Glad you liked Spain Mister and I agree with you about Sweden.
Denmark was quite cute and fun, but I was sort of bored by Netherlands.
It was nice, but boring. Hells yeah! Last song!!!
I missed out on Graham's commentary this year. My top 3 are Spain, Finland and Slovenia. Based on the audience, Sweden and Austria could be in the top.
It's cracking me up because I am SO invested this year. My wife went to bed long ago. The baby lasted through the last song, but now she's sleeping in her travel cot. We just didn't have this in the US, dammit!
Pulling for Sweden, but Austria is getting a lot of support. It could be anyone, though. That's what I love about it.
It's rare that my favorite wins, but there often a clear front - runner just in the performances. I nailed it last year.
Oh God! They showed Hard Rock Hallelujah! The worst winning song I've ever witnessed.
And last year's song is still better than this year's options. It was a pretty weak year.
Russia has gotten booed twice so far.
The boos for Russia are appropriate. For that hypocritical song performed at the gayest event in Europe. Seeing all the rainbow flags makes me so happy.
And that last song with the drums and water was the best of the night. Too bad it wasn't part of the competition.
I can't believe Hungary is rating so high. I thought they were one of the worst. And those Russian girls remind me of Prussian Blue. They creep me out.
I feel for them. They are obviously feeling the anger. I guess it was just someone in Russia trying to prove they aren't all dicks.
We're dropping down, dammit.
Yeah, I would definitely rate Sweden over the current top three.
I think Conchita's emotion is a little much. She's been crying and doing the Taylor Swift "ZOMG! FOR ME?!" face for days. (I may just be bitter.)
LOL. Looks like Conchita may run away with it. She'll be the most controversial winner since Dana International.
I would say this is Conchita's night.
Well, this was fun. Thanks for hanging with me, Mister Matt!
The bearded lady did it! It almost seems like a clear message to Russia.
It was fun! Let's do it again next year!
So happy for Conchita! Loved her little winners speech about it being for people who believe in freedom!
I do think it was a huge EFF YOU to Russia. He has the voice to back up the look, so I am all for it. The lyrics were great. I liked the speech, too. We ARE unstoppable!
My favorite from this year will continue to be "Dancing in the Rain," but Conchita brought it this week, and I am overjoyed with the win. I remember when she was in the Austrian national final in 2012. I absolutely loved her song "That's What I Am," and I have been bitter for the last two years that she lost. So, tonight made all of that go away.
