Let's keep this white-hot momentum rolling, shall we?

Please submit your votes in the indicated scoring formats by no later than 12.00 noon on Sunday 3rd May. (Results to follow sometime before doomsday)

Croatia

In spirit if not on record, Croatia won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1989. Following the dissolution of Yugoslavia they enjoyed a truly excellent 90s, but things started to tail off quite dramatically in the 2000s, and by the 2010s they were well and truly in the dumper. Following a two year hiatus, a mild comeback from 2016-2017 at least put them back in the finals, but we're a very long way from the glory days of Doris and Danijela here...

Romania

Romania is a country I always assume has a better record at Eurovision than they actually do, results wise. Probably because they're almost always in the finals and they did score a couple of big hits in the 00s. They open this decade with their second (and, to date, last) podium finish, but after that things tailed off quite a bit. Not generally for want of trying, though.

Infamously disqualified in 2016 for failing to pay the bills on time, so no sign of chubby funster Ovidiu Anton I'm afraid.

Switzerland

Oh, the Swiss. First ever Eurovision winners was back in 1956 and again in 1988 with no less a figure than Celine Dion. By God was it slim pickin's after that though...

I'll say this, most of these songs are more aggressively mediocre than downright bad, and they did manage to rouse themselves at the end of the decade to land their first top five placing in 25 years. So y'know, anything's possible...

[Baby It’s Soldi Outside]

Croatia are NEVER going to be able to top this no matter what they send in the future

@Dark Carnival

 

[Penelope]

Votes before 3rd April? WHICH YEAR?

 

[Penelope]

God, there are two slices of absolute DOG CUNT in that Romanian line-up

 

[RimfrostVoR]

Votes before 3rd April? WHICH YEAR?

Amended (though the original may prove to have been more accurate!)

@Dark Carnival

Croatia? More like the whole WORLD, henny! What a perf! What a voice! What a woman! *gay coma*

 

[Mary's Boy Tart]

I always think I love Romania, but looking at that line-up I think it’s just residual goodwill from Tornero that keeps me interested.

Switzerland have had a decent run of it recently, potentially barring the Last of Our Kind performance. Chronic back spasms don’t make riveting choreography.

I’ll buy you her album for your birthday/Christmas (If she even ever RELEASED one )

 

[Diddy]

Chronic back spasms don’t make riveting choreography.

I thought she was getting her squats in. The Swiss never skip leg day!

 

[win_the_game]

I just assumed she was about ready to piss herself.

 

[Kaleen]

That fucking RYKKA is the most VACANT person I have ever met. I had to interview her and it was like PULLING TEETH.

 

[Mary's Boy Tart]

I thought she was getting her squats in. The Swiss never skip leg day!

I'm just off the phone with her now. Apparently, she'd put her pants on the wrong way round and she was just trying to dislodge them from her crevice without having to stick a hand down and do it manually. Anyway, she sends her love.

I liked her acrylic hair. Is she American, or have I made that up?

Canadian.

did she have good QUADS?

 

[Mary's Boy Tart]

I knew next to nothing about Femminem until a few minutes ago, and now I'm hoping we can introduce Boob Rate to the Moopyvision threads.

DISGUSTING

sadly Jacques Houdek won the Croatia Golden Boob

Oh my God... the Golden Boob! Can we go back and award this to every country we've ranked so far? And we could have the Bag of Spanners award for must physically repulsive act (non-gender specific).

Axel the runaway winner for BELGIUM

A face only a mother could love, and a cock she should love a bit less.

 

[Diddy]

A face only a mother could love, and a cock she should love a bit less.

A face only a mother could love, unless said mother is a writhing Dementor

 

[Penelope]

and a cock she should love a bit less.

And yet she had to learn to with Axel

 

[Mary's Boy Tart]

And yet she had to learn to with Axel

Did you know he was breast-feeding until the age of 35?

 

[Alla]

I totally forgot about this (I assume as everyone else ) Are you doing this tomorrow then? Just to know if I have some more days to vote.

 

[Dark Carnival]

omg totally forgot about this as well! I blame the ORGANISERS.

 

[D5K Hard]

Oh don't worry we'll have at least three weeks to vote.

 

[lolly lolly (The Coventry Carol)]

@VoR, what's the likelihood of voting actually being closed at noon?

 

[Dark Carnival]

I'M ON IT

 

[RimfrostVoR]

Only 9 votes in so far, OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH, so I'll extend the voting.

And I had some free time today as well!

 

[Baby It’s Soldi Outside]

Look at all these unreliable voters KILL THEM ALL!

 

[Dark Carnival]

OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH

 

[DJ Play Ag Christmas Song (39)]

I'll have a look soon!

 

[RimfrostVoR]

Honestly, you take ONE month-long hiatus...

 

[lolly lolly (The Coventry Carol)]

I've been rather enjoying too much classic Eurovision to plough through this shit. But I'll start wading through now.

 

[win_the_game]

All you DEMANDING gays whining for this and you can't even be bothered to vote.

 

[Alla]

Well I would have voted yesterday if you have bothered answering a simple yes/no question. It's not like you are bothered with this much more than us, dear VoR.

 

[RimfrostVoR]

If it helps, this is the PENULTIMATE round. One more after this and we move into the SEMI FINALS
