Eurovision 2025: Basel (17 May) (8 Viewers)

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

What a NOTHING of a final theme!

"oooh SOMEONE'S GOING TO WIN TONIGHT!"

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

I assume they’ll been wheeling out ex-winners. There’ll be the inevitable Nemo perf, and wasn’t there rumours of Damiano David turning up at some point?

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

Yeah I'm sure I heard he'll be doing Born With A Broken Heart (and I imagine a verse/chorus at least of Zitti e buoni). Fingers crossed for a prerecorded video message of Celine saying she's so sorry she couldn't make it along too

 

[ADONK5]

What a NOTHING of a final theme!

"oooh SOMEONE'S GOING TO WIN TONIGHT!"

Surely the theme is just ICH KOMME

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

A random choice but nevertheless

LIKE CLEOPATRRRRRRA!

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

Bizarre.

You’re bizarre!

 

[Marina Salty]

A random choice but nevertheless

To show Tix what he's missing.

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

So the theme’s contestants who’ve canonically fucked other contestants? Who else is in this exclusive club?

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

Obviously Carola had sex with the head of the EBU in his car.

 

[auretz]

I remember at the time it was widely commented that Marcin Mroziński slept with Thea Garrett (Poland/Malta 2010), he has since come out as gay

 

[KNT]

So the theme’s contestants who’ve canonically fucked other contestants? Who else is in this exclusive club?

Omg ABBA are performing.

Where are CAN BONOMO AND KURT CALLEJA?

 

[VoR]

Where's LEA SIRK and the ALSATIAN?

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

Where's LEA SIRK and the ALSATIAN?

They’re already the interval for the 2026 Slovenian national final.

 

[VoR]

They’re already the interval for the 2026 Slovenian national final.

Oh Rusty, not blackface.

 

[TiShh]

Where is VoR and MICHAEL RICE

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

Where is VoR and MICHAEL RICE

VoR hasn't made it to Eurovision (yet)

 

[TiShh]

VoR hasn't made it to Eurovision (yet)

Set to the be the replacement for the annoying one from Remember Monday any day now!

(Replacement for resident Moopy Louise apologist still to be announced, but I'm hearing Ginny Lemon's being fingered...)

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

There is an absolutely EXCELLENT photo of VoR holding birds from back in the day which had a very powerful 'future San Marino entry' vibe to it, from recollection

 

[ADONK5]

More stage updates!

 

[AGinAg (38)]

WOW!

 

[Madison]

Was für eine ausgezeichnete Bühne!

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

At this point I think the entire 2021 lineup are just reuniting.

 

[Velvet sKANT]

At this point I think the entire 2021 lineup are just reuniting.

I hope Samanta Tīna has already started packing frilled outfits and looking for flights to Basel

 

[ADONK5]

Stand-in rehearsals start today which presumably means the stage construction is all complete. Will be frantically refreshing all day for some hot pics.

 

[VoR]

This fresh modern hit from Basel native Vincent Gross (the younger of this pair) and the quite fabulously named OLAF DER FLIPPER is getting a little bit of viral attention.



It's the kind of crap I'd LOVE one of the Germanic countries to actually have a crack with one of these years.

 

[auretz]

He was in the 2016 Swiss final (with a different vibe) so has form for being up for it:

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

at that UTTER PIGSHIT

 

[Madison]

The long-awaited votes from the weirdos of OGAE UK:

 

[Ha-lucy-nation]

BALLER UP!

 

[Bypass]

Nothing for Belgium?

 

[auretz]

Choosing to celebrate the 3 week countdown by rewatching Eurovision 1999

 

[Madison]

How many times?

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

Drunk rewatch at midnight?

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

Also is it me or has it really come around quick? Even with it being a week later than it has been in the past few years.

 

[auretz]

Also is it me or has it really come around quick? Even with it being a week later than it has been in the past few years.

I think it’s the sheer lack of excitement I don’t think I’ve ever felt less interested in the final result

 

[TiShh]

Drunk rewatch at midnight?

L'chaim! (But don't spoil who wins)

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

L'chaim! (But don't spoil who wins)

Croatia

 

[Bypass]

I think it’s the sheer lack of excitement

Basically, yes

So far this year I've listening to(off the top of my head) UK, Sweden, Austria, Ireland and Iceland.

3-4 years ago I'd heard every song and had at least 10-15 that I'd actively loved.

 

[Pingu]

Well I’ve reached the April assimilation stage where I’ve started to think most of the songs are a bit good, but I’m under no illusion that I’ll be continuing to listen to most of them from 18th May…
