Good evening, and welcome to our annual celebration of all things Eurovision. Switzerland are hosting for the third time, they hosted the inaurgural contest all the way back in 1956. Their flag is also a big plus.

  • Host city: Basel
  • Arena: St. Jakobshalle
  • Slogan: Welcome Home
  • Hosts: Hazel Brugger, Michelle Hunziker and Sandra Studer

The lovely folks over at r/Eurovision have once again done AMAs with all the performers, these can be found here.

If shitposting is more your thing, you can always check out r/nilpoints.

Have we all got our snacks and drinks ready? Let's see if we can do reasonably well. At least we'll have Graham's snark to keep us going if not.

  1. Everything about this is early seventies as fuck. I quite like it.

  2. A Bob Dylan rip off song performed by a David Bowie impersonator. An odd choice for sure.

  3. Italy…the love child of Elton John and Marilyn Manson

  4. I’m sure I’ve heard this song before, quite 70s British

  5. If David Bowie was bitten by a zombie (that also removed any charisma or the talent)

  7. Italy have no intention of trying to win. That’s the only explanation.

  8. A rip of Last Request by Paolo Nutini but with KISS aesthetic?

  9. Can we get a midway feel for this year’s offerings? I feel on the whole it’s pretty weak.

  10. I like it. Won’t get anywhere near the top 10 but I like it.

  11. Gene Simmons doing a Bob Dylan impression? Interesting

  12. Take a shot every time the have a sweeping shot of the crowd

  13. To me this says Italy don’t want to host next year but want a bit of respect

  16. Enjoying the hard coded subs for the Italian song! 🇮🇹

  28. Italy and Iceland my favourites so far. Totally different but that’s why Eurovision works!

  29. Is it just my telly or do they all start off really weak/quiet?

  33. So some info for you all – the polish song is written in the podlachian language, a microlanguage in Poland. It’s pretty cool hearing it in Eurovision.

  42. This is like a song that would play in a club in a budget vampire movie.

  44. I like how the chorus is just AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH

  45. Impressive staging, but the song doesn’t do much for me.
