I went to school with a kid who would pay other kids 50p for a scab so he could eat it. 😮

 

50p a pop.. That's some high grade scab-age then...

In my country Latvia - to get further at Eurovisio it is no chance for rock, metal, jazz, latin. Only perfectly balanced pop, soul or disco with superbably writen words that slime together in each part. No other way, believe me i have tried a lot.

Don't blame it on the sunshine

Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the bogie

Genuine question...are the vocals now the only 'live' part of the performances?

Yes, just the lead vocals, the backing vocals are pre-recorded, too.

[BigRedX]

The rules say the lead vocal must be live and that there can be no more than six performers on stage. However it’s a competition, there is 60 seconds set up time between acts so the less you have that could go wrong the better. That means keep the live stuff to the minimum. THB it’s better now then when everyone had to use the Eurovision orchestra regardless of the recorded arrangement of the song.

It doesn't always go right though - sometimes the performers can't hear the backing, with predictable results.

Lord Of The Lost actually covered Voyager's Promise.  That seems to be a thing this year, the artists doing covers of the other artists!

Those Aussies just rocked the living sheeeet out of the house. Cap doffed in their direction.

I once stayed in their singer’s apartment for a week whilst doing some shows in Germany with his old band. I would very much like them to win!

I believe this is a thing they’ve been asked to do - cover another (past or present) Eurovision artist.

The UK entry covered Abba’s SOS.

Slovenia was decent, too. The bass presence is strong in this one.

 

 

[Waddo Soqable]

Yeah but, no but.. When did Australia become part of Europe...??

To be honest, I have had no interest in this thread but, while scrolling down the thread list, I saw your description and had to have a look. I’m really glad I did, too! That was great!
