Eurovision 2025: Basel (17 May) (2 Viewers)

[Apo-KANT!]

What if she seizes this opportunity to announce that she will try to compete once more ?

What if she doesn’t

[Soldi Elektronike]

Georgia randomly leaking what is presumably their postcard was not on my bingo card

 

[ADONK5]

Preparty season starts tonight, so presumably we'll start to hear reports of who can actually sing live and who might be headed for a car crash.

Really intrigued to see if JJ can pull off Wasted Love live.

 

[VoR]

I do hope we get at least one total train wreck. I still have fond memories of when we collectively realised where this one was heading...

[Madison]

Confiscate and reallocate the Americans’ tickets.

 

[VoR]

Compared to last year

1.(NE) Switzerland
2.(3) Germany
3.(2) United Kingdom
4.(NE) France
5.(8) Spain
6.(6) Netherlands
7.(5) United States
8.(7) Australia
9.(NE) Austria
10.(NE) Italy

Last year Sweden were #1, Denmark #4, Ireland #9 and Finland #10.

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

Confiscate and reallocate the Americans’ tickets.

It's called RECOGNITION OF OUR CULTURAL HEGEMONY

 

[rhythmbandit]

I do hope these slow motion endings to the postcards make a return this year.

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

God I loved so much of last year's graphic design

 

[ADONK5]

I loved the postcard theme music as well, I can just listen to it on a loop.

 

[auretz]

Given the excellent taste they’ve shown so far in the stunning font, colours etc I’m sure the show this year will look wonderful

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

Yes, the serif font this year really is FUCKING DISGUSTING. Looks so cheap and Windows 95. My designer friends try to tell me it's back in, as if that's an argument when MULLETS AND TRANSPHOBIA are TOO!

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

ZenGiraffe reportedly thrilled. Luca Hänni is turning up as well.

 

[VoR]

Marius Bear waiting sadly by the phone.

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

ZenGiraffe reportedly thrilled. Luca Hänni is turning up as well.

How dare they, at the former, thank god for the latter

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

Marius Bear waiting sadly by the phone.

In tears I heard

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

I believe the Swiss are evil.

 

[KNT]

I hear that a decree has been issued from on high that every act must work Lumo into their staging.

 

[VoR]

Whenever Lumo isn't onstage, everybody should be asking 'Where's Lumo?'

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

I believe the Swiss are evil.

KILL IT!

 

[VoR]

Speaking of accursed mascots...

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

I believe the Swiss are evil.

You know someone’s going to FUCK POOR LUMO.

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

You know someone’s going to FUCK POOR LUMO.

It'll be JJ.

 

[win_the_game]

Speaking of accursed mascots...

He’s no RICH CIOLINO.

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

 

[Marina Salty]

To show Blas Canto what he's missing

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

It still makes me yelp that they were all over each other's Instas for the fortnight after, until Gjon went to Spain - after which, NEVER AGAIN

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

The sheer scale of Blas’ PAINTING made GUERNICA jealous.

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

 

[ADONK5]

I'm still not convinced by the weird arch:

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

Hate it!

 

[Say Sheena-na-na]

OT: But I can't remember the last time I was LESS invested in a Eurovision. I went through a brief stage of not paying TOO MUCH MIND, but by this point I always had a few songs I was hammering. I haven't even played them all this year.

I'm hoping that will mean an INTERESTING AND NICE SURPRISE come May.

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

A random choice but nevertheless

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

MATA MATA HARI!

 

[Madison]

Bizarre.

 

[VoR]

Does she have a connection to Switzerland?

They're doing themes for the Semi Finals this year apparently, so unless she's secretly Swiss, I would assume she's part of some kind of 'fan favourites' medley, most likely in the second Semi Final.

• Semi-Final 1: Where It All Began – an homage to the Eurovision Song Contest’s birthplace, Switzerland
• Semi-Final 2: Eurovision fans – a big party for anyone who’s ever enjoyed the Eurovision Song Contest
• Grand Final: Let’s Celebrate a New Winner – 26 countries will compete for the coveted glass trophy and the whole of Europe and beyond will be joining in on the excitement and celebrations
