My year has three seasons: Oscar season, Eurovision season, and summer. World's #1 fan of "Ein Lied kann eine Brücke sein" and Melodifestivalen 1987.
On first glance: Jonathan Bailey and Elmo so adorable. 🥰
On second thought: Is Jonathan's sweater made of Telly's fur? 😳
Julian Clary is the mole, but it’s especially hard to tell because he really just doesn’t seem to care about the game and he is always Like That.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Eurovision countries are not Pokémon. We do not “gotta catch ‘em all.”

Is the EBU making it cheaper to ensure that we have a full stable of competitors... or do these nations have a benefactor?

Just discovered this performance of "Gabriel's Oboe" sung by Jan Werner Danielsen, half of Norway's duo at Eurovision 1994, and... WOW.

If the 'Queen of Versailles' musical doesn't feature a song called "The Lizard Has Died" to the tune of "The Wizard and I," then I will be disappointed.

When Americans say that the US is the greatest country in the world, it's very clear they haven't tried Quaker Oats Harvest Crunch granola, available only in Canada.

19.08.2025 17:01 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Oooh, Austria 1999 definitely is. I can see what you mean about some of the others-- they have similar orchestrations, but to be a true Cucumber Melon you must be cucumbery and melony deep down to your soul. (Poland 1997 is more a Juniper Breeze, for instance.)

By the mid-2000s, the Cucumber Melon trend was dying off. But one brave singer wasn't ready to let it go, trying twice more to win the Eurovision trophy with its cool comforts.

But Albania actually took the brave step of *debuting* with a Cucumber Melon entry!
