3 years ago we showed my best friend's wife, who is from Arizona, her first Eurovision. It ended in us tearing up their apartment and finding a hidden copy of the Crocodile Dundee OST on cd, which I demanded I have for posterity. I still have it. I don't remember a lot, but our written reviews of each artist is framed in their flat.
Tomorrow we will be doing round two. There will be gambling, bingo cards, aperol spritzes, whiskey forfeits. This should be interesting.
Having familiarised myself with the acts, and rattled through both semi finals this week, I'm convinced we're in for something of a vintage year with this. Dead excited.
So my friend in Japan who I swap houses with when we go is probably king Eurovision, having been 5 times to see it live. He advises that the following countries are time to pay attention for one reason or the other
Spoiler:
Netherlands , Australia, Italy, France , Switzerland and FUCKING ICELAND
Read a great tweet yesterday, can’t find it sadly but it went something along the lines of
“People of Europe, let’s troll Britain by voting for them to win Eurovision, then next year after Brexit takes place they have to host a huge celebration of the love and unity that is Europe”
Not everything is The Best or Shit. Theres many levels between that, lets just enjoy stuff.
