "how many locations in the postcard can I name", lmao.)
Poland: Meh.
Interlude: ???
Australia: Nice dress! Great voice and glitter too.
Cyprus: THIS IS GREAT!
Serbia: Her dress suits her perfectly. And the song is great.
Lithuania: How very boys band (in a good way!).
Croatia: Glitter dress!
Russia: The wings are awesome -- the staging is pretty great in general, tbh.
Spain: How many contestants have this hairstyle.
Latvia: It's okay.
Ukraine: I'm crying and the staging is great.
Malta: It's fine.
Georgia: My least favourite.
Latveria: Fuck the haters, this one's great.
Austria: Conspiracy theory time, this lovely song is about the refugiee crisis.
Wales: Put some effort in your costuming, guys.
Armenia: I think I liked this one better in the semi.

Unexpected Ian McKellen is unexpected!

My favourites: Italy, Israel, Bulgaria, Australia, Cyprus, Serbia, Ukraine, Latveria and Austria.

I was surprised Cyprus didn't get more votes. (And us. Do we know who sits on the juries? Do we know how many points we got from France? ^^ )

[dhampyresa]

Me too! (On both counts. Your song was super lovely.)

I confused "Latvia" with "Latveria" and thought for a second there Latveria was a Eurovision contestant.

WHAT WOULD LATVERIA'S EUROVISION ENTRY LOOK LIKE THO

[dhampyresa]

Latveria and Latvia are both on that list, fyi.

LATVERIA IS TOTALLY A EUROVISION CONTESTANT WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT (the fic link, click it)

[ljwrites]

Does the ending mean Doom is going to do it himself? XD

[dhampyresa]

YESSSSSS

(Apparently it looked like this.)

Yay, you posted it! And Cyprus was my favourite, followed by Australia. (I thought she had a great voice but I didn't love the song so much.) Well, those and the Latverian entry, obviously.

Thanks again for the beta, btw.

I feel like the Latverian entry was everyone's favourite, tbh, and I'm no exception. For me it was Bulgaria, then Cyprus, but I'm really glad Ukraine won anyway.

[bunn.livejournal.com]

Wow, Ukraine. TENSE final!

[dhampyresa.livejournal.com]

I KNOW RIGHT

So glad she won!

Je n'ai pas suivi de près, mais c'est bien qu'on ait eu la 6ème place. J'aimais bien la chanson.

[dhampyresa.livejournal.com]

Il a fait un très bon score. La chanson était pas mal, mais il s'est carrément pas foulé au niveau du costume.

I got to watch Eurovision live for the first time - it's never aired on TV before in the US - and it was so much fun! You basically had the same reactions I did.

Russia was my favorite as a performance, though I very much see why people wouldn't want to vote for them, and Bulgaria was my #2. I was happy with Ukraine winning, though! The last few minutes of the voting was so exciting!

[dhampyresa.livejournal.com]

IT IS SO MUCH FUN Did you get your own commentators?

Bulgaria was my faaaaaaaaaaaaaaavourite, but Russia was also good. I am very very happy with Ukraine winning -- her song made me cry both times I heard it.

It was mega tense, I loved it.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

We did! ....they were not very good, but since I ended up watching it in a bar, people mostly talked over them, and that was fine.
