Eurovision Song Contest 2017 - Grand Final

[Puupi]

lol wtf were those security bodyguards around the winner, like he was chosen the president of the US.

[ranzino]

spain and germany just done fucked up

we are accustomed by now. last win was 2010, a lot of countries never made it so far though.

[Puupi]

he could have just said "thank you"

Not allowed

actually it is, Céline Dion sung for Switzerland, I think only restrictions are that the song and music must be original and unreleased, and that there is an age requirement.

[ranzino]

Not allowed

but Celine Dion ?

Lena should have never tried a 2nd time.

And thef Portugal just so boring. like zzzzzzzz....

Hmm okay, i thought they also didn't allow actual current successfull people to participate

The whole big 5 thing isn't good for UK, Spain, Germany, Italy and France. Only problem is, if it were removed, they'd never get past the semis. Then they'd leave the contest and take the funding with them.

[DarkAmbient]

Oops, he dun goofed.

[Snowfunk]

Well, thanks to this thread I actually watched the conclusion of this abomination of a contest.

Winning song was actually pretty beautiful, and not some overly produced garbage. Well done Portugal, Gz on first win.

[Serpha]

Still wouldn't win, this competition (farce) is political, it has nothing at all to do with talent.

If it's political why did Portugal win?

Nice touch with his sister joining (who wrote the lyrics). This is one of those songs you can listen to on a sunday chill morning. With coffee and a newspaper.

That could force people to send retards to sing shit songs there.

Oh wait we did that already.

/s

Iberian peninsula, a great example in diversity, with participants at every end of the spectrum.

he could have just said "thank you"

Of all places he chose Eurovision to make that statement. lol

[Deleted]

yup, which is why I don't understand why countries dont have big name acts. Hell I would be interested in seeing Metallica perform an original track and perform for another country, just to see the reactions

If it's political why did Portugal win?

Because nobody thinks the are cunts at the moment and they want to hold then next one there. Things like Spain giving them 12, or Cyprus giving Greece 12..cmon.

[ranzino]

well, we are pissed i guess...

[DarkAmbient]

Song was pleasant enough, I suppose. Not particularly memorable.

It's got touches of La Vie en Rose. Very pretty.
