[Music] Eurovision Song Contest 2025 ***Official Thread & Sweepstake***

[Frutos]

Here come the favourites.

 

[Frutos]

Don't think we'll be going to Lisbon next year.

 

[Swegulls]

Pretty poor so far.

 

[papachris]

Sweden were actually singing mostly in Swedish but partly in Finnish language. Maybe Swegulls knows more about that act.
But I liked that one actually.

 

[Swegulls]

Well,it’s only the word sauna that is actually Finnish, but all three of them are from Finland. Swedish is spoken in some parts of the country, with an accent of course. Crazy act!

Edit: Well, you are right, googled the text and it is some more words here and there, like perkele, yksi, kaksi, kolme. My bad, guess I haven’t listened!

Ok, thanks for that, I think the counting I noticed because it's quite similar to Estonian.
Yes, they are a bit crazy and fun. But not boring like some of the other countries

 

[Frutos]

Is there anyone left in San Marino who hasn't had a go at Eurovision yet?

 

[Anger]

Is there anyone left in San Marino who hasn't had a go at Eurovision yet?

Or played for their national football team?

And the answer to both of those questions is no.

 

[Swegulls]

Hazel and Sandra best so far.

 

[Frutos]

Petra!

 

[Eeyore]

I want Dustin back

 

[HillBarnTillIDie]

… it’s gone all weird, and that’s saying something

 

[FCB]

Hazel's tongue is the highlight of the evening, lol.

She likes to flirt with the guys by the look of it

“How Much Time Do We Have Left”

Seemingly little

 

[carlzeiss]

Just watched on fast forward and only paused for the Spanish entrant . Guess I'm not part of the intended audience

 

[Southern Scouse]

Loved the semi last night although feeling rough this morning after the strobe attack. Norway wasn’t awful which is a result as it’s my pick but loved Estonia! Eurovision is getting way too serious and the coffee shop song brought it back to where it should be!

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

In a world that, at the moment, is full of hate, division, war, and corruption, Eurovision brings a little bit of fun, love, and light into peoples lives - even if for just a short time, and regardless of race, gender, and politics.
I used to hate it as a youngster, but Ive grown so much more tolerant over the years, and now really enjoy the escapism for a couple of hours...despite some of the music quality Switzerland have done a great job as hosts by the looks of it too

 

[mrjon1976]

At least if San Marino doesnt win, the guy can make a living by being a Tim Westwood lookalike....
