I really didn't like Portugal's song, but congratulations to them, I guess.

I didn't like it much the first time, but when they sung it together at the end I liked it a lot better ^_^ He seemed a lot happier not singing alone  :)

I thought we had a ”News from the Nordics” thread here somewhere but couldn’t find it. However this thread is also good for what I wanted to share.

Behold, Norway’s Eurovision song 2022!

There must be a very interesting backstory to that one... I'm dumbfounded. Why? Why banana? Why wolf? Why yellow? (Other than banana; see Q. 2) What's with the spaceman? We don't get a lot of exposure to the Eurovision Song Contest here in Canada, but most of my encounters with it have been similarly bewildering!  :'D

I have no idea! It’s been getting more and more out there, but yeah.

I encountered the phrase “new Nordic oddity” as something we have hereabouts. I guess this is an example  :sigrun:

I do feel like there is a certain appeal to media that is incredibly well-produced but simultaneously utterly and completely ridiculous and absurd.

On the other hand, I'd love to see Finland send Eläkeläiset!

... I note that, less than 1.5h before the finale starts, the forum is unusually(?) silent about the event ... ?

Well then let´s change that. I know it´s started by now, but in case anyone wants to join in?

My mom and I actually watched the semi-finals this year and noticed a few motives that kept popping up in the different entries.
So we made a Bingo-card out of them. (Plus some of the things that are always a classic at ESC).
Not supposed to be any sort of bad faith, just to have fun. :)

Bonuspoints if you get a Bingo on a single entry.

4x4 version:


5x5 version:

Hm, I mean... not really, does it? :'D (I might have counted it though I don´t remember...)

I also note that I managed to correctly spell "machine" exactly once out of four times on these Bingos...

I don't know what you're talking about, "Maschine" is the correct German spelling ... 8)
