Finland 2023: Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha

[lolly]

Are we overestimating the British crowd here? Because I bet a bigger chunk of the audience than normal is not going to be your usual Euroloons and won’t have heard the song before May.

Goodness, I hope they won't struggle with the lyrical complexity of it all.

 

[C’est la VoR]

I imagine the crowd will get right into it. Weird comparison, but I remember the stadium full of queens singing along to Sanna's Undo being quite an elevating moment.

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

Also I'd imagine either way that the majority of the crowd will probably know the songs before they turn up...

 

[Say Sheena-na-na]

Goodness, I hope they won't struggle with the lyrical complexity of it all.

Oh come on! That wasn’t my point. But the amount of FUCKING STRAIGHTS on the bandwagon this year suggests it won’t be your STANDARD audience, and certainly not comparable to the usual semis audience.

 

[Alla]

All they have to scream is CHA CHA CHA, it's not like if they have to rehearse. Straights? Give them some booze and they'll be screaming queens.

They seem to manage on football terraces when they are beered up. And we already know Eurovision is going down a storm at Macclesfield FC.

 

[Say Sheena-na-na]

You’re all missing the point! It’s not that hard, no, but how many are going to know it before the semis? That’s my only point. It’s not about lyrical complexity here!

 

[Alla]

It will take one Chachacha for everyone to figure out, and I don't think there's going to be a single sober straight in the stadium, they will scream from the second Chachacha.

 

[lolly]

You’re all missing the point! It’s not that hard, no, but how many are going to know it before the semis? That’s my only point. It’s not about lyrical complexity here!

It's more the fact that I don't really think you've got one.

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

Given the ticket prices for the semis I don’t think the casuals will be in such HUGE AMOUNTS.

 

[C’est la VoR]

Yeah how many ‘casuals’

A) realised how high the demand would be and planned accordingly?

and

B) willingly forked out the frankly extortionate cost of the tickets?

It’ll be screaming middle aged queens a go-go and ALL THE BETTER FOR IT.

 

[lolly]

Any straights who logged on to buy tickets knowing Eurovision semi finals were even a thing are already fully on board anyway.

You’re forgetting that I was also there and am well aware it was about ten near the front.

 

[C’est la VoR]

The important thing is that it READ ON TELEVISION

Oh good, Käärijä's fine if half the audience DOES turn out to just be Joe and Jess from Sefton who'd heard something was on locally and fancied doing something on a Tuesday night for once

 

[Pingu]

Anyway all of this is irrelevant because they’ll obviously let them have the cha cha cha on the backing track. When have they ever been strict about any of this stuff?

Croatia a mere TEN POINTS AWAY from being relegated from the 2003 contest but for Doris Dragovic's doping, so I hear

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

Imagine paying hundreds of pounds to go and see Eurovision and not bother to listen to any of the songs beforehand

I KNOW RIGHT

Not nice to say it but anyone with tickets who hasn’t listened to them a hundred times and can’t hum at least one of the songs backwards should be MACHINE GUNNED AT THE DOOR!

Do people like this even exist? Go for a night out at the fucking Gala Bingo instead if you don’t know the songs!

I mean, that is basically semi two in a nutshell.

I’ve just listened to this song and

QUITE. Anyone causing us to have unnecessary and frightening levels of anxiety to have their legs chopped off please

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

Love all these indepth sociological analysis of an audience that doesn't exist yet. It's also a touch presumptive, that just because YOU didn't get tickets, that those who did are all Ed Sheeran fans, with a gay best friend and never explored Eurovision beyond the Wogan years.

I do however hear that Amanda and Dave from Bootle spent thousands of pounds on front row tickets because they’re hoping for Linda Martin

 

[funky]

I’m not a Eurovision fan and I think this song is the drizzling shits

YOUR SURVEY OF ONE HAS SPOKEN

But is this a compliment? YOU YOUNG PEOPLE AND YOUR FANCY TERMINOLOGY

 

[funky]

Young? YOUNG?

I don’t like your sarcastic tone

 

[funky]

Amanda and Dave from Bootle

OMG I know them

Well I think you can safely assume that anything I hate will do well at Eurovision

TAKE THAT AS YOU WILL

Well this is all very unclear. Obviously if you don't like it I shall be instructing Let 3 to run you over with their lovely tractor

If it’s Dave and Amanda from Bootle they probably got a second hand pitbull off Gumtree

We don’t get cocker spaniels SOUTH OF FORMBY

Well they say they're cocker spaniels but I've seen the bites and I did say to Amanda that she needs to stop smearing Chum on her fancy

I have broken into giggles several times today thinking about this, particularly the "Weird comparison, but" preface. Oh @VoR

(Love ya)

I'm not being funny babe but you could literally be a jury voter.
